THE FARM AND THE GARDEN,
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO AGRI-
CULTURIsT AND HOUSEWIFE.

The Busy Month of April, and the
Work TO BE Done-Prepnring the
Land for seedfng-Garden work
for the MOnth-"A Crop We'll Put
in Is Half Made"
There Is no buster month than April,
both in the garden and on the farm. Meth
er the farmer nor the gardener can afford
to lose a single day, The days are hardy
long enough to allow of doing all the de-
sired work of the day. Still the steady
going worker can do all that is proper, II
he is supplied with the best implements of
work. 1t does not take many days for
farmer or gardener to plant good deal
more than he is able TO cultivate well and
that is a serious failing all over the South
planting larger area than can be prop
erly cared for afterwards. II is the good
farmer. the intelligent farmer, who finds
use for much extra labor at this season
and all along during the year, in fact, for
the very reason that one can plant in
few days as much land as half dozen can
cultivate and gather afterwards.
Preparing the Land for Seeding,-rt is an
old saying that a crop properly put in Is
half made. 1t certainly pays to have a.
good seed bed-land deeply plowed wher-
ever necessary and well pulverized. The
roller is a very essential implement in the
South for putting in crops just right. beth
in garden and field. Most of our soils are
light naturally and these. after being deep
ly plowed, require a certain amount of
"frming' after the seeds have been placed
in the soil. And then any soil that has
any undecomposed vegetable matter in it
is sure TO be 100 open and porous for the
best growth of plants unless reirmed and
this can be done to the best advantage
only with a roller.
Il is not always necessary that the
whole surface be rolled, but it is desirable
to roll at least to the extent of a foot or
two along the seed rows. A garden roller
one foot wide will firm the soil six inches
on each side of the seeds and this rolling
will secure prompt termination of seeds
however dry the soil may be in the spring
To that width the clods will be all crushed
and the pulverized surface will allow of
the absorption of the dew TO an apprecia-
bic extent.
For certain crops, where the seeds are
dropped in hills. such as corn, beans,
squashes, melons, cucumbers, etc, the
foot may be used to firm the soil over the
seed even better than the ordinary roller.
For twenty-five years we have never fail
ed to secure perfect stands of all these
crops and with the very smallest quantity
of seeds as the result of learning the true
value of the foot of the planter 1t is only
a question of good seeds when this plan
is followed of having perfect stands
