better garden by maklnt; tlie uwrt In-
telllgent ow of tlie avulliiMc splice,
,not only by employing better methods,
but by planting seeds of Hie highest
quality. The first cost of seeds Is
comparatively small, hut It 1 very lm
portent that the seeds planted should
" be the very best obtainable.
h Gardeners are advised to secure the
'catalogues of reliable seed tlnns and
Bpewl a little time in jrolnif over and
checking up the seeds that will he
if needed for planting.
Do not be misled by the highly
ISA colored and mnch-fldvortised novelties,

Z and proved varieties, advise the spe
wi clalists. Good seeds should never be
wasted, so figure carefully upon the

early before the best Rtoeks ure ex-

are received, unpack and cheek them
m j; to see that no part of the order has

?r ln a mouseproof, ventilated container,
psuch as a . perforated tin box. They
should be kept in a moderate tempera
ture, and where they will not freeze
or be exposed to moisture. 1
Have Early Vegetables.
Half the pleasure ami profit of a
--garden Is derived from having some-
thing to use Just as euriy In the spring
'as possible. In many cities and towns
the local greenhouse men grow thou-
sands of plants . which are sold to
liome gardeners at reasonable prices.
Si It often happens, however, that home
w gardeners do not .have the opportunity
y?to purchase well-grown plants, and
liiuV strt their own supply of early
plants In the house or in a hotbed If
jthey desire to hare their crops mature
early. Among the garden crops that
-'may be started to advantage In this
i. manner are tomatoes, early cabbage,
peppers, eggplant and lettuce; even
cucumbers, melons, beets, snap beans,
;3lina beans and sweet corn may be
started indoors by using flower pots,
fpaper bands, or berrf Csxe3 to hold
ithe soU. ,

shallow pit H to IS inches (Iceji. ac
cording to locality, and pari; it full
of femiwillng stable manure. The
manure. In-lore beiiiK place in I lie pit
should be runted over once or twice
In a pile hi order to Insure even in-;it-inn.
It may then be packed Into llie;
hotbed pit and tramped uniformly.
Standard bathed sashes are .'t lei-t
wide anil (! feet long, and the d:n- "f
the bed should be made to suit the I
number of sashes emplojed. A frame
work of boards IS to i'( inches bili
at the back und about Y2 Inches lik'h
In front is placed over the nianure
fllled pit to support the sash.
Use for Thermometer.
About .'t or 4 inches of tine garden
loam is spread evenly over the manure
and the bed alloweil to stand four or
five days to wnnn up before any seed
Is sown. At first the temperature of
the bed may run rather hi;.'h. and It
is Itest to delay planting the seeds in
If until It begins to decline. This can
best be determined hy plant im: a ther
mometer with the bulb about tirce
Inches below the surface of the Soil. :
The temperature should fall lu low 8.r -
degrees before seeds are planted.
If glnss-filled sashes are not avail
able for covering the hotbed, heavy ;
muslin may be used Instead : the glass, ;
however, makes the most dedrahle
form of covering. Care must be taken
to give the bed sufficient ventilation to
prevent overheating, as It Is liable to
heat up very rapidly when the sun
shines full upon the glass. Watering
should be done during the early part I
of the day and the bed given enough
air so that tlie plants will dry off be
fore night. The bed should be closed ;
before evening. In order to conserve ,
enough heat to carry It through the
night in good condition. If the weath
er should turn severely cold, a cov- 1
eiing of straw, blnnkets'or canvas ;
may be thrown over the bed to pro
tect It.
Coldframe Construction.
A eoldframe Is constructed in exact-1
ly the same manner as a hotbed, with
the exception that no manure is placed i
beneath It to supply heat.
Before the plants are set in the gar ;
den, either from the hoi bed or the'
eoldframe, they should be gradually
hardened to outside conditions by giv
Ing them more ventilation each day. i
Finally, remove the sashes entirely on i
bright days and replace them during
the nights. The aim should be to
produce strong, healthy plants that
will make a quick start when placed I '
in the garden. '
;, PRUNING WILL GET RESULTS TO HAVE AN INDOOR GARDEN
.jFruit Trees, Vines and Bushes, as
i Well as Flowering Shrubbery
Require Trimming.
!
U Fruit trees, fruit vines and hushes,
fas .well us flowering bushes, require
'careful pruning to get the best result
fruit and flowers. j
& There Is some difference of opinion'
fas to whether the pruning should be j
(done in the fall or in the early sprlijg. ;
lUespIte the argument as to the time, j
the pruning Is absolutely necessary If
'Crops are to be the best possible un-
ider weather, soil or other conditions !
Jhat may prevail in any particular h- '
cality.
In pruning fru!t er flowering trees '
and vines it Is well for the one who
wields the pruning knife to know just ;
bow to do the work. One not ac
quainted with the opera lion would
beet post up on the task before one
seriously wounds the trees or vines. :
It Is not a difficult task, but one that !
""Is as necessary each year as cultiva
tion for crops can.-.ot be expected tin
let e projier attention is given.
Make Your Basement Work for You
by Producing Vegetables Before
Outdoor Planting Time.
Nearly every ectisge, as well as the
larger houses and the city bungalows,
are equipped with large basements.
Many of these basements have space
that is not utUized and many of them
have excellent southern and eastern
exposures whereby the sun has a
chance to play through the wimhms a
large portion of the day.

THIS is the way American food
for starving Russians is delivered
in certain sections of the famine
Stricken country.
The picture was taken upon the
arrival of the first American kclicf
Adminict ration transport at Ster'.ccta
riak, capital of the Bashkir Kcpii'iiu-.
The sled train is laden with food,
drawn many miles from the ncaic.-t
railroad station, to he distributed

the ARA feeding stations established
there.

which this relief party 'met upon
arrival at Stcrleetamak. The hungry
inhabitants were in desperate straits,
as they are pretty much throughout the

ican food was a Cmd-send. Children

ways and means to leave, had to await
the arrival of food provided through
the generosity of the American people.
The work of relieving the situation
due to the shortage of food is being
conducted by the ARA with despatch.
The delivery of many food pack--"e;,
sent through the Hoover Food
' 'cmittance system by relatives and

u :atio:i somewhat. Many additional
however, are in need of food.

the famine zone are without sufficient
clothing to protect them against the

Yet this is what many peo

tea and coffee contain caffeine,
a substance that is sometimes
very injurious. Many doctors
say that caffeine raises the blood

that it is especially bad for
