FARM TOPICS FOR APRIL.
ROTATION IN THE GARDEN CROPS.
Some Practical Farm PhilOsophy-orchard
And Garden Hints =. About Radishes
And Beets-Interestng Farm Notes
Valuable Household Recipes.

The garden ought to be, and generally
is the richest part of the farm, and hence
it is important to get the largest possible
product from it. One item in doing this
is to keep the ground all occupied as
nearly as possible during the growing
season. 1t is desirable not only to have
good early garden, but good garden all
through the season; and this can be done
only by planning ahead, so that as soon
as one crop is ready to be taken off an
other can be ready to take its place. Very
few garden crops are expected to mature
and ripen seeds. The greater part are
used when in a green stage, so that sec
ond crop can be planted to take the place
of the first by the time the first is ready
to begin using. OF course some plants
make much faster growth than others.
In sowing asparagus seed, turnip radish
seed can be sown at the same time, and
by the time the asparagus plants will
need the room, the radishes will be ready
for use. When the second sowing of rad
ish or lettuce is sown, tomato or cabbage
seed can be sprinkled along in rows, two
or three seed every two or three feet, in
rows far enough apart to let them stand.
By the time time these later plants will
need the room, the first crop will be ready
to use.
Early sweet corn, early potatoes and
peas will all mature early enough to admit
of setting out late cabbage or tomato
plants, or the place can be used for celery
or turnips.
1t is best in planning out the garden to
arrange so that a second crop can be
started to advantage. 1t will lessen the
work of cultivating and keeping clean, as
well as economic space, If everything in
the garden is planted in long rows, and by
planning the different varieties that are
to be planted, a much larger amount of
product can be secured than if the seed
is sown broadcast, and no special pains
are taken to arrange.
So far as possible weeds or grass should
not be allowed to mature seeds, and to
avoid this it will be necessary to give clean
cultivation. This can be done nearly or
quite as we'll with growing crop as with
out, and good crop is certainly desirable.
Less than one-half the real benefit that
it is possible to derive from the garden is
obtained when only one crop is grown.
With the earlier varieties especially a
quick growth is necessary in order 10 have
crisp, tender vegetables, so that a second
crop can be grown much more readily
with them than with other varieties that
have a slower growth and a longer period
of maturity.
Sweet corn, beans, summer and winter
radishes, late cabbages and tomatoes,
celery, turnips and rutabagas are all late
crops that may be planted after the first
crops have been taken of. There is an
additional advantage with the late crops,
viz, that what are notused can be gathered
and stored tor use in winter.

AS soon as the growth Of the plants will per-
NIT, start the hand or garden cultivator. This
will be found much more economical than de-
pending upon the hoe.
Those who succeed in raising large crops of
small fruits take pains to have the soil rich, to
cultivate thoroughly and to keep the plants
promptly trimmed up as well as allowing the
plants plenty of room.
Careful pruning aids TO properly thin the
fruit and gives a better yield both in quality
and quantity. A healthy thrifty tree will
nearly always set more fruit than it should be
allowed TO mature.

Shenandoah Valley Railroad.
Il Decision in Favor Of the General
Mortgage Creditors.
lsnecinl TO the Baltlmore SUM-

R1cHMoND, Va, March 1.-THE
Court of Appeals to-day decided the
case of the Fidelity Insurance, Trust
and Safe Deposit Company of Phila-
delphia against the Shenandoah VAL
ley Railroad Company. The case is
divided into two branches. The first
involved the question of the priority
of the general mortgage creditors to
the extent of 81 $50, 90 over the first
mortgage debt. In this banch the
Circuit Court of Roanoke sustained
the claims of the general mortgage
creditors, which are affirmed to-day by
the Court of Appeals. The second
part of the case involved the right of
the Car Construction Company to a
lien for cars, engines and other stock
furnished by them to the Shenandoah
road. This claim for lien priority
was based upon an amendment to the
law providing lien to railroad en-
ployes, passed at a recent session of
the Legislature. Under the law be-
fore it was amended this lien was in
tended only to secure mechanics, la
borcrs and other employees of trans
portation companies. As amended it
was sought to include in the provision
of the act construction companies and
others who furnished cars and other
stock to transportation companies
In amending the law, though, the
Legislature failed to change the title
of the old act to conform the new pro-
visions. The CircuitCourt sustained
the claims of.the Car Construction
Company, hut'the Court of Appeals,
in its decision to-day. reversed the
lower court. 1t was held by the
Court of Appeals that the failure of
the General Assembly to amend the
title of tile act in question invalidated
it so far as it applied to furnishers of
stock. The court said, therefore,
that as the cars were simply loaned
to the Shenandoah Company they
could be sold and the proceeds de-
rived from such sale turned over to
the claimants. The effect of the de-
cision of the court to-day will be that
the Shenandoah Valley Road, which
for some time has been in the hands
of receiver, will have to be sold to
meet the claims against it. The
largest debt is due to Kimball and
Clark, which is about a million and q
