| FARMERS GARDEN.
! Hon. A. NJ Bush spoke Interestingly
Of the farmers Garden
! AS an adjunct to every farm a gar
| den was valuable acquisition, in fact,
| almost Indispensable. Despite the
force of this statement the speaker
saiS that no one farm In twenty pos
sessed a well-developed garden. The
| Minnesota farmer could raise apples
| which were superior in flavor to those
cultivated in the South. The great
| mistake of Minnesota farmers was
that not enough of orchard trees and
| garden seeds were planted. An acre
| of ground would meet the require
| ments Of the average farm. Enclose
1t with baby pine trees, and this ev-
| ergreen growth would In twenty-five
] years add a thousand dollars value to
| the farm. Next to the trees plant
| strawberry bushes, and next a row Of
plum trees running along the enclosed
| square. Next set out apple trees. Be
| tween the trees and in the center of
| the acre plant all rthe1 garden truck.
Between. the trees place the gooseberry
| and other berry bushes. Celery, as
| paragus and all kinds of vegetables
| placed on the inside of the square
would complete theigar1en.s In his ex-
| PLANTATION Mr.. Bush gave many valua-
| bic suggestions as to ~ planting and
| other details Of making the garden a
success. re
