OUR GARDEN.

In English as She Is Wrote.
As soon as colo weather is done
Our garden is gayly begone.
But ere we are through
We find II is trough
That farming is work and no fone.
When the ground isn't wet so it kneads
We dig it and plant little kseads,
Ard then as they grow
We rake and We how
or else our whole crop would be kweads.
At first we endure a long drought
That burns all the green things abousht.
Then r4in brings a food
That turns into mood
The beds We so nicely laid ought.
Smart chickens (oUr neighbor's, Of courss),
March in like an army in fourse
And scratch with both feet;
Cows come in and eet
our corn without any remourse.
The moles in their vclyety suits
Make burrows, destroying the ruits;
Caterpillars, like thieves
Get away with the lieves
And pigs tear the ground with their snuits.
Though nightly we keep a sharp eye
on our melons, small boyx who are sleye.
And probably tough,
Crawl in and just slough
The melons we eat we must beye.
The cats on our onion patch fight;
Dogs roll on our bush beans for spight;
Stray horses will tread
Big holes in each bead
And make Us say things not polight
We work TIL ali over We ache;
No rest in a hammock we tacho;
We toll till the sweat
orrr m kCg rs Weat
And the sun makes US verify bache-
While others are off in a yacht
Enjoying themselves when 1t is hacht
AS sad as a ghost
We must stay home and rhost,
For that Is the gardeners lacht.
In spite Of our efforts designed
TO furnish a profit we iigped
Our garden in debt.
And that, you can beht,
Doesn't add to the peace of our migned.
We say when each summer is gone
That our garden next year'll be a lone.
And wen veg tables buy
So in bed we can luy
While others get up before done.
But when spring gives charm 10 the scene
And makes us and everything sgrene.
For all we are worth
We dig up the eorth
For the squash. pea, tomato and sbene-
