,V ma BUTTER BEANS, SNAPS, SQUASHES, CORN AND TOMATOES TILL FROST . THERE 13 NO EXCUSE FOR ANY FARMER NOTHING THEMGET READY KOWTO HAYE THE BEST GARDEN OF YOUR LIFE TIME IN 1908 IT WILL MEAN MORE HEALTH, MORE HAPPWESS-TSfHAT TO PLANT TL; home garden is too much neg lected everywhere by farmers, and the Southern farmer Is no exception. Except in the trucking sections of the coastal country one finds vegeta bles few on the tables of the fann ers. We have no objection to the Black Eye peas and sweet potatoes, and even collards, but in a climate where one can have a pleuUf.nl .sup ply of all sorts of vegetables there in no excuse for having only these and a few roasting ears from the com fields. Then in ,;oing through tho country In late- summer we find the gardens that were planted in the spring grown up in weeds and the dead corn stalks standing even in the village gardens. There is no excuse for this, for we can by a little forethought keep up a constant supply of the best vegeta bles. s Asparagus For Example. How few farmers have an asparagus bed! And yet there is no crop mpre easily grown. Make a piece of land very rich with manure worked in deeply and sow the seed in rows four feet apart and thin out to two feet apart, . and the very next spring you can cut some to eat, and if you keep the bed well manured every fall it will, in crease in product year after year. Do not bother about transplanting roots, for you can get asparagus quicker from the seed. Ami AVhy Not Have Simps, Jlutter Beans and Roasting Ears Till Frost? Sow now the first Valentine beans and as fast as a row is fairly up sow another, and so on till late August, and you will have snaps all summer till frost, riant some Adams Early corn, and as soon as it shows plant some Mammoth Sugar corn or Slow ell's Evergreen, and then save your own seed. Homegrown seed will al ways be best. Plant a succession of corn, too, till early August and have corn till frost. Plant Wood's Bush Lima beans, and keep the green pods well picked, for if they, are allowed to ripen they will stop blooming, but they will keep 1; wring if well picked. ,The tall Dreer's Lima beau is the best of the large Limas for the South, and is best grown by planting in rows and thinning to two feet apart and then using some chicken netting for them to run on and not bothering with poles. r ' Onions and Beets. Sow seed of Tail's. Queen onion very thickly to make sei:svfor planting in the fall to give you green onions "from February on. Sow the seed in narrow rows very thickly. A piece qf bed six by ten feet will hold oA pound of seed, for th? little drills may ba almost filled with the seed, the object being ftff-yge sets nn larger (ban a small rble. Sow Early Eclipsa beets and ' scatter' a few radish seed along the rows to mark them and to come out before the beets need thinning. The Blood turnip beets are sown at same time for later use. The half long beets can bo sown in July after some early crop is off. These will be fine all winter if the soil is thrown to the rows late in fall. Try Some Egg Plant, Parsnips and Salsify. Plant "White Spine cucum bers in well manured hills for table use now, and later in July plant move for pickles. Egg plants are tn little grown in the South. It is too late to sow the seed, but you can get plants cheaply-from the seedsmen and set them in May when the ground is warm, and then keep the potato bugs picked off them and you will have a dish that any one will appreciate. Sow parsnips and salsify in July. These make their best growth after the weather gets cool and will grow all winter. They are sown in the spring in the North "but in the South they are apt to get woody and run to seed in late summer if sown early. Salsify is commonly called oyster plant, and the boiled roots mashed up and made into fritters are very much like oysters. Then the salsify and parsnips giVc vegetables in win- Lions For the Pope. Emperor Menelik's present to the Pope of two fine African lion cubs, male and female, has arrived safely at Rome. The lions started from Addis Abeba in Ab3Tssinia on New Year's Day. Shortly after they reached the des ert region, on their way to Alexandria a lioness took up the trail behind the caravan. She followed it for more than a week, making repeated efforts at night to get through the lines of the soldiers to the captive animals, whose presence she was evidently aware o!. She only dropped the pur suit when Uie caravan got out of the de3C-rt and into the comparatively ihickV """ ."ii"w1 r'ons on the out skirts of Egypt. New York Sun. Here and There. A man should try to do his bset only when he is doing the right thing. Before subscribing to the statement that it is better to have the good will of a dog than the ill will, find out about the dog. ' The man insisted upon a receipt. The merchant said: "I've had so - T much trouble collecting this bill I I would never undertake It again." t.er and make a variety with the BJack Eyo peas and hominy. Watermelons nml Citntaloispco, of Course. Every farmer should have some cantaloupes and watermelons, but these aro better in a patch to themselves. Any old sandy hill will make watermelons if the hills are well manured, and the drier the land the more Juicy the melons, strange to say. Cantaloupes need stronger ground and well manured hill3 or rows. The Jones and the Mclver are the best watermelons for home use and the Kolb (Jem for shipping. For cantaloupes, plant Rocky Fordj and llackensack. Okra, Parsley and Pepper. Then for gumbo coup, plant a few okra seed. The White Velvet is the best. The green soft pods can be cut and dried and kept for making soup in winter. Everyhousekeeper likes to have some parsley for ' -essing dishes. Sow a row or two of the Green Double Curled .sort. Mint comes in "handy, even in prohibition places, for making mint sauce for lamb in spring. A few roots set in a damp, out of the way place will keep you a supply. Then the good woman of the house wants mango pickles in the fall, Sow a few seed of Ruby King pepper in bed and transplant to rows three feet apart later. If you like hot pepper sauce, sow some seed of-Tabasco pepper. These will grow six feet high and give a great crop of little pods, and they will make vin egar hotnough for a toper. Of course you sowed some garden peas in February, but if not, you can still sow some Premium Gem peas, and can again sow some in late Au gust for fall use. Be Sure to Have Tomatoes and Squash All Summer. Tomatoes every one wants. For very ealy ones you had better buy the plants unless you have some glass and a .hotbed or frame. But in the South it is neces sary to sow a late wop as the early ones are apt to play out' in the heat the last of June. Sow the seed in May and transplant after some early crop. Then in the late fall when the vines are full of green fruit and frost threatens, gather the tomatoes and wrap each in paper and pack in boxes and put in a cool place just where they will not freeze, and bring out a few at a time into a warm room where they will soon color up. I have had tomatoes to slice in this way till January. Summer squashes you will have, of course. The White Patty Pan is best. Radish and Sage. In September sow some Chinese Rose-Colored Win ter Radish seed, and as the weather gets cold mulch the rows with coarse manure and yon can pull nice rad ishes all winter, for 1 have done it winter after winter in Raleigh. , Then you will want some sage at hog-killing time for sausages. Sow some seed in a bed and transplant after some early crop a foot apart and you can cut it green to the ground in the fall, an I have enough for the neigh borhcod when dried in the shade. Then if any one wants the plants, sell them and sow seed again next spring, for the young plants are bet ter than the old bushes. . J.IaLe Your Garden Work All Year Round. In short, have a garden and keep it at work all the year round. Then if you will g?t a few hotbed sashes and make a frame for them you can have fresh headed lettuce to cat all winter, parsley and radishes and French -carrots A garden kept at work all the time and abundantly supplied with manure and fertilizers, and by having a good large garden you can supply the home market with nice vegetables and at least pay all the cost of what your family eats.' The garden kept at work and kept clean will not breed cut-worms, for they breed in the weeds and trash left in the common gardens in the country. W. F. Massey, in The Pro gressive Farmer. j In Desperate Mood. i "Why didn't you remember that it was Satan who tempted you into that scheme of graft?" "Because it wasn't," answered the man who was being investigated. "Sometimes I wish It had been an ex pert like Satan instead of the bun gling amateurs who got me into all this publicity." Washington Star. Workingmen's Homos. The city government of Milan has voted to appropriate $1,150,000 for the construction of further series of houses especially built for working men and their familie?, and the mu nicipal loan office (the city pawn de partment) will give $100,000 out of its profits toward the same purpose. Fallen By the Wayside. He who considers only the lettertff an instrument goes but skin deep in to the meaning. The success of the man who suc ceeds is usually due to the failure of others. There is nothing that makes the or dinary man feel better and be meaner than to give an order and bav it ob sepulously obeyed. SPRING KIDNEY THOITRLE. Vividly Described by One Who Has Suffered From It. Mrs. H.' Mutzabaughi of Duncan non. Pa., says: "I was sick and mis erable all last Spring, and as I did not know what was the matter, I kept going down and down until I was a physical wreck. I had smothering spells, flashes of heat , ever the kidneys, and pain in passing the kidney secretions, which con tained sediment. My husband urged me to try Doan's Kidney Pills, and at last I did so. They did me much, good, and I used in all eight boxes, which restored me to perfect health." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

Everybody realizes the necessity oJ Eome method of purification of sinks, drains and utensils in which may lurk the germ of a dreaded disease. Health is a question of cleanline23 and prevention. Most people are familiar with tho use of disinfectants in their ordinary sense all of which are unpleasantly associated with disagreeable odors, on which are depended to kill tha contagion (which disinfectants must of necessity be of a more or less dan gerous character) :md must be used for this purpose and for no other, and in consequence kept from children and careless handling. There is, however, within the reach of all our readers a simple, safe and economical article that will not only answer for every disinfecting purpose but can also be used for a multi tude of domestic cleansing and puri fying purposss Boax. Borax is a pure, whits harmless powder coming direct from Nature's laboratory; in fact Borax has often been called "Nature's Cleanser and Disinfectant." , i Two tablespoonfuls of Borax In a pailful of hot water poured do-yn tha grease-choked pipes of a sink, or flushed through a disease-laden drain, cleanses and purifhs it, leaving it clean and sweet. Bed clothing and clothes used in a sick room can be made hyglenlcally clean and snowy-white, if washed in a hot solution of Borax water. Kitchen and eating utensils, used during illness will be kept from all possibility of contagion if Borax is used when washing them. Pura as snow and harmless as salt, and be cause it can'be used for almost every domestic and meuical purpose, Borax must be considered the one great household necessity.
