"A very emfcenet system of wns less telegrap~hy exlsts In every lhos, pital," said the nurse. "Apparently all patients have the ,knack of trans. nmittinig messages, otherwise the news of serious eases would not travel so qulckly and accurately from ward to ward. It is contrary to the rules for hospital, attendants to retail gossip, and most of them do cheerve strict secrecy, yet notwithstanding that pre caution there is never an interesting ease in the building whoso history is not known and discussed in the re motest corner. "Last week a boy buffering from a peculiar kind of throat trouble was brougitt into a first floor ward. The doctors were very much interested in the ease, yet they took special pains never to mention it in the hearidg of another patient. But for all the good their caution did they might as well have lectured on the ease in every ward; for when the boy died men and women all about the hospital said to the nlurses: "'So that poor boy died, did he? '. giuess there wasn't mud' hope for hitm from the start.' "Now, how did the news travel?" Don flail to see the bargains in our basement. J. C. -Burns & 'Co. Big De pagtment Store, 210 W.

DITERSIFICATION ON SOUTHERN FARMS Farmer Should Have Garden for Produotion of Vegetables. NECESSARY TO HAVE HOTBED Suitable Contrivance May Be Con structed Cheaply by Digging Hole Two Feet Deep and Lining In side With Boards. (By G. H. ALFORD.) ,,fvery farmer should have a good home garden. The sole object of this garden should be the production of vegetables for family use, and thereby materially reduce the grocery bill. If more is produced than is required in the home for use in the fresh, state, and for canning, the surplus can be easily sold to the neighbors or near by grocery stores. To properly and successfully run a garden it is practically a necessity to possess a hotbed. This may be con structed cheaply by digging a hole 18 inches or two feet deep, 6 by 12 feet, lining the inside of this with boards, and running the north side ten inches above the ground and the south side only four. This gives a slant towards the south, furnishing protection from the north. About a foot of fairly good horse manure should be allowed to ferment and be pl-ted in this bed, arrangements bein& made to secure drainage at the bottom. Over the manure from four to six inches of good garden soil should be put, and the bed may be covered with canvas or glass as desired. In this the cab bage and the tomato and the like plants may be raised for setting in the garden. 'After the heat is gone from the bed it becomes a cold frame and may be used at odd times for the growing of radishes, lettuce and other crops which do not need bottom heat. The garden itself should be well plowed early in the spring and have as much manure as possible turned under. Such crops as peas, cabbage, beets, onions and other cold resistant plants should be planted as soon as possible. When all danger from late frosts is ovgr, tomatoes, peppers, egg plant, and so forth, can be set out; beans, okra and all frost-tender plants should also then be planted. For the smaller growing types, such as tur nips, carrots, lettuce, spinach and like plants the rows need not be more than a foot or 18 inches apart. For cab bage, collards and so forth, the rows should be two feet apart and the plants two feet in the rows. Tomatoes and the larger growing vegetables should be set from three to four feet each way. Peas can be planted in rows eight inches apart and three feet allowed between each pair of rows. The cultivation in the nar row middle can be done with a hand cultivator. It the garden is large and the rows put wider apart, ordinary horse cultivator with many small teeth may be advantageously used. The ground should be kept well and thoroughly mulched on top after hav ing been prepared deeply. The weeds should be removed from between the rows and plants, and where possible a succession of crops should be ar ranged for, so that the garden will furnish various and sundry vege tables all through the season. For instance, a short row of radishes should be planted, and a week or ten .days after another short row should be pilt in. Where tomato plants are well -looked after and sprayed toma toes may be reasonably expected from SPRAYING. SOME CAUSES OF "FAILURE." 1--Work Not Thoroughly Done.' 2-Work Done Too Late (Calyx Closed). 3-Not Enough Applicatione. 4-Not Enough Spray Was Put On. 5-Machine Did Not' Maintain High Pressure. 6-Second Brood Worms Were Forgotten. 7-Poison Was Too Weak. 8-Lime Had Become Air-Slaked. 9-Spray Was Not Stirred Enough. lo-4oids Were Not Dissolved To g'ether-Particles Not in Sus pension. 11-Nozzles Gioggetd Becau~se Mix ture 'Was Not Strained. 12-Nozzles Did Not Throw a Fine Spray. 13-High Winds interfered. the time the plants commence to bear until frost. Corn should also be rais ed in succession so that the tender reasting ears may be pulled late in the fall. A sharp lookout should be kept for insects and diseases. Borax mixture is a good fungicide' for use in the garden. Arsenkte of lead should be used for biting insects. Do not, how ever, apply to vegetables that are to be used less than thi'oe weeks before the time they are ready for eating. Plant lice and many of the sucking insects can be combated with soap solution and kerosene emulsion. Cut worms and many of the gerious pests have to be combated by mechanical means, No farm is complete without its family orchard, and yet very few farm ers' families have planty of luscious fruit to eat the year round.
