made very satisfactory progress. There
are 80 names on the roll, and the average
attendance during the past month was 26.
There has never been public school in the
neighborhood prior to this year, and the
4ood attendance of children indicates g
general and commendable interest in ed
ucation on the part of the people. The Lake
and Galyez schools, the latter taught by
Mr.. Walter g. Herman, will remain open
until October, Is their session did not com
meuce until several weeks after that of the
other schools of the parish. A new school
house is to be erected at Galvez and the
work would have been completed by this
time but for the fact that a difference of
opinion arose i'll the community Is to the
proper location for the building. This diff
ticulty is about to be adjusted, we learn
and it is expected that work on the new
school-house will be begun at an early day.

he would cuddle up to the girl in

berry plants 'just to keep the wo

due time part of the seeds and al

ed man hoes the garden while the

Haying comes in now, and the far
mer can't stop for such small bust
ness as gardening, but after haying
he will "clean up that garden" he
tells his wife. Weeds and bugs
and hens are more than match fol
this good woman, though the pole
beans climb above the smothering
weeds and make partial crop, and
there would have been sweet corn il
the red heifer had not broken in
and eaten 1t. After the meadows are
cut, farmer and hired man spend
TWO days in chopping out weeds
and pulling ''pussley" from the
Strawberries, when they both agree
that "a garden is more trouble
than its with" and leave it for the
season. And they are right.
Farmer "up-to- the-times' has his
garden plot at one side of a
three acre moving. 1t is longer
than wide, and contains nearly
three-fOurths of an acre, with good
head lands left on either end. He
secures the best of seed, manures
and fits his ground thoroughly, and
plants entirely in long rows run
ming north and south. He plants
for a succession, and occupies the
spare moments of many days this
way, that he may enjoy long sea
son of fresh vegetables and fruits.
Then the cultivatOr and wheel hoe
are put to work and kept at work,
and little hand wedding is necessa
ry. 1t is a pleasure to care for the
garden, for the return is so bounti-
full. The farmers wife thinks a
pleasant walk for a basket of vege-
tables preferable to a backache from
weed pulling. Strawberries, rasp-
berries, asparagus, celery, all the
best fruits and vegetables supply
the farmers table through the sea
son, and many a dollars worth finds
its way to market in the farm wag-
on. This farmers loves his garden
and be knows it pays,-pays in a
double sense, for he says that his
care of small things of a garden
has taught him the principle that
underlies his success in general
farm management,-painstaking
thOroUghness and attention to de
tail, doing the right thing at the
right time, and keeping ahead of
his work. So he says with empha-
sis, "a good garden is the best
thing on the farm" And he is
right.

Seeding to Grass


Our greatest need now is, to grow
more grass not more acres, but more
to the acre, leaving a larger area of
groand for fodder and other crops
raised on mixed farm. This can on
ly be done by better preparation OF the
soil, and better seeding. Instead Of
throwing the seed in a haphaza I'd way
upon the hard, weather beaten urface
of the ground in the spring, the seed
ing should be postponed until the grain
is cut and harvested. The soil is then
to be plo wed with a shallow furrow,
thoroughly we'll narrowed, and made
ane and compact. The seed must be
sown, and Immediately brushed in with
the smoothing and brush harrow, which
is easily made. This levels and firms
the soil, as well as spreads and covers
the seed. 1t is we'll to use this harrow
crosswise of the harrow marks and
across the line of sowing, so as to
spread the seed more evenly. Itis bet
ter still to SOW the seed both ways, half
each way, if the sOwer is not able to
spread it quite evenly. The even SOW
ing is very important, because bare
spaces are great injury in two ways /;
one, that the ground is vacant and Will
produce weeds in the bare spots; the
other, that the grass is too crowded
where it is too thickly sown. Grass
seed, If sown as here direc ted, will
start up quickly and grow rapidly; if
the seeding is done in July or early in
August, the young grass will be strong
enough enough to resist the winter
safely, and q heavy crop will be the re-
sult.-American Agriculturist.
