VEGETABLE GARDEN.

Arrange for succession Of vegeta.
bles in the garden; it is just as easy to
have them continuously as for only a
few weeks at the beginning Of the sea-
son. Do not put in large quantity at
time, but make paintings every two
or three weeks from early spring till
late enough 10 insure vegetables until
frost. In spite of its being so often
regulated to the care Of women and
children, the garden is-or should be
the real backbone Of the farm. tits the
principle source of supply Of the tabl q
during the summer and fall, and
could easily be m.de to extend its use
fulness through the winter and spring.
Let your wife be its unquestioned sup
erintendent, but furnish her all the
help she wants to manage it.
Do not stint cultivati ion. More even
than manure or soil or weather is this
TO growing crops, and especially to the
small plants of the garden. Farmers
give one hoeing or two hoeings or three
hoeings to this crop and that crop and
the other crop; do not Count yours, but
hoe every time the ground becomes
hard, after every shower, and wher-
ever you Can borrow half hour from
your other work. 1t will he counted
TO you many fold.-Fdrm Journal.

CARE OF THE ORCHARD.

CARE OF THE ORCHARD.
1t is very seldom that an orchard is
cultivated too much. The fault is apt
to be in the otl.er direction. But there
is a right and wrong time for this work.
as there is for most things. Cultiva-
tion of the ground in orchards should
be begun before the leaves appear and
again when The young fruit has formed,
but it must not be kept up too long.
Late cultivation keeps the trees grow
ing late in the summer and prevents
their ripening up, so that the tender
growth is really winter killed. Cultiva-
tion should stop about the first of July.
1t should be shallow, so as not to injure
the roots of the trees. When cultiva-
tion ceases the orchard should be sown
to rye, crimson clover, buckwheat or
field peas, which can be left to form a
mulching as winter cover for the
ground.
Commercial fer tilizers are better
than stable manure for the orchard.
The reason for this is that the manure
induces too rank wood growth and
consequent bad ripening of the wood.
Fruit trees require large amount of
potash and phosphorie acid, and these
may be supplied by acid phosphate and
muriate of potash, $50 pounds of the
former and so pounds of the latter
being sufficient for an acre. Unleached
wood ashes are also one of the fertili-
zers for fruit trees. Like all other
fertilizers they should be spread out
evenly as far as the roots extend.
Many orchards are being starved while
the owner wonders why his trees are
unproductive. A recognition of the
fact that they cannot give what they
have not received will soon lead to the
application of the remedy.

VIEWS WORDS FOR FARMERS,

VIEWS WORDS FOR FARMERS
A clever physician oLce prescribed
a new and becoming dress as the best
remedy he knew of for nervous care
worn woman, writes Helen Jay in the
"Ladies' Home Journal History
says that cure was affected. At any
rate, we know that there is much
truth in the saying of the French, "a
womaD is just at old as she appears to
be-" and the woman who would keep
young and strong must look young and
strong. There is another way in which
a farmers wife Injuries herself .phys.-
cally, and that is by drinking so much
SO much cold water when doing her
work. She becomes overheated in the
hot kitchen, baking, ironing or wash
ing, and goes from that warm room
into her cold dairy, where the temper
ature is several degrees lower, to cool
off for few minutes, as she says.
While resting there she drinks a glass
of cold water and then goes back again
to work. Size goes from the s'"Sr 10
the cellar without thought Il the
risk she is running. This carelessness
on her part causes many of tho rheH-
matte feyers so prevalent upon orr
farms, and if it does nothing else it
ruins the finest skin. No surface can
be exposed to such extremes without
injury. and face that is first almost
blistered with heat and then chilled
with current of cold air is apt to
grow wrinkled and coarse, if it is not
disfgured by eruptions. Instead of
doing so much wolk in the kitchen,
the wide. cool piazzas, which, as gen.
eral thing, run around one side of the
farmhouse, should be utilized for do
mestic purposes. The ironing and palt
of the baking can be done here very
easily by using small oil stove; and
the vegetables will be thoroughly pre-
pared for cooking if the house wife
sits comfortable in the coolest cor
ner, instead of wearily bending over
table in close room, made almost
uncomfortable by the heat from a. large
stove.

The WAY To Get There.


To get there, young fellow, the way that is
+ best
The method of methods, the World. has con
fessed,
Is to roll there on rollers, to skate there on
wheels
With the balance of power all confined to
the heels.
But if you are tired and you cannot tell why,
If your liver is wrong, and the breath of
your sigh
Is the weary complainings of lungs that are
sore,
And the remedy used doesn't seem to restore
If ghastly consumption, grim, leering and
wild,
The unyielding fountain of health hath de-
filed

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, q com
munity of simple, honest God-fearing men

gestive Cordial for many years, and it is al
ways the same, simple, honest, curative
medicine that has helped to make the
Shakers the healthy, long-lived people that
they are. The Shakers never have indi-
gestion. This is partly owing to their SIM
pie mode of life, partly to the wonderful
properties of Shaker Digestive Cordial. In
digestion is cause ed by the stomach glands
not supplying enough digestive juice.
Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies
what's wanting. Shaker Digestive Cordial
inyigorates the stomach and all its glands
SO that after awhile they don't need help
As evidence of the honesty of Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial, the formula is printed on
