the Fifth army corps had followed Sher1-

into camp near us. This corps was un

THE FARM GARDEN.
How to Keep the Ground Occupied
from Spring to Fall.

How to Keep the Ground Occupied
from Spring to Fail.
The garden is the most productive
acre of the farm. If it is not, it should
be made so. 1t is the most indispensa-
BILE part of farm life. Halt of our liv-
ing should come from our garden in
summer. Not one-half the country peo-
pie make an effort to have garden.
There are some that start out well in
the spring, SOW an abundance of seed
and never look at the garden again un-
til they think it is time they should
have results. They take look and can
not find any for the weeds have covered
the little plants. Then they come to the
conclusion that the seed did not grow.
They say all. sorts of things about the
seedsmen, and NOW off the weeds and
wait until another spring, when they go
through the same process. Now this
is all wrong. TO keep the garden clean
we should begin early and continue the
cultivation until fall. 1t is impossible
to destroy all the weeds while we are
cultivating the early vegetables. Lit
tie patches of weeds around the garden
will produce seed enough to seed the
whole garden next year. We should try
to plan so as to keep all the ground &C.
c'pied in the garden. 1t will require
but little more labor to cultivate cab
bage or turnip in vacant place than
simply to cultivate to keep down the
weeds. You can SOW lettuce in July
and it will be nice in the fall. Cabbage
and turnip can be transplanted into the
ground where the early peas and pota-
toes have grown; or you can set celery
and beets for winter use. Keep all the
ground occupied. If clean cultivation is
given, as should be done, the weeds will
be killed out and at the same time a
good crop secured. Thinning out plants
is an important matter in gardening;
beets and carrots will not grow to any
size if left too thick. No vegetable but
the onion will stand crowding. If the
soil is rich enough onions will grow to
a good size when five or six stand to-
gether; they will crowd each other out
of the ground all but the roots and will
bottom nicely. The onion maggot de-
stroys onions badly; a good remedy is
to take the soil away from the bulbs no
matter if the little onions tip over; so
long as the roots are in the ground they
are all right. BY doing this the fly has
no chance to put it's eggs on the stalks
and then there are no maggots in the
bulbs.-Mrs. j. w. Ferries, in Farm and
Home.

CULTURE OF MELONS.
Their Successful Growth Requires
Lots of Plant Food.

Their Successful Growth Requires
Lots of Plant Food.
Watermelons are excessive feeders,
and many fail in attempting to grow
them because they do not furnish suf-
ficient plant food to supply the neces-
sary strength for vigorous vine and fine
fruit. Not infrequently watermelon
vines turn yellow and die when they
should be just in their prime, simply
from plant starvation.
Iprepare the ground as for corn. Lay
off in rows IL feet apart each way. Idig
a hole about 12zs feet deep and perhaps
three feet in diameter. In the bottom
of this put peck or more of good
Stable manure, tramping it lightly.
Next put in layer of soil. and follow
with layer made up of equal parts OF
soil and fine rich manure thoroughly
mixed, and lastly. where the seeds are
to be placed, another layer of pure soil.
Sow seeds thickly and cover about one
inch. When the second or third leaf
shows, thin out two or three plants in
tie hill. If exceptionally large melons,
regular "prize takers" are desired,
thin to but one plant in the hill. Gull
tivate about as l do corn, hoeing each
hill after an entire patch is plowed. If
very dry, cultivate often, particularly
about the hills. It is some trouble to
thus prepare the ground, but it more
than pays in the size, number and quail
ity of melons produced, also in the in
creased lenpth IF time that +hu v;nas IVA

used about the creamery for cleansing
purposes would do harm also; hence it
is important that nothing but pure wa
ter be used about either boiler or the
building. In case the weather is cold,
and to avoid putting too much steam
direct into the milk, it is important
then to heat the water under the re-
ceiver watts to at least half the necessary
temperature for separating.
I know quite number of creameries
that have put this simple device in dur
ing the past summer, and find that it
not only lessons labor, but that by its
use better and more even temperature
can be obtained than by the use of the
tempering vat, and the cleaning of it
does not require onc-ffth of the time
that the usual watts require. The cleans
ing is done by pumping warm water
through the pipes and then steam
ing them thoroughly for about three
| minutes.
The illustration is simple and almost
explains itself. NJ p represents the
milk pipe or hose extending from the
milk vat to P, pump, which raises the
milk into the pipe joined onto the
pump. The milk naturally flows down
to the point II, where half-inch pipe,
S T, is inserted into T large enough to
take an inch galvanized iron pipe, the
end being plugged up tight and a num-
Der of small holes drilled in on side for
the escape of steam in small jets. The
half-inch pipe joins on the three-quar-
ter-inch by a reducer just below globe
valve which regulates the volume of
steam.
The pipes O O are to allow overflow
when the stopcock at F is partially
closed up, with the point o over milk
vat. The valve at base of pump also reg
ulates the flow of milk into separator
! (S). In case the flow vat is at an eleva-
ton above separator, it is only neces-
sary to extend the pipe from point H
directly into vat, and the only thin g
necessary would be a globe valve next
to vat, with the steam jet and 81
| faucet.
Not long since while at Sandusky
>institute, and discussing the creamery
subject, I mentioned this labor-saving
device, and a young man from Huron,
O., made special inquiry about it. In
less than a week he had one in their
creamery, and writes that it is simply
''out of sight" in every respect, and
wishes to thank me for putting him
onto the idea. know of five creameries
that are using the device, and they are
making butter that grades first-class
everywhere and at all times, and for
such reasons do not hesitate to recon-
mend it's use under the conditions noted

A Profitable Garden CroD.

Spinach is an important crop in our
market gardens and one of the most
easily managed of vegetables, requiring
but little culture, and may be had fit
for use the entire season. The main
crop is sown in August or, September
for spring use, ard, although ex-
tre1nely hard, requires to be protected
by a light covering of hay or straw
during the winter. For summer use
it may be sown at intervals of two or
three weeks, from April to August.
Spinach is best developed and most
tender and succulent when grown in a
rich soil.

Sure enough, the piano was

IMPORTANT DECISION

Rendered by the Swiss Federal Council,
Acting as an Arbitrator.
BERSE, Dec. 31.-The Swiss federal
council rendered a decision in the
matter of the arbitration of the claims
Of the French merchant and ship-own-
gr, NJ. Fabiani, against the republic
Of Venezuela, under the administra-
tion of the former President Blan-
20. Fabiani asserted that Blanco
had ruined him, and his claims
for indemnity were submitted to
the president of the Swiss Confedera-
ton for arbitration in 1891. The fed
sral council, in 1893, directed Prof.
VirgiIe Rossel, of the University of
Berne, to examine the case and give
legal opinion of the action of the Vene-
zuelan executive toward the complain
ant, who demanded $4,000, 900 francs
indemnity. The award promulgat
ed by the federal council simp-
ly recognizes the fact that JUS
tice was denied to Fabiani and
fixes the indemnity to be paid by the
republic of Venezuela at 4,346, 656
francs. The decisions solves a great
many points affecting the rights of
nations, private and international
rights and civil rights, and gives ex-
haustive explanations thereon. The
document, it is expected, will be of the
highest order of international value.
