HOW to Get Early Garden Crops.

There are many ways of getting early
crops, CT OF trying to get them, such as start
ing the plants in the house or hot-bed and
covering them with glass, ETC.. after they are
set cut. But when these msthods ore not
adopted there is still chance to have early
vegetables and a good garden. 1t is simply
TO select the warmest and drIest soil, and
SOW or plant early. Il is not desirable or wise
to SOW or plant the main crops before the soil
is in good working condition. But for few
early crops on a small scale, We can well az
ford to run little risk of losing our seed by
too esrly sowing. One thing, however,
sheuld not be overlooked. Do not depend on
this early sowing, but SOW or plant again
little later, when the soil and weather are
more favorable. II the fret sowing succeeds
you are SO much shea1; If IL fails, you have
lost only the seed and your labor. You can
we'll afford to run this risk. There are some
crops which can be sown the moment the
frost is out of the soil, with little or no risk.
Among these we may mention peas, cab
bage, caulifower, spinach, onion, lettuce,
celery beet, carrot, parsnip, etc. It is sell
dom that these crops are hurt by early frost
LAST year frost in May destroyed msny
cabbage plants bat that is q very unusual
occurrence. Among the crops which we
should re-sow without waiting TO see If the
first sowing will escape, are beets, raeishes,
cabbage, caulihower, beans and sweet corn.

No CrOp necessary.

Commissioner Sparks has decided, in the case
of Chester Cranmer, of McHenry county, that
1t is not necessary to have raised crop prior
to making final proof. In this case the COM
missioner reverses the general land office.
Cranmer appeared before the local land off
cars, according to law, and the evidence Of his
witnesses was to the effect that the claimant
had a good log house on his land and had ten
acres Of breaking. The proof was rejected
under the ruling of the general land Office that
cropping was necessary. The case was ap-
pealed to Commissioner Sparks, and lie has
decided that a crop is not necessary. This de-
cision will permit many new claimants who
have resided upon their land the required
period Of six months and made the usual illl-
Proyements, 10 prove up this fall and winter.
Settlers who filed upon lands during the last
spring and early summer and broke the sod
for next years crop, can now make final proof;
whereas, under the crop ruling, they must
wait until noxt fall. The new ruling will be
a god-send to many settlers, who can make
proof, borrow money and have something with
which to purchase team and seed for next
spriug.-Depips Lake Intcr-Ocedn.

There is no one thing that Injuries our coun-
try more than the present system of having all
notes and obligations falling due on the first of
October. 1t is when one should be preparing
the soil for the next years crop, but instead he
must thresh and hurry his grain to market to
meet an October obligation at time when
prices are generally the weakest and most un-
settled. Inaugurate a new system by having
all obligations come due on January first II
one's credit is good enough to reach to October
first it is certainly healthy enough to extend to
January if it is insisted upon. This will give
time to fall plow, thresh and haul the grain
when there is nothing else to do. Farmers,
you have tue power to create the change if you
will only exert it.-Keystone Optic.
