UTILIZING THE B?CK YARD
Ingenuity Must Be Displayed in Lay
lng Out the Small Space That
Is Available.
The problem of combining some
semblance of design with the uses to
which the average city back yard is
put is a difficult one. Take a trip on
the elevated in summer and consider
the acres of waste land and the count
less wasted opportunities in those sad,
hot, dusty back yards. Think of the
tons of delicious vrgetables they
might have raised, the lovely flowers.
Gracious; let's not think of it any
more-let's get out our seed cata
logues and pencil and paper and plan
to have our back yard an oasis this
summer.
Here are suggestions for the plant
ing of very small yards. The design
shows a garden 25x60 feet of lawn,
shrubs and flowers, the whole com
pletely hidden from the street by the
heavy planting In the northwest cor
ner.
The yard is 37%x60 feet and has a
small cold frame at right.
In the cold frame can be raised the
twenty-four tomato plants that later
go against the north fence; the ear
liest crops of lettuce, radishes and
onions and the first planting of sweet
corn and cucumbers.
The six dwarf fruit trees, the clump
of shrubs at the end of the grass walk
and the bench make an attractive out
look from the back porch.
A delightful flower and vegetable
garden can be achieved in a planting
space 30x60 feet by dividing them
with a pergola. Suppose there ls a
long walk down the middle of the
cucum b?.T"a

yard. It will seem less long because
of the little rustic pergola dividing
flower from vegetable garden.*
Grass surrounded by flowers and
shrubs would be employed to make
tie little flower garden in front of
the pergola restful and beautiful-an
outdoor room of great charm.
The pergola itself should have grape
Tines trained over it.
Behind it would come the biggest
outdoor workshop imaginable, the veg
etable garden.
At the right an asparagus bed-if
the bed is properly cultivated and fer
tilized. Peppers, eggplant or cauli
flower can be grown between the rows
ol' asparagus.
Against the fence would be two
rews of tomatoes (even in a small
gzirden one must grow many of them,
they are so satisfactory), lettuce, rad
ishes and onions, six hills of rhubarb
and the cold frame.
At the left, Swiss chard, beans,
three hills of cucumbers, and sweet
corn-a quarter of the garden In sweet
corn, the most delicious vegetable in
the garden.
Protecting Trees on Highways.
A movement for a law prohibiting
the nailing of advertising signs on
trees on the public roads of Rhode
Island, Inaugurated by the National
"Highways Protective society, is deserv
ing of encouragement. Trees are val
uable property. Nails and spikes
driven into their trunks invite decay,
and the signs, besides being offensive
to the eye, afford refuge for insect
pests. The state law proposed has the
merit of protecting the trees from in
jury and of making the roads more at
tractive. In five states laws against
this kind of outdoor advertising are In
force, and it is stated that the restric
tions meet with general approval.

Plants 56 Miles of Roses. 1
Fifty-six miles of roses were added
to the beauties of Portland, Ore., with <
the planting recently of 100,000 bushes. ?
They have been purchased as a result <
of the campaign started by the City- 1
beautiful committee of the Rose Fes- 1
tival association, the purpose being to ]
snake the city more than usually at- ]
tractive in preparation for the coming j
of visitors on their way to and from
the exposition at San Francisco.
Many roses worth one dollar w?re
sold by the committee through the co
operation of florists at 12t? cents each
The br shes sold are large enough to
bloom in time for the rose festival
next June.
SHEEP KILL HARMFUL WEEDS
Generally Agreed Animals Eat All But
Few of the Exceptionally Un*
palatable Varieties.
(By E. L. SHAW.)
It has been" estimated that sheep
will eat 90 per cent of all troublesome
weeds. They are, In fact, commonly
used in cleaning up weeds from fields
fence rows, road sides, stubble fields,
and corn fields. The common belief
among farmers is that weeds' eaten
by sheep are so broken up in the
digestive processes that the seeds will
not germinate after parsing through
the body as in the case of other live
stock. However, weeds are rarely
permitted to go to seed If enough
. sheep are turned in the field while
the weeds are young and tender.
In some investigations carried on by
the Canadian government among . a
considerable number of sheepmen to
determine the kinds of weeds eaten by
sheep, It was generally . agreed that
sheep would consume all but a few
exceptionally unpalatable ones, such
as mullein, Scotch thistle, etc.
Where sheep have been kept, but
where for some reason they have been
disposed of, a striking difference has
usually occurred- In the appearance of
the farm- Weeds have sprung up and
grown where they had formerly been
kept in check. There is no better so
lution to the weed problem than a
flock of sheep.
In economy of production sheep are
not surpassed by any other domestic
animal. Besides converting waste
products into nutritious food they will
also manufacture a finished product
out of the roughage and grain of the
farm at least ?s cheaply as other
classes of live stock.
GOOD POINTS OF SHROPSHIRE
Ewes Are Excellent Mothers, Are Gen
tle and Easily Handled-Lamb ls
Favorite In Market.
Mr. Herbert E. Powell, Ionia, Mich.,
in a letter to Farm Home gives the
following reasons for his preference
for the Shropshire breed of sheep.
1. The Shropshire ewes are good
mothers under adverse conditions and
make friends of their keepers.
2. The Shropshires are the leading
attractions at the fairs in the sheep
department both as to numbers and
nice fitting. The Shropshire when
properly cared for makes a fine pic
ture and is a work of art either in pas
ture or the show ring. ?'
3. The Shropshire is gentle, easily
handled and a pet with the man fit to
care for sheep, and a great contrast
to the wild Merino. \
4. The Shropshire lamb is the lead-j
lng favorite in the market, and sells to'
the best advantage as soon as it is j
large enough to dress well. The big-;
ger the lambs the better they sell, j
provided they were well fatted. The'
Imported Shropshires or? Pasture.
Shropshire lamb not only grows large,
but gets ripe easily, and the carcass
makes a fine appearance when ready
for the market.
5. The percentage of lambs to a
given number of ewes ls much larger
with the Shropshire than with other
mutton breeds. The Shropshire out
numbers all the other mutton breeds
combined, and is the all around favor
ite breed of sheep.
Wherever you show Shropshires you
are sure to find a large class and hot
competition. The larger and better
the show, the more honor there is in
the winning.
Remedy for Scratches.
When scratches develop, wash and
dry the leg perfectly, and then do not
wash again, but every three days sat
urate the skin of the affected parts
with a mixture of half an ounce of
coal-tar dip, four ounces of flowers of
sulphur and one pint of sweet oil or
cottonseed oil. Work or abundantly
exercise the horse every day. Do not
clip the legs. See that the stable is
kept clean and well ventilated. Feed
horse lightly and keep his bowels ac
tive.
Keep the Little Pigs In.
Do not educate the little pigs to be
fence crawlers and breakers by hav
ing a fence they can get through if
they try. Fix all the fences in good
Bhape before the pigs are old enough
to get the habit.
A Good Household Salve.
Ordinary ailments and injuries
are not of themselves serious, but
infection or low vitality may make
them dangerous. Don't neglect a
cut, sore, bruise or hurt because it's
small. Blood Poison has resulted
from a pin-prick or scratch. For
all such ailments Bucklen's Arnica
Salve is excellent. It protects and
heals the hurt; is antiseptic, kills
infection and prevents dangerous
complications. Good for all Skiu
Blemishes, Pimples, Salt Rheum,
Eczema. Get an original 2-ounce
25c box from your Druggist.-2.

Nervous?
Mrs. Walter Vincent,
of Pleasant Hill, N. C.,
writes: "For three sum

Cardui, the woman's
tonic, relieved me entire

person, now."

Cardui
The Woman's Tonie
for over 50 yean,
Cardui has been helping
to relieve women's un
necessary pains and
building weak women np

It will do the same for
you, if given a fair trial.
So, don't wait, but begin
taking Cardui today, for
its use cannot harm you,
