Now is tho time to do all of
that cultivating. Regular use of
the hoe or cultivator will keep
down weeds and make a dust
mulch to hold In the moisture. A
good gardener will try to got
this done at least onco a week
during tho next few woeks, but
alas, how many of us wait until
wo let things dry out and havo
an extra big crop of weeds to
get rid of. If one Is only a part
time gardener, as many a house
wlfo la, the best plan I havo
found Is to make up one's mind
to put in a little time In the
gurden or yard every doy. An
hour or even a half hour early in
the morning or some time spent
In tho evenings when It Is cool
will accomplish far more in a
yard or gardon than a whole
day or two in every two weeks
or whenever things get to such
a stage that we realize something
must bo done or else.
By this method one can man

patch on an average of once a

: Nitrate of soda is one of the
quickest acting fertilizers we
have, and a little used now will
help along a crop that Is slowing
up because wc have had so much
cool weather. Unless one has a
regular npparatus for applying
theso things it is a little awk
ward. Ono party I know works
it this way. As the nitrate Is
apt to bo lumpy and difficult to
apply evenly by hand, dissolve
it in hot waters The same
amount of water as nitrate. Then
thoroughly mix this solution
with eight times its volume in
fine sand or dust or coal ashes
If you havo them. This dilutes
tho nltruto enough 'so it can be
spread evenly and the dust is
dampened enough by the solu
tion so it will not scatter too
much, It may then be used as
a top dressing for lawns, around
shrubs and flowers i n small
quantities without danger of get
