Garden Lore xiii 
The race between man and the creeping things of the 
earth is said to be very equal. As soon as man 1s master 
of one, a new one appears, more persistent in its destruc- 
tive work and more difficult to conquer than any that has 
preceded it; consequently man has to seek new and more 
effective poisonous compounds that will kill these enemies, 
and not injure the vegetation upon which they feed. 
Otp Farmer’s ALMANAC 
The gardener must watch diligently lest he get outgen- 
eraled by the bugs, worms, and creeping things of the earth, 
which are ready to devour nearly every plant that grows. 
Otp Farmer’s ALMANAC 
Snug up and get things in order for a long winter. 
Otp Farmer’s ALMANAC 
Now that the harvest is past, it is time to prepare for 
winter. Secure the vegetables in the cellar before freezing 
weather comes. Otp Farmer’s ALMANAC 
Observe these hints and you will find it easy to keep win- 
ter vegetables in good condition: Keep onions cold, dry, 
and well ventilated. Hang cabbages by the stump in a cool 
cellar not too dry. Bury turnips, carrots, parsnips, and 
beets in moist, fine soil in a dry, cool cellar. 
Otp FarMer’s ALMANAC 
We have drawn from the land all that our industry com- 
pelled it to yield, and our crops in store and the book of 
receipts will tell us the story of the year’s work.
