Ordinarily it is better to locate a
vegetable garden at a considerable dis.
lance from the farm buildings. The
only objection to having it several rods
from the house consists In the trouble
in walking to it for the purpose OF do
ing work or procuring vegetables for
the table. The advantages of having
it at suitable distance from the farm
buildings consists in freedom from shade
and safety from the visits of fowls.
There is no more necessity of having
fence around plat of land planted to
vegetables than one planted to potatoes
or corn. There are many advantages
in having garden-plat surrounded by
grassland, for, using the pillow, culti-
vator, or harrow on it, the horses can
turn on the grassland. The grass can
be kept short for the distance of a rod
ON each side. Nearly all vegetables
can be raised in drills to the best adj
vantage. The drills, or rows, should
run north and south, so that all the
plants will have a fair amount of sun
light. The rows should be straight so
the soil can be stirred with horseshoe
without injuring the plants. Beds are
only desirable for raising herbs and
other small plants. Walks are unneces.
sary and their care calls for large
amount of labor Chicago Times.
