size in less than an hour.
What this means in dollars and cents is easily illustrated. The
average person milks about 8 cows in an hour, by hand. Figur-
ing wages and board at 25 cents an hour, handmilking one cow
costs about 3 cents or 75 cents for the entire herd. Twice a
day for 385 days means a wage expense of $547,50.
.At 25 cents an hour the labor cost per cow with 'the Macartney

There is an account to be kept with

It is so easy to waste the precious

That best advantage is not -;o be. This

Try Some of These Vegetables.
Every gardener should try out
some new vegetables eaeh year along
with the regular crops of standard
sorts.
Among the older vegetables which
should be given aetrial'is: Swiss chard,
which gives quantities of succulent
leaves for greens from spring until
fall. Another useful plant for greens
in the fall is kale, which stands much
cold without injury. Eggplant is a
fine vegetable, but it is not widely
grown because of its delicate consti-
tution. It does well, however, if good
-plants of the right variety are set in
rich ground, and the potato bugs or
other insects are picked off:. .
Salsify and winter radishes are
root crops .411.1ble for .linter use. `
The former vege'f�,able has a distinct
oyster, liltp-:flavor, and the latter is
used as fresh finger radishes or is
cooked Iike turnips,
Beds of parsley, as well as mint,
thyme and other herbs which are so
useful for fliavoring purposes are not
found - lin many gardens, - although
rthese' plants renew themselves from
;;year to year without replanting.
Red cabbage'; although it .is hand•
some, of extra quality, and sells for tAL
twice as much as ordinary cabbage,
is seldom seen,
All of these useful vegetables are.;
being neglected by the gardener. Of
.course, most atbention should be •
given 'eo crops that are already known
and liked, but every gardener should
try something new each season. He
will probably find something valu-
able.
