VEGETABLE GARDEN
BEST LOCATION SONH HIGH LAND
"a FACING THE SOUTH.
Directions as to the Proper Fertilizers
to Use = 1t Is Best to Grind the
Corn for Stock-The Farmers Tool
Chest.
Mellow Soil Is Necessary.

The ground for the garden should
face the south OF southwest, and should
be high and dry land If the ground is
low and fat, it should be drained. The
best garden soil is sandy loan for the
early vegetables, and n clay loan FOR
midsummer and late vegetables, ana a
clay loan for midsummer and late rail-
vegetables Sandy lands are easy to
work. have fewer weeds, and are quick
Iy warmed up; but they quickly lose
fertility and suffer badlyffrOm drouth.
Such lands can be greatlysimproyed by
spreading a thin coat of clay over the
ground in the fall, and by,keeping the
soil covered with a crop OF rye, to be
plowed down early in thetspring. BY
following this system for few years,
the ground can be deepened every rail-
about half an inch, and thetrye will fur
nish a good part of the vegetable mat
ter that will be needed in growing the
crops After such crops are filled with
vegetable matter, the fertility of the
soil can be maintained byta yearly ap-
plcation of 500 pounds OF dissolved
bone and 400 pounds Of kainit spread
to the acre. The bone should be used in
the drill, and the kainit' spread broad
cast in November.
Clay loans are particularly suited to
growing late peas, cabbage, tomatoes,
pole beans, and all the root crops.
Ground that has never been In garden
should first have an inch coat of long
manure spread over the soil. The early
fall is best. If the work is delayed un-
til spring, have the manure we'll rotted.
The manure should be plowed down
with strong team of horses, blowing
the land at least six inches In depth.
Let the ground be we'll narrowed both
ways, and after each narrowing give
the land a good rolling. The secret of
profitable vegetable culture is in hay
ing a deep, rich, mellow soil, planting
the crops that suit that soil and eli
mate, putting the seed in at the right
time, with the proper quantity of ma
nure, and giving frequent and thor

Earu1er,s Tool Chest.

No good farmer, especially among
the younger ones, should do without
suitable work bench, furnished with
the common kind of tools most wanted
for use. Have place for these where
work can readily be done as wanted.
Have a supply of hardwood sawed in
different dimensions for Whiffietrees,
eveners or many other things that will
be wanted in the way of repairs or 9th
erwise. Have also receptacles for nails
Of different sizes, as we'll as for screws
and bolts. These are all cheap, are
often wanted on the instant, and, If at
hand, will save vexation and expense.
4 supply of copper wire, rivets, clout
nails or tacks should be kept constant
ly on hand, and will be found of great
convenience. A combined anvil and
wise, weighing forty pounds, can-Or
could once-be bought for So, and will
he found one of the handiest appliances
in the shop. Thus equipped at little
cost. the farmer will be able to do
MANY small jobs that will effect a con-
siderable saving in time, travel and
money that would, necessarily, other
wise be incurred. Besides this, the
moral and education effect upon the
boys on the farm will be of beneficial
kind and should never be lost sight of.

Prof. G. Stanley Hall, of Clark Uni
versity, has been collecting facts con-
cerning the fears Of children. The fears
of children, he says, are generally Gre
ated by parents. Prof Hall found that
1,701 children had 6,456 fears, the lead
ing ones being the fear of lightning
and thunder, reptiles, strangers, the
dark, death, domestic animals, disease,
wild animals, water, ghosts, insects.
ITS and mice, robbers, high winds. etc.
4 few of these fears are rational. In
New Jersey no children were found to
be afraid of high winds, but in the
West that fear naturally leads all 9th
ers. AT Trenton, however, sixty-two
children were found who dreaded the
end of the world, a fear created entire
ly by adult teaching. The table shows
what education can do in this respect
No child was found to be afraid of the
devil. Two hundred years ago and less
that fear would have led all the rest
Few were found who were afraid Of
ghosts. a fear which would have stood
high on the list not long ago. At Cam
bridge, Mass. only 15j out of 500 bows
were afraid of thunder storms and only
$50 out of 500 girls. The fear of rob
bers and of wild animals is survival.
though robbers have not disappeared
as completely as the wild animals. For
ty-six New Jersey children were afraid
Of being buried alive, monstrous
thing to inculcate in the child mind.
Fear will always be one of the strong
est influences i'll human life, but at
least it is possible ny teaching wha t
real danger consists of to eradicate
groundless fears.

Grind the Corn for Stock.

Ground corn is more easily, and
much better, digested than whole corn.
Where the corn is grown on the place,
and most of it is to be fed out at the
barn, it will pay to buy good horse
power mill The steel sweep mills that
can be had for 500 will grind two thou
sand bushels of ear corn with one set
of plates. With two heavy horses four
teen bushels of ear corn can be ground
per hour. If the corn is sent to the mill,
half the day is lost going and coming,
and the grinding has to be paid for i'll
addition. The same time spent in going
to and from the mill would do the
grinding. Where twenty cows and
young stock are wintered, and corn
commands S1.40 per barrel, 1t will pay
TO grind the corn and mix it with bran.
Better feeding results can be had, and
the full value of the corn and bran will
be utilized by whatever stock to which
it may be fed, and far richer manure
made from the stock so fed
Some of the small dairymen slice
their ear corn, and then boil it for sew
eral hours; it is then mixed with mill
feed and cut hay and thrown into a
heap to ferment for few hours before
feeding The grain and cob is made
quite soft, and is very palatable to the
stock. The corn and the water that it
is boiled in being mixed with the hay
and millfeed is easy of digestion. and
there is scarcely any waste. Those
farmers far from mill, and having a
mill of their own, will find this method
of preparing their ear corn a very safe

Did Not Like WIGS.

Signor Arditi says, in his rem
iniscences," that Alboni, the prima
donna, had the greatest adherence
of wigs. Arditi became bald at a
very early age, and when he was
conducting in New York it occurred
to him that there could be no better
time than that for adopting artif-
cial headgear. He bought wig OF
the latest style, put it on, sailed
forth to the theater and bore as
philosophically as might be the sur
prise betrayed by the orchestra at
his novel appearance.
No one, nevertheless, made any
remark upon it, and while the mu-
sicians were tuning up in the ar
fists room, he began to feel quite
comfortable in his new head cover
ing. Presently the door opened and
Alboni's face peeped roguishly in.
"Where is Signor Arditi?" she in
quired of one Of the company.
''Here I am, replied the conduct
or, rather shamefacedly, stepping
forward. She looked at him for a
moment, and then burst into laugh
ter.
What, Arditi!' she cried. "Is it
indeed you in that wig? Never, in
the world! My good friend,
should never be able to sing with
that before me. Herel" -. .
With one bound, she seized upon
the unfortunate wig, dragged it
from his head and threw it to.the
other side of the room. He did not
replace it, and though he always
fancied that a wig would become
him, he never again wore one. ~

I have come across a scheme that

happened within less than 100 miles
of Memphis, but as there was no ar
rest made it would not be proper to
mention names or places. =:
'The matter came to the atten-

The Texas postmaster reported to

the letter contained sharp piece of
paper which was little large for
the envelope, causing the latter to
bulge out little. This being the
case, when the letter was pressed
tightly between bunch of others
the sharp edge of the paper cut
through the envelope, giving it the
appearance of having been cut with
knife. But in ascertaining this
I struck upon a little romance.
"There was a young schoolgirl
who had been raised more than IS
miles from the nearest railroad sta
ton in small country settlement.
She was desperately in love with
her schoolteacher, and he recipro-
Gated, but both were as poor as
could be, and he argued that there
could be no marriage without
money. Hence it was that this girl
figured out a scheme by which she
could raise the funds Her family
had formerly lived in Texas, and
she had an uncle living there still.
She opened up pseudo correspond
ence with this uncle, writing all the
letters herself and sending them to
Texas to be remailed there to her.

one of the early settlers in his Sec

last letter narrated the death of the
uncle and the fact that he had left
to the girl legacy Of 81 500. This
letter was shown to the fiance, and
it was on the strength of this money
that the marriage was to occur.
THE girl went even SO far as to
go to the Brownsville (Tenn.) Saw
ings bank with an attorney and
present draft for the amount, pur-
porting to have been drawn by the
Texas uncle upon a Texas bank, in
which the letter said that the leg
acy was on deposit. But the loYer
thought there was something wrong
with the matter, and SO did the
bank, for the draft was not cashed.

this country girl evolved such a
scheme and how near it came to get
