How to Make the Best Soap for
Washing Fine Linen.

Many of the best washing prepara-
ticns are very easily made at home
and are much cheaper than when
bought already prepared and put up
in packages. Mother gave me an ex-
cellent recipe which | would in my
turn like to give to others.
This soap will not soil the finest
fabric or injure delicate complexion.
Take zen pounds of ivory soap, two
gallons of soft water, and five pounds
of common washing soda.
Dissolve four ounces of bOraX and
one ounce of salts of tartar in little
water; cut the soap in slices and boil
till dissolved; then add the salts of
tartar and soda and mix thoroughly;
pour into moulds, or box and cut
into bars.
This makes twenty-five pounds of
very fine soap.
When washing, soap each garment
according to the dirt it contains and
put to soak in warm water; boil in a
clean suds and rinse thoroughly.
Try it once or twice and don't forget
the good rinsing. I have noticed that
clothes are made dingy by poor rims
ing even with good soap. M. M.

bacco stems are laid thickly on the
rose beds, they will keep the plants

am not prepared to say that such
treatment as L have here indicated
would pay for the whole farm, but the
garden is conducted on different
principle from that of the meadows
and grain fields. If the garden will
pay at all it will pay to treat the soil
after this fashion.
Most gardens do not pay. They
produce a few peas and beans in the
early summer, later on some cabbages
and then the potatoes mot very many,
not very large) complete the tale. But
the garden should have in it every
vegetable that will grow in your eli
mate, from raddish and lettuce up to
pumpkins and watermelons. 1t should
not be given up and left for the weeds
to overrun in August, but celery and
late cabbages and turnips should keep

such condition that all these things
can be made to grow easily and well,
it will be quite natural to have a sue
cession of crops; but if strenuous eff
fort is required in order to produce
anything, the garden will have little
attention after it has given the first
lew messes of green vegetables in the
early summer.

your work, but bear in mind that it is
just as necessary to have a good foun,

as for your house or your barn. [ was
once accused of extravaganza in this
matter by an old farmer, who Waded
ankle deep in the manure which COW
cred my garden plot in the late au-
tumn; but the next summer he paid
me for vegetables enough to balance
the total value of the manure which
he thought | had wasted. 1t is quite
possible that in growing farm crops
there is limit to the profitable APP
pication of manure, and it may be
that there also is such a limit in the
garden; but | have never found it, nor
do [ think many others have. The
danger is wholly on the other side

CONVENIENCE FOR TRAVELLERS.

CONVENIENCE FOR TRAVELLERS.
Pullman's Palace Car Company have added
the American Newspaper Annual to the libra
ries on the 'Pennsylvania Limited, Colonial
Express and other trains of that class. The
Wagner Palace Car Company have made SINH
lar provision for their passengers. This work
is also in the libraries of nearly all the Ocean,
Coast, Sound, Lake and River Steamers.
The American Newspaper Annual is an en-
cyclopedia of newspapers and periodicals pub
lished in the United States, Territories and
Dominion of Canada, and of gazetteer facts Of
the places in which they published. These
gazetteer facts embrace population, POLITICAL
complexion, transportation and banking fac,li-
ties, leading products, and industries, and
other information which is of special interest
when travelling through these places.
The work is published by N. w. Aver. &
Son, the we'll known Newspaper Advertising
Agents of Philadelphia, and has long been re-
cognized as the authority on all matters OF
this kind.
We feel confident that no more useful vol
ume can be found in the libraries of these
cars and steamers, and none to which refer
ence will oftener be made. The newspapers of
the country and the travelling public generally
will, we are sure, be. greatly benefited and
gratiied by this provision for their convent
ence.

Making a Garden.

al World. The whole season may pro-
fitably be spent in considering the
subject and making preparations for
winter garden in the extreme South.
The cold frame can be brought into
requsition in those parts of the South
where frosts are more common, and
by it the season of garden vegetables
can be extended But the foundation
of a successful garden is here given,
and the reader will do we'll to fix it in
his mind and keep it where it can be
referred to.
''The first thing to be considered in
locating the garden is to have it in a
convenient place. If it is put in some
distant corner, where it is never seen
except by special effort, there will be
too much of a tendency to let it shift
for itself-and such treatment is not
conducive to godo crops. Having To-
Gated it, next examine into the quail
ity of the soil. If this proves to DE 81
good rich loan you are very fortu-
nate, for you have the best basis upon
which to build If it is heavy clay
you must give first attention to M
proving the mechanical texture, SO as
to make it friable and 'workable.'
This can be done by hauling on coal
ashes or cinders from factories and
blowing it in. By this means we have
made stiff clay friable as an ash heap.
But if you find a light and sandy soil
then bring to it all the refuse vegeta-
BILE matter that you can-leaves
straw, coarse manure, ETC., and plow
it under and let it decay beneath the
surface.
Whatever soil you have and what
ever the initial treatment, you must
not lose sight of the fact that it is
very far from the ideal soil for a gar
den, because it does not contain ma
turally sufficient available plant food
to enable you to grow the very best
crops, and such crops alone as you
can find the fullest satisfaction and
profit in producing. To bring it to
this stage you must manure, and ma
nure and manure. Remember that
YOU have not a whole farm to enrich,
but only little garden plot of few
square rods; so you can afford to APP
ply manure in such quantities as
might we'll frghten you if undertaken
on large area. Of course you are
not going to apply it beyond the
needs of the crop which you expect
to grow this year, but your purpose
should be to impregnate the soil so
thoroughly with plant food that what
ever seed you place there will find at
once the elements needed for it's per-
feet growth
load of manure on the garden is
not enough. half dozen loads are
not unless the garden is very small in
deed. The entire surface should be
covered to a depth of at least six in
ches, and this not with coarse ma
nure, but with a fine and we'll rotted
product. fut it under the surface
this fall if you can. If not, put it on
the top and let it mellow and melt
through the winter. Then in the
spring put on more, and continue the
operation every spring and fall as
