THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.
The Kitchen Garden the Most Prof.
table Spot on IA WelI-Regu-
lated Farm.

The home garden is the most profit
able spot on the farm. Ii will supply
so per cent. of the family's living, and
if everything had to be purchased it
would be quickly seen how profitable
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
$l1.6j. The home garden is more prof
table than the market garden, There
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 Il stiff clay, the garden
should always he 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, nuEt
have warm soil.
.. time of planting, however, now
being goLe-for most veg 'tables-the
important matter is care ahd cultiya-
tion. 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. 1t
is possible thatnearly all the moisture,
in the process of evaporation, is at the
surface. Where irrigation is practced
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
waVred 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.

Moisture Needed by Corn.

According to Prof. Milton Whitney,
single stalk of corn requires 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 a fair crop with
much smaller quantity,-Dixie

though thera 10 not at present any
danger of serious disturbance, there ia
much dissatisfaction among the lower
class natives throughout the island and
there has been q good deal Of violent
talk by tho ignorant against the new re-
gime. The chief cause Of this anti
American feeling is the increase in the
cost of living since the American occu-
patton began, and the ill-treatment
that many of the natives in the country
districts have received at the hands Of
rough soldiers.
i Dissatisfaction is also expressed at the
delay in making the island part or a
territory of the United States with the
privileges and advantages that would
sccrue to the island from such rela-
ton, especially in the matter Of trade.
