full men to shave he has ever met,
though some of them are particular.
One senator, he says, he has twice shay
ed three times in one day, not because
his beard grows so fast, but because the
senator likes the sensation. y Another
senator has a pair of little side whis-
kers of which he is fond and to which
he devotes any amount of attention
He did not reveal all this to any sena-
tor, and to the helpless man to whom it
was communicated he said with de-
spairing tone, You know we are not

and dusty. She never had any green
grass to play on, nor shady trees to sit
under.
When she was not tending baby"

was to young to go to school.
At night she would sit on the doorstep
and watch the people going past, and the
stars coming out in the sky.
One day her father took her TO walk in
the park. Patty had never seen SO beauti.

touch the grass it looked SO soft and clean.

prepare it as you would your vegetable
garden. As soon as all danger OF heavy
frosts is over roll the ground with roller
until a perfectly smooth surface is OBJ
tanned. Then measure exactly the ground
to be soyn (say space OF 10 feet square
for each variety OF seed; this is abso-
lutely necessary in order to estimate accu-
rately the yield and cost OF production
per acre.
The time Of planting is very important,
and should be governed largely by tenn
perature. Begin planting when the daily
temperature Cor the temperature OF the
soll) is from 4S to so degrees F., usually
from the middle OF April to the first OF
May.
The seed should be sown with drill or
by hand, at distances from l6 to Is inches
apart between the rows, and at depth
Of not more than one inch. Care should
be taxed not to SOW deeper After the
seeds have been sown day or two go
over the ground with roller.
As soon as the young plants appear in
the rows run a cultivator between the
rows, or hoe ii done by hand, so rs to al
low the air to penetrate the soil.
When the young plants have four
leaves they must be separated, leaving q
single plant at distance from six to eight
inches apart in the rows, according to
the fertility Of the soil. This work is OF
the greatest Importance, for il it is de.
layed more than one week after it should
have been begun the effect will be to re-
duce the crop about one-third therefore,
the greatest stress is laid on this part OF
the work, which must under no consider
alton he neglected.
After the plants have been separated,
leaving only one every six or eight inches,
hoe or cultivate two or three times, being
careful to keep the crop free from weeds
until the leaves by their foliage cover the
ground. thus keeping the soil moist and
preventing the weeds from growing.
From this time on the crop can be allowed
to take its own course until harvest time
