“Pay what thou owest and live, 
thou and thy children on the rest.” 
If this plain command was uni- 
versally followed, depressions 
would lose much of their terror, 
and living expenses be painlessly 
reduced. Those who think that liv- 
ing expenses, above the minimum 
for life, should come before hon- 
est debts, add much to the cost of 
doing business and hence the gen- 
eral cost of living.

Elephant Buch (Portulacaria 
afra) isa tender African shrub with 
which I am just now getting ac- 
quainted. Deep red stem and light, 
yellowish green leaves. Mine shed 
its leaves in mid winter and now 
putting out more. I have read that 
farmers near the wild life refuges 
in Africa, dislike this shrub be- 
cause the wild elgphants will 
break through fences to browse on 
it; 
My two year old Frog Leg Cacti 
(Kalanchoe tubiflora) are about 
through blooming now, and putting 
out twiggy growth from top of 
stem. Will need staking when put 
outside. 
Arkansas has just passed 
through one of the wettest Febru- 
arys it has known. No gardens 
plowed yet, though early planting 
should have been completed by the 
14th. Last year I made compost 
heaps in old tubs.. Naturally that 
soil was workable when garden 
was too wet. Planted Onion plants, 
Radish, Carrots, Beets, Lettuce, 
Mustard, and Early Jersey Wake- 
field Cabbage seed in these Ven 
post beds, and all are up and 
thriving so far. The amount from 
such. small space will give us only 
a few nice early salads, but we 
like salads. 
My hens just getting into swing 
of laying. After more than half a 
century of raising chickens, this 
talk of need to cull out early molt- 
ers irritates me. It may possibly be 
a fairly good rule of thumb for 
the large scale poultry raiser who 
cannot possibly know the hens in- 
dividually, but it is simply hooey 
for the back lotter. The matter is 
an individual one, and the hens 
should be culled individually. We 
are told that early moulters take 
a long time to resume laying, and 
late ones a shorter. Some do and 
some don’t. Mine laid steadily until 
egg prices hit the ceiling, when 
they began shedding. Now they 
are getting back into production. 
Mr. and Mrs. Philo, Elmyra, N. 
Y., recognized the value of early 
molters which are soon feathered 
out and back into production. They 
selected for that object, and in.a
