Keep your ground always employed;

4 Good Gartlen...HOw to Have 1t,

Every farmer and housewife knows
the great help good garden is to the
family. January is the month to begin
to insure success; as early in January
as practicable lay your garden off in
three and four feet rows, by running
one furrow as deep as you can with
good double plow. Run another furrow
in same, throwing dirt both ways, then
take subsoil or bull tongue and run as
deep as you can in same furrow. Now
you are ready for manure. Put any
kind in, compost, stable manure, cotton
seed, the scrapings of the yard aud lot,
fill this furrOw half full; throw furrow
from each side of this drill ON the ma
nure, run one-hOrse harrow twice on
this ridge, scatter more manure in the
furrow made by covering the first ma
nure scattered, and cover with another
furrow; let your ground thus prepated
stand until you are ready to plant, then
plow out solid and harrow nearly level.
Okra should be planted four feet by
two; English peas four feet apart; pole
beans four feet, in drills; all the crowder
variety of peas three feet drill; mustard,
Irish potatoes, beets, carrots, spring tur-,
nips, egg plant, cabbage, tomatoes, may
all be planted in three feet beds. Some
Of the different yegatables should be
thinncd to from efgnt1nches to two feet
in the drill. Plant the early varieties
OF corn, three feet by two, as early in
February as the ground will permit.
Plant every tWOweeks for succession,
until Juiy. Your garden is now plant
cd with all theryarieties of vegetables
you desire TO cultivase. raue ..a.l"a =!
Your vegetables up ready, for cultiva-
ton, your first work in cultivation is to
nasnlau ons-hexsefsle ;t,afsiivicrext
the row very shallow, ,NkfSwihg dift IN
to the middle. If the miadles are not
sufficiently covered UP, run IA small cul-
uVator or harrow twice in each row,
thoroughly pulverizing the soil and
covering all weeds. IT will now be ne
cessary to go over the entire garden
with the hoe, giving the different plants
their proper distance. At'.}.l5
With this mode of cultivation one
man with one steady horse (after the
ground is once broken) can have most
excellent garden at small outlay Of Ia
bor, one-half day once week, with
horse and plow, one hour each day, will
keep half acre garden in perfect order
