ducing more than twice as good
To illustrate: A farm of 200 acres,
100 of which are improved, receiv-
ing careful treatment and above
the average condition OF farms in
the vicinity, has II cash income of
from 5000 to 800 yearly as the
result of the work OF two men. An
adjoining farm of forty acres, with
the same labor, averages about $500.
A river" farm of forty acres with a
little more work, gives about $1,000.

double our production without any
increase in the area of improved
land. France, with nine times our
population to the square mile, pro-
duced over eight bushels OF wheat

with 1897. Our production for the
same period was but little more than

If we look after the breeding of the

Prepare the soil, which should be
rich loan, by blowing deep and
narrowing well. Then set your
plants in rows 3 feet apart, and 2
feet apart in the rows, running north
and south, if possible, in order to
secure better advantage of the sun
shine. Cultivate by blowing and
hoeing. When the plants begin to
bloom top the stem just above the
first cluster of flowers, so that the
flowers terminate the stem The
effect is that the sap is Immediately
sent into the buds next below the
cluster, which soon push strongly
and produce another cluster of
flowers each When these are WISH
BILE, the branch to which they be-
long is also topped down to their
level. This is done five times in
succession. By this means the
plants become stout, dwarf bushes,
not over Is inches high. In adj
dition to this, all the laterals are

the fruit acquires a beauty, size and

;sr:e Through the Lead
Ing Newspapers.

The few remedies which have at
tanned to Worldwide fame, as truly
beneficial in effect and giving salts
faction to millions of people every
where, are the products of the
knowledge of the most eminent
physicians, and presented in the
form most acceptable to the human
system by the skill of the worlds
great chemists; aud one OF the most
successful examples is the Syrup of
Figs manufactured by the Califor-
MIA Fig Syrup Co. Unlike host
of limitations and cheap substitutes,
Syrup OF Figs is permanently hene
fetal III its effects, and therefore
lives and promotes good health,
while inferior preparations are be
ing cast aside and forgotten. In
olden times if IA remedy gave tenn
porary relief to individuals here
and there. it was thought good; but
now a-days Il laxative remedy must
give satisfaction to all. II you have
never used Syrup of Figs, give it
trial, and you will be pleased with
it, and will recommend it to your
friends or to any who suffer from
constipation, or from over-feeding,
or from colds, headaches, bilious
ness, or other ills resulting from an
inactive condition of the kidneys,
liver and bowels.
In the process of manufacturing
the pleasant family laxative made
by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
and named Syrup of Figs, figs are
used, as they are pleasant to the
taste; but the medicinal properties
of the remedy are obtained from an
excellent combination of plants
known to be incidentally laxative
and to act most benehcally. AS
the true and original remedy, named
Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co. only,
a knowledge of that fact will assist
in avoiding the worthless limitations
manufactured by other parties. The
Company has selected for years past
the leading publications of the
United States through which to in
form the public Of the merits Of its
remedy, and among them the TINES

erence to its advertising columns.

FOR THE FARMER,
The spring Garden.

While some of the garden crops,
like lettuce, radishes, beets and
onions, may be planted as early in
the Spring as the soil can be worked
into a good filth, the main garden
crops should not he planted until
the soil is warmed up and the dam
ger of hard frosts is past.
1t is an item to plant 81 as to
keep up good supply through the
season and yet lessen the work of
planting as much as possible. With
many vegetables by planting early
and late, or early mediums and
late varieties. good supply may
be kept up with less trouble than
by depending upon repeated plant
ings
1t is best to have the garden in
such shape that it can be plowed
and narrowed; as this can be done
at much less cost than spading
and filming with the rake and hoe.
Plow deeply and thoroughly. A
deeply stirred soil retains moisture
better and is more easily kept in
good filth.
Planting everything in long rows
not only economies space, but les
sens the work of cultivation and
affords a better opportunity OF keep
ing the ground occupied through
the season. By planting in long,
straight rows the garden cultivators
can be used to better advantage,
which will lessen the work of giving
clean cultivation. The size of the
seed should determine the depth OF
planting. Small, light seeds need
little covering, while larger, heavier
seeds should be planted deeper.
Then, the condition OF the soil will
make some difference; with plenty
of moisture in the soil less depth is
necessary than if the soil is dry.
With all garden crops it is an
item to use plenty of seed in order
to secure good stand. Generally
it is easier and better to thin out
than to replant.
1t is also better to plant with the

soil level and in a fine filth. By
keeping the surface level, the cult
Walton can be repeated as often as
may be necessary. A soil level and
in fine filth will retain moisture
better than one cultivated into
ridges.
By using the pillow and harrow in
preparing the ground, planting in
long rows, using the garden cult
vator, garden making will he much
easier than by the old way of using
the spade and planting in little beds

How can we produce hei-s that
will lay 200 eggs per annum7 By
scientific breeding, as for a good
butter COW or cow mixer, as for a
good trotter or high jumping horse.
Experiments have been made to in
crease the number of rows of corn
on the cob with success. The same
method is applicable to poultry
breeding. We will start with hen
that lays 1870 eggs Some of her
chicks will lay $50 per year. From
these we will pick out layers, and so
on until 200 hundred or better are
