THE YAaMRR's GARDEN.
1t is probably true S,st farm gar
dens. vegetable and fruit gardens, will
be more generally cultivated this year
than ever before, for the reason that
we are daily learning more of the re-
quirements of life and discover them
only in we'll supplied table, and that
the latter is found only where the
kitchen garden affords the necessary
material. Man is not altogether meat
eater; indeed we have learned that
with fresh vegetables and fruits from
properly conducted garden with cream
and butter and eggs he is much bet
ter of and likely to enjoy better
health than with more meat. Less
meat and pastry, less high living and
a nearer approach to natures own
health giving products will nour-
with less irritation of the mental and
physical systems, less Indigestion and
constipation and a heartier, happier
tone generally.
A good sized two acres near to the
house should be laid off, thoroughly
plowed, we'll manured and put in the
finest possible filth. Then determine
what vegetables you want for spring,
summer, autum and winter use. Take
q piece of blank paper, make q map
showing where the roads through it
are to be, then where this that and the
other thing is to be planted. Goose
berry, currant and raspberry bushes
may be planted in straight rows only
from end to end, so As not to interfere
with the plow; but they should be, il
possible, near the road and pathways
or along under the fences.
Deep cultivation, perfect tillsge and
thorough msnuring with stable or
barn yard manure are the main requi-
sites to success. Take, then, one Of the
great seed catalogues and select what
seed you want for the first year. If
you are short of help select fewer va
rieties, but have them so IA to supply
q continuous variety from the earliest
spring till frost comes, and even then
have q store of such as will keep
through the winter. The American
farmer should be the best fed man in
the world, princes and kings not ex-
cepted and he will be if he only lays
himself out to produce for his own
table fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh
milk, butter, eggs and poultry, and
fresh meat when it may be convenient
ly had. The beautifully gotten up
seed catalogues published by onr sd-
vertisers for gratuitous distribution
should be in every farmhouse in the
country and be freely and fully con-
suited. They not only remind one OF
the varieties needed, but, ~ rule,
tell how they are to be cultivated so
as TO insure the best results The
making of the garden and the planting
thereof may come just when AL hands
and horses are wanted for other work,
but better employ extra help TO make
it than not have q garden at all. IL
should be SO planted ss TO admit Of
