THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.
The Kitchen Garden the Most Pr0A.
table Spot ON . Well-Regu.
lated Farm.

The home garden is the most profit
able spot on the farm. 1t will supply
50 per cent. of the family's living, and
if everything had to be purchased, it
would be quickly seen how profitable
a garden is. The last census showed
that the average value of the products
of the market gardens was $147.17 per
acre, while for wheat the average was
$11.65. The home garden 10 more prof.
liable than the market garden. There
is little waste and but small expense.
On level, perhaps low prairie lands,
sometimes not enough attention ID
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 a soil, thus plowed,
will be broken up finely. Use large
heavy seed. Do not plant old seed Of
any kind, for there is loss of vitality
in all seeds, after the first year, though
some, in case of necessity, can be used
even the third year, but when used
should be planted thickly. In the lati-
tude of northern Indiana and Illinois
and further north, gardens are apt to
be planted too early. Nothing is gained
by it. The pea, spinach and onion
will stand cold soil and resist some
frost. Beans, the cucumber, cante-
loupe, watermelon, squash, ETC., must
hav" a warm soil.
..e time of planting, however, now
being gone-for most vegetables-the
important matter is care and cultiva-
ticn. After every rain evaporation is
rapid, because the atmosphere is usu-
ally dry. and the aim should be to
break off the little pipes which the
pores between the soil and grains form
and through which the moisture from
the soil escapes. This is accomplished
by fining the surface, making an earth
mulch, and it should be done as quick
ly after rain as the soil is dry enough
to work. A damp surface does not sig
Nifty that the soil beneath is moist. It
is possible that nearly all the moisture,
in the process of evaporation, il at the
surface. Where irrigation is practiced
the same rule of stirring the surface
after watering, applies as in stirring it
after rain. If there is any reasona-
able practical way Of applying water
in dry spell, apply it generously, re-
membering that it requires n large
qauntity of it to wet the earth even an
inch or two. Saunders says: "Water
at any time that the plants need it,
even in the sunshine at noon." We
do not agree with this. If plants are
watered at night or in the early morn
ing, there is no necessity of adopting
the dangerous practice of watering
them in the hot sunshine.-Henry
Sommers, in Epitomist.

be accurate in the use of words The de.

'"The silvery moon hovered over the

The reporter sent in his copy, but Just
as the paper was about to be sent to press
be rushed into the editors room, all excite.
ment, saying he wished to make correc.

cording to the almanac, there was no sil.

And the reporter also said that he had
blundered in writing Of the 'contesting"

Wood said: Gov. Foraker doesn't dare
ask me any questions. have not told half
what l know yet. / am holding back my
best points for cross-exa mination, and he
knows it,
IF there is a single prominent man In
Ohio who docs not cherish a painful
memory of faith betrayed and friend
ship abused by Joseph B. Foraker, from
John Sherman down to Mayor McKisson,
the Times-Herald would like to print his
name in capitals
Concurrently with the above contri-
buttons to republican harmony in
Ohio, are published interviews with
Mark Hanna, attacking republican
Mayor Jones, of Toledo, and interviews
with Jones, attacking Hanna.
Says Hanna of Jones: "He is simply
a crank" "a disappointed candidate
for governor; 1.-The real workingmen
are not with him." ''he is backed by
the riff-raff and the idle fellows you
meet in every city-the liquor dealers
and buns were for him."
Says Jones of Hanna: HE is an in
tolerant tyrant and insufferable boss;"
'his reference to me and my ambition
respecting the governorship and my
connection with the labor convention
in Columbus is tissue of lies, which I
charitably charge to his leading char
acteristic, his colossal ignorance. If
we have reached period of the history
of the great state of Ohio when boss
like this can subvert the will of the
people, as he did at the Columbus con-
vention, then indeed may the reople
despair, for their cause is desperate" "
Republican harmony in Ohio, which
lately was able to sit up, take nourish-
ment and recognize folks, has evident
ly had relapse, and the worst is to be
feared.-Albany Argus.

1T Is encouraging to see SO many
leading republican newspapers coming
out with an open confession that the
trusts must go, and the only way to
kill them off is to destroy that which
makes them possible-namely, high

the republican party will never permit
the national convention to declare for

they will be seconded by Hanna and

Moisture Needed by Corn.

According to Prof. Milton Whitney,
a single stalk of corn requires a half
barrel Of water. That would necessi-
tate over 1000 barrels of water to am
ply irrigate an acre of corn. Allowing
for loss by evaporation and percola-
tion into the subsoil, ten inches Of wa
ter during the growing season will
afford ample moisture for corn, and it
can survive and make fair crop with

man that they had no right to fly that
