Preparing Land for a Garden,

A large proportion of farmers declare
that vegetable gardens are Improbable,
that they require large amount of work,
and make poor return for it. The
truth is many excellent farmers are very
| poor gardeners. They are experts in
raising corn, potatoes and small grains,
but they do not understand how to pro-
duce the ordinary garden vegetables.
| They think the land for a garden re-
quires no special preparation, and no
special manuring. 1t does require both.
The spot selected for garden should
he well drained, and it is well to have il
slope toward the south or southeast.
The soil should be free from weeds, and
the seeds that will produce them. Land
that has long been in cultivated crops is
not in condition for garden unless it
is very highly manfred Even then it
is likely to be Objectionable as it is like
ly to be weedy. In many respects it is
better to break piece of sod for gar
den the summer before it is planted.
The blowing should be well done and
sufficiently early to insure the rotting of
tho sod. If the spot is some distance
from the farm buildings it will not be
likely to be visited by fowls and require
no fence to protect it. A garden spot
should be literally MANFRED, and the
materials used for fertilizing should be
well rotted 1t is best to apply the ma
nure the fall before the ground is planted,
so it can be incorporated with the soil.
If the manure is spread on inverted sod
it will help rot it, while the seeds it con-
tains will terminate, and the plants
they produce can be hilled with a har-
row or other implement. Land which
requires as much labor as garden
should be very rich. 1t should receive
as much as fifty wagon-loads of stable
manure to the acre in order to be as pro-
ductive as most market gardens in the
vicinity of large cities are Chicago

"HeliO, Baby!"

M. B. Curtis and his wife have pet
parrot which is their constant travelling
companion, and which speaks, the.
Kings English with amazing fuency.
The loquacious bird caused quite panic
at the Windsor Hoteflastn ight 1t seems
that the Curtis family occupy rooms
apartments at the hotel, and last evening
as the Governor was entering his apart
ments he heard what he thought was a
female voice saying: 'Hello, babyp'
The Governor was trif1e startled. He
is very gallant man, but he could not
for the life of him imagine what he had
ever done to warrant any female in adj
dressing him so Familiarity. The saluta-
ton appeared to be intended for him,
and it came from the transom over the
door of the room directly across the
hall. The Governor was nonplussed.
"Hello, baby-pretty baby" said the
voice again and the Governor blushed
as he stroked his fierce mustache and
tried to brace up and look dignifed.
| won't you come and kiss your babyr'
called the voice again, in deliciously
seductive sort of way. Now the Gov
ernor seldom takes dare of any kind!
To do him justice he is brave man, and
at this particular moment he felt big
enough to tackle an army. He crept
softly over to the door and asked: care
you talking to meP" mice baby" said
the voice; but no sooner had the voice
spoken than another voice from in
side the room-a big, buriy man voice
called out: go away from that door,
and let the parrot go to sleep" 1t was
Mr.. Curtis who spoke, but he had no
idea it was Governor Tabor outside.
Governor Tabor slid quietly into his
room, but he thought it was such good
joke he had to tell the boys about it
after supper, and in the opera-house
lobby last night it was all the talk

Killed the Wrong Hens.

An irascible sea-Captain settled down
to Portland life by the side of we'll
tempered man, and the two got along
very well until the hen question came
up. Said the Captain;
81 like you as a neighbor, but don't
like your hens, and if they trouble me
any more I'll shoot them"
The mild-mannered neighbor studied
over the matter some, but knowing the
Captains reputation well by report, he
replied: ..... .... ...
"Well, if we can't get along any
other way, shoot the hens, but I'll take
it as favor if you will throw them
when dead over into our yard and yell
to my wife.
"All right" said the Captain.
The next day the Captains gun was
mans yard. The next day another hen
was thrown over, the next two, and the
next after three.
coudn't you scatter them along lit
tie? We really cant dispose of the
number you are killing"
"Give 'em to your poor relations"
replied the Captain, grufily.
And the quiet maj did. He kept his
neghbors well supplied with chickens
for some weeks.
One day the Captain said to the quiet
man:
- have half dozen nice hens I'm
going to give You If you'll keep quiet
about this affair."
How is that" said the quiet man.
"Are You sorry because you killed my
hensp"
Your hensp' said the Captain.
"Why, sir, those hens belonged to my
wife! didn't know she had any until
l fed you and your neighbors all sum-
mer out OF her flock. "-Portiand (Me.)

The Ripon Settlers.

The Wisconsin colony has located its
town in section %, township 2, range o.,
east. The location is most beautiful, being
situated two miles east of Young's Point,
and one mile north of the Yellowstone
river.
The colonists are going to work with q
wifi to improve the natural advantages
which lie about them; four buildings were
under way on Tuesday; one of these, Mr..
Clawson's drug store was almost completed
and he expects to have his goods for sale
within week; Messrs. Willis & Thompson
also expect t6 have their store in operation
in week. Five or six other buildings
have been contracted for, and work will be
commenced upon them so sosn as the lots
are located, which will be early next week.
Two different parties have agreed to put up
hotels in this new town so soon as they can
get lots. The colonists have already con-
tracted for well and intend to furnish
themselves with the traditional town pump.
There will be no difficulty about getting
water as the graders well in the immediate
vicinity furnishes good supply. Judging
from present indications the colonial town
is likely to be . thriving and prosperous
one.

From Clark's Fork.

Jim Ponsford, writing from Clark's Fork
mines, says that the snow has gone off very
rapidly in the last few days, and that wag-
ons can now go through to the mines with
out difficulty. No one need hesitate about
coming now. AT present there is no feed
in the vicinity OF the mines, but there is
good grass at place about twenty miles
this side, where herd of horses is being
kept. Claims that are not properly staked
out are jumped without hesitancy by the
