July or August this quality of rain would |
not prevent plowing many days in the
month, but that amount in December NAV
prevent blowing altogether 1t depends
alIoSeJher how it falls, and the number of
cold cloudy days, whether such a GUAM
NY OF ram will keep the soil continuously
Wet-too wet to plow. Whenever it is prac-
liCdoIe 10 do so, and has not been done al
Isauy IN November, the initial preparation
Oh lhe SOIL should begin this month i'm
most southern gardens, large or small.
Nhere the soil is sandy, or loose from
the presence of vegetable matter. no very
great advantage is secured by ridging it
up IN the winter, but all clav soils or
shallow soils are greatly benedted nv he
ing rldged up and exposed to the helpful
lnuuence of frost and freezing 1t will nm
der such soils, be much more easily
worked in the spring, and they are not so
apt TO bake hard later on in the summer
Whlle sandy soil is not especially bene-
nted from being rdged and exposed TO
irost, still on account of the ease with
which 1T may be properly manured dur
ing the latter part Of this month and
along through January, it will be found
well to ridge it as we'll as the sitter soils
This ridging is done either with d
narrow turn shovel of turn scooters run
ming burrows as close as possible without
throwing any soil into the furrow pre-
viously made. This will have the soil in a
somewhat the appearance of a corrugated
roof. When the soil is dry enough or
hard from being frozen, such stable ma
nure or other organic matter of coarse
nature can be hauled out and spread
broadcast over this f1uted surface. Later
on this soil viii be thoroughly narrowed
across ploughed and relsted or furrowed
to prepare it for planting. In the large
market gardens lin the SOUTH this Decem-
ber (and January work is necessary to
best results, and it should not be left un-
done except for good excuse.
While cold frames are rarely found in
the small home-gaTden of our southern
latitude, no one who grows vegetables for
market is likely to neglect this valuable
adjunct in securing plants for early use
The earliest vegetables can only be oh
tanned through the use of Well-COnstruCtcd
and welI-managed frames part glass COW
cred and part cloth coveredD BY the use
of frames it is possible to have large,
stocky plants ready to be transplanted to
their several plats just as soon as all
rough weather is past, and before it
would not be at all safe to put the seed in
the open ground. They are Indispensable
toward securing early plants of cabbage,
beets, tomatoes, eSg-plants pepper, eel
cry and lettuce.
When speciallv early vegetables are not
desired as is the ease usually with the
small gardener in the country or in the
town. the expense of coId-frames need
