Farmer Will Find It Profitable to De vote Small Patch of Land to Vege tables Location Should Be Near the Home. Prepared Ty tho United Slatos Depart ment of Agriculture.) If the value of the homo garden were to be estimated tn money alone It Is saTe to say that the returns from a small plot of land devoted to this purpose would be from eight to ten times greater than tho value of the cotton which could be raised on the sane area. Many southern farmers wfn refuse to believe this. It is, how ever, a fact that experts in agriculture have thoroughly demonstrated. For several years past, canning-club girls have made annual net profits of from twenty to fifty dollars on gardens only one-tnth of an acre in extent, and in Alabama this year products worth $7O0 were raised on seven-tenths of an acre. The usefulness of the gar den, however, cannot be measured in money alone, and no man can afford to Ignore 'the Important part that an ade quate uirpply of fresh vegetables plays tn preserving tho health of his ram Oy. It Is dhvious that when a man buys vegetables he ntit only pays for the cost of -production, but for tbe cost of 'transportation and marketing. He ostains, however, an inferior article. Many 'vegetables lose tbelr character istic 'flavor within a few hours, and none are eo'Iree from the danger of infection or so palatable as those blch are grown at home. In practice, however, it tte fanner does wit grow his own vegetables it means that tn a great majority of cases his family gets no vegetables at all. One Tesult of this Is a demand for tonics ant other medicines in the spring, for tt is a well-known fact that -vegetables and 'fruits furnish many Ingredients abso lmtely essential to human health. Where a "monotonous winter diet falls to supply these Ingredients, the hu man syfftem snffers and recourse is had to medicine. . For reasons both of health and money, therefore, the farmer will find ir l 'iMf I i Two Canning-C1ub Girls iMoelng Tomatoes. lt profitable devote to his home intervals oi ten days or two weeks, garden the email amount of land and the email amount of labor that it re quires. The amount ot land depends, of course, upon the size of the family. In a majority of cases, however, from one-fourth to one-hatf of an acre will be found -sufficient to produce an tde qtiate supply of vegetables throughout the entire year. Close attention must of course, be pais to ttie rotation and rsueceBHton of rops, the planting planned with forcshougat, and the cal tlvation done as carefully as that of any s ft eld crop. Wo specific arrange Dent can be laid down caat would suit all requirements, and each grower must devise ' plans to nteet his own conditions. Sn this he is strongly urged to seek the assistance which county agent, state agricultural ex perbnent stations, ad the federal de partment of agriculture cam give him There are, however, certain funda mental principles whVh aply eosally to all igardens. The garden should al Products From a Texas Garden. ways be located as close to the house as good ground can be secured. This means that the garden can be cared for at odd moments, when it would be neglected If it were at an Incon venient distance. The vegetables should be planted iu long rows in or- ilk -SL der to make cultivation with ordinary horse implements possible. A Blope tO tllf Kniltll T annlliootl la it -clrnl-ln brcnuse the ground warms easily in the spring and early planting is thua niade possible.

If all the Ground around the house is level and artificial drainage by open ditches or tne drains is not resorted to, planting should be done on ridges or beds to prevent the drowning of the crops dur- ine wet wpathPr iug ei w earner.

"You must wake and call me early. Call me early, mother, dear: Tomorrow will be the happiest time of all the glad New Year," Yes blue-eyed May is here again -wish this day comes to the young girls thoughts of white dresses, pretty ribbon sashes, dainty white parasols, green fields and picnics. Twelve long months have passed since the last May Day. How many dark cold days have we passed since then? The world looks today as if a cloud had never passed over her, as if a perpetual smile had been hers since the stars first sang together, as if the roses and lilies had always been playing over her fountains, in fact as if nature had always been en joying a hearty laugh, and we feel as if these glorious mornings would last forever, but we feel this way every May, and can hardly realize that May will pass, as everything else doe im its season, and on comes the next; month stepping slowly but surely, and we are traveling on all of us in the same ratio with old "Father Time." When I look out these mornings at the beautiful world coming out anew. I think every day the prettiest, and try to enjoy every one to the utmost, for mere existence is a pleasure in this glorious May time. But it will soon be gone, and before we know ife here come somber dark days when all nature seems to frown at us, the little birds that only a few months ago were balancing themselves for the final spring, are roaming the wild world over, experienced in all bird lore; and the tiny flowers that looked so shy and blushing, and dewey-eyed on May day, will be gone, and only the leaves remain of all that sweet- ss. And so the seasons come and go. only the people stop by the way. Some remember many, May days. others only a very few. "When the flowers come again, mother Beneath the warning light. You'll never see me more in the long gray fields at night." So let us enjoy the beautiful May time, gather the flowers, and wreathe them in garlands gay, look not tor right or left, but push steadily on gather the flowers of every May day enjoy their beauty, drink in their per fume, press steadily onward and up ward, mounting star by star till the highest pinnacle is reached, and we at last stand upon the "Delectable" Mountain of hope and promise, and gaze as did Dante hundreds of years ago, upon the promised land shown him by Beatrice.

TO AID THE SANITORIUMC j The Woman's Club, of Oxford, has started a movement callcxl "The Sani torium Equipment Fund," whereby every woman's club in the Stats may contribute, and thus give assistance to this worthy institution. The Ox ford club headed the list with a dona tion of $50.00, and they propose to be come sponsor for all donations from other clubs till every one in the State: has had an opportunity to contribute.. At present the Sanitorium is ever- whelmed with the cries of the tuber cular sick clamoring for admission and sometimes compelled to turn away applicants for admission on account of the "meager, yea, niggard equip ment." It is hoped that this fund be ing raised by the good women of the State will enable the Sanitorium to have more of the necessities and per haps a few of the comforts in which it is so lacking. JUDGE PEEBLES AIDS PERSE CUTED PICKANINNY In Superior court at Clinton last week, Leona Larkins, colored,, was convicted of cruelly beating and maimt ing a small negro boy that had" been given to her by his parents. That the woman had broken an arm and leg; of the child, besides leaving his back a mass of scars for life, was proven, and she was sentenced to nine var in the penitentiary. While the jury were out deliberat... ing, the Judge said that he considered the little colored boy, who is about seven years of age, the ..lost worthv cause of charity that had come under his observation and that he would con tribute ten dollars to a fund to send the child to a hospital to trv to re store him to health. The collection, headed by the Judge's ten dollars was quickly raised to $35.50. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA
