very early was out of blossom before
the medium came on; and this in turn
was out Of the way of the mammoth
evergreen, which came latest of all.
Where early potatoes were planted in
the spring, cabbages, turnips and eel
cry were put out after the crop Of pota-
toes was off, and other late crops grew
where early peas and beans had been,
turnips and cucumbers for pickles
mostly.
By using little management most of
the ground was made to produce two
crops during the season. This kept the
land clean of weeds and kept the garden
in good shape during the whole sea-
son, and made the profits correspond
ingly greater. Amy farm in Illinois
might have similar garden, and If it
is near a considerable village much of
the surplus might be sold at good
prices.
The diagram shows how the plots
were arranged. On the west side strip
one rod wide was reserved for such
things as onions, beets, lettuce, early
peas, etc, all of which can be planted
closely and grown TO better advantage
than if planted in wide rows. In tho
diagram this strip Is shown, numbered
l, 2, 3, etc,
The remainder of the garden was
marked off into rows 80 inches apart.
This is about the proper distance for
beans, peas, corn and potatoes when
grown in rows, drilled in the row. IL
will be seen by the diagram that this
plan for a garden allows it to be culti-
vated north and south by horse power;
and if this is well and carefully done
but very little hand work will be neces-
sary the season through.-Farm and

was worked with a horse, excepting a
very small portion.
The illustration shows how it was
planned and planted, and the returns
from it convinced me that it is as easy
10 have good garden with but very
little hand hoeing as it Is to have one
that Is not half cultivated with good
deal more work with the hoe. The soil
can be stirred much more effectively
when horse Is used, and the small
amount of hand work necessary to
make good job of it, and the short
time It takes to keep the garden in a
good state of cultivation, makes it
pleasure to work in it, and keeps 1t in
condition that brings pleasure and
profit.
This garden is Ave by 16 rods and
contains just half an acre, and 1 am
safe in saying that the value of the re-
turns from it exceeds that Of any three
acres put in general crops in the same
neighborhoOd, and the work on it was
not missed, as it was done at odd times
1nostly-mornings and evenings when
there was spare hour or two that
could be devoted to it. If occasion de-
manded it, time was taken to work the
garden, but the whole cost of keeping
Il going was not much in excess ofwhat
Il would cost to take first-class care of
any crop.
Melons, squashea and cucumbers
should be separated and kept as far
apart as possible. This because these
things cross-fertilize with each other
easily. kept pole and bush limas
apart, though this was not necessary,
lcv heant DO not cross-fertilize readily.

PLANNING A GARDEN.

~ AhOuld BE Large Enough to Be Worked
by Horse Power
The farm garden should be a large
one. and in order that it may have
proper attention it should be planned
20 IL can be worked by horsepower as
lnuch as possible. There has been
great deal said and written on this sub
Seets and there is room for more of the
same kind of persuasion as long as the
average farm garden IL neglected to
tlae extent that tits.
In the first place, berry, currant and
gooseberry bushes and strawberry
vines should never be put in the vegeta-
bic garden, but should have place to
themselves. The rule is to set row Of
cuEEant or other small-fruit bushes
around the garden, and this at once
precludes plowing it close to the fence,
or working it with horse.

what strange that as a frivolous society
girl / very industriously kept journal
fascinating, pastime of the sue
ceeding few months was a study of
it and an eager inquiry into every
detail of my hfe. My physician was OF
great assistance to me in this, and 1 may
say here that his pride and qualification
over the success of his experiment were
boundless, and that he liked me far better
as my old self than as the light-hearted
girl whom he had lifted out OF darkness.
AS for my mother, her fear being realized,
she was for time unconsolable, but lat
terly has become reconciled-
When / was perfectly restored and began
to long for the old scenes and occup pations
which | had abandoned three years before,
the physician very earnestly said this to
me one day:
"9ou were none the less yourself before
the operation than now. The puZzling
problem, which you alone can solve, if
that be possible, is this: We know that
the part of you which has been repressed
by restoration of your skull to its former
confguration is still within you, stronger
now than before you fell down the stair,
because it has been developed by exercise
and training. Where is that part of you?
Can you find it? Surely, it was charming
in its way and it is a pity to see its activity
destroyed. Can you not drag it forth and
become acquainted with it? If so you
will have done wonderful thing-some-
thing rational, scientific, useful and nat
ural and utterly unlike the idle and whim-
sical conceit of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde. +"
The subject at once developed an extra
ordinary fascination for me. We discussed
it often and deeply, and it was ludicrously
pitiful to see the helplessness of that giant
intellect as 1t groped and grasped in search
of some means for bringing the other part
of me to the light.
Finally it was agreed between us that
there was only one way in the world to ac-
The San Francisco call., 1896-02-09

eompllsh the seemingly impossible; but
before proceeding to that part of the mar
ratlve must revert again to my love af-
fair.
OF course you have already anticipated
what course that matter took. Ny fiance
(whom / did not remember at alb was
utterly distasteful to me. At first l was
glad to have had my eyes opened con-
cerning him, but then reflected that
he was perfectly worthy of such re-
gard as it had been possible for me
in another condition to bestow upon
him. But to my reawakened perception
he seemed SO utterly shallow, so lacking in
the depth and strength which go to the
making of men who might command my
admiration and affection, that I could
barely tolerate his society. He could not
comprehend the change which had oc-
Cured in me, nor realize that the nature
which he had learned to love had stepped
back into oblivion and was no more before
him. But his despair was so touching
that 1t grieved me to the heart, and this
greatly assisted me in the task which I
now set for myself.
The plan agreed upon by the physicicn
and me was that / should go into strict re-
tirement and undergo.a "a long and vigorous
course of introspection, concentrating my
whole attention on the task of searching
within me for that light-hearted, genial
part which everybody had loved.
A remarkable thing happened two
months after had put this plan in opera
tion-my other self began to appear to me
in my sleep. | kept a close record of

am impressed with the pathos and tragedy
of them. At first we were distrustful of
each other. My dominating conscious
ness was my serious, studious self, ana /
call that part of me /. My other self held
me in a certain ludicrous awe, while
treated her with a kind of disdain. Blu.
she was so sunny. and l was really so
eager to cultivate her, that we made prog
ress and eventually became good friends
in dreamland.
My physician was the only person who
had access to me, and when I reported
these dreams to him he exclaimed that 1
was in the way of success. We talked
long and seriously over many strange
problems that presented themselves. One
of them concerned Immortality. for it was
q question which, if either, of my selves
would live hereafter. AS this was all
speculation, and is not relevant to the
business of plain narrative, shall give
no more space to their discussion.
pursued my rigorous course diligently
and faithfully, denying myself sufficient
food in order to secure a finer sense of per-
ception by keeping my physical nature in
repression. Presently it came about that
my other selfs visitations were not con-
fined to my slumbering hours. If I kept
the room absolutely dark and my atten-
ton sharply concentrated on the subject
for many hours, could feel that my other
self was with me, at first externally, in the
room, and then within me. From this I
gradually passed to another stage, in
which I was often uncertain which of my
selves was dominant. At all events, we
were in perfect harmony of purpose and
both worked assiduously to a common
end.
The first intimation I had of another

not last long. In fact most people forgot
all about it in a few weeks.
1t was announced in the newspapers that
Senator Stanford had been offered a great
sum for the skeleton, but had refused it as
1t was his intention to put in the museum
at Palo Alto after it was properly prepared
and mounted.
+ Whatever the Senator's intentions may
have been they were never carried out, for
the skeleton is at present in a dark unused
room of the Academy of Sciences in this
City and has been since few weeks after
the horses death.
1t seems that Senator Stanford was
deeply afflicted by the death of his fayo-
rite and at once made arrangements to
preserve the remains. The bones were
shipped to this City and given in charge of
w. G. Blunt, who had orders to clean and
articulate them and put them in present
able shape for exhibition purposes.
Mr.. Blunt had several months Job be-
fore MIN and did his work in the basement
OF the Academy of Sciences. The bones
had to be boiled and bleached and put
through several processes so as to remove
all animal grease and prevent deconposi-
ton. They had also to be filled with poi
sonous chemicals to prevent the ravages of
vermin. The work of putting the bones
together again was most delicate task
that consumed several weeks.
When the skeleton was in shape and the
bones occupied the same relative position
to one another that they did when Palo
Alto was alive Mr.. Blunt moved 1t up
stairs to an unused room ready for the
inspection of Senator Stanford But the
Senator never came to see it because he
was prostrated by the illness that eventu-
ally caused his death.
Since then the skeleton has remained in
the same room. 1t has been covered with
Tnrr fNI1 n1I 1lrNfl -
corner.
In general appearance the skeleton of
Palo Alto does not differ much from the
skeletons of other horses, but close in
spection reveals delicacy of bone and
large joints that carried the powerful
muscles of the racehorse. The articula-
tlons are all unusually large, with smooth,
lubricating surfaces. The hoofs are very
small. The ankles are long and with
heavy joints. Although the face is moth
ing but bones, it really looks as though
one could see the same gentle ex-
preston it bore in life. The ribs are re-
markably small, but must have been very
flexible to allow the expansion of the DOW
erful lungs.
Standing alone in the musty corner, COW
cred with the ragged old cloths and the
dust OF nearly three years, it is hard TO
realize that those bones once belonged to
the greatest horse of the time.
Just what will eventually be the fate of
the skeleton is a matter of conjecture
What became of the skin of the famous
racer appears to be mystery.

strange thing that was going on within me
was when L discovered that recollections
of my fiance were no longer disagreeable
This slowly developed into positive lik-
ing for him, and then into a great desire
to see him. The doctor was my full con-
fidant in all these matters, and he took
the iiveliest interest in them.
| shall never forget the day when, after
had shown a strong spirit of rebellion
over my confinement and complete lack
of interest in my quest. 1 boldly told my
physician that the whole proceeding was
a farce, that had failed utterly and that
L wanted to see my mother and my lover.
The physician sprang to his feet in great
excitement and asked:
"And your other self never visits you
now?"
II have no other self!" 1 impatiently
exclaimed.
"And you remember all that you did
after you fell down the stairs2''
"Of course l do" answered. "I had
never forgotten it
"You remember all of your life before
that accident?"
Certainly"
"Then, my young friend" he cried in
an ecstasy of delight, ''you have won the
victory, and it is the most wonderful in
all history-you have dragged forth your
light-hearted self and made it a part of
you. Your two distinct identities, your
two separate and opposing consciousness,
have become amalgamated, and you, as 1
see you here, are the product of both in a
most charming com mbinationr
But it all seemed foolish and idle to me,
and could not patiently listen to him
giving me a scientific explanation of it. L
know that as [ am now l anu both studious
and fond of society. Really it does seem
that l am different from what had been
in either of my former conditions, and 1
am willing TO let the physicians explana-
tion of it close the case
Except that I might add this: I am
very, very fond of my old lover, who is
none the less my lover because he happens
to be my husband.
