It would be a compare lively easy task
to keep the garden free from weeds IL peo-
pie were less liable to SOW fowl seeds up

gon loads, mixed with the manure; they
carry it there in bags and baskets, mixed
with garden seeds; they allow the winds
and a thousand and one other agencies
TO scatter it there from the roadsides and
neighboring fields: and thus they undo

like myself, depend almost exclusively
upon commercial fertilizers and chemicals
for their manure supply, are relieved of at
least this one trouble that confronts the
average farmer-Weed seeds in the manure
heap. How to Kill them and prevent their
termination in the soil afterward IS Sc
rious problem. Thorough composing and
fermentation may accomplish the object.
and since the manure for the garden
should be fine and well rotted, the COM

means of destroying the vitality of most

The Great Enricher,

"Humus acts" says Liebig, 'in the
same manner in soil permeable to air
as in the air itself; it is a continuous
source of carbonic acid, which it emits
very slowly. An atmosphere of carbonic
acid formed at the expense of the air sur
rounds every particle of decaying humus.
The cultivation of land by loosening the
soil causes free and unobstructed access of
air. An atmosphere of carbonic acid is
therefore contained in every fertile soil,
and is the first and most important food
for the young plants which grow IN It,
More than anything else just now the
Iong-worn soils of the south need humus.
Il Is so easy FOL. the southern farmer a to
work in a crop of peas and clover or beg
~ar-weed or melioitus, he has very little
excuse for letting his soil go on getting
poorer every year, when 1t could be so
easily prevented. Farmers do not further
neglect this duty you owe to your soil!
Your soil is your bank, and you must put
some deposits in ID, else IT must ran TO
resnond to your checks.

1t Is a glorious privilege to live In the
country. You farmers who have lived
there all your lives may not believe this.
but 1t is so. Go into the crowded precincts
of our large cities and look upon the mis-
cry and discomfort exhibited there and
you will soon agree with us that country
life is much to be preferred to life in the
crowded streets of the city. Many time
we have strolled along the streets of the
smaller cities, like Savannah and Atlanta
even with the result of having the deepest
feelings of gratitude aroused that our life
had been lived beyond the citys walls
where the trees grew and the birds sang,
where only at rare intervals the sounds
of wheels disturbed the stiffness of the
evening air, where only the moon made oc-
casionaF nights brighter than others
where when night fell absolute silence
reigned. We were born to city life but fate
sent us to the country soon after reaching
manhood, and we shall never cease to feel
grateful that it was so ordained. We have
had some disadvantages 1t is true, Nbut
they have all been offset by advantages
of some kind or another, we feel convinced
of this. The merry voices of our children
have made the lanes and the fields and the
deep woods resound with gladstone sound
to season these score of years. They have
lived half OF their lives in the woods. The
fOllies of the town they have little cogni-
zance of. They have a vague idea of
them but no acquaintance with them.
Inank Goa they nave greater knowledge
of the secrets of the forest than they have
of the frivolities of the town. They have
ranged the woods and the fields until their
exhausted bodies have craved the early
couch, but they are never blear-eyed and
exhausted from the late hours of city
night life. They always hail the early
breakfast bell and out Of school hours are
ever ready for the tramps of the woods
and fields How little of genuine pleasure
the city boy and girl has. Think of this
farmers when you are trying to make a
balance of your profit and loss" for the
mast TWENTY-FIVE years. You have had
some benefits you have not reckoned. May
be your life has not been the failure that
YOU have set it down to be. You may not
have made the money that you think you
ought to have made. But if you have made
YOUR wife and children happy in the mean
while and have brought the latter to man
hood or womanhood free from the taints
of modern social life, remember YOU have
done much for another generation and you
shnnld be correspondinglY grateful.

Rnising Egg-pInnt Plants.

1t is not every amateur gardener who
succeeds in growing these plants. While
they can be grown successfully in frames
on the level ground it is only few who
succeed in growing them in this manner.
The flea-beetle is the most destructive in
sect to this vegetable and appears to be
always on the watch for the young plants
and oftentimes destroys every plant in a
frame in q single night.
Years ago we adopted the plan of SOW
ing the seeds of eggplant (and pepper tool
in frames elevated about four feet above
the ground. We have had no trouble since
adopting this plan.
Posts are put in, standing out four feet
and on these frame by or by (ac-
cording to the number of plants desired
is set. The frames have a solid bottom
with auger holes bored in different parts
for drainage; The frame is made higher
at the back than at the front so as to give
slope to the sun and allow the water to
run off freely-say twelve inches at the
back and six or seven at the front About
four inches of good soil is put in the
frames and pressed firmly down. The
glass sash is put on a week before plant
ing time, leaving crack for any insects
to leap out as they get warmed up. a rag
saturated with turpentine will help to eX-
pedite their departure. Sow the seeds in
shallow drills four inches apart. Cover
lightly and press the soil firmly to the
seeds.
Water freely with fine hose and put
on the sash closely. In a few days the
young plants will appear. Give them
plenty of fresh air, leaving off the sash
on all mild days. When the soil gets dry
give a good watering that will extend to
the bottom of the box, but do not water
again until the soil gets dry. AS soon
as the third leaf develops thin out freely
and set those drawn out in another frame
to get stocky. Have a little clay dust on
hand that is tainted with kerosene oil to
dust on the plants when they are first
set out. This will protect the plants I'M
I'll they get too tough for abe beetles it
Is very easy crop to grow after il is
fairly profitable crop to the truckers
The eggs should be gathered and shipped
when tender. Properly prepared for the
table, there is no more delightful dish,
whether fried, broiled or baked The lat
ter way is by all odds the best way to
prepare the eggplant
