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.

Winter Cleaning Up in Garden.

all rubbish and dead plants be removed
and burned to protect the crops
of next season from the insects and

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

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
