The sooner work is begun in the gar
den the better it will be for those who are
compelled to practice economy the present
year. A good garden is one-half the hat
tie for the subsistence of family. These
should be looked to now, as the weather
gives good opportunity, and the hired
man, mechanic or others who have little
patch upon which to plant potatoes, beans,
cabbages, etc., can raise enough to save
good many dollars during the next year.

To Take the Rust off Plowshare.-
Take quart of water and pour slowly
into half pint of sulphuric acid. The
mixture will become warm from chemical
action; put it on the iron and let it remain
there until it evaporates. Then wash it
again. The object of this is to give the
acid time to dissolve the rust. Now wash
with water, and you will see where the
worst spots are. Apply some more acid,
and rub on those spots with brick. The
acid and the securing will remove most of
the rust. Then wash the mold-board
thoroughly with water to remove the acid,
and rub it dry
