GARDEN CALENDAR FOR May
Beans, snap, Lima, and Sewee plant;
cabbage sow for winter; cauliAower
and broccoli SOW, though they may be
difficult to preserve; lettuce sow in
drills to head; it cannot be relied en-
at this season, and small salading
should be provided; radish, SOW the
yellow turnip-rooted and summer
white, if any; spinach sow, but it will
soon shoot; melons, cucumbers, and
squashes may be put in; corn, sugar,
and evergreen sugar, plant for sue
cession; peppers and tomatoes SOW for
plants to set out for later crops; sweet
potato sprouts set ont in suitable
weather. Where water is Of easy ap-
plication, it may answer to apply it,
otherwise it hardly pays the cost of
the labor Under burning sun wa
ter should not be given directly; it is
better to apply it between rows of
plants, they will thus supply them
selves without the liability to scald.
The weeds are now striving for the
aseendeney, and even the active gar
dener viii have his bands full; his only
hope is in keeping them down while
they are yet young. Such treatment
will also benefit the crops, which, if
once choked, seldom fully recover.
1t is the fear of things which never
happen that causes half the misery
from which we suffer.

Have not aspirations high!
Thsn Why should 90 suffer wrong!
Why sat upon BY men am u
Why limit suffrage to pants, vest and coat!
Why should not silks and cotton vote!
Men call me IN angel, swear I'm blesi,
Pure as . maiden ballot-box;
And yet I'm rot correctly dressed
When would utter Jsniiaa ro<,
The very paper have on today,
forbids my suffrage now Away.
And thon hast voted! Write TO me,
And tell me what the people said,
When thou walkedst up. I'D like TO SEQ
Just how thou lookedst from heel TO head,
For I regard thee more than human,
p. ST. hope you didn't vote for q woman.
