A Garden in a Cornaeld.

Inc OlQ-1aSnlOncO Kitchen garden.
fenced in, surrounded with current
bushes and berry plants which often
spread far out toward the center, with
few bushes of peonies and here and
there a rosebush and a clump of holly
hooks, where possibly the pillow might
be used with good deal of turning and
Juggling, but 0 likely the spade with
still harder work, belongs to a by-gone
age, and savors more of penance than
Of profit. Nowadays, with the perfect
implements for planting and cultivat-
ing, gardening may be made easy. If
there is no better spot, one corner of
the cornield may be taken, and all of
the seeds be planted in rows, thickly
or thinly, according to their habit Of
growing. Let the rows extend across
the field, and if too long make part of
them corn or potatoes. The ground
need only he well prepared, as for corn,
and made fine with the harrow and
marked with a corn-marker. For the
fine seeds like lettuce, onions, etc., the
garden rake may be used to smooth the
surface along the rows.
When these seeds come up, scrape
the earth and weeds away on each side
from the young plants with a light
touch Of the hoe, and leave the row
clean. The plants will then be seen
distinctly; although small, and the Gull
tivator will mellow the ground between
the rows and destroy the weeds, and its
occasional use will do most of the
garden work. A little hand wedding
may be required in the row, if the
ground is weedy, otherwise the garden
ing may be done with a horse and Gull
tivator. Cucumbers, melons, beets and
everything may be planted after the
marker and be covered with the hoe or
the garden rake. One man in a day
can plant seeds enough for a bountiful
supply for a large family. Vegetables
and plants raised in this way will grow
faster than in a garden and mature
one A row or two may be left for
the later planting of radishes and win
ter cabbage, and meanwhile the cult
vator will keep the ground clean and
mellow.
When July comes the open spaces
between the rows of onions and lettuce,
and where vacant spots have been
made, may be strewn with turnip seed
and raked over, and so all of the ground
will be utilized. The pea-rows, later in
the season, and where the early pota-
toes grew, may. also be converted into
a turnip patch, A few extra loads Of
manure-the best rotted-plowed I'M
der where the garden is to go, will
make stronger growth; and the quicker
most vegetables grow the better the
quality. The first of June the radishes
may be put in and theywill be crisp and
tender. A little wood ashes and hen
manure, mixed together and worked
into the soil, will give vegetables a rap
i'd start. Hen manure and plaster is
also a superior fertilizer, but not quite
so active as the other. Plenty of vege.
tables are a blessing to a housewife, and
help wonderfully to surround the farm.

Dom Pedro ut the Zoo.

That bad elephant at the Zoo, Dom
Pedro, has to be chained up all the time
now. Last fall he became SO ugly in
disposition that his keepers had to
throw him down and rivet heavy chains
to his tusks, connecting them with his
fore feet. This kept him from batter
ing down the barriers of his pen, but
did not prove to be sufficient. Another
heavy chain was fastened to his fore
feet, so as to keep him in one corne of
his cage. If it were net for that, the
keeper would not be able to go into the
pen to clean it out. Once in q while
the keeper will let loose the end of the
chain that is fastened to the post in or
der to let the festive pachyderm stroll
about his ten by f~ourteen-foot Enclosure.
Yesterday, when this was done, Pedro
refused to be hitched up again, and
when the keeper tried to regain the
loose end of the chain he slapped it
about the cage in a most vicious and
threatening manner. 1t would have
been instant death if the keeper had
been struck on the head by the flying
iron links. When the beasts guardian
reached for the chain with a long pole
with a hook in the end, Dom Pedro
crafty coiled it up and stood on it.
While he was in this state Of mind it
was absolutely impossible to go within
his reach. He would have killed the
trespasser in a moment. No matter
who it was, or what force he used, that
terrible trunk would strike him down,
pick him up, and dash him to pieces.
Finally the keeper got hold of the chain
kbsy strategy and quickly wound it about
a'post, andelittle by little the huge beast
was Brought to his old place.
He is u willy little elephant, and is al
WAYS on the move, always restless, and
keeps up a continuous swaying of the
body to and fro. His pen is raised
about three feet from the floor. In the
front foundation wall of the pen is a lit
tie sliding door, by means OF which the
! water-faucct is reached. When the UNI
easy beast is thirsty he reaches over
under, unfastens the door, slides it back,
turns on the water, and lets it run into
his capacicious trunk, The water is
| then transferred to his mouth. Owing
to his bad disposition, however, he
won't close the faucet when he is
through with it. The two females in
| the next pen are very mild and gentle
in their disposition, but it is extremely
| doubtful if Dom Pedro ever leaves his
present quarters. He is but ten years
| old, is growing very fast, and Will PROB
| ably be an enormous animal e ne
reaches his full growth. -Plade

When mixed with hay and other
dry feed, parsnips are valuable for
horses and COWS, the feeding being
commenced gradually, as with roots
generally. They possess an important
advantage over other roots, in that the
crop may be safely left in the ground
all winter, as freezing does not injure
them when they thaw out in the ground,
and thus the labor of late autumn har-
vesting is avoided.-N. Y. Post.
"A supply of roots for stock feeding
purposes next winter should be taken
into consideration now. 1t is not nee
essary to vary the food of cattle as much
as that intended for man, but reason
and experience show that a change is
very desirable. The bulk of our stock
are kept or a dry feed during winters,
consisting of hay, corn stalks or straw,
with occasionally a little grain. Every
animal tires of the same Kind of food i
fed for a long time. Roots furnish the
best substance for a change. In all
parts of the country some kind of roots
can be raised for stock to good advan-
tage.-P7airie Farmer.
