Treat the bottom of this trench as the
first one was treated, and thus go
over till the whole square has been
dug in this way, filling in the last
trench with the soil taken from the
| first one. This subsoiling should be
repeated once in four or five years.
Stable manure is the main standby
in garden work, but it will be an ad-
vantage, as the garden becomes filled
with vegetable matter, to change to
artificial fertilizers, with an occasion
al dressing of lime at the quantity of
1000 pounds of freshly Stacked lime
to the acre, applied in the fall.
One must exercise his own judg-
ment largely as to the rotation of
crops. But it is good rule to make
the succeeding crop different from
that which has just been grown. For
instance, early peas should not be fol-
lowed by another leguminous crop
like snaps, but should be succeeded
by sweet corn, satisfy or other crop
for which there is time Early beets
can be. followed by snaps, early on
ions by bush lima beans, and success
sive crops of sweet corn and snaps
can be planted as long as there is a
chance for their making a crop for
the table A little thought and eX-
to keep the garden at work all the
year.
No fixture in southern garden is
so useful as the cold frame, with it's
glass sashes. With it can be grown
many things that are grown in fine
heated greenhouses in the north.
Cold frames are used for growing let
tuce during the winter months, head
ing caulif1ower in the late winter and
early spring, for sowing seeds of rad
ishes in winter, and seeds of cabbage,
tomato, egg plant, ETC., in late winter,
for setting afterward in open ground,
and also for hardening off the tender
plants that have been started early,
either in the greenhouse or hot-bed
Do not be in too great a hurry in
the spring to get to work in the open
ground. If the soil is at all inclined
to clay, much damage may be done
by working it while wet, as it will
harden into Jumps that will make the
cultivation difficult all summer, and
materially injure it's productiveness.
Do not touch the soil until it will
readily crumble.

succession of fresh vegetables from
the garden by the exercise of a little
foresight. And this succession can be
made more perfect if is added a
frame, with some hot-bet sashes, for
the production of lettuce, caulifiower
radishes, carrots, etc., during the
colder months, while all through the
winter months kale, spinach and tur-
nips can be had.
Townspeople seldom have much
choice in the matter of soil and loca-
ton for a garden, but on the farm
there is usually range for choice. A
deep, mellow, well-drained soil is OF
first Importance. Ii perfectly level
so much the better; or, if it slopes in
anv direction, let it, if possible, slope
to south or east. The surface should
incline rather to sand than clay, but
deep breaking and heavy manuring
will alter the character of even a
heavy clay, and for some late crops
such soil is desirable. A clay, de-
sired to be improved, could be bet
tered by thorough Understandings
with tile, and could be further helped
by hauling into it sand and leaf mold
from the forest.
A vegetable garden should be de-
voted to vegetables only. The farm
garden should be of such extent that
the work may be done mainly by
horsepower. In small town gardens,
however, the work should be done
mainly by human power. Walks
should be simply sufficient for con-
venience in working the garden.
good, tight, high board fence, kept
we'll whitewashed, is the best enclos-
ure. 1t not only gives shelter from the
cold winds, but in it's shade on the
south and east sides will be found a
favorable place for many things that
do not like the full exposure of the
southern sun. wire netting on the
fence will be found convenient for
training many things, and thus econ
omizing space.
The best shape for garden is a
parallelogram about twice as long as
wide. In gardens of a moderate size
one central walk will be found sui
ficient, with a narrow one encircling
the whole plat excepting a border of
about seven feet next the fence,
which will be found an excellent
place for seed beds, and on the north
side for frame and hot-beds. Laid
out as suggested, there will be two
general plats or squares for cropping,
and on these should be a regular sys-
tenn of rotation of crops, as soon as
one crop has passed its usefulness,
the space being cleared and prepared
for another in due season.
In a small town garden it will al
ways pay to prepare the soil in the
best possible manner. For such small
grounds the English custom of
trenching is the most effective, and
the spade and the digging fork the
best tools. If the upper soil is mel
low and sandy, and the immediate
subsoil is tenacious clay, it will not
be advisable to deepen the soil by
turning it upside down and bringing
that clay to the surface. In this case

Republican party is hostile to the
spirit of existing party management
on the liquor issue is without doubt !;
but even were this class a decided
majority, it could not to day insist
upon its convictions without SO dis
lrupting the party that its power for
organic usefulness to our cause
would be gone beyond the hope of
recovery.
Ii was all in vain that Daniel
Webster sought to save himself and
his party by surrender of principle
on demand of an arrogant minority.
1t was political suicide both for the
man and the party. The protest OF
the people was recorded not by a
reversal of party policy nor an at
tempt thereto, but in a new parti-
san organization. This is simply
lesson of experience, demonstra-
ton of effect following cause. A
party may gain temporary advan-
tage 10y deceit or disloyalty to duty,
but when it attempts to regain the
confidence of the forces that it has
outraged, it finds itself no longer
master thereof 1t may secure q
further lease oforganic life by still
lower descent from principle, but il
has closed upon itself the door to its
old alliance, 1t cannot return to its
old camping ground.

A party cannot play "hide and

not balance between antagonism and
