In the face of the present crisis caused by the scarcity of food it is absolutely necessary that eve ry family have a vegetable gar den, For from this source the table may be sapplied with fresh and wholesome food almost every day in the year. The garden should be well drained and if possible should slope to the east. The seed bed shouldlbe deep and thoroughly prepared and barn yard manure should be applied and w r ell worked into the soil by cultivation. This preparation should be done in the fall, it is still not too late to apply the ma nure if it was not applied last fall. Acid phosphate and wood ashes should be applied liberally and worked into the soil. The acid will encourage fruiting and hasten maturity; the ashes will furnish potash to make the plant healthy and the vegetable sound. Where practical the garden should be laid off in long straight rows or beds, which will enable a greater part of the work to be done with horse cultivator. The surface should be kept fine by frequent cultivation with rake or shallow running cultivator. Af ter each rain during the growing season, as soon as the surface becomes dry enough, the entire garden should be gone over with a fine tooth rake to admit the air and prevent the moisture from evaporating. This cultivation should not be more than one inch deep. But after the ground be comes dry enough it may be cul tivated one and a half or two inches, but never cultivate any deeper. As one crop is consumed fol low with such vegetables as de sired and the garden will supply you with vegetables all the year The surplus may be canned, pickled or preserved for winter use or market. One quarter of an acre would be sufficiently large to supply the ordinary family and add more to the health and comfort of the family and reduce the cost of living more than any acre in staple crops on the farm. Yours for home supplies, S. J. SMITH. County Agent. ROUTE 1. (Route 1 has been changed to 2) Sunday was a real spring day, altho there was some frost early Sunday morning.

LOOKING AHEAD. In little things we must look ahead and think of the fu ture. Perhaps the little deed of kindness, the loving word, the sweet smile, or the wrong act, idle word or angry frown may not effect our lives nor the lives of any one else today. Let us not only think of the present, but looking into the hereafter, see what the influence will be there. It is in more subtle, and so to speak, higher atlairs than these that the wisdom of looking ahead asserts itself. When Esau, coming in weary and spent from the hunting field, sold to crafty Jacob, for a mess of pottage, the birth right which belonged to the elder brother, he simply did what hosts of men have been doing ever since. lie did not Iook: ahead hut acted on the moment’s impulse. For a tempora ry pleasure, an apparent present advantage, he bartered his heaven bestowed right to dignity, consideration and man hood. And yet todav, many of us, to gratify ourselves for the present, indulge in some pleasure which perhaps maybe our ruin. It is done without thought for the future. It is a line thing to stand in the midst of busy belts and whirling pulleys, with the knowledge of heir governing law's in your brain, and the quick control of them in your right hand ; but it is finer and grander to stand where any mother may stand, it she will, ‘ among the living spirits which are to dominate the wheels; nondering the laws of human agency, directing the development of human activity, bearing the supreme weight of human responsibility ; doing it-all in utter unconsciousness of self or of sacrifice, strong in the won idrgus love which alone of earthly emollients is all persuasive ‘and all- powerful against the grind and wear and worry of the vfrorld. * ?*A lova ofjgiome apd homo, life should be p 1 arttedie girl and boy, and there is no way so sure of givi'rij* tftiS les son than in making the home attractive and pleasant. Now, to make it attractive is not for the mother to do all the rough work and the daughter to do the trimming, but it is to have your boys and girls share the cares, experience and labors of the home. Teach them every detail, give them a person al interest. Lay a foundation early, for it will be slow work, requiring patience through oft multiplied failures. Parents, we would say to you when God has blessed you with good girls, appreciate them. Today is the time to do it while they are hovered beneath your wings. Da not wait till they are gone, perhaps forever, from the home nest. [lt you love them, let them know it. If you have an interest in their welfare, let them know it. If your girls are ambitious and want to gain for themselves a position in life, help them, for it is your duty to do so. If your girls want an education, give them all the chance that lies in your power to acquire one. Melancholy cannot hold its own with perennial good na ture. Sunshine is contagious. Smiles are epidemic. One joyous nature will fill an auditorium with good cheer. Des pondency is a poor debator. It can bring no argument that sunbeams will not penetrate. ■■- ■ ■ ■■■ .1- ■ ■- 1 F-8.-W— ..■■■■-•■l—-. L-- .■- T~- - * Among all elevating influences, that of a happy home is the most permanent. Every clean home is an influence for good in the community. Every ideal home must possess beauty as well as cleanliness and kindliness. Every happy hoa o should shed its refining influences abroad. Every good home is an educator and adds immeasurably to the sum of human happiness. Every home should be a faithful guar dian of public morality, the surest safeguard of the public’s future. Homes are training schools for citizens, and only as they teach patriotism in the fullest sense of the word are they do ing their duty by the country in unstinted measure. The family table is the family rallying place, and it is well, there fore, that meals should neither be taken in silence, nor oc cupied with frivolous gossip ; they afford the parent and the children a meeting ground where they may come into close sympathy, and where they may receive stores of knowledge while the bodily needs are attended to.
