The peculiar sorrows OF a Pennsyl-

A tall and heavy-footed colored man

The garden is the richest part OF the

important to have an early and we'll

than 1t Is on wide fields more exposed
10 the winds. If the garden Is plowed
It should be left as light and rough as
possible. This is best secured by very
late blowing, either just before the
ground freezes, or better still, after the
frost has penetrated an inch or more
deep, leaving crust to hold up the fur
row. In a dry winter the soil will freeze
through and through a number of times
and be in excellent filth in the spring.
The only failure of this plan comes
when the winter and spring are very
