A Garden the Year Round.

q
following is another chapter, which we
take from a recent issue of his valuable
paper, the Mobile Register:
Corn for late roasting-ears may be
planted in the coast country throughout
the month of July. Okra will also come,
but if this was planted in former months
according to our direction there will be
no need of planting it now, as the crop
already growing will continue bearing till
stopped by FROST. Tomatoes should be
started for a fall crop, also Irish potatoes.
Ruta bagas and turnips will be in order
all through the month. Mustard for late
greens may be sown toward the latter
part of the month.
Great care should be taken in prepar-
ing the ground for the July planting. 1t
should be worked deep and extremely
fine, as clods would not do well in dry and
hot weather, especially while the plants
are very youEg. Then, all the finer seeds
will require special care at the putting in.
They must go into a very fine mold, be
covered little deeper than would have
been necessary earlier in the season, and
the ground must be ''firmed" over them;
that is packed down either with a heavy
roller or by some other means. Some
persons attempt to firm the ground by
patting it with the back of a spade. This
is not enough-it must be packed more
closely over the seeds than can be done
by the means mentioned. In case where
there is not great deal of firming to do
treading over the drills with the feet may
be made to answer a very good purpose.
stamp it down.
This frming must not be neglected at
the putting in of small seeds for July-if
it is most of the seeds will fail to come up,
especially if the season happens to be a
little dry. Our directions for garden
the year round do not take artificial wa
tering into consideration, but propose to
show how the vegetables can be raised
without it, The great trouble about wa
tering garden without a regular irriga-
tiOn system of some kind lies in the fact
that the person who undertakes it is not
apt to keep it up regularly. 1t requires a
great deal of water to do q garden much
good and where this is to be drawn from
a well, or obtained in some other incon-
venient way, it soon becomes a heavy
tax, and is, therefore, liable to be neg
lected The garden that has been put un-
der the effect of watering does worse when
the watering is neglected than it would
have done had it not been watered at ALL
Deep preparation ofthe soil, and thorough
stirring in the after culture to prevent
crusting, is the best system to depend
upon outside of regular irrigation.
Colonel Daniel bennett, agricultural
editor of the New Orleans Picayune, gives
us plan for raising the late crop oflrish
potatoes, which, considering the author
ity, may be relied on as good one. He
instructs us to select our seed potatoes
from the earlier crop, SO soon as thor
oughly ripe, and bed them out after the
manner of bedding out sweet potatoes
for draws, with the exception that they
are to be covered by fine litter only to
the depth of about one foot The kind OF
litter that would be best is not stated,

OUR BRICK YARDS.

The following extract from letter
written by Geo. Anderson brorther of S.
w. Anderson shows how our brick works
strike an outsider. Mr. Anderson is
editor of the Montana Register. and the
letter from which this is an extract is
published IN that paper
We remained one day in the beautiful
city of Austin, which contains popula-
ton of oyer 5000 inhabitants. It is
situated one hundred miles south of
St. Paul, in one Of the most productive
agricultural sections of southern Mime
sofa. Like Bozeman, it has never had a
boom, but it's growth is steady and per
manent. 1t Will soon become city 1O, 900
inhabitants. The rapid settlement and
development of the extensive agricultural
area which surrounds it, as we'll as the
numerous manufacturing enterprises
which -constantlv being established
and inaugurated there make such result
almost an absolute certainty. At this
point, brick of superior character is
being manufactured. The CLAW, from
which the brick is made, is the best that
has ever come under our observation
The clay is near the surface and is of
greath depth. There is strata of white
Cldy, WHICH, Is huOWu as uTt Clay, anu uQ-
derneath this is thick strata of red clay.
The process of manufacture is vastly su-
perior to the ordinary method, such as
obtains in Bozeman and elsewhere. The
clay is dug out of the pit and piled up on
the surface of the ground to dry. The
machinery or plant for the manufacture
of brick cost some $40, 900, and has been
in operation for more than year. When
the clay has been dried to certain ex
tent, it is ground beneath two revolving
mill stones. 1t is then carried to an up

gravel or stone is separated from it. The
fine clay or rather dry dust, is then run
into the moulds prepared for 1t. The

is as dry and fine as flour. It is then
subjected to pressure of one hundred
tons to each brick, and when: taken from
the mould the brick is hard and perfect,
and weighs six pounds each. They do
not have to be dried as in the ordinary
process, but are placed at once in the
brick kiln and burnt IN the usual way.
AS already intlmated, the brick thus
manufactured IS very superior arti-

cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. This
IS the kind of brick which ought to be

Ii is Virtually Nu!Iified by Persons
Operating Under Second Hand Deal
ers' Licenses.


The first case tried under the new pawn
brokers law was heard in the Police Court yes
terday afternoon and the result was virtually u
victory for the pawnbrokers. The defendant
was Grafton Wiley of the firm of Gross Il
Wiley, formerly pawnbrokers ON street.
When the new law went into operation the rate
OF interest was so small that instead Of taking
out the usual license as pawnbrokers they took
out license as secondhand dealers, on which
they could buy and sell goods. In their place
was pasted placard giving the information
that all goods purchased were kept ninety
days.
The prosecution called David Remmel. who
testified that he sold coat at the defendants
place for 81 and when he went for it he was
charged S2.25, or 10 cents in excess of the old
pawnbrokers rate.
The case was taken to court by Inspector
Block for the purpose of having the matter
settled
Judge Miller, in disposing of the case, said
that the pawn shops had beena great benefit to
the community. and the court was going to
construe the law literally. The pawnbrokers,
or secondhand dealers. as they now are have a
perfect right to purchase goods and afterward
sell them back to their former owners, but the
sign displayed, the judge thought implied that
the sale was not bona fde one; that there was
an understanding between the parties. For
that reason the court held the defendant guilty
and suspended sentence. Mr.. Wiley can now
take down his sign and continue his business.
