is little waste and but small expense.
On level, perhaps low prairie lands
sometimes not enough attention Is
given to the drainage of the garden.
If the soil is stiff clay, the garden
should always be plowed in the fall.
By spring such soil, thus plowed,
will be broken up finely. Use large
heavy seed. Do not plant old seed OF
any kind. for there is a loss of vitality
in all seeds, after the first year, Though

EARLY CAMP MEETINGS.
Were Led by Ministers of varf-
Gus Denominations.

The first camp-meeting in America
was held on the banks of the Muddy
river, in Kentucky, in August, 1899,
and was conducted by the MCGEE broth
ers, two eloquent evangelists. 1t lasted
for little more than a week, and the
novelty of it and the success which at
tended it were SO marked that there
arose an immediate demand for con-
tinuance of this form of worship. Ac-
.cordingly, the meeting was speedily
followed by large number of camp
meetings throughout the west. So
great was the interest they excited that
in some instances a single meeting was
attended by two or three thousand per-
sons, resulting in the complete deser-
ton of the neighboring towns and set
! Elements for the time being. The first
camp-meeting marked the beginning Of
a revival of religion which assumed
such proportions and wrought such
| widespread good that it has passed into
history as the great revival" 1t wa'
