THE VEGETABLE GARDEN
WORK FOR MARCH.

AsrARAGUs-Seed may be sown for
plants and old beds forked up lightly
and dressed with manure and salt.
CABBAGE AND CAULIFLowERs from
cold frames may be planted out. The
soil should be rich, and the plants fire.
quently hoed
CELERY-The seed should be sown as
early as possible We tried last season
with much satisfaction the Dwarf Sand
bingham.
LETTUCE kept over may be planted
out, and seed sown for succession.
ONIoNs.-Seeds and sets may be
sown and planted as soon as practicable
to work the ground, which for this crop
must be rich.
PEAs-Early sorts should be sown
as soon as the soil can be worked
Make the drills deep, say for inches,
cover thinly with earth, and then put
on top good coating of fine manure.
Put the brush to the vines as soon as
they are two or three inches high, as
they take hold better
POTATOES are by some put in a hot
bed to sprout; and it is usually con
sidered best to dry the cut surfaces by
plaster, or by keeping in warm room
for day or two. Plant early on good,
peaty soil.
RADIsHEs may be sown in succession.
They like light soil.
Satisfy should be sown early, in
drills, say l6 inches apart. Work early.
HAVE your tools in order, seeds ready,
and everything prepared, that there
may be no delays at planting time.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1876-03-18

EARLY PLANTING-In the haste to
get forward with spring work, there is
always the temptation to plant before
the ground is really ready for it; that
is, while it is vet wet and cold. In
some things, such as corn, it is now
well-understood that nothing is made
by putting the seed in till the ground
is dry. The young plants get yellow
and sickly, and the later-sown seed gets
ahead of it in time; but it is as true of
everything as of corn, even the hardest
kinds. Trees and shrubs are in the
same condition. There is nothing
gained in setting them when the ground
is wet it is far better to wait till the
season advances enough to dry the
ground. So far as the GOODNESS of the
soil is concerned, it does not make so
much difference in the case of trees :;
but the dryness of the soil is an es-
sential point.
In the case of farm or garden seeds,
very much may be done in the way of
obtaining the desired earliness by keep
ing bitches and water burrows clear, so
that water may drain easly away 1t
is no unusual sight to note on farms
generally well kept the little water
courses, opened by the pillow in the fall,
almost full from the thawing earth
through the winter season, and which
very little work would correct. Very
often all this might be done by few
hours work, and this would result in
many cases in having land a week or
two advanced. This is not much so
far as mere time is concerned, but it is
great deal in the spring, both in get
ting work ahead and in giving the crop
a start

WHAT SHE REMEMBERED.-''A
woman once went home from church
praising the sermon, and some one said
to her:
Where was the text?
"She had forgotten.
Well, what do you remember?'
"Oh! said she, I remember to burn
up my halfbushel'
"She kept store, and had used a
false measure. She had heard a good
sermon"
That was indeed good sermon. 1t
was much better for the woman to do
this than to remember text, sermon and
all, and keep the false measure. Re-

sY A poor supplemented African
once went to Mr.. Moffat, the missionary,
and told him, with lugubrious face,
that his dog had torn his copy of the
New Testament, and swallowed some
leaves of it, and that he was grieved
about it, for the dog was very valuable
But" said the missionary, "why do
you grieve so? You can get another
Testament, and the leaves will not hurt
the dog "Ah.' said the little savage,
that's what | fear. He is a good
hunter and good Watchdog, and the
New Testament is so full of gent!eness
and love that | am afraid he will never
be of any service again y

LITTLE TEMPTATIoNs-John New
ton says: =" Satan seldom comes to a
Christian with great temptations, or
with temptation to commit great
sin. You bring green log and can
die together, and they are very safe
neighbors but bring a few shavings
and set them alight, and then bring a
few small sticks and let them take fire,
and the log be in the midst of them,
and you will soon get rid of your log
And so it is with little sins You will
be startled with the idea of committing
a great sin, and SO the devil brings you
a little temptation, and leaves you to
indulge yourself There is no great
harm in this, no great peril in that :
and so by these little chips we are first
easily lighted up, and at last the green
log is burned. Watch and pray that
We enter not into temptation.

A word of kindness is seldom spoken
in vain 1t is seed which, even when
dropped by chance, springs up flower
would never desire better proof
of false teacher than fatterv. True
meaning has no need to uphold itself
by soothing
Some one, feeling that actions are
better than words, has said: We read
of the actions of the apostles, but never
of their resolutions"
While Moses was tending his sheep,
God appeared to him. God never graces
the idle with his visions: when he
finds US in our callings, we find him in
the tokens of his mercy.
There are today many moaning
Christians in the world who are perpet-
ually wishing themselves in heaven,
while they ought to thank God that they
are still on earth, where they can work
for him.
Were it not for the searching drought,
we should not appreciate the refreshing
shower With less conflict, we would
have less victories with less trial,
less joy
Humbleness of mind is gained more
by believing in Christ than by dwelling
upon our sins. When we see the (" K ing
in his beauty we have little desire to
behold our own deformity.
The fields in many parts have WIS.,
tied are white unto harvest, so that
sometimes | have wished that | might
have the life of Methuselah, or that
the sun might never go down, that
might do my share of that great work
which is to be done in these nations.
1t is not work that kills men; it is
worry. Work is healthy; you can
hardly put more upon a man than he
can bear Worry is rust upon the
blade 1t is not the revolution that
destroys the machinery, but the friction
Fear secretes acids but love and trust
are sweet juices.

A LEssoN-A little girl who had
witnessed the perplexity of her mother
on certain occasion when her forti-
tude gave way under severe trial, said !:
d" Mother, does God ever fret or scold -
The query was so abrupt and star
Ting, it arrested the mothers attention
almost with a shock
"Why Lizzie, what makes you ask
that question ~
why, God is good-you used to
call Him the Good Man, when | was
little-and l should like to know if he
ever scolds? ?"
"No, Child, no.
"Well, l am glad he don't, for scold-
ing always makes ME feel so bad, even
if it is not me in fault / don't think
that / could love God much if He
scolds.

KINDNESS IN LITTLE THINGS

KINDNESS IN LITTLE THINGs.-The
sunshine of life is made up of very
little beams, that are bright all the time.
In the nursery, on the playground, and
in the schoolroom, there is room all the
time for little acts of kindness that cost
nothing, but are worth more than gold
or silver To give up something, where
giving up will prevent unhappiness to
yield, when persisting will chafe and
fret others to go little round, rather
than come against another; to take an
i'll word or cross look, rather than
resent or return it-these are the ways
in which clouds and storms are kept off,
and pleasant smiling sunshine secured
even in the humble home, among poor
people, as in families in wealthier homes.
Much that we term the miseres of life
would be avoided by adopting this rule
of conduct.
