I was talking to an expert gardener on the train this week and he gave me some ideas about gardening in barrels and boxes which I think will be helpful to city folk who have little or no garden space. We can raise potatoes, onions, tomatoes, celery. egg plants, etc., in boxes. He says you can plant and grow Trish and sweet notatoes in barrels and make more than you can in your gardens. His plan is simple, inexpensive, reasonable and I believe it will work. I saw a gentleman today who lives on South Church street and he says he grows Irish potatoes in barrels and you can grow one and a half bushels in a flour barrel. Take a barrel and cut air holes around the barrel about one to two inches in diameter; put six or eight inches' rich dirt in the barrel and plant the potatoes about four inches apart until you have covered the entire space in the bottom of the barrel. When the plant gets up about four inches put more dirt in the barrel. Do not cover the bud. As the plant continues to grow forllow with dirt, fertilizing in the meantime, until the plant grows out of the top of the barrel. Potatoes require a lot of water and you water the plants as needed. The plants will Anally grow out of the top of the barrel and bloom and be an ornament in your back yard' r?. j i. Ml # J 1_ - .11 av . rota toes win iorm ana mane an me way up the vine and fill the barrel. Sweet potatoes can be grown in the same way. I do not know whether they will keep through the winter in the barrels or not, but if they will we could roll them under the house and have our crop harvested with little trouble and have potatoes banked for the winter. This sounds good, doesn't it? Take a cracker box, or any kind of box, and fill it with rich dirt and sink an ordinary flower pot in the center of the box. Cork up the hole in the bottom of the pot. Plant the seed all around the pot After the plants are up and take root, fill the pot with water and keep it full. The water will seep through the pot and supply moisture to the roots of the plants and you will have cucumbers all summer, and grow more than an ordinary family will use. This man says you can grow more onions in a wooden trough eight inches deep and ten feet long than you can from several rows in a garden. Plant them close together and use very rich dirt and you will be surprised how many onions you can grow. Tomatoes, celery and eggplants can be planted and grown in pots and nail kegs and grown to perfection. : This plan appeals to me as I have no garden spot, but can grow them in my front and back yards. You can easily cultivate and water your crop and save expense of plowing and digging in your garden. The only tool necessary is a small trowel or table fork'and you will have no grass to contend with. NEW JERSEY EXPERIENCE WITH GUARD RAILS *? A phase of road building in northern New Jersey which has occasioned no little trouble arises from the needier 3 erection of guard rails. In many places a slightly greater expenditure would have produced much better results, for b yincreasing a cut at the top of a hill or on the inside of a curve and using the excavated material to widen the fill where guard rails were erected, the lftttpr TTAlllH Ko nnnortoaoow Qn/iV rails should be used wherever required, but too often they encroach upon and narrow the roadway. Guard watched, will set the posts within watched, will setthe posts within rather than beyond the required line, which is usually at least 16 feet from the center of the road in that part of the state. From One Source Only Did Scott Receive Aid WIFE SAYS AFTER MANY DISAPPOINTMENTS, HE HAS MET SUCCESS. "The only medicine that ever helped: my husband is Tanlac, and when he began taking it he had been in bad health for about twenty-five years and had been doctoring himself all the time," said Mrs. M. S. Scott, of 204 Church St, Sampson, Geenville, in a statement she gave March 22nd. "My husband suffered from kidney, liver and stomach trou Die, and ne had spells of stomach trouble so painful that he would almost go wild, and he had headaches so bad he could hardly stand them. His kidney trouble was very bad and his whole system was out of order and weakened. "These spells of stomach trouble started like an attack of colic and the pain spread over his back and hips. He had spells of kidney colic, too, the doctors told him. "Mr. Scott took six bottles of Tanlac, taking the last about eight months ago. He doesn't have those spells now, and he has had only one since he started taking Talnac and that was the lightest he ever had since they became severe. He doesn't suffer with indigestion now, either, and the Tanlac gave him a great nnnofifii TTo nran rolipvoH nf fhnsp Mrrwv.vw. "V tfMW terrible headaches which used to almost drive him crazy. He will tell anybody that Tanlac did him as much good as all the other medicines he took put .together." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold exclusively by P. B. Speed, Abbeville; A. S. Cade, Bordeaux; J. T. Black, Calhoun Falls; J. H. Bell & Sons, Due West; Cooley & Speer, Lowndesville; R. M. Fuller & Co., McCormick; J. W. Morrah & Son, Mount Carmel; Covin & LeRoy, Willington.

We have never advocated the entire elimination 01 cotton, DUt as a supplement to it, corn, beans and hogs are probably more promising than anything yet found. In fact, we believe, if the Iowa corn and hog farmer could add velvet beans to his combination his lands would be worth $300 to $400 an acre, instead of $150 to $200, as they now are. Last year at the South Mississippi Experiment Station velvet beans, despite a severe July storm and excessive rains, produced from 2,500 to 3,000 pounds per acre of beans in the hull. It is certainly safe to say that an acre of land that will grow 15 bushels of corn will, at the same time, make 2,000 pounds per acre of beans. These beans, in the hull have a feeding value only 10 per cent less than corn, so the ton of beans is equal to 1,800 pounds of corn, or 32 bushels. This added to the 15 bushels of corn made on the acre, gives us a total yield of feed like this means a low cost, and esEecially is this the case where the ogs harvest the crop, which they should by all means do. Another consideration that should not be lost sight of is the fact that the^ bean vines aaa a very consiaeraDie amount of nitrogen and humus to the soil. \ With eight or ten brood' sows, forty or fifty acreB in corn and beans a permanent phsture of Bermuda grass, bur and white clover, and a succession of grazing crops for the spring and summer, the farmer in the lower South has an excellent supplement to his cotton crop. In fact, he may make it a substitute instead of a supplement, thus whipping the boll weevil by starving him. Hogs and beans are putting many boll weevil-ridden sections on their feet again, and we commend the combination to our readers.?Progressive Farmer. ROAD PUBLICITY The necessary red tape of the nation's business methods is sometimes said to suppress the activity and initiative which, in private enterprises, finds expression in forceful publicity. But it has remained for the United States to undertake a form of publicity that is much needed and can be carried on by state highway Henartmenta with verv little trouble and expense, to the advantage of many users of roads. This innovation by the government takes the form of furnishing weekly to newspapers, hotels and other distributors of information in California of a ij Straw 1 c i luUVY *J. I ij A sh !; timei |j ' of tl price l! kfe ij mm i| The ! I* statement of the condition of the roads in the 20 National Forests in that state. They have an area f 19,600,000 acres and contain about 8,600 miles of roads and 9,500 miles of trails They form the recreation and vacation grounds of a large number of Californians, and as f.hpv nrp rpn/?VipH nnlv hv rnads the corfdition of the latter is of interest to many persons This is also true of many states which do not have such large playgrounds, where the recreation of a considerable part of the people is obtained by short trips over the roads radiating from their homes. These trips are often made disagreeable instead of pleasant by unexpectedly' bad foad conditions, known to the state road authorities but not to the public generally. If the authorities were to send weekly to the newspapers a brief statement of the roads which are in poor condition and of the opening of new good roads, the information would be of service to those who find rest and recreation in driving over the neighborhood highways.

It is an interesting sight to see f|| bear down upon a ship as it approaches the shore, says the Wash- , .: ington Star, and as soon as it comfa f to anchor a rough ladder is placed ' hphronn tVm veagsl nnH tho fArAmodt jj barge. On each rung a girl takes JM her place. To the sound of mo- J notonous chant, men in the barge quickly shovel the coal into shal- low baskets that hold half a bushel each, and the women pass the bas~ .>! kets from hand to hand up the liv= ing ladder with marvelous celerity* $ Each girl as she seizes a basket '."3 swings it with one motion up in front of her and above her head, where the next girl catches it and passes it on. *'. Down a second ladder, likewise ::/M packed with girls, the empty baskets pass in similar manner back to /. I the barge to be refilled. Barge af- * -3 ter barge is emptied in this way. The monotonous chanting never ceases, and the living elevator goes ."J on hour after hour, with never ending stream of baskets, until the last 1 bunker is full, when the ladders disappear as if by magic, and the ship proceeds on her voyage?Youth's ^ Companion Ice CreamOrder Our pure ICE CREAM and real fruit flavors make the refreshments | that you get at our sonitary fountain really rr||| _ k nourishing food. 7/jp STOP IN HERE mf and get a thirst-quencher; then take a pail of V good cream home to the J mp family; or leave your WS order.
