XVIII.-The Vegetable
Garden

GOOD vegetable garden will pro
duce at least bait of the fam
ily’s living during tbe sum
mer months, to say nothing of
the vegetables that may be canned or
stored in the cellar for winter use.
Many farmers object to a garden as
causing too much work. That is large
ly because they make it so. The lar
gest item of work Is hoeing, and If the
garden is properly planned and man
aged little of that will need to be done.
Tbe mistake most often made is in the
location of the garden, it is put in a
little corner back of the bouse where
there Is no room to use horse tools. It
is much better to plant a few fruit
trees in such a space and locate tbe
garden some place where It can be
worked by horsepower.
A
tbe season they may be transferred,
box and all. into tbe garden bed and
suffer uo backset.
During cold uigbts tbe hotbed should
be covered with straw or old carpets
' to keep it from getting too cold iuside.
On sunshiny days the sash may have
to be raised during tbe warmer part
I of the day to give veutilatiou Tile
plants should be watered in the morn
ing on warm days only to prevent too
great a reduction of temperature.
A cold frame Is almost as necessary
as a hotbed. Tbe plants raised in a
hotbed are very tender and are liable
to be injured if trausplauted directly
to the garden. The cold frame is
made the same as a hotbed except that
no manure is used. After tbe plants
have obtained a good start in tbe hot
bed they should be transferred to the
cold frame. The plants in the cold
frame are gradually accustomed to
the outside air by leaving tbe sash up
for longer periods each day. This
transplanting also helps the tomatoes
and cabbages in another way, in that
it makes them thicker stemmed and
causes better root development.
A
stocky plant of this kind Is always a
better grower and yielder.

Early Potatoes.
A good way to secure earllness tn
the case of potatoes is to pack a num-
ber in saud somewhere where they
will get plenty of light This should
be done a week or so before planting
time. As soon as tbe ground is ready
these tubers are set out carefully so
as not to break off the sprouts which
have started. A week or more in the
earliuess of the crop can be saved in
this way. The early potatoes may be
planted rather shallow aud a thick
coating of straw placed between tbe
rows. On nights when there is danger
of freezing, the plants can be covered
with straw. No cultivation will be
necessary, since the straw will keep
the weeds down and conserve mois
ture. When digging time comes the
straw can be thrown back and the po
tatoes will be found on top of the
ground, or nearly so. Of course this
plan is not practicable except for a
few rows of the earliest potatoes.

Bismarck on the throne of France!
Bismarck was once spoken of In that
connection, and by Napoleon too! It
was during the detention of the de
throned emperor at Wllhelmshohe in
1871, when Napoleon and some mem
bers of his staff were discussing the
probability of Napoleon reascending
the French throne and news of the do
ings of the commune was brought in.
"Horrible—too horrible!” exclaim«!
le petit empereur.
And then after a long silence he re
sumed. "1 kuow a man who if on the
French throne would be master of
Germany in six mouths.'*
“His name, sire?” asked bls nephew.
Prince Murat.
••Bismarck." replied tbe emperor as
he turned on his heel.
