How to Get Early Garden Crops

There are many ways of getting early
crops, or of trying to get them, such as
starting the plants in the house or hot.
bed, and covering them with glass, ect.
after they are set out. But when these
methods are not adopted, there is still a
chance TO have early vegc tables and a
good garden. 1t is simply to select the
warmest and driest soil, and SOW or
plant early. 1t 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 small
scale, we can well afford to run a little
risk of i9s'ins seed by TOO ee-l,g
ing. One thing however should 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 If the
first sowing succeeds, you are so much
ahead; if it fails, you have lost only
the seed and your labor. You can well
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 those we may men
ton peas, cabbage, caulillower, spin
ach, onion, lettuce celery, beet, carrot.
parsnip, ect. 1t is seldom that these
crops are hurt by early frost. Last
year frost in May destroyed many
cabbage plants, but this is very unus-
ual occurrence. Among the crops
which we should re-sow without wait
ing to see if the first sowing will escape
are beets, radishes, cabbage, cauli-
flower, beans and sweet corn. -Am.

Az was expected, both houses of the

10 remaina, therefore, for the Jury TO

there was malice or negligence, the de-

no malice, nor no negligence, then,

GOOD WORK WELL DONE,

The City Council at its Monday nighta
session performed q good act, and dii
wise piece OF legislation, In passing the
ordinance repeating the ordinances
leyylng special assessment tax on
property located on Walnut streetand In
Central Sewer District No, 8, to pay for
the construction Of the Walnut street
storm water sewer, and providing In
stead for the payment OF lts cOnstruc'
ton out Of the general sewer fund, az
oil other improvements Of like charac'
tor have been paid for. The vote on the
passage Of the ordinance was q unani'
nous one, and showed the Council to be
In harmony with public opinion In gen
eral on thia important question.
The city In the Arst place by its own
actp, az MIR, Roberts clearly showed In
his sound argument on behalf Of the
repeating ordinance, was directly re-
sponqible for the deplorable condition Of
affairS which 30. long existed on Wal
nut street-now happily obllterated by
the completion Of the sewer, or drain, ~
some prefer TO call it--and II was clear
ly the duty Of the city To furnish the
remedy necessary for the relief
Of people living and owning prop
erty along athe line Of the street.
The once unsightly and un-
healthy condition OF Walnut street
was not, brought about through the
natural rainfall on the street. but was
the effect Of draining large section Of
the city's territory into that thorough
fare, by means Of sewers constructed by
the city, and paid for out Of tho general
sewer fund.
A large number Of storm water sewers
have been constructed all over the
city, which have all been paid for out Of
the general sewer fund, with no thought
Of any special assessment, aud II wes
clearly q piece OF rank injustice to
single out Walnut street, whose beauty
and usefulness had been oil but destroy.
cd by the citys acts, on which TO levy
q special assessment for an improve
ment which II was the rightful duty OF
the city TO make,
But all's we'll that ends WE'LL and
although Mr., Adler may think the Wal
nut street storm water sewer fraud, as
he has several times ignorantly and
dogmatlcally endeavOred TO make him

lent piece Of work, and Ia performing its
duty In an admirable manner, 10 the

AssININE CRITICISM.
