Market Gardening a
Business
Maybe it’s because I was a gar*
dcner myself so long, but I always
did think that market gardening
was a pretty good business to fol-
low. I don’t suppose a person
would ever get rich at it, but there
is a good living at it anyway and
that is about all any of us get at any-
thing. I am supposed to be mak-
ing more money now at the seed
business than I used to at garden-
ing, but I ain’t getting only my
board and clothes out of it, and I
always did have that, and I work
just as hard as I ever did.
I doubt if it pays to go into it on
a big scale, and hire a lot of help
and run two or three wagons, and
have to hire men to do the selling,
or ship to commission houses a
long ways off. The best money one
time with another is in the home
market. Any town from 1,000 up is
a good market. It may not seem
like a very big opening, but it is a
good sure average. You may not
get the high prices you sometimes
do in a big city, but you don’t have
the risk of losing all of it as you do
sometimes on a city market.
Don’t try to cover too much
ground. A few acres well tended
is better than a lot of land half
tended. Start with a few acres,
keep it well enriched, and well
tended. Provide for irrigation on
at least a part of it if you can.
Grow good stuff and get it up in a
nice shape. Do your own selling.
Sell direct to the consumer and cut
out the middlemen. Deal liberally
and honestly with your customers.
Potatoes 200 bu., Sweet Potatoes
300 bu., Onions 200 to 500 bu.,
Beets, Carrots, Parsnips and Tur-
nips 300 to 600 bu., Cabbage 12000
pounds, Tomatoes 30,000 pounds,
Sweetcorn 1000 dozen ears,
Peas and String Beans in the pod
100 to 150 bu., Muskmelons 15,000
and so on. I have beaten those
figures lots of times. Early rad-
ishes and bunch onions you can
easily sell $5.00 to $8.00 worth from
each square rod. I averaged $9.6i>
a square rod on radishes one spring.
Of course it’s not all fun. There’s
lots of long hours and backache
and hard work, and hot work, and
getting wet in the rain, and all
that, but it won’t kill you, in fact
you even get fat on it. And you are
independent. You always have
something growing, and you have
some money coming in the year
around, and you always have some
change in your pocket.
It is not limited to any one locality
You can start anywhere. Probably
your own town is as good as any.
Try it and see. Garden stuff will
always sell. If it’s hard times
people eat more garden stuff and
less meat. Grow a little of every-
thing at first till you find out what
pays and what don’t, and then grow
a more limited line, but don’t con-
fine yourself entirely to one crop,
for if something happens to that
you’re done for then.
Buy Onion Sets Now
It is a good plan to get your
onion sets in the fall and have them
when you are ready to plant. We
<can sell for fall shipment at $1.10
per peck, $4.00 per bushel.
Charge a fair price and give good
measure. I remember an old Irish
friend of mine who used to say,
“Henry, ’tis no sin to charge high if
you give good weight and good measure.” I always re-
membered it. Ycu don’t have to have a whole lot of land
to start with. Some of the most successful gardens I have
ever known were little more than back yards. Go up to the
grocery store and make a list of the prices they are askin
for stale second quality vegetables and then go home and
put in an evening figuring out what can be grown on an acre
or even a quarter of an acre of each. Fair yields per acre
such as anyone may expect with good land and good care
and ordinary weather would be about as follows:

FIELD’S SEED SENSE FOR NOVEMBER
Another Good Hog Sale
Our hog sale of November 5th went
off in fine shape, as our hog sales
always do. We didn’t get any great
prices, but we sold lots of hogs, sold
them fast and everybody was pleased
with what they got. Everybody got
their money’s worth.
That is the kind of a sale I like to see.
Everything lively and good natured,
hogs selling fast and all selling.
You know in the ordinary hog sale
they sell about 40 or 50 head if they are
lucky. They will catalog about 40 or 50
head and then at the last end of the
sale they will drive back about ten or
twelve of them and not sell them at all.
It starts late and drags along until
pretty near dark. The crowd is uneasy
and the hogs are squealing, and it is
more or less of a dismal affair.
You don’t find it that way at our
sales. If you have ever attended one
you know what they are like. If you
have never been here at one of our
sales, you want to be sure and come
next time, and you will see a hog sale
that will open your eyes.
We always put in about 100 head, or
double the usual amount. This time
we sold 117 head. There was 120 head
there to sell, but at the final inspection
we found slight blemishes on three of
them, so took them out of the sale, but
the other 117 all went through the sale
and sold fast. We commenced prompt-
ly at 1 :00 o’clock and were through by
3:30. The bidding was lively and good
natured all the time, and we didn’t wait
and drag and cry for bids. When they
got up to about what they were worth,
we sold them and brougth out another.
The average of the sale was $73.23,
with practically nothing below $50.00,
and only three or four above $100.
This was all young stuff, which, of
course, never does bring as high prices
as bred sows bring. Considering the
way the most of the other hogs have
been going, we consider it just about a
fair price and everybody was satisfied.
I have just been counting up and I
find that our five hog sales, which we
have held this year, made a total of
about $90,000. Then, in addition, we
have sold about $50,000 worth at private
sale, mostly by mail. This makes a
total for the year of about $140,000, and
the balance of November and December
will probably add about $10,000 more
in private sales, making a total for the
year of $150, <J00. Do you know of any
other herd of registered hogs that has
sold that many in a year? If you do,
write and tell me.
Our next sales will be bred sow sales,
February 18th and March 17th, the same
dates we held them last year. Come
and see them if you are interested.
Meanwhile, we are selling all the time
at private sale. We still have a lot of
young stuff, both male and female, all
sizes and ages. Prices ranging from
$100 down to $30.00. Also, we will soon
be ready to furnish bred sows at prices
ranging from $100 to $200 each.

An Aristocratic Pig
We have just added a distinguished
member to our Spotted Poland China
herd. He is a member of the celebrat-
ed Arch Back King family, being a son
of Arch Back King 11419, the wonderful
Grand Champion owned by Taylor &
Taylor. Farther back in his pedigree he
is descended from Booster 66, Paul 20
Ancient Hero and Spotted Harkrader
He has brothers ac the head of several
of the most noted herds in the United
States. One, a litter brother, Arch Back
Prince, is Fred Obenchain’s “million
| dollar pig.” Another brother heads the
herd of Secretary Meredith.
As Van Sutliff says, “He has more
rich relations than any pig in the
country.”

Our Poultry Department
We have a big business in pure bred
poultry and can fix you out in fine
shape with cockerels of all the leading
breeds. Also a few pullets, especially
white and brown Leghorns. Send us
j your inquiry for what you want. We
; are printing a poultry catalog but have
| not got it ready to send out yet. We
j will be glad to send it to you as soon as
it is done. Meanwhile, we will be glad
to quote you by letter on anything you
may want.
The most sought-after strain in the
Spotted Poland China breed today is
probably the English. It is all descend-
ed from a pair of Spotted hogs import-
ed from England by Bert Arbuckle of
Indiana, about seven or eight years ago.
The original pair are now dead, but
their descendents are pretty well scat-
tered through the breed, but of course
there is not any great big amount of it
yet, and everybody wants it. I have
never been quite as enthusiastic about
the English blood as some of the ether
breeders, but there is no question but
what it is wanted by nine-tenths of
the breeders and it is always our policy
to give people what they want, if we
can. So, we are adding to cur herd two
first class, half English males.
We have always had some English in
our herd. In fact, over half our herd
carries more or less English, as you will
note by our November 5th sale catalog.
The demand is more insistent all the
time for English blood, and especially
for quarter English pigs. These two
half English lads at the head of our
herd will give us a chance , to supply you
with plenty of quarter English stuff
next year, so if you want English breed-
| ing, we can give you plenty of it.
Sweet Clover for
An acre of a good stand of sweet
clover wi'.l afford abundant grazing for
twenty hogs, and, with favorable condi-
tions, the hogs may be turned on the
pasture ten weeks after the seed is
sown.
On sweet clover pasture alone hogs
will maintain reasonable growin, but
they will not fatten much, as in the ca e
of alfalfa. The clover pasture is rich in
protein — a b\cne and muscle maker.
Hogs fatten exceptionally wed on sweet
clover pasture when they are gi\ en frem
one-fourth to one-half full grain ration.
It is advisable at all tunes, however, to
give the grazing hogs a light feeding of
corn, whether they are on sweet clover,
alfalfa or other pasture. Ring the hogs;
otherwise they will nose out the pi ants,
as swine keenly relish the large, juicy
roots of sweet clover. It is not neces-
sary, of course, to ring the shoats until
they go to rooting.
A bushel of sweet clover seed will sow
three to four acres. There are sixty
pounds to the bushel and fifteen to
twenty pounds are used to the acre.

Sow Alfalfa With Cloves
I was talking with a man the other
day who is a mighty good farmer and
he gave me a new idea about Aliaua_.
He says that when he sows Clover seed
he a’ ways puts a little Alfalfa with it,
anywhere from one to five pounds to
the bushel. He says that these scat-
tering plants of Alfalfa will get the
ground inoculated and get Alfalfa es-
tablished on the farm so that when he |
rfets ready to put the field into Alfalfa
any of his ground is in good shape for
it and full of bacteria. He said he be-
lieved I would be doing a good thm„ it
I mixed a little Alfalfa with all the Clov-
er seed I sold.
Now, of course, I wouldn t dare to do
that but I believe he is right in his idea.
I believe it would be a mighty gooc
thing to mix a little Alfalfa with each
bushel of Clover that you sow.

Are You Getting 8 Per Cent on Your Money?
We had a peculiar case the other day.
A young lady who absolutely and decid-
edly announced that she wouldn’t read
another word in Seed Sense nor have it
in the house.
Come to find out it seems tnat she
had been planning on a home and gar-
den of her own next spring and had
wisely been getting ready by reading
Seed Sense. The young man had made
her a present of it. For some reason
the deal fell through. I suppose the
presents were returned and sue was so
mad clear through that she wouldn t
even let Seed Sense keep on coming
to her. She must have been awful mad.
I really don’t see where we were to
blame, though, for I never said a thi a
that would start trouble.
But, of course, I didn’t argue tne ma -
ter with her for I found out a long time
ago there was no use trying to argue
with a woman when she was mad, be-
sides she may have other arrangements
made about a garden before spring and
that copy of Seed Sense may come m

Directions For
a Hot-Bed
Hotbeds are intended for
starting vegetable plants, such
as sweet potatoes, cabbage and
tomatoes earlier in the season
than they could be grown in the
open ground. The heat is fur-
nished by the fermentation of
vegetable matter, the most con-
venient and eligible material
being stable manure well mixed with straw and thoroughly wet down.
For small hotbeds the most common method is to dig a pit from one to two
feet deep and fill with manure, tramping it down and if dry adding water. It
must be fresh, as manure that has heated once is no good. After tramping and
wetting, cover with rich, mellow soil to the depth of six inches for planting cab-
bage, tomato and similar seeds. Build a frame for the bed a little smaller than
the pit. The object of this is to let the frame settle evenly with the bed and avoid
openings on the sides. The north side of the frame should be made the highest,
so as to give a southern exposure to the top and protect the plants from the north
wind. Bank around the sides well with dirt or manure. Cover the beds with
glass, of canvas, or in cold weather use both. This glass sash used to be quite
expensive, but can now be bought for about $2.00 each already glazed. This is
for 3 ft. by 6 ft. size generally used. Above is a cut showing how the hot bed
should be built. Test the soi: occasionally witli a thermometer by inserting it
under the surface in different parts of the bed and after the bed is warm and the
first rank heat is spent, plant the seed in narrow rows. Keep the temperature at
about 80 to 90 and soil moist. Give some air on warm days and as the plants get
larger leave the beds open much of the time to harden them.
Likes the Spotted Pigs
“Clyde Jack bought three Spotted pigs of
you, think they arrived in July or August.
He never had time to write, as he has been
sick most of the time. I am interested in
them, so would like to say that we both like
them fine. You gave us a belter deal than
any * Sight unseen ’ hogs we ever bought.
“We have several males for sale of white
hogs , so we have the one we got of you
among them. 1 never saw such a hog. He
will camp at the gate at feeding time and io
get him from under foot is a problem. He’ll
go to first trough and take a bite and then
to other as a person empties out their feed.
He it at the last when we get there. Would
rather feed 100 than feed him. It is very
funny and very aggravating. The two sows
are like any hog, but Til bet there is no oth-
er hog like him. Wishing you success, /
remain. Yours truly/*

How is Your Flag?
In most states a flag is supposed to
be kept flying at every school house.
Here is a clipping about the law of i
Kansas :
“Under a new Kansas law a flag fids
to be displayed from a pole outside of
all school buildings and one inside of
every school room, public, private or
parochial, in this state. Unless the.
directors or those in charge of the school
provide for the flag staff and purchase
'he flags, they are liable to be adjudged
guilty of a misdemeanor and fined.’’
It is practically the same in most of ,
the states. How is the flag at your
school? If il is old and worn out or
absent entirely, you should poke tip the
school board to have it replaced with a
new one.
We have a fine stock of flags in all
sizes and grades, and we specialize in
Ihe regulation, size and grade for school
houses. Write for full description and
prices. You will be surprised to find
what good flags we can furnish you at
reasonable prices.

Winter Sowing Sweet Clover
(cut here)
Order Blank
Henry Field Seed Company,
Shenandoah, Iowa Date 19 —
Gentlemen: Please enter my order for shares of the
preferred stock at $100 per share, and shares of the common
stock at $125 per share of the HENRY FIELD SEED COMPANY.

CP-
Enclosed find check or draft for $ — .
to pay for same which you will please forward to my address.
I will remit same ors
and you can forward stock to my address.
I have read with considerable interest
the article on sweet clover in a recent
issue of The Country Gentleman. I
should like to suggest that more atten-
tion be given to winter sowing. Freez-
ing, thawing and soaking seem to soften
the hard seeds so they will germinate
the next spring. On my farm in Ne-
braska I sowed unhulled sweet clover
seed last January at the late of eight to
ten pounds to the acre on ground that
had been plowed and harrowed late in
November. I also sowed some at the
same time in the fall wheat and on
ground that had grown millet the pre-
ceding year. The millet ground had
been given no preparation whatever.
Par value of both preferred and common Name
Stock $100. The preferred stock may be
purchased in any amount alone, but the
common stock will be sold only to purchase- P. O.
ers of the preferred stock on the basis of 1
share of common to every 2 shares of pre-
ferred stock. State
(over)
I obtained a good stand on the old
millet ground and in the wheat. The
ground that was plowed late in the fall
seemed too loose and the crop does not
look so good there as on the other fields.
I have seen several spring sowings fail
altogether.

Still Selling Spotted Pigs
We are having a splendid run of or-
ders of Spotted Polands, shipping 15 to
20 a week right along, but we have
probably the biggest herd of them in
the country and have lots to choose
from in filling the orders, and we still
have a good assortment on hand.
The principal call now is for male
pigs for immediate service and we are
well fixed in that line. Our last count
showed about 100 head, mostly pigs
weighing 170 to 200 lbs. Of course they
would weigh more if fat, but they have
been kept in just fair flesh. They are
all vaccinated, healthy, and good indi-
viduals in every way, and are all reg-
istered or eligible to registry. Many
of them are eligible to both the Nation-
al and the Standard associations, but
we always furnish National papers un-
less otherwise ordered.
We will be glad to have you drive
here any time and pick out your male
pig for yourself, but if you can’t come I
will select for you, and guarantee sat-
isfaction or no trade. We ship by ex-
press and guarantee safe arrival. We
furnish papers promptly.
The price is still the same, $75
each for the best, March and April
pigs. May and June at $50 and $60,
according to size and age. Specify
whether you want light or dark color,
and whether you prefer rough or
smooth type.
We are selling our two bred sow
sales, Feb. 18th and March 17th. Come
and see them then and buy them at your
own price. It will be a good chance to
visit the seedhouse in the busy time
anyway, and you can kill two birds with
one stone.
We have about 140 head of fall pigs
which will be ready to ship in Novem-
ber and December and we are bookinr
orders for them at $40 each, one cr
more, singly or matched pairs or trios
“/ will write and let you know l received
the pig all right. It arrived at 3:15 p. m.,
Wednesday, September 29th. 1 was well
pleased with the pig. I fixed a place for
her and bought a portable house for her to
sleep in. 1 received the papers today and
will send them off soon. Yours truly,”
— Everett Nelson, Lenox, Iowa, Rt. 3.
Cut Sudan Four Times
“Dear Sir: All the seeds / received from
you i his spring sure were fine. Especially
the Red Head tomatoes. I don*t think they
can be eat. Speaking of Sudan grass, I
drilled one-half acre in rows the 9th of June
and I have cut it four times when it was
about the height of timothy, and will cut it
again in a few days. Some grass I say.
Yours respectfully ,**
"—Harry Robaugh, Licking, Mo,, Rt. 2.
‘‘Alfalfa or Bust”
“Dear Sir: I received my alfalfa seed and
sowed it the 2nd of September , and / think
every seed came up. Have a fine stand.
Everybody is watching it to see what i am
going to do with alfalfa here. It is the only
patch in this locality, and if ! can make good
you wilt sell more Kansas~N ebraska seed
here next fall. Everyone wanted to grow
alfalfa, but did not have the nerve to try it.
Afraid to take the chance. So here goes,

$16,000.00 Worth of Seed to
One County
“Dear Sirs: Last year, a little later in
l he season we did a pretty good business in
clover seed. All told during the pass season
our County Farm Bureau has purchased ,
through your company, in the neighborhood
of $16,000.00 worth of seed. All of this seed
we have found to be excellent, and it has
given us absolute satisfaction. The result is
that we have one of the largest crops of
clover seed in the county this year that we
have ever had. There are some individual
farmers who have as high as 500 to 1,000
bushels of clover and alsike seed. Yours
very truly.
An Illinois County Agent.
Colorado Girl and Her Pets
Here is a nice picture sent me by Mr.
E. T. Carr, Wiggins, Colo., showing Dor-
is Lucille Carr, 12 years old, and her
pony and dog T.hey sure make a nice
looking bunch: There is nothing much
nicer for a pet than a pony or a dog, un-
less it is a spotted pig.
Change of Address
Be sure and write us if you change
your address. We want to keep in
touch with you and keep Seed Sense
and the catalog coming to you regularly,
but of course people move around more
or less, and the first you know we have
lost track of a lot of good friends.
When you write us about the change
of address be sure and give both your
old and new postoffice. You see we
have people filed by their postoffices
and keep track of them that way in-
stead of filing them by the names. We
have all the records for each town in
one place and if you write us that you
are moving, give us your old and new
address both, and then wc can find you
easily.
The New Catalog
It is getting along nicely. We will
be ready to mail about January first,
possibly a day or two before that. Of
course it would be no use trying to mail
out catalogs before Christmas, for the
mail will be jammed full of Christmas
presents and calendars and such things,
and it will be impossible to get very
good service, but right after Christmas
after the Christmas rush is over, we
will begin mailing catalogs and you will
get one if your name was on our list
last year.
You don’t need to write and especial-
ly ask for a catalog if you got one last
year. You will hear from us again this
year all right but if you did not have
our catalog last year you should write
us and mention it and then we will see
that you get a catalog for the coming
year. Also if there are some of your
friends who are not getting the catalog
I will be glad to send it to them at your
request.
. From the enclosed picture, you will see
that the pigs have grown into hogs. Now at
seven months old they weigh something over
200 lbs. each. Both doing fine. Respectfully,”

What to do With Flower
Bulbs
We are getting dozens of letters from
people every day who want to know
what to do with canna, gladiola and
dahlia bulbs now that the frost has
killed the fops.
Of course, as long as the ground does
not freeze there is no particular hurry
about digging them, but any time now
there is likely to be a frost hard enough
to freeze the ground and that would
probably hurt the bulbs, so better dig
them just as soon as you can and get
them in a dry, cool place. The cool part
is not so important, but it is important
to get them in a dry place just as soon
as you can and of course they must be
where they will not freeze. Cannas,
gladiolas, dahlias, spotted cailas, ma-
deira vines and panama lilies are all
tender to frost and freezing and will
kill the bulbs.
They can be kept through the winter
just the same as potatoes, or onions, or
anything of that sort. The principal
thing is to keep them dry enough so
they will not start to grow, and all ex-
cept the cannas should be kept fairly
cool. Cannas, however, do not like cool
weather. The best thing to do with
them is to keep them fairly warm. If
you have a furnace room in your cellar
put the cannas in there and put the oth-
er bulbs in the same room where you
keep Irish potatoes, but put them up on
the bank where it will be rather dry.
They can be kept in a bucket or box,
or in a cloth sack, or an old paper sack,
or anyway that would suit you. Just so
they are kept dry and not allowed to
pile up in too big a mass. If they are
piled up in a big, solid pile or a tight
box, they are liable to get moist and
heat in the center of the pile. Of course,
ail the tops and frozen stems should be
trimmed off before they are put away
for the winter. All you want to keep is
the roots, but you must remember that
dahlias start, not from the rott itself,
but from the neck where the root and
stem join.
Any of these bulbs can be kept
through the winter with safety until
time to plant them out of doors, which
would be March, April or May, accord-
ing to your latitude, but on the other
hand they can be started early in flower
pots if you are anxious to get quick
action.
Hang Up Your Seed Corn
This is one year when apparently all
the corn got ripe and it looks now like
it would all grow, but just the same we
are sticking to our habit of hanging up
seed corn and I would advise you to do
the same thing.
No matter how well matured and ripe
the corn may be it seems to keep better
and grow better in the spring if hung
up early in the dry and kept dry all
winter.

music although it does not have a motor

“Little Wonder” records are sent with
each machine.

FIELD’S SEED SENQE FOR N^VEMRER
A Rea! Christmas
Here’s a Chance to Buy a Pho-
nograph at a Price You
Can Afford to Pay.
Offer Expires on Xmas Day
From the time you receive this
Seed Sense until Xmas Day we
are going to reduce our Shen ■
andoah Phonograph prices 20
per cent on all easy payment or-
ders and an extra 10 per cent
for cash. For instance, the
Model AX shown here sells for
$110.00. If you want it on easy
monthly payments and order at
once it will cost you 20 per cent
less or $88.00. If you pay cash
you can deduct another 10 per
cent from the $88.00, which will
make it $69.20. This discount
applies to all models in our pho-
nograph catalog, which we will
mail to you upon receipt of your
request. Our catalog shows 8
beautiful models, ranging at
regular prices from $65.00 to
$150.00. We include with every
phonograph six 10-inch Colum-
bia Double Disc Records and a
liberal supply of needles.
The Model AX Shenandoah
Phonograph shown is 47 inches
high, 19 inches wide, and 20
inches deep. Take your yard
stick and just measure on the
wall to show yourself what a
wonderful bargain we are of-
fering you. Every model is
furnished in either fumed oak,
golden oak or mahogany. We
invite you to compare the richWes- : tine, beautiful finish, design, and value of
our Shenandoah Phonographs with any other phonograph on the market today.
The working parts of every Shenandoah are guaranteed by us, and are standard
parts, which can be obtained almost anywhere, in case of trouble. The sound
chamber is of violin construction, which does away with all metallic sound.

Bends on a phonograph and allow you face value for them.

log and quote you prices. We can sup-
ply Columbia Grafonolas in any style

vertised, and they are sold in nearly

the market for one of them it will pay
you to get our terms and prices We
will sell them on easy payments. Write

ing list so you will receive the new rec-
ord catalogs which are sent out every

R. & 1'L Fibre Needles
The use of B. & H. Fibre Needles will
prolong the life of your records. They
are impregnated with an oily material
which acts as a perpetual lubricant and
smoothes and polishes grooves of your
record making it better every time it is
played. The continual use of these
needles will make your records wear
for years. The reproduction is much
better than when steel needles are used
as the fibre needles remove so much of
the scratch and surface noise. These
needles may be used over and over
again, and when they wear off so repro-
duction is not satisfactory they may be
repointed with our Wade Fibre Needle
Cutter. No danger of injuring your
record by allowing needle to become
dull. They may be used on any record
made.
Package of 50 Needles 25c Postpaid

Reproducer, the motor is of the Worm Gear Governor type. Nothing complicated
to get out of order. This phonograph is durably constructed and finished in ma-
hogany. The tone is very distinct and brings out every sound. If you want a low
priced table model that will give satisfaction you can’t beat this one. Sold for

Brilliantone Steel Needles

liantone. They reproduce better and are easier on your records than any steel
needle we know of. We have them in three tones, full tone, loud tone, and half
tone. Order an assortment and see which you like best.
