"The Krencliman likes bis snails

tnblos adapted to small areas, a space

Half an ncro properly cultivated with
a e'aroful crop rotation may eaully

When to Woik Soil.
If tlio Harden wna not broken In
the fall It should ho plowed In the
BprliiK an soon as the frost Is out of
the ground. Small nicaa may be
workod with u spade, pushing tlio
blade Into Its full depth and turn
ing tlio soil to lironk up tlio clods.
Heavy soils should novor bo worked
whon wet. Ovorzoalous gardeners,
ready to nelzo the first wnrm spoil as
n favorable opportunity to go out
nnd work the honvy elny soil heforo
It Is dry. arc not only wasting their
energy, but nro doing a tlamngo to
tlio soil from which It will tnko yonrs
for It to rocover. To dolormlno when
heavy soils nro rondy for plowing a
handful of earth should bo collected
from tlio Biirfnco 'an 1 tlio fingers
tightly closed on .It. If tlio ball of
campiictoil earth Is dry enough for
culthntlon, It will fnll apart when
tlio hnnd Is opened.
A garden spot nenr tlio bouse Is oft-
on mora deslrnblo than a plot which Is
In batter tilth but located nt an In
convonlent distance. A garden which
U noar tlio houso will recolvo many
u spurts hour of euro from adults and
children which would otherwlso be
wasted.' Where thoro Is ample room
for the soleetlon of a garden site, the
slopo of the land should be careful
ly considered. A gentlo slope to
wards tlio south Is most desirable for
growing early crops, while It U a
decided advantage to hnve the plot
protected on tlio north ami north
west by either a bill, a group of
buildings or a hoard fonco.
Dnilnago of tlio garden Is of great
Importance. The land should have
sufficient fall to drain off surplus
water during heavy rains and yet not
so stoop that tlio soil will he washed
or gullied. The surface should ho
noarly level so the water will not
stand In hollows. Whero tlio natural
slope of the land does not provide a
sufficient natural drainage, dltchos
may be dug or n tlio drain put In.
This will prevent wnsto water from
tlio adjoining land from washing over
It. Such water may carry wood and
grans eol Into the garden, which are
In tor culled out with difficulty.

the 'Balanced' Tire
The greatest forward step ever made
in pneumatic tires
On January 8th, In the Saturday Evening
Post, we announced that at last we had
made pneumatic rubber tires more liko
other dependable articles of merchandise.
Stop and analyze tills tires the reason for the
Gigantic sales increases
In our tires since Sep
temberlast. Many months ago we
finally worked out and
began producing the
completely ' balanced '
pneumatic tire the
heretofore unattainable
goal of every tire manufacturer.
To be 100 per cent, efficient, a tire must be atso
lutely 'balanced' that is, the rubber tread and
the fabric carcass of the tire must give equal wear.
'Balance' the tire maker's goal
To bare nerfect 'bal
ance' the rubber tread
must have enough resil
iency to absorb road
shocks that tend to dis
integrate the fabric, and
still must hnvo the
toughifess to give long
wear.
Too much toughness
reduces 'resiliency) ton
much resiliency sacrifices
toughness.
Problem I find the'baU
auce.'
Full rubber-tread effi
ciency demands a SO-SO
'balance' of resiliency
and toughness.
I'll II fabric-carcass effi
ciency demands a SO-SO
'balance' of fabric layers
and rubber a union that
will make tread-separation
impossible.
Full, complete tire efficiency demands a 50-50
'balance' of the rubber tread and the fabric carcass
neither may be stronger nor weaker than the other.
