CLEANING OP IS IWPORTINT Rubbish and Dead Plants Should Be Raked Up and Burned to Protect rope of Next Season From Injurious Insects. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) r Home gardens were boons to thousands of families in the United States last season^tind ,the garden habit seems to have become fixed with a large number ot persons. In most sections tlie late fall gardens were killed by frost and Id many cases the debris still litters the ground. Bean poles and tomato stakes, with their burden of frosted vines, are toppled over and give the-garden an unkempt and ragged appearance. Aside from the aesthetic influence of Cleaning up the garden, It Is Important. specialists of the United States. Winter Cleaning Up in Garden. (Department of Agriculture say, that all rubbish and dead plants be removed and burned to protect the crops of next season from the insects and ^ disease spores which Infest the debris. few hours of work In the garden f now will save serious losses another year. Gather the bean poles, tomato V (takes, and any removable trellises or j ^ wires, store the good ones until they j W are again needed; then pull, rake to- j gether, and burn all the dead vines I and plants left In the garden. If these are too wet or green to burn, they may tu* ffflfhpred in small Dlles for a few days to dry and then piled together and burned. Spread Manure In Winter. Winter Is a good time to spread rough manure over the garden. This serves a double purpose. In that It I adds fertility to the soil and also protects the soil from washing a*d blowing. Heavy clay soils should be broken { up and left rough and lumpy before ! applying the manure. The kind of manure to use for this purpose Is not Important, so long as It Is not filled j with weed seeds or trash of any kind. ' Manure in which straw has been used for bedding can be taken direct from the stable and spread on the garden as a surface cover during the winter, A the rough part being either plowed un der in the spring or raked off and put W la the compost heap. The finer part * remaining on the ground can be worked Into the top soil In preparing the seed bed next spring. V Compost Heap Helpful. Compost made by piling up sods, manure, UUU Ul) uiaienai ua>ujg i?tqitlng value will be needed In preparing special soli for seed beds and for starting plants next spring. Now Is the time to make a compost heap. The best method Is to obtain a load of ^ man ore, prepare a level space 4 by 6 feet, spread 2 or 3 inches of the | manure over this space, follow with a layer of sod which has been chopped Into pieces with a sharp spade, then additional layers of manure and sod v until all of the manure has been*used. As a rule, the natural rainfall dur . ing the winter will be sufficient to keep the pile properly moistened, and P as spring approaches a roof of boards, ? or other covering, should be pfeced Jr over the pile so It will not be too wet for use when needed. When "the time comes to use it, the compost should be cut from one end of the pile with a sharp spade, then thoroughly worked over and screened before it Is placed In seed boxes or In the hotbed. Experienced gardeners keep a compost heap going In one corner of the garden from one year's end to another, onrt nil snrnlus manure and sod are ! placed In it. As a consequence, these 1 gardeners always have a supply of good loam for preparing special plant beds or top-dressing a piece of land for the growing of lettuce or other intensive crop. PHOSPHORUS FOR FERTILIZER Method Devised by Department of AgI rleulture for Obtaining Material k From Raw Rock.

STRYCHNINE USEFUL \ TO DESTROY RABBITS Good Lively Machine Gun Is Harmless in Comparison. i J Record of 1,000 Animals to One Ounco of Poison Made in Gooding County, Idaho?Campaigns in 0+her Western States (Prepared by the United States Departmerit of Agriculture.) A good lively maehtne gun is harmless when compared to strychnine? at least when it is used to exterminate rabbits. In Lincoln county, Idaho. the farmers, workine In co-ODera tlon with the biological survey, United States Dq>artment of Agriculture, report that one ounce of the poison killed 400 rabb'lts. Farmers In Gooding county did even better with their poison and averaged 1,<XXJ rabbits to the ounce. Minidoka county, conducting a poison campaign undeT the direction of the bureau, killed 40,000 rabbits. These figures are Illustrative of the ; work that has been done under gov- j ernment direction in exterminating j rabbits in the western states, where I they are so plentiful as to be extreme- ! ly destructive to orchards and crops, j Large-scale campaigns were organized In Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, j Utah and Arizona under the leadership of Department of Agriculture rep- : resentatlves and along co-operative J lines In which the state governments, , the state extension service, and the land owners assumed a share of the responsibility. In addition to the poisoning methods, great rabbit drives : were conducted, some of which resulted In the killing of as many as 10,000 rabbits. The representatives of the bureau of biological survey emphasize the fact that, In the West, the rabbit Is a serious menace. Rabbits often devastate large fields of grain and destroy valuable orchards and vineyards. There are instances where orchards representing the work and savings of a lifetime, and which constitute the sole support of the owner, have been completely destroyed In a single night by jack rabbits. SUPERIOR ERACE FOR FENCE Timber* Firmly Mortised In Afford Great Resistance to Heavy Strain of Wires. The constant strain of a wire fence soon pulls the posts ovef This Is especially annoying when the fence Is hnllt on a cnrve. Here Is a rail brace that presents great resistance to the destructive force of the wires. It Is placed 18 inches above the surface of the ground, and is mortised Into the If the Posts Are Braced Against Each j Other by Timbers Firmly Mortised In, the Fence Is Strengthened Against the Pull of the Wire. I posts about one-quarter inch at each end. The posts are set a rod apart, and are 6 or 7 Inches In diameter, so that a timber 4 by 4 Inches by 16 feet will Just fit In between the posts. The posts and rail should be creosoted, and the posts should be firmly set In holes three feet deep. The woodwork will then outlast the wire. CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER SIRES More Than 3,000 Persons Have Agreed to Breed All Live Stock to Purebred Sires Only. I The better sires campaign recently passed the 3,000 mark. This means that more than 3,000 persons have agreed In writing to breed all live stock kept on their farms to purebred sires onlf. It Is one of the results thus far accomplished by the United States Department of Agriculture, In co-operation with the states and county agents. In a systematic campaign begun only 14 months ago to exterminate scrubs?especially scrub sires?throughout Dthe United States. Breeders and owners of all classes of live stock and poultry are co-operating In the effort which eventually will mean a higher quality average of the country's live stock. GETTING PRODUCTS TO CITY Object in Building Roads Should Be to Enable Farmer to Get Bert Prices for Crops. Since the use of public roads is primarily in the transportation of farm products and farm necessities, the aim in building them should be to serve the best business of the nation, of which more than one-half Is farming, and the roads should form a state system connected with the systems in adjoining states. This means that the road, instead of being from a farm to one market, Is one from*many farms to many markets. Ry cheap, quick delivery to shipping points such system will enable the fari.'cr r havf access to oumj'tf-rMw n !: ' !-s and thus at all, times to secure the best prices'for his NOTICE OF ELECTION.
