• • • % • • • » USEFUL HOME GARDENS. Method of Laying Ono Out and Culti vating IL Many people residing in rural cotn muuitles are anxious to get lufortua- tlon whereby they can make tbe space about their home« useful for garden purposes The one great secret in being suc cessful with the family garden is to provile an abundance of plant food in a form readily available to the grow I ing plants. Stable and barnyard ma- □ureH are the t>e«t fertilizers at all times Some of tbe commercial plant foods are excellent tn their place, espe cially when it is desired to force some of the early varieties of vegetables, but their use requires that the soil be lu a high state of fertility aud that the gar dener have an expert knowledge of their uses and functions. Constant cultivation should be the rule, for thia will keep tbe soli in an ideal physical condition for the roots to grow in. besides keeping the weeds in check. Cultivate early and perxiHt- entiy und keep ahead of tbe weeds. Allowing tbe weed seeds to germinate ami tiien quickly destroying them by frequent cultivation early in the grow ing season will save a large amount of work during the summer. Eliminate all the old fashioned beds [ and plunt «‘verything in long rows so 1 that most of the cultivation can be done with it horse. There tie<*d not b<* au unpleasant amount of hard hand work If properly worked with a horwc and cultivator. Provide plenty of room at the emis to turn around with the hors»* while cultivating. * D»» not plan a larger garden than you can keep cl»*nn and well tlll»*»l A small garden will supply an abundance of small vegetabl«*s for a large family. After the soil has been well enrich«*d anti well fltt»*»i we lire ready to plant. If the plan has been well work«*d out i all that is nec»*ssary is to plant each variety at the prop«*r time in its right place. t The family garden must be planned to suit the ntssls of th»* family, and no two faiidli<*s will agree as to th»* amount and kinds of vegetables they will grow. c THE GRÀNGE COMBINING RURAL FORCES.

People outside the grange membership, but known to have direct interest in the particular subject to tie considered, are invited. Sometimes other organ izations which are working along this special line are asked to attend or send representatives to participate in the discussions, in this way questions re lating to dairying, fruit culture, good roads, the state constitution, tenqter- anee, birds, schools und the tariff have been presented Last November a mod el meeting took place w hen an all day session iii conjunction with the Wash tenaw County Schoolteachers’ associa tion was held. Memtiers of gleaner arbors and of farmers' clubs, rural pastors and Sunday school workers, were cordially invited, for a part of the aim of the program was to con sider how rural forces might strength eu one another’s efforts. It proved to tie a most valuable meeting. We cm lint name a few of the subjects discussed to show the range of topic: •’School Sanitation." by a member <>f the state board of health: "The Rural Field and its Needs.” by Lecturer Grah'tin of the Pomona grange, who said that the Held for uplift in country life compriseti. first, better farming: second, better or more even distribution of fttrtu products; third, doing away with the amassing of large fortunes; fourth, organization of farmers.

FOUGHT OFF DEATH. ’ Ths Respite Dr. Shrady Bravely Wsn For General Grant. “You can see the conditions—gen eral Grant is dying now," came Dr. Douglas' voice in broken tones. The Rev. Dr. Nesvman bad knelt bt^the tiedside and, bolding oue of the man’s nerveless bands, began to pray. “You see the preacher is busy, and the doctors ought to be busy, too," Dr Shrady whispered grimly to his senior colleague. “It would be a torment without avail." sighed the senior. 8<> there stood the medical code warding off succor from the dying man. The general must expire, per chance, because the Initiative belong ed to a man without any at the mo ment. Douglas must consent. Shrady must not lie shackled. Lie turuetF again to the patient, leaned above bint a moment and touched his pulse lie twisted the gray goatee in nervous twitches. Suddenly he turned again, ultimate resolve in his face, and tip toed again to where his colleague was. "1 say, Douglas, something must be done. If this man dies here now. what can we say to the medical world? Ev ery doctor on earth will want to know what and when were the lust shots we fired. Shall we tell them that for ten minutes at the last, half an hour so far as 1 know, we stood idly and star ed at a dying man?" The old doctor stirred wearily and turned a hopeless and therefore help- less face to the younger one also; there was in its lines a touch of won- der. "Douglas, it would damn us both eternally, and It ought to. Perhaps yon can afford it. l>nt 1 can’t, either as a physician or a human being. Sotne- thing's got to be done.

"Something, anything—a hypoder mic of brandy first!" “Oh. if you wish .to try it—yes." It had Iteen enough. The code was satisfied. Shrady was filling the lit tle silver syringe with the ardent liquor from French hillsides. Some thing was being done. Members of tin* family turned to watch. The man ner of Its doing somehow inspired them, and the older doctor, looking on. drew near. The left arm of the dying man was bared, the slender hollow needle found its way. au<l the potent brandy mingled with the blood. The Rev. Dr. Newman had risen from his praying Shrady was half kneeling in his place. Both by differ- ent means sought the same end. Keenly the younger doctor leaned to the patient, All Ills other senses had lent their powers to those of sight and hearing. The tiny instrument glon m- ed between thumb and linger of tils still extended hand. There was a slight catch In the general's throat, followed by a half sigh Swiftly a new look came Into the face of each physician; swiftly the younger refilled the little syringe and hurried to the other side of tlie couch. Then through the right arm sprang the potent fluid, and again they walt- <sl the result — very soon a long, flut tering sigh; then a longer, stronger Inspiration; then measured breathing anti filially cotiseiousness.
