what Swamp-Root "did for me. I" was
bothered with my ; back; tor over Wen
tv years and at times Y could hardly
get of bed. I read your- advertise

Tsed five bottles, and it has been five
years since I used it, and T have never
been bothered a day since I took the
last bottle of it. I am thoroughly
convinced that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp

jt to others suffering as I did.
My husband was troubled with kid?

your Swamp-Root and it cured him.
This was about five years ago.

Practical Suggestions; to City Oardea
ers'Who Would Convert Lots Into
Valuable Gardens.
S.M
The vacant-lot movement , has "gain-
ed a foothold in many American cities.
It is a good' movement for several
reasons: (l) It improves the appear
ance of a city and enhances the value
of its real estate; (2) It provides
healthful employment for young and
old; (3) It is a means of obtaining the
most -wholesome and nutritious food
for the home table. These three" con
siderations make the vacant-lot move
ment an important . proposition to
every town and city. - . .'.
Borne of the people who desire to
make gardens mayje discouraged be
cause of ' the ; impoverished condition
of the land- that is available. ' This:
however, should not be, a real barrier
because it is possible to Improve small
areas so that very good crops may be
grown. The most important factor in
making any soil good is the organic
matter which it contains. Soils, defi
cient in organic matter become hard
arid compact after ratnsi are difficult
to work, and fail to produce good
crops. The best material to apply to
the soil, whether it is sandy "or clayey
in character, is stable manure either ;
horse or cow manure is suitable for
gardening work. It is desirable, that
the manure be partially decayed for
such crops as -tomatoes, peppers, egg
plant, radishes,. beets, and carrots, be
cause fresh manure applied to these!
crops will cause an excessive leaf and
vine growth at the sacrifice of yields, i
For other vegetablesfi such as spinach, j
kale, lettuce and cabbage, the leaves
of wiich ; constitute' the edible parts,
fresh stable manure, may be used with
out any injurious, results. If a soil is
very much deficient in organic matter,
four inches of manure may be used' to
advantage. On the other hand, if the
soil is fairly productive, an application
of two inches of manure over the entire
surface should give satisfactory , re
sults. It should be spread evenly so
that there will be no uncovered spots.
Then, the land should be spaded or
plowed, thus mixing the manure with
the soil Some gardeners prefer to
apply part of the manure before plow
ing or spading and the balance after
the ground his been prepared This
results in mixing the manure more
thoroughly to the entire depth of. the
surface soil. Ordinarily, " the land
should be spaded or plowed to a depth
of six or eight, inches. It is not desir
able to turn up a large amount of
heavy sub-soil.- ' ; . . --
With areneral vacant-lot gardening
movement, it may be impossible for
everybody to get as much manure as
Js needed to grow the best crops. In
this case, commercial fertilizers may
be used to suppliment stable manure.
For most garden crops the commer
cial fertilizer should contain about
four per cent, of nitrogen and eight
per cent . of each of : the mineral ele-ments-potash
and phosphoric i acid.
If a mixed fertilizer can be bought that
carries a larger percentage, of, potash
and phosphoric add, no harm will. lie
done to the vegetables and it Is pos
sible that ithe yields will be larger be
cause of the increasel percentages of
the mineral elemenfaT Inlensr?e-gTWW-ers
often apply as much -as a ton f
fertilizer to an acre. -Half of -this
amount, however, is sufficient, iT con
siderable stable manure has been -applied.
Success in growing any crop depends
largely upon the thoroughness m pre
paring the soil. It rs much better to
harrow and rake the land until tt 1s
thoroughly fine than to attempt to pul
verize it by cultivation after the -crops
are planted. :
It is a mistake to -plant each vege
table in small patches. Long'strajglit
rows count for economy in small lots
as well as in big fields on the farm.
There is absolutely no ' reason -w"iy
lettuce, radishes, parsnips, and other
vegetables, should not be planted
rows running the ful length of the
lot. The rows of vegetables euch as
the ones just mentioned need not be
more than a foot apart. Other vege
tables, like cabbage, tomatoes, sweet
corn, potatoes, etc., should nave irom
three to four feet of space "between the
rows. It is possible to economize in
space by interplanting . with vegeta
bles which are harvested earlier thar.
those requiring more space. For ex
ample, it is often desirable to plant
'cabbage, lettuce and radishes tn the
iftillowing manner:
Early Cabbage (C), Lettuce CM arid
lladish.
C L. 9". C.I CLCLCLC IX3LC
... ... ... ... Badish..,
It "Li L. L LL . L L L
Radish.. ... ... ....
C L 3 L C L C L. C L, C
This is a thoroughly practical com
bination and counts for larger produc
tion on small areas. If the small, but
ton radishes are used, these will be
harvested In four weeks or less, the
lettuee will come out In about six
weeks, and then all the ground will be
given to the cabbage which will be
ready to harvest in July.
Another very good plan is the fol
lowing: "
'"Early Cabbage (C) and Beets (B).
C14" C C C C C C O
... Beets. . : ...
C C C C O C C C
The beets will be ready, somewhat
in advance of the cabbage. ' All sorts
of combinations - similar to thesa. may.
be used in the planting of vacant lot3.
' Some crops may be planted as early
r thA snrlnir as the ground can be
jprepared. In this list may te mciua-
ed , peas, radisnes, oeets, carrois, . tur
nips, parsnips, Swiss chard, spinach,,
kale, lettuce, onions, and potatoes. ,
Well-hardened plants of cabbage and
lettuce may be planted. any time after
the 10th of April. Sweet: corn should .
be planted in Pittsburgh about the 10th
of May. Celery may aiso oe piau
about the40ih of May. Seeds of ya-
the SOtbbf MaV; Whn ki-l'i
plant should not be set in the open
ground untU nearly the first of June.
In.maklng up the list of vegetables
SVi?fi5 'lfrt quiremets
of the family to be supplied should be
taken into account. vThe individual
preferences of the members' of the
family should be considered. If every
body is fond of sweet, corn, then, of
course, a large amount of this vege
table should, be planted.
, For those "who have not had exper
ience in gardening, the most common
and easily cultivated vegetables should
be relied upon and planted most large
ly. ; For example, in soils of average
fertility, . the v inexperienced grower
should be able to get good results from
planting of sweet corn, tomatoes, cab
bage, potatoes, peas and bush beans.
It ia also desirable to limit the num
ber: of varieties i planted. In other
words, there Is no necessity of plant
several varieties of each kind of vege
table. Inasmuch as the vegetables are
to.be used merely on the home table,
quality rather than ".quantity, should
be the purpose that is constantly kept
in mind. - - r; .
There should be thorough tillage
from the. time the plants appear until
It is impossible to run the hand culti
vator between the rows. - .
There is no reason why a number of
neighbors : could not go .together and
buy a wheel hoe and perhaps a; seed
drill. The wheel hoe is particularly
Important because it will make it pos
sible.for a person to accomplish; so
much more work in a given length of
time than can be done with an ordi
nary hand hoe. The seed drill is Mso
a great labor-saying device.
There should be no negligence in
cultivating the soil because this oper-.
ation conserves soil moisture, aerates,
the soil, and promotes a physical con
dition which is essential in making the
supply of food, in the soil , available to
the plants. Thorough, soil prepara
tion, even and uniform planting
straight rows, and clean tillage are the
factors which count for the maknig
of a good-looking garden;- and thor
ough tillage is also important in ob
taining high yields.
Timelines and thoroughness are ab
solutely essential in vegetable garden -Ing.

tonight that he would -not be a can

Tuean, said that he had nothing to say
as to his own attitude towards the
contest for governor that he has not
already eaid. .He declared that It is
present intention to be a candidate
to succeed himTelf in congress.
However, certain, very warm friends
of Mr. Page hope to see him enter
the race for governor, and they be
lieve that he can win the nomination
easily now that Mr. Mcfcean is- out of
the contest. , -
There are two avowed ' candidates
for goveraaox, T. W. Bickett and E. L.
Daughtridge. Several other men are
spoken of for the nomination, among
tluem -Secretary Xtaniels and A. J.
Kinnon. t
It has been rumored for the last
two or three weeks that Judge W. R.
Allen would be brought into the race.
Judge Allen said here sometime ago
that he is not a candidate and- does
jaot contemplate being.
