Tilling the Garden.
The advantage of long. straight rows and
horse culture in the garden, with end-spaces
or grass wide enough to turn on, has been
repeatedly pointed out; the labor-saving
thus secured can hardly be overestimated.
Mr.. Philbrick has learned this useful fact
from experience, and hence the following
advice in the Nev- Eng land Farmer: IF
the owner does not keep horse, it will
pay him to hire one for the purpose, if he
fills only one-fourth acre patch, rather
than to do the work with fork and hoe,
Such crops as can be titled to best advant-
age by the horse are potatoes, peas, corn,
squashes, cucumbers, melons, celery, cab
bage, asparagus, rhubarb and some others.
The early peas will usually be followed with
best advantage the same season by squashes,
cabbage or turnips; the early corn by tur-
nips; the early potatoes by celery, sqtashes
or cabbage. Celery requires very strong,
rich land, which will be best adapted to
potatoes or onions as early crops. There
are, however, many garden crops which re-
quire close planting for profit, and very
heavy manuring. Such crops should be
grown only on soil free from stones, SO that
the tillage can be done readily with scuffle
hoe. These are onions, beets, radishes,
lettuce, garden green's. etc., followed by
celery. squashes, melons or spinach"
