Successive Plan Outlined to Aid Farmer In Having Cistern Full of Water When . the Wind Is Blowing. Plantings of Sweet Corn May Be Made Tomato and Are Started and Handled In About Same Way! Egg-pla- Three of the most popular vegetables for the family table are sweet corn, tomatoes and eggplant. Sweet corn, to be at Its best, should be eateh within a few hours after It Is ' picked, for Its sugar content disappears very rapidly after It Is removed from the garden. For this reason and because of Its very general popularity, It Is an excellent vegetable to grow In the home garden. It should be planted on rich land and cultivated In the same manner as field corn. Beginning as soon as the soil Is warmi successive plantings may be made every two or three weeks until late summer. Another method of prolonging the supply Is to plant early, medium and late varieties. Another favorite vegetable Is the tomato, which now forms one of the most Important of our garden crops. In the, North,, It I? very desirable to start the plants In a house or a hotbed, and to transplant them once or twice, In order to secure strong and vigorous plants by the time all danger from frost Is past. plants are especially desirable and they may be brought to the blooming period by the time It Is warm enough to plant them with safety In the garden. If the plants are not to be trained, but allowed to lie on the ground, they should be set about four feet apart each way. If trimmed and tied to stakes they may be planted In rows three feet apart and 18 inches apart In the row. Eggplant Is started and handled In the same way as the tomato. It Is, perhaps, less wld.ely known, but Is rapidly becoming a popular vegetable. The soil best adapted for Its production is a fine, rich sandy loam, well drained. The plants should be set In rows three feet apart, and two feet .apart In the row. Free cultivation Is desirable and the plants should be Pot-grow- , n Regulating the windmill and water supply on the farm Is an Important matter. The following plan works well and Is worth many times Its cost,, as with it one can depend on having a cistern full of water when the wind blows. The cistern may be at any elevation or distance from the well and any kind of force pump may be used. It Is made as follows : In the center of the cistern on an nipple, a common float valve Is used, through which the water enters the cistern. Cn the end of the pipe a horizontal check valve Is used through which the cistern Is drained. In the, well, next to the pump, a T and cut-ovalve Is f d FOR FOOD Worlds Needs and Possible Profits Should Stimulate Farmers to Their Best Efforts.

MISTAKE WITH HARNESS REDUCTION IN LIVING COSTS 1 Poor Practice to Hang It Over or Near Manure Ammonia Destroys Life of Leather. Garden Is Quickest and Best Means of Lessening Expenses and Relieves Food Shortage. A mistake that Is often made Is that of hanging harness over or near manure. The ammonia, rising from the manure sooner or later destroys the life of the leather. Sometimes, too, harness not used in the winter thrown into a corner, perhaps on the ground, and left there until spring. No manufacturer can turn out leather goods and stitching that will stand such neglect. If harness is cleaned and oiled at no other time, it should at least be so treated in the fall, then hung in a dry place when not In use. The garden is th$ quickest and best means of reducing the cost of living. Present food prices can best e reduced by grqwing a new supply of food. It will take several months to produce a surplus of many food products such as meat, potatoes and flour. Furthermore, the effedt of this surplus on the price which the consumer has to pay is doubtful. .By planting a garden the consumer can relieve the food shortage directly In a few weeks.

Conquered by the Fulanl. The Hausa Confederation, of which Katsena possessed the most influence, extended its authority over many of the neighboring countries, and remained paramount till the Fula, or Fulanl, under Sheikh Dan Fodio, in 1180, conquered the states and founded the Fula empire of Sokoto. The Fulanl people are a mixture of Berber and negro, and where the purest types of the race are found they are or light' chestnut of a reddish-browcolor, with oval faces, ringlety or even smooth hair never woolly straight and even aquiline noses, delicately shaped lips, and regular features, quite differentiating them from the negro race.

' Mu family. up-turn- To sweeten an acid soil, a sufficient amount' of finely ground limestone or slaked lime must be scattered evenly over the plowed ground and worked into the top soil. Ground limestone is usually the cheapest and most satisfactory In general, though It takes effect more slowly than quicklime, slaked lime or hydrated lime, and a larger quantity must be applied to get the same results. The screenings from an ordinary rock crusher can be used. Coarser material has little immediate effect on the soil, but If a much larger quantity of the coarse material is used it will keep the soil sweet for a longer time. ' Screenings can be obtained at from 25 cents to $1 a ton.
