THE FARMERS GARDEN,
what Kinds of Vegetables to Plant, and
When and How.


When and How.
At the meeting OF the Illinois State
Horticultural Society recently, u com
mittce consisting of j. M. Pearson, II.
l.. Doane and s. w. Mcclure was. ap-
pointed TO present report on this SUBJ
ject. 1t is as follows:
Presuming that the ground is in
good tilth, next spring select u spot
well drained and with u southern ex-
posure. Plant as soon as the ground
can be worked, radishes, and lettuce
following the radishes at intervals OF
ten days. At the same time plant the
earliest pea. 1t is probably best to use
varieties, say Landreth's Extra Early
and follow it in u few days with Ameri-
can Wonder, and these again with one
of the later wrinkled peas, though two
paintings of American Wonder are
good with some. If now bed of aspar-
agus has been started before, one is
pretty well fixed until June. Beets
(Early Egyptian) and onion sets and
satisfy can go into the ground as soon
as it will work easily. Cabbage and
tomato plants can be had in the mar
ket or of the professional gardener
cheaper and better than the farmer
can raise them. The former must be
planted early, and the latter need not
go into the ground until about the 10th
of May.
n ,NA ale ant fnn nf
kind, as it is far better to have aregu-
ular succession than superabundance
for short time and then nothing.
Bush beans and sweet corn come on
later-little is gained by very early
planting of these, as a slight frost will
set them back sadly. Lima beans we
can not do without, and are among the
last things to be planted. Do not al
low more than three plants to grow in
one hill, otherwise you will have more
vines than beans. AS fast as u crop of
any kind is harvested, clear the ground
and put in a late crop. Turnips can be
grown after peas and require but little
attention. The amount of work to be
done is so small that it will not pay to
use horse. A good deal of the work
can be done at odd times with no dam
age TO the main work. Cucumbers
and melons can be started two weeks
earlier than usual by making a minia-
ture hotbed, without frame or glass,
thus: Dig hole, one foot square,
eighteen inches deep and fill with fresh
stable manure. Sift over it three
inches of soil and then form a little pit,
with n siX-inch pot, banking the earth
around it. Remove the pot and plant
seeds in bottom of the pit and cover
with thin board, piece of tin, or
better pane of glass.
Cultivation will do wonders and
must be frequent. While the plants
are small do not let weeds show them
selves at all. Rhubarb and horse-radish
should be set out where they cam re-
main for several years and be well fed
with manure. The above will furnish
an ordinary family with abundance of
healthy vegetables and fill a gap on the
bill-of-fare so frequent on the farmers
table. Let each one talk with his
neighbors and swap items and seeds
though as rule good seeds can be as
well bought us saved.-Orange Judd
Farmer.

An OId-Time Telephone.

There are not so many new things un-
der the sun as people suppose. The
telephone has the credit of being an
entire novelty, yet Robert Hooke, two
hundred and twenty-four years ago,
wrote: ~ have by a distended wire
propogated sound to very considera-
BILE distance in an instant, or with as
seemingly quick a motion us that of
light; and this not only in straight
line, or direct. but In one bended in
many angles" Here was the inven-
tion OF the telephone right in hand, SO
to speak, only Hooke did not follow up
the lead. So the world had to wait two
centuries for the admirable instrument
which saves 80 much of humaDity's
time to day,.-Golden Days.

that during December we would begin

potatoes, tea and coffee thrown in as
staples. So December l we inaugurated
the dietary system with a bill OF fare
consisting of apples in many forms, ap-
ricots picked, asparagus, almonds, and
the staples. The next days menu was
beef, beets, beans, biscuits, buttermilk,
bacon and bon-bons The following day
we feasted on chicken, Goldfish balls

ers, carrots, canned currants, and candy.

your kidney suggestion saves us from

grow fat on liver, lamb, lobster, lettuce,

food departure is the number of things
it has led us to put into our mouths
which we never thought of before. y

McMullen's Woven Wire Fencing.

In this issue is inserted for the first time
the advertisement of the above named goods.
Woven wire fencingi is rapidly becoming the
most popular fencing. Owing to the fact
that the McMullen fencing has n twisted
wire rope selvage, instead of single wire
selvage, and that it is made of the very best
steer WIRE galvanized before weaving, IL Is
considered by stock men, railroad men and
others to be the best article of the kind now
on the market. Read their advertisement
in this issue and send to them for circulars
giving full information. They not only make
he best woven wire fencing in the United
States, but sell it at lower price.

SHEEP FOR SURETY.
Tho Safest Way of Restoring Fertility to
Worn-Out Soil.


Worn-Out Soil.
There have been many ups and
downs in the business since my boy
hood; many changes from sheep to
something else, and back again, and
many thousand sheep have been
slaughtered for their pelts and tallow
alone in times of depression, but the
men who have persistently stuck to
sheep through thick and thin, improv-
ing their flocks while others We're SELL
ing out or killing theirs, have in the
end come out ahead every time. and
have kept up the condition OF their
farms better than any other class of
farmers among us. No man acquainted
with the situation will attempt to con-
trovert this assertion. If desired to
bring back into condition a rundown
or worn-out farm / should stock it up
just as heavily as it would bear with
sheep, provided, of course, that it was
adapted to sheep.
There are places in which sheep are
pests or nuisances. But no intelligent
shepherd would pasture sheep in gar
den or among small fruits. Nor would
he turn them upon his newly seeded
clover-plots, any more than dairyman
would turn COWS into his corntield.
Historically, the sheep clearly ranks
first among useful animals, and al
though they sometimes fall into disre-
pute and carping charges are made
against them. they are bound to go up
higher in popular estimation with every
advance in human development HAIL
with pleasure the prevailing tendency
toward keeping few sheep on every
farm, whatever the predominant speci-
alty.-Q. S. Bliss, in N. Y. Tribune.

Good fer Washington.

Washington is doing wise and economic thing in abolishing the grand jury with her new constitu- tion. Probably there was a time when the grand jury was necessary and useful, but if so that time long since passed, for not in this genera tion has the inquisitorial institu- tion been serviceable in civilized communities. The grand jury does nothing that cannot be done better and easier i'll another way. Its in vestigations are always partizan, and therefore necessarily inequita- ble, and it's findings are frequently cruel and unjust. The fact that it is a secret body, conducting it's in quiries on the sly without giving the objects of Investigations an op- pOrtunity to be heard in explana- ton is sufficient to condemn the in stitution with fair-minded men.
 The costliness of the system is also another convincing argument against it's continuance. The gen tlemen who are framing the Wash ington constitution have evidently profted from their observation and experience as to this matter, and it is gratifying to know that they have the courage to sit down on an ugly which has come down from the dark ages.-Phenix Ga zette.

I1v-yEo1 JUDuEs ana CUlIocIen-
 tious jury have found right yer
 dict in the celebrated Maybrick
 poisoning case; and, notwithstand-
 ing the great amount of disgusting
 sentimeutalitY exhibited by cer-
 tain class of people and which is
 slobberingly plastered over the
 wretch who commits the crime, the
 jury in that case brought in a yer
 diet of murder in the first degree.
 People who would not even notice
 lying in a gutter, the dirty, low
 browed, black hearted. murder-in-
 clined wretch, in the ordinary every day life, will, so soon as he or she commits an heinous crime, deserving death, immediately go into spasms of sympathy over the thug, but never give a thought to the victim of in-born hellishness that lies buried forever in the cold grave. This disgusting principle in our modern human natureis un- doubtedly the outgrowth of the eleventh-hour redemption-humbug of modern christianity, which carries all death-deserving criminals straight to the capacious bosom of Father Abraham through their murdrous blood-letting, and 1 vicariously through the blood of one supposed to have expiated crime in Palestine. If the sys- .em of christian redemption is true, md all this sort of cattle go di- 'ectly to heaven, it does seem that humanity would much prefer other and more congenial associations.

William E. Graves, a New York
 banker, was recently in San Fran
 CISCO at which place he received a
 telegram from New York stating
 that the bonds of the San Diego
 and Yuma Railroad, to the extent
 of $5,000,000, had been sold. AL ready a contract has been let for
 the construction of forty miles and
 work on this contract is to be i'm
 mediately commenced. 4 direct
 railroad route from the Bay of San
 Diego eastward, will lessen the dis tance from China, Japan, Hawaii Islands, and all Asiatic ports on the Pacific, to Europe and our At lantic sea-board at least one thou sand miles. In transportation of freight and passengers a thousand miles IS no small item, and the completion of this road will give to San Diego a mercantile impor- tance second only to the Bay City along the Southern Pacific coast. The new road will be built eastward from San Diego across the Cobra do desert to Yuma, making con- nection with the Southern Pacific at that place. The completion of this new road will give the South ern Pacific Railroad people an en- try into San Diego and they will control the new road if they do not own 1t in fee-simple. Upon the consumation of the vari- 'ious railway enterprises which nave their prospective termini at San Diego, will cause that city to assume a position in the commer- :ial world second to no city on the :oast south of San Francisco.

THE Territorial Board of Equal
 izaticn, sitting at Tucson, have raised many or all the values fixed
 by the various Boards of Supervis- ors throughout the Territory. For doing this the territorial officers must be presumed to have had good reasons, and first amongst these we cite tue reductions in values" made by the Supervisors, and sec ondiy the apparent great falling off in the returned" amount of taxa ble property made by the assessors in the several counties. It is un- reasonable to suppose that there is less taxable property in the Terri tory this year than in 1888, or in the year 1887, nevertheless the assess ors' returns indicate this very state of affairs. Unquestionably the Board of Equalization had this state of our financial affairs in mind, hence, they have raised" valuations to equal those of pre- ceeding years, and in some instanc- es have gone a triflo higher than for 1888.

WE are in receipt of circular emanating from many of the prin- cipal journalists of Chicago, call ing attention of the whole country to the propriety of holding the Worlds Exposition of 1892 at the great inland city of Chicago. In the matter of health, climate, rail way facilities, ground-room, hotel accommodations, and withal a gen. eral adaptability for such an exhi tion. Chicago has no superiors and but few equals. If this forthcom- ing great show is to be one of the Worlds, why not hold it at Chica- go, and thereby compelling foreign CTS attending it to go into the great interior, thus securing a little prac- tical knowledge of the greatness of, and the boundless resources of this grandest of modern governments :? Undoubtedly then, the Worlds Ex- position of 1892 should be at Chi cago, and if not there, then at the next best site, the city of St. Louis, Missouri.
