THE HOME GARDEN.
A good deal of work is required to
keep the vegetable and flower gardens
ooking their best during the hat, d y
days of mid -summer. The cultivated
plants wilt and languish for want of a
drink, while the weeds continue to
thrive, and unless checked soon mobo-
lize the ground. Few farms have a
water supply that will furnish water to
the garden through a hose. To carry
sufficient water in pails is no light tesk
but from the appearance of the plants
many think that this must be done in
order to save them. Many fail to
realize that eultivatio is a means of
retaining moisture in the soil and of
forcing groath. Carrying water to the
garden is seldom necessary if the soil
is stirred frequently. Where a dust
mulch is obtained the soil is kept moist
to within about one inch of the surface
The hoe may prove more serviceable
than the watering can in the garden
during dry weather.
During haying and harvest it is dif-
ficult on many farms to find time to
devote to gardening, consequently,
weeds gain the upper hand and lessen
the winter supply of vegetables.
Important as is the grain crop the gar-
den should not be neglected. Vege-
tables have a money value as well as
oats and wheat, The land devoted to
gardening, if given half a chance, gives
greater returns than the same area
planted to, any other crop. The garden
also has value from a health standpoint,
A small plot of ground, email quantity
of seed, and a few hours' work during
the season will produce sufficient vege-
table for the average family during sum-
mer, fall and winter tended garden on
every farm, and an effort made tb
produce the best quality of a large
variety of vegetables.
Chinchillas, valuable fur -bearing
animals which inhabit high tnottntains
in Chili, have been imported into
England for breeeding experiments on
a farm.

VALUE OF SAVING
The opinions of William H. Osborn,
United States Commissioner of Inter-
national Revenue, on saving, are quote d
in the August American Magazine.
" 'Peo'ple get rich in two ways' he
says. "The minority through skill
and success in investments and trad-
ing; the majority through systerr.atic
saving of small sums. I know a man
who just before he was to be married
twenty years ago lost all he had, and,
went $11,0(0 in debt on a business
deal, He gave his intended bride a
chance to release herself.
" `I think you can get on your feet
again' she told hire. 'I ata willing to
take a chance.
" 'All right.' he said, 'get into the
boat with me.'
"And they were married.
"The bride got a cigar box and cut
a hole in the top of the lid. She
called it her 'furniture box,' and into
it went all the dimes and quarters
she didn't really need. Soon she had
enough to furnish a home.
"But she didn't quit saving. She
kept right on until she had $2,000.
With this she bought a piece of land,
which she later sold for $3,000. The
fund kept growing, and she kept mak-
ing more investments. Today she
has money and property in her own
name valued at upwards of $40,000.
"I know of many more cases just
like that. Its a law of business that
invariably succeeds.
"My advice to every young man is
to start a savings fund and put into
it a definite part of what he makes.
When the total runs over $500 or
more he should invest it in something
which brings more interest than he
can get from a savings bank, yet be
safe. If he keeps on in this way, he
will be independent when he gets old
enough to quit work.

STOP SOIL WASHING.
Winter Time Should Be Used in
Work to Avoid This Loss.
Brush and straw piles that will be
in the way during the farming season
should be hauled away and used to
stop soil washing. Every one has
seen enormous gullies cut in a single
season and years spent in trying to
undo the mischief, but few realize
t'iat sheet washing is gradually tak-
ing away the best surface soil of our
fields to such an extent that soil
washing is the greatest single source
of loss on many of our farms. The
Iess busy winter time should bo used
in active work to stop this loss and
in planning next season's field work
so that the fields will be planted and
cultivated across the slope or around
the hill, so that the rows will not
run straight down in such a way as to
furnish the steepest possible channel
for the run off from rains. Those
who have such winter cover crops at
rye to hold the soil in place are for.
tunate, but those who do not should
not flatter themselves that no wash.
ing is going on even in the winter
time when there is less rainfall.
Small gullies that have just started
in cornfields or wheatfields or even
in pastures and meadows may often
be stopped with a little straw. Even
cattle paths in pastures often deepen
so that they need such treatment. In
other places it is necessary to plan
to sow sorghum to stop washing, but
if the gullies are more than a foot
deep and two or three feet wide it is
usually better to use brush, concrete
dams, or the sewer system, which has
given good results under certain cir-
cumstances.
The brush dam gives better results
if straw is mixed with the brush to
help hold the dirt. Wherever the fall
is great enough to make the water
cut serio•isly it is likely to be neces•
sary to stake down the brush and
straw so that they will not be washed
away.
Por deep, narrow gullies concrete
dams from six to twelve inches thick
will give better results. Iron beds to
give weight must be used in re -en-
forcing the larger dams, but heavy
wires will do very well in the smaller
ones. The middle should always be
left lower than the edges, and the
supply way should be provided with
a concrete, stone, or brick apron at
the bottom of the gully to prevent the
falling water from cutting into tbe
soil and undermining the dam.
Adjustable Roof for Silo.
Silos always settle several feet and
unless refilled a few days after the
first filling will be only about three-
fourths full when ready to be fed
from. To overcome this trouble silo
roofs, tops, and covers have been de-
vised to allow the filling several feet
above the top, so that when settling
is all over the silo will be nearly full.
The roof shown here is adjustable.
Tie roof opens out to extend the silo
upward perpendicularly when being
filled. After settling, this roof can
be folded up to make a closed top
that sheds rain and keeps out snow.
Independently elevatable sections,
one of them having a cap attached,
are locked together.
Leaf Spot of Cucumbers.
The angular Ieaf spot of mourns
bers is a disease quite prevalent
throughout Eastern Canada. It was
reported as having been present the
past year in Ontario and Quebec.
The presence of the disease is indi-
cated by angular, dry, brown spots
on the foliage, which, by dropping
out or tearing, give the leaves a rag-.
ged appearance. Although the dig.
ease has been known for many years
in the field and has been conceded
to be of bacterial origin, heretofore
no organism has been named as its
cause. As a result of experiments
recently conducted by the plant
pathologists of the department of
agriculture, however, the germ caus-
ing the disease has been isolated and
identified.
It was found that the disease is
caused by a bacterial organism enter-
ing the leaf through minute orifiees
in the outer layer, wounds not being
necessary to permit infection. Young
steins fray become soft rotted or
crack open, but no direct connection
has been found between the leaf spot
and the soft rots of the fruit. A
heavy infestation, however, Often ma-
terially reduces the crop by destroy-
ing the aotive leaf surface of the
plants.
Purchase Good Seed.
Don't purchase the lowest Priced
teed. fn nine eases out of ten the
highest priced seed is by far the
cheapest, The seed doesn't Coat
much, after all, in trroportion to the
labor put on trlants, once they start.
A tnlI crop is important and possible
only with good Seed.
