Corner Stones of Success.

The four corner stones OF success in
thorough tillage and careful thought.
do not say that have given them
in the order of their Importance.
there may be a difference of opinion
in regard to this, but no one of these
can be omitted. Everyone should
paste this in his hat until 1t becomes
so thoroughly impressed upon his
mind that he cannot neglect any one
without being condemned by his con
science for neglect of duty |. The
best seed is none too good Q AS
much manure as possible should be
made. and every particle saved and
applied at once to the soil or saved in
such condition that IL will neither
burn nor leach tin wanted for use.
3. No one should say that will do"
until he can do better Tillage cannot
be too thorough, especially before
planting. 4, If man does not make
his head save his heels. he cannot
succeed. Thought with regard to any
crop is required from a time long be-
fore il is planted till the money for it
is in his pocket Follow out these
four lines, and success will be sure

The Farm Garden.
1t is very easy to grow two crops on
a garden even during our compare
lively short summers If proper care is
taken in making the plans in the
spring
Radishes and lettuce may be grown
during the entire season and one crop
of these succeed another. The plot
devoted TO these two valuable mem
bers of the garden family should be
made very rich to begin with and as
using them other seed should be sown
ut once in order to have another sup
ply coming on. The earlier radishes
will mature inside of 30 days and sew
eral sowings week apart should be
made in order to keep the supply CON
slant, as they are not good when
oyergrown. For winter radishes the
seed should be sown at the same time
as the turnips and may be sown with
the turnips with better success often
than If they had been sown alone.
For early lettuce SOW any OF the
forcing sorts advertised by seedsmen
and for the later supply SOW the head
varieties, thinning them to foot
apart. The thinning may be done by
using the surplus heads, always pull
ing the plant out by the roots instead
of cutting it off, leaving a stalk wher-
ever head is to be grown. Farmers

Why Some Fail
IT Is an easy matter to set a few
currants and gooseberry plants along
the fence row, and then leave them at
the mercy OF weeds and worms with
out fertilization or cultivation Then
