MAKING VEGETABLE PLOTS.
Just What Vegetable! to Grow Depends
Upon the Individual Taetea of the
Family—Can Be Kept 8upplled With
Seasonable Fiesh Garden Truck.
[Prepared by United 8tates department of
agriculture.]
A little forethought will enable a
comparatively small tract of land to
supply the average family with fresh
vegetables throughout the growing sea
son, say specialists In the United
.States department of agriculture.
Most owners of small gardens are con
tent to raise a single crop on each
plot of land at their disposal. It is
quite possible, however, to grow two
or three crops in one season, and If
these are properly selected the homo
grown produce will be both better and
cheaper than any that can be pur
chased on the market
Just what vegetables are to be grown
depends, of course, upon the Individual

In this plan all the vegetables named ;
aro planted In rows across from the Inside j
lateral rows of strawberries. As rapidly :
aj each kind of peas matures and tho crop
Is over, kale is planted In its place. The
ground to be used for tomatoes Is first
planted with onion sets, and these onions
are used as rapidly as needed. When the
time comes to set out the tomatoes some j
of the onions are dug to make space for
tha tomato plants. When the tomato crop I
Is over the ground is occupied by spinach j
as tho third crop. Spinach 13 also planted 1
as soon as the bulb onions from the side
are gathered. The beans, carrots and
peas are succeeded by late cabbage, and
between the rows of late cabbage "potato
onion" sets are planted. Late beans aro

gathered.
tastes of the family. In general It
may be said, however, that the aim of
the home gardener should be to raise
vegetables in which freshness is an
important quality. Peas and string
or lima beans, for example, lose much
if they are not cooked almost imme
diately after they are picked.
If the small garden plot, however, Is
to be made to bring the maximum re
turns In economy and pleasure to the
owner every available foot of it must
be made to work continuously. This
can be accomplished only by careful
planning, and It is recommended, there
fore, that amateur gardeners draw up
in advance a complete layout for
their garden. A typical plan of this
character is shown In the diagram
above. On the plan the gardener
should indicate the date when each of
his projected crops Is to be planted.
No more space should be allotted to
each than is needed to furnish a suffi
cient quantity of the vegetable for the
family consumftion or for local sale.
In many cases also space should be
I left between the rows for the Inter
| planting of later crops and for easy
cultivation. Plants which make a high
growth and cause heavy shade should
not be located where they will Inter
fere with sun loving small plants.
Perennials, too, such as rhubarb and
asparagus, which are not cultivated,
should not be grown among plants
which call for tillage.
If a garden is planned in this way
and the scheme carried out the plan
should bo kept for use the following
year, with notes of the success or fail
ure of the different Items lit it. For
example. If too much or tco little of
any vegetable was grown this fact
should be recorded. It Is not desira
ble, however, to follow too closely the
same plan In succeeding years. The
same kind of vegetables should not be
grown twice, if this can be avoided, In
the same part of the garden.

Courtesy In Speech
a to
It is true tlmt the one time honored
"Ina'am" has gone the voyage. Yet
wait—what takes its place? Some
times nothing. Poor modem child!
Little Willie, .vou see, Is taught that
"ma'am" Is decidedly bad form, don't
you know, a mode o? address only
to bo used by servants, indeed, and so
his youthshlp comes out with an abrupt
"No" or n brief "Yes," to old ladies at^d
playmates alike. The really correct
thing for Willie to be taught is that tho
name or relationship of the person ad
dressed must be given in place of that
socially ostracized "ma'am." Ho must
say, "Yes,mother," or "No, father" (if
he has been taught not to use "sir"),
or "No, Mr. Smith or Miss Jones," as
the case may be. The mentioning of
a person's name when shaking to him
or her is al&ays a pleasant little mark
of courtesy, even from one older person
to another, and Is charming to hear
from a child's lips.
Co Mcrciful.
Never hurt any one's self respect.
Never trample on any soul, though it
may bo lying In the veriest mire, for
that last spark of self respect is its
only hope, its only chance, the last
seed of a new anil better life, tho voice
of God which still whispers to It: "You
are not what you ought to be, and you
are not what you can be. You are still
God's child, still an immortal soul.
You may rise and conquer it and be a
man yet after the likeness of God,
who made you." Oh, why crush that
voice in any heart? If you do the poor
creature Is lost and lies where he or
she falls, never to rise again.—Charles
Kingsley.
True Heroism.
The hero fears not that if he withhold
the avowal of a just and brave act it
will go unwitnessed and unloved. One
knows it himself and is pledged by It
to sweetness of peace and to uoblenes9
of aim, which will prove in the end a
better proclamation of it than the re
lating of the Incident—Emerson.

Hob-nailed footwear for miners was the rule, too—until The B. F.
Goodrich Company made rubber boots and shoes with soles that Outwear
Steel. Miners everywhere are finding that they do not have
to half-sole these wonderful boots and shoes—"Hipress"
soles outwear the hobnails themselves.
These boots are MOLDED—just like the
famous Goodrich Automobile Tires — INTO
ONE SOLID PIECE. They can't peel, or crack,
or leak. "Hipress" is pure white in color and
has a "RedTine 'round the Top" to distinguish
it from all other footwear. Look for that "Red
Line" because only "Hipress" Boots and Shoes
