Have a Garden.

Why do not farmers in general pay
more attention to the garden? Some
we know do appreciate the luxury of a
good garden, but the most do not.
They think they have no time to attend
to it. The corn and wheat and rye
fields must not be neglected, they say,
"Let the women attend to the cabbage
patch" Now this wrong. Why should
farmer deprive himself of vegetable
luXuries such as city people and those
living in the vicinity of cities indulge
in? 1t is not to the country we would
go if our appetites were craving early
vegetables. These will first be found
in the markets of the city, the prOduc-
tions of gardeners who live within a
few miles of the market. We venture
to say it would rebound more to the
health, happiness and profits of many a
farmer if he would cultivate half q
dozen acres less of corn, and devote the
time to the management of a two acre
garden than to pursue the course he
does. Try it. Select two acres conve
nient to the house. Lay it off so that
the walks will run in one direction only
from end to end. One central walk
may be enough. This will enable you
to plOw from end to end without stop
ping, and to soon break up the whole
area. Then lay three-fOurths of it off
in rows three feet apart as your judg
ment may dictate. Before the ground
is touched however, it ought to be
manured just as heavy as your stock OF
manure will admit of. Had the spot
been selected last fall, and had it been
well bestrewed with leaves, ashes, black
mud from sWampy places, chip manure,
barnyard manure, vegetable mold from
the woods, or other matter of the kind,
it would have been far better. How
ever, it is too late now. Next fall recol
lect the idea and work upon it.
In the rows wide apart put potatoes,
early corn, early peas, beans, Okra, eel
cry, pepper, tomatoes, cabbage, etc.
i'll others, beets, carrots, early turnlps,
lettuce, onions, parsnips, radlshes, sal
sify, strawberries, etc.
But one point we must not forget.
There ought to be strip six feet wide
selected, running through the garden
and parallel with the rows. Let a
ridge be plowed up in the middle Of
of this for the reception of cucumber,
melon, pumpkin and squash seeds. 1t
may be best to have two or more of
these wide strips.
Be sure to have everything arranged
so that you can plOW between the rows
from end to end. If you are near a
market you can, with good management
and plenty of manure, make more off
these two acres than you can off any
six acres in your fields, besides having
plenty to eat and q good variety.

Brains and Business.

The English papers are agitated by
the discovery that the Germans are
rapidly gaining ground in many of the
branches of industry in England, while
| in the matter of commercial cOmpeti-
| tion they are carrying off the palm in
| Africa, China, and Japan. It begins to
look as though the German is to be the
successful manufacturer and merchant
of the future. His victory in arms is
only a premOnition of q more signal
| triumph in the broader field of indus
trial and commercial enterprise. The
success of the Germans in the recent
| war with France was largely owing to
the superior intelligence and training
of the German soldiers. The German
bayonets thought. 1t was the German
schoOlmaster who gained the victory
over the ignorant and unframed peas
antry of the empire. But the school
master trains something else besides
sharpshOoters. He makes something
else besides thinking bayOnets; and the
superior skill, knowledge of details,
industry, patience, and prudence of the
German mechanic and trader tell de-
cidedly in their favor in all the cOmpeti-
tions of industrial life.
The fact is unquestiOnable. Whether
it is fact to be regretted is open to
question. Perhaps the mercantile
supremacy of England has had it's day,
and had better be superseded by that
of another race. However that may be,
we have much to learn from the Ger
man people. The rapid strides they
have made in various Industrial direc-
tions should lead us to study well their
methods, and imbibe something of their
spirit. It is we'll to consider one point
which has been brought out by the
English writer's, 1t is the superior
thrift and economy of the German
population. The English waste. The
Germans save. The English have en-
terprise, The Germans have economy.
The English do things in costly way.
The Germans succeed by their frugality.
The contrast between Americans and
Germans il this respect is still more
marked. We trust for success almost
entirely to enterprise. 1t is dash, 1t
is audacity. It is large sales and small
profits. And this implies waste, great
deal of poor work, and loss of material
and Of power by friction. In the long
run thrift wins. Enterprise is the more
brilliant, but prudence, industry, thrift,
patient plodding gain in the end. The
Germans have q superior mastery of
details. They are among our best
workmen. They put their brains into
thoroughness. They lay the foundation
Of success and prosperity in complete
mastery of methods and all the little
incidents ON which great enterprises
succeed. The German clement of our
population to-day is really quite the
most promising in mechanical and mer-
camille departments, and has the prom
Use of brilliant future before it. And
we shall gain much in every respect if
we learn the lessons these thoroughly
trained, prudent, and persevering pee-
pie are so competent to teach. =
