Farmers Gardens.

Perhaps there is no one thing connected
with the culture of the soil so badly and
universally neglected by farmers as their
gardens. How many in your neighborhood,
reader, have what may be strictly term ed
good garden from year to year? How
many grow an abundant supply of small
T. u's for the use of the familyP How many
have asparagus, radishes and salads plenti-
fully, or at all, early in the season melons,
cucumbers, squashes, tomatoes, cabbages
peas, beans green corn, &C., in the summer
months; aud celery, vegetable oyst ers, pars-
nips. turnips, horse rddish. &C., in the fall,
winter. and early springP All farmers can
and should have them nothing which they
eat is cheaper, moro grateful or health full
than these, together with the summer
fruits. five eau persuade you to take the
pains, and incur the slight expense neces
sary to their production, we shall be amrly
rewarded for our labor by the gratitude and
satisfaction which we know those feel who
are del endent on you for support, and who
eat daily at your table.
Hdre you garden spotf lCsho ould be n
choice piece of land; not. large, but rich,
dry, warm, near the dwelling, and enclosed
to pre-, ent the depredations Of fowls and
animals. IL the soil is poor you have the
means Mt hand TO make it rich; if heavy or
wet, thoroughly underdrain it-as it is
small you can afford this expense. We re
peat. it need not be large. for a small gar
den, we'll titled, is much better, and less
costly, than large one overrun with weeds,
and cultivated like your felda LEAF mould
from the woods, with ashes, lime and plas-
ter, are the best manures you can use, un-
less you can spade or plough in deep fine
barnyard manure. This year you should
make a compost heap, and have it on hand
for the next
If the garden is SMALL it is best not to
plough. but rather spade. First Of all lay
it out well make bed or border, as they
are called, four or five feet wide, oil round
the outside Next to this a walk then one
or two broad cross walks, and then reserve
the rest for beds and walks, as crops and
circumstances shall dictate Make up your
mind How to have a good garden this year ;
and in our next article we will try and tell
you how TO start the esrly vegetables and
seeds in cheap and simple manner.

Mr.. EDITOR: In one Of your late

because it might be regarded as con-
