very much absorbed with Fair mat
ters. We have agricultural papers
enough, but their circulation in many
of the farming towns is very limited.
What we want is farmers club in
every town or buiness center, where
farmers come to market, or to get
their supplies, that they may have OPP
portunity for conference, for an hour
or two, on some topic previously an
nounced, and occasional exhibitions
of fruits and vegetables, during the
summer and fall. In this way, the best
farmers, with their reading, expert
ments and methods, would be brought
in close contact with those who are in
the background. and the business of
farming be made far more attractive
and profitable. Our census statistics
for the last thirty years show steady
driftof our population toward the
cities and villages. These gain at the
expense of the agricultural towns. The
school house and church in many OF
them are half emptcd. There is no
remedy for this decadence but in the
gospel of husbandrv, taught and illus
trated 10y the farmers themselves,
who should exalt their own calling. -

How to Get Early Garden Crops.

There are many ways of getting
early crops, or of try ing to get them,
such as starting the plants in the house
or hot-bed, and covering them with
glass, etc, after they are set out But
when these methods are not adopted,
there X still chance to have early
vegetables and a good garden. 1t is
simply to select the warmest and dri.
est soil, and SOW or plant early. 1t is
not desirable or wise to SOW or plont
the main crops before the soil is in
good working condition. But for q
few early crops on small scale, we
can well afford to run little risk of
losing our seed by to early sowing.
One thing however should not be over
looked. Do not depend on this early
sowing, but SOW or plant again lit
tie later when the soil and weather
are more favorable. If the first SOW
ing succeeds, you are so much ahead;
II 1T 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
rlsk. Among these we mention peas,
cabbage, caulll'ower. spinach, onions,
lettuce, celery, beet, carrot, parsnip.
etc. 1t is seldom that these crops are
hurt by early frost. Last year frost
in May destroyed many cabbage plants
but this is very unu ual occurrence.
Among the crops which we should re.
SOW without waiting to see If the first
sowing will escape, are beets, radish-
es, cabbage, caulitlower, beans and
sweet corn
