The Early Garden.

PA0P"AOu, ~ is easy, WIN d lltIle
care in planting, to grow at least
two crops, and as the garden could
be made the richest part OF the
farm, it is certainly an item to work
all that is possible out of it. But
to do this the planting must be ar
ranged SO as to keep the ground oc.
cupied nearly or quite all through
the season.
1t is important to begin right,
planting the early crops SO that as
soon as one crop is matured another
will be ready to take its place.
Crops like onions. radishes, beets,
lettuce and spinach should be plant
ed early. But at no time is it any
advantage to try to work the soil or
plant seed unless the ground is dry
enough to work we'll. At the same
time it is necessary with these crops
to have everything ready so that at
the first opportunity the seeding
can be pushed along. 1t is hard to
have the soil in too fine fifth.
Be sure to have good seed and
plenty of it, as it is always better to
thin out in the garden than to re-
plant. Make out the rows, if the
planting is to be done by hand, the
proper distance apart and SOW the
seed as evenly and in as straight
line as possible. One advantage in
using the drill is the more equal
distribution of seed. 1t also makes
straighter rows, and when the gar
den cultivator is used this is quite
an item, as the cultivator shovels
or weeders can be set to run very
close to the rows, lessening in this
way the work of keeping down the
weeds.
One foot between rows is close
enough for radishes, onions, lettuce
and spinach. Beets should be Is
inches. With the early dwarf peas
and the stick peas good plan is to
plant two rows not over six inches
apart, and then leave a space Of
eighteen inches, as this affords
better opportunity of picking the
crop when ready.
Cabbages, tomatoes, early peppers
and caulifower and other plants of
this kind can generally be grown in
a cold frame to a good advantage.
The principal advantage of this
plan is earliness, as grown in this
way they can be ready to trans
plant by the time the weather will
permit the sowing of seed in the
garden.
But whether the plants are grown
in the hot-bed or cold frame, or in
seed beds in the open ground, care
must be taken not to SOW the seed
too thick or the plants will grow up
weak and spindling. To make
strong, stocky plants they must
have room to grow.
Generally all the onions needed
should be planted as soon as the
condition of the soil will admit.
With lettuce, radishes, beets, pease
and spinach second sowing should
be made in about three weeks in or
der to keep up good supply. Cen
orally cabbage and quite number
of other crops may be planted at
the same time. With peas the
first or earliest planting should al
ways be of the hard, smooth varie-
ties. They are much harder than
the sweeter, wrinkled kinds. Peas
should be covered about two inches,
onions and beets one inch, while a
very light covering is best for let
tuce, radishes and spinach. When
the last cultivation of these earlier
crops is given, a planting of some
later crops can be made between
the rows, and by the time the room
is needed the earlier crops will be
out Of the way.

THE LITTLE THINGS TEE MOST
VALUABLE.

Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors. but almost everybody has been
struck, at one time or another. with ideas that
seemed calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life Usually such ideas are dis.
missed without further thought.
why don't the railroad companies make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers backs?"
exclaims traveller. IF were running the
road would make them in such way"
What was the man who made this sucepan
thinking off" grumbles the cook. HE never
had to work over the stove or he would have
known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such a collar button!" growls the man
who is late for breakfast ''If / were in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out. or break of. or gouge out the back of my
neck"
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances and begin to think Of some
thing else. II they would sit down at the next
convenient opportunity, put their ideas about
car windows, saucepans. and collar buttons in
to practical shape. and then apply for patents.
they might find themselves as independently
wealthy As the man who invented the iron UNI
brella ring, or the one who patented the fifteen
puzzle.

But Railroads Will Cooperate to Eeduoo
Expenses.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Collis p. Hunt
ington, when questioned regarding a
dispatch from Chicago, stating that a
movement is on foot to combine all the
railroads in the country running east
and west from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific and other roads in a trust, said:
"The question is asked whether or not
a railroad trust is being formed to oper-
ate the roads west of the Mississippi, and
I say no; but there seems to be a
necessity Of cheapening in some
way the cost Of transportation. One Of
the large items is the multiplicity of
agents Of each company looking after
each separate interest. Therefore it is
proposed to have one Office for all the
companies, each company doingits own
business and getting all the money it
receives. It is very difficult to advance
rates, SO the next thing is to see if there
is not some way by which we can econ
omize so as to get more net out OF the
gross than we are now receiving.'

LONDON, Oct. ia dispatch from
Shanghai confirms the report tele-

will advance on Woo Chang, province
of Hoo-Pee, of which Hankow is tho
capital. The garrison at Woo-Chang
has gone to the coast and the place is
therefore practically defenseless.
