Garden truck, the second largest crops, in the point of value, grown in the United States, is raised on but two per cent of the land especially adaptable for that pur pose and most of the remaining 98 per cent is idle.

The old prejudice against women as workers held full sway. The official excuse against their employment was that it was necessary at all times to maintain a force available for "field service" and women could not be ox Tiected to hold themselves in readiness for transfer to' any old place in the country. The official reason for the change in policy was that the com mission had now grown to such an ex tent that a permanent office force could be maintained here, and women would be available. But back of the decision to employ women as clerks lies an interesting story. It is that Uncle Sam can 't find comjietent male stenographers and tlerks. There are a dozen women who take the civil service examinations to every man. Government jobs may have a luscious sound to the average man, but most of them are becoming wise to the fact that while the jobs may be "easy" the opportunities for promotion to class A jobs are not easy. Not "Soft Snaps" Now. Also there !b a suspicion growing among clerks who have entered the service to find a "soft snap" that maybe their jobs are not as soft as they anticipated. Of course the hours are easy and the work nothing like as heavy as in private employ but efficiency ratings are now in force in nearly every department, and the clerks must stick tight on their jobs. Women play an important part in the government's work. There are thou sands employed in the treasury de partment alone. Women are far and " men in such work as counting than by farming. "The finest garden soil in the world is a sandy loam, usually not very good for gonoral farming, ' snid the expert recently in dscussing the question with a United Tress correspondent, "and land of this nature stretches all the way from New England to Texas. Transportation to market is the biggest I ment.pv in hftkerv.

Aftor experiments cover ing nearly three years, during which time more than a million fowls were fattened for the market the animal husbandry division of .'ho bureau of animal industry has arrived at these figures. The higher figure represents the cost of the fowl in July and this gradually becomes less until November. The experiments were conducted under the supervision of Alfred R. Lee whose aim was to discover the cheapest food for the commercial fattening of poultry. Every varioty of fattening was tried and three model rations were finally decided upon. No, 1 consists of three parts corn meal, two parts low grade wheat flour and one part shorts; No. 2 has three parts corn moal and two parts low grade wheat flour, and No. 3 has five parts corn meal, three parts low grade wheat flour, one part shorts and five per cent tallow. The same feeding value is secured in a ration of three parts corn meal and two parts oat flour but at an increased cost of 37 cents per hundred pounds of grain. Tallow makes tho fat on the birds moro pronounced but increases the cost of the grain in weight. Thick, con densed buttermilk in the place of tal low produces better results. The ad dition of beef scraps ta the buttermilk was tried but this did not increase tho gain. Unt was found to bo of no valuo in fattening for a period undor 15 days. Under commercial conditions in the middle west the best results are so cured by fattening about 14 days dur ing the summer. After the middle of September this period should be short ened gradually till tho fattening pro cess lasts only six or sevon days.
