Many persons plant all their
rardcn-sceds At one time. 1t Is
not the right way. II gives one
~ feast OF q famine" Takc green
peas. There should be enough
planted to give the family a supply
while they are in season for eating,
which Is about two weeks. When
that season Is over q new supply
should be coming on, fresh and
tender, to last two weeks longer,
and when they are gone a new
supply should be coming on, and
thus continuing all summer. The
same should. be the case with green
corn and many other table vcgcta-
bles. by planting garden seeds
every two weeks throughout the
spring and early summer nice
fresh vegetables may be put on the
table every day. II is true il takes
little more carc and labor and
wa,chfulness to do all this, but thcr
il pays. Farmers and their wive,
and their boys and girls work
hard, have hearty apostles, de.
serve good things to eat, and they
can have them and enjoy them
they wish to. But it takes a it'll,
more work.
BY and by there will be com
plants about loss Of lambs by III.
disease known rs the pale disease
paper-skin, anemia, bloodlcss
ness, cough, ;husk, hoose, etc, an,
persons will be inquiring, Wha
shall we do to save our lambs
Here is another serious ,roubl
which has a most SIMPLE remedy
All tha, is required is to keep III
lambs on from pastures where oil
sheep have run, The old shcc
void N their dung myriads Of egg
Of Me worms (thread-worm.
S,rongylus flaria), which cause /
the lambs this disease with 5,
many names. The eggs adher
TO the grass and are taken into III
lambs stcmachs, or they are ais
taken in with water that is drank
and FROM the stomach the worn
proceed to the intestines, causin
trouble there, or ascend the gull
and pass into the windpipe an
descend INTO the air passages an
the lungs.
Several years ago there W,
much said about growing potato,
under straw, and We published
the time several reports from tho
who had tried the neihod wi
success. Interest in the subie
appears to be renewed, to jud,
from inquiries. The method
very simple. The land is prcpa

rows marked of; the sets a
dropped along the rows and We
slightly, or no, at all, cover,
with soil. The whole field or b,
Is then covered with eight or I,
inches thickness of old stra'
Nothing more is required nm
digging time unless some stror
weeds should make their W
through the straw, and these M
be pulled. IL is claimed that /

much handsomer than those ire
