class Of farmers. They can see that the corn and r
potato crops pay, for these have market value, and
will bring in cash, more than enough to Iemunerate
the labor necessary to grew them. But the salads
the radishes the caulihower the cabbage the Rspa
ragus and the small fruits that they de not raise to
sell, have no appreciabe value, and they grudgethe
time and abor necessary to secure them Aload OF
manure dropped in the garden is regarded a rob
berry Of the field, aud every day spent In plant
Ing or wedding the vegetable beds as so much lost
| time.
This idea that garden is improbable will not
bear examination will not stand the test Of tho
farmers own standard Of value. Though the vege'
tables he might raise have no market value, they
would at least save the staple crops Of his fields.
AS soon as the garden produces good variety Of
fruits aud vegetables, there will be much smaller
consumption Of his accustomed articles Of food to
say nothing OF the increased health and comfort OF
his family. Health suffers by long continued use
OF salt meats and by a scanty veget bio diet.
But 1t will be asked how we mako the garden
profitable! There must be an Intelligent faith, that
capital and labor expended here will be as we'll re.
} warded as in any other place It was a remark OF
Webster in one Of his familiar episles John Tay
lor, that ia we'll titled garden wonld half support
: family" So far as the supplies Of the table are
concerned, this is strictly true. The farmer can
have all the Injuries that spring out of tbs earth IN
their perfection, and at first cst. lie will fluid this
much better economy than door fruitless garden,
luxuTant only In weeds, and Profitable only to dis.
gust his sons and daughters with farm life.
To make the garden NEST profitable, it must lie
be more thorough mechanical preparation of the
soil The mere plUwing Of the surface soil, i've or
six inches deep, will not secure the best results We
have found in ouI experience thai foot pays much
better, and garden soil two feet in depth pays bet
ter STILL This, Of course, cannot be made at once
without good deal of expense; but it should be the
aim OF every good gardener. The sub soil should
be brought up every year until he has rich derk
mould, two or more in depth, in every part Of his
garden 1t should be stirred to that depth every
spring. before the seeds are put Into the soft, The
best tools TO do this work with are the common sur
faae spade and the trenohing spade. These eRvs the
soil in much lighter condition than the Plow, ami
give freer range to the small roots Of plantc. Of
course, the laLor of preparing seedbed, with the
spade is much greater than with the plOw but the
At results are also much better both in the yold of
h. vegetables, and in the amclOratisn Of the soil.
FI Liberal manurng Is another item of economy in
" the garden. This should be in proportion to the
depths of the soil A heavy dressing upon soil,
stirred only two or three inches Deep would be likely
IN TO burn up the crops, while If il thorough

add to their luxuriance auano, night soil, and
strong stable manure, often destroy the roots OF
IS plants because they not sufficiently Incorporated
in with the soil The perfectly you carry this
re process OF inlermngiHg the largely with the
so appropriate Fertilizers, and give good account

Y When one has thus prepared his garden ia spring
