MANY people aver and sometimes with reason, that
every vegetable raised in the Home garden costs at least
three times much those purchased nom the mar
ket. II the garden Is not run economically every
production may cost even moro in proportion. When
one considers that 900 per month will provide family
with the greatest abundance OF fresh vegetables and
that the wages alone of experienced gardener would
be $25 with board one can easily see how costly II
NAV be IT, in addition, all the other expenses are
reckoned up Still 1t is worth the cost II one can
afford it; there is greater luxury than plenty OF
absolutely fresh vegetables during the summer But
for those who like to garden for themselves Win the
occasional help of boy a man, vegetable garden
Is an economy and a most delightful recreation. In
the plan for a small house-ot given in last Sundays
Tribune the very small vegetable garden covered only
an area OF fifty by fifty feet. Any one, by w0Nhg
an bonr in the morning and in the late after
noon could keep such small space In perfect oroer
and obtain many welcome additions to the table
In such tiny garden 1t is we'll to keep one BED
entirely for seedlings, transpantng them when large
enough TO the Others II carefully DONE transpanting
gives even better results than will the seeds which are
left 10 themselves and merely thnned out. All the
hardy vegetables may be sown this mOnth-lettuce,
onions spinach turnps peas carrots radishes, pas-
lev etc One Of the most delightful OF all gardening
Measures is the care Of cold frames. These are three
by-sx sashes placed box or frame made OF TWO
boards running parallel and nailed to low posts, which
are driven into the ground The one for the back is
from ten 30 twelve inches wide, and that for the Font
seven or eight inches wide, TO give the sashes ptoh

Of collecting the taxes the state would

The Lawyers Kick.

For some time the attorneys of Gopc-
bic county have becn dissatisfied with
Judge Williams and his administration
OF the affairs OF the Circuit Court OF
this county. There has been mu.tcr-
ines among them at the general ob.ec-
ion to lie manner of presiding over tho
court. Their dissatisfaction reached its
climax at the opening o. court Monday
when nearly nil Of the attorneys will
lrew their cases from the calendar on the
ground that they did not feel that their
clients would receive fair trial before
Judge Williams. The Times has con-
versed with number Of the lawyers
and finds that their antagonism to the
Judge is not u person one, neither Ii
I because they believe him prciudiccd
in favor Of corporations, as stated by u
Aumber of outside papers, but they b.
iieye that the present state of health
OF the Judge incapacitates him from
properly presiding over the more or
less extensive litigation Of this circuit

tcrviewed slate regret that they Were
compelled to take the step they did bu,
they could not conscientiously to other
