few evenings ago carriage drew up in

lull suspicion, the gallant colonel got
his guitar and sat out on his balcony
singing. Under the cover of this diver

FRANKLIN county, O.-AlF. Editor.
The wheat in Ohis, as Ear as I have
noticed and learned, Is lady damaged
by the freezing and thawing of March,
which continued into April. Very
much of the wheat was Sown late, and
this is what suffered the most; bat on
ali lands that are well.drained there
will lie good crop. Much OF the
wheat will bp piowed. up and planted in
corn. Tie fruit buds have been Kept
by the cod. We look for plenty Of
fruit of all kinds this year; the buds are
all right so far. There has been con-
siderable blowing done for corn. The
hard freezing last winter has been OF
great benefit to the land; it breaks up
very loose and mellow. Stock OF all
kinds has wintered we'll and selling at
good prices. On q recent visit to Kansas
and southwest Missouri, noticed that
the wheat through central Indiana and
Illinois was badly damaged, but in
Missouri it looked much better, espe-
cially in the southwest part, and large

Garden Hints.

This is the time to SOW aud plant the
general garden crops of the season. No
time should be lost in doing so, as it Is
supposed that 10y this period the warm
growing weather has fairly set in and
that we are not likely to be visited by
severe frosts. Lima and bush beans
can be planted; Early York Cabbage
set out Horn Carrot, Cabbage-Lettuce
10 be followed at the end of the month
with India or Curled Lettuce, which
stands the summer heat better. Toma-
toes may be transplanted, but should
be protected against cool nights, rs well
as by day from the midday sun, until
they become established. Celery should
be sowed not later than this week.
Keeping down the weeds and stirring
the soil are indispensable to any crop
in the garden or field. Especially
should the weeds be constantly rem"V-
ed from the Strawberry-Deds.
Young Asparagus-beds should never
be sailed, rs it is death to thcm-not

ground in the Raspberry beds, if you
wish an additional supply of plants, as
the Young shoots are now beginning to
show themselves. If the beds are
mulched it should be done with care,
that The young plants may not De IN

The third crop OF Sugar-C Orn should
he planted by the 10th Of thus month.
The seed should be put in dry If the
weather is moist, and soaked few
hours IL the soil i rather dry.
Okra should not lie planted before The
middle Of the month. The seed Is very
liable to rot in moist weather before it
has sprouted. Plant the seed not, over
six inches in the row, and then remove
when few inches |proutcd the super
fluffy Of plants.
The annual flower. seeds should now
be sown up to.the middle of the month.
The soil should he made rs line aad
mellow as possible. The seed should be
lightly raked under and the bed lightly
pressed with the back OF the spade.
Mark each variety with small stake,
which can be easily done by splitting it
at the top and sticking in the paper
which had contained the seed.
Lawns have had OF course their second
moving by this time, and the moving
should be repeated every ten days II
perfection is aimed at, III case there is
good growing weather. If otherwise
for want of rain, the intermissions in
the mowings may be from two to four
days longer. Keep of the lawn at all
times h eavy coats of barnyard manure
if you do not wish il to produce coarse
rank spires and show bare spots. Fer
tiliZers should always be used, and 4 1T
Tie lime every six to eight years.

be kept clear Of weeds, no matter
whether the crop has been taken from
it OF not. The presence of weeds any
where in garden, or yard showa want
