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.

Dr Shrady whispered grimly to his

“It would be a torment without

The old doctor stirred wearily and
turned a hopeless and therefore help-
