The value of frames to a small gar

large gardens but contain them, vet in
a way they are of more value where
land for garden purposes is not plenti.
full In the latter case the owner, who
wants to fully supply his table with
fresh things, tries to get all that he
possibly can out of his limited space.
By means of moderate size hotbed,
lettuce, radishes and other quickly
maturing plants may be raised for
winter use. Other plants may be
started in late winter, for transplant
ing to the open ground in spring, thus
securing the earliest crops possible,
and opening the way for a succession
OF crops to take the place of the early
ones. OF course, this sounds more
extensive than itreally is, for all vege-
tables cannot be handled alike; but
sufficient that it can be done to some
extent by careful and studious gar,
dener.
Considerable judgment must be ex-
erclsed to make thorough succession

regulated to agree with the plants to
be grown. AS an example, lettuce
especially that grown in early winter
is liable to draw upward to the light,
a very undesirable thing where good,
solid heads are wanted. Therefore,
the pit should be shallow to bring the
plants fairly near the glass. This also
applies to all seedlings intended for
transplanting; they must not be drawn

A Farmers Experimental Plot.

institution by itself. The sue cessful
farmer must net only thoroughly I'M
derstand his business, but must be

experience Of himself and from scien.
tific experiments and researches made
by specialists. He must keep up with
the times Every season he must be
better farmer than the previous one.
He must be able to say he has learned
something that will make his business
more profitable, either by lessening
the cost of production or the improve
ment of the quality of the produce of
his farm. For this reason he should
be able to know what his farm is best
adapted to raising.
1t would pay any farmer to have an
experiment acre on his farm. This
should be of soil that most nearly rep
resents his farm, and not selected be-
cause of its depth or richness. As all
plots about well-kept farm, it should
have a neat fence that will turn all
stray cattle, pigs or chickens that
might chance to get beyond their own
forage fields. The ground should be
carefully layed off in plots, with walks
and paths between the sections. 1t
should be mapped and planned each
season before planting time, and then
layed out in strict accord to the plans
made. A record book should be kept,
each section, bed or row numbered
and everything concerning it during
the season should be iotted down for
future reference. One seasons study
of plant will usually show whether
it would pay to raise it extensively or
whether it would not pay at all.
There are also new methods of tend
ing the plants already familiar with,
which can be tested in the expert
mental plot before old and tried
methods are abandoned.
The studying of books and journals
devoted to the farming interest will
suggest items which the farmer may
desire to test before introducing on
his farm. He can jot it down on a page
of his record book devoted to new ex-
periments and make his plans accord
ingly to accommodate it the following
year. OF course, he will not be able
to try everything he might desire to,
but he can pick out the most impor-
tant from the list each year.
Nor need the plot be an expense
without q return. A well-conducted
plot will be self-sustaining. The
kitchen table, the poultry yard, sets
and tubers and seeds for the next sea-
son, all can come in on the profit side
of the balance sheet, at the end of
the year. The experiment acre will
be of the greatest benefit not only to
the farmer himself, but to all his
neighbors as WELL By keeping in
touch with the State and Governmental
experimental stations and running a
miniature station of his own, the far
mer will not only save himself many
expensive mistakes but will learn
many things that will mean a goodly
addition to his yearly income and add
to the value of his farm. j. L. Irwin,

couraged to grow solid and stocky.
Even such slender things as peas could
be started trife earlier by sowing
the seed in pots plunged in the frame,
and transplanted later. This would
not pay on large scale, but to obtain
few dishes for the table it would be
desirable. Then care must be taken
in the regulation of air and protection
from frost, for raised in this way

A Good Woman Gone.

Shortly after 10 o'clock this morn
ing death released Marie, beloved
wife of Frank Tercinski, from her
earthly suffering. She had been con-
fined to her bed for the past two
weeks. and although at first her con-
dition Occasioned no undue alarm, it
rapidly grew worse until her family
and friends were forced to realize that
her recovery was impossible. She re-
ceiYed every attention that medical
skill could bestow, but all to no avail,
the Grim Reaper finally claiming her
for his own. Bright's disease is as
signed as tie cause of death.
The deceased was born in the town
of Emmett, April II, 1850, having
therefore just entered her fifty-first
year. She was married to Mr. Ter
cinski, April y, 1871, and the fruit of
the union has been five children, of
whom three sons-Guido, Clarence
and LeO-survive, with their father.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tercinsk1 had lived hap

be long cherished by family, friends
and neighbors. In her home life she
was one of those noble characters who
have rendered the American freside
an ideal place-a loving, dutiful wife,
and kind, indulgent parent. 1t is
there that her loss will be most keenly
felt. But she will also be sadly missed
by her circle of friends and in the
neighborhood in which she lived so
long. She was always ready to lend
helping hand wherever needed and
her kindly offices will be often re-
counted by the many who can bear
testimony to her charity and faithful.
ness of purpose. She was a firm be-
lever in the brotherhood of man and
possessed Christian spirit which ever
kept her in the straight and narrow
path. In their deep affection the
members of her family have general
sympathy.
Mrs. Tercinski's funeral will be held
from her late residence on Thursday
afternoon at o'clock.
