Small Garden Plots.


The small garden is the one that
gives its owner pleasure. Probably the
majority of those who cultivate small
gardens make no profit, but actually
suffer loss, when the crops are COM
pared with the cost of seeds, fertilizers
and labor, but there is considerable
pleasure derived, the value of which
can not be estimated. No matter how
small the plot owned or rented may be,
the one who can bestow portion OF
time to the cultivation of garden crops
this spring should do so. There are
some things grown in a garden that
can not easily be procured in market,
when the freshness and quality are
considered. No one can buy tomatoes
IN market equal to those taken from
the vines and placed on the table. If
a plot is very fertile, and Is no larger
than half an acre, the amount of prod
nee that can be given thereon will sup
ply an ordinary family from early
spring until late in the fail. Beginning
with onions and green peas, with beets,
carrots, parsnips and early cabbage
followed with string beans, Lima
beans. tomatoes, sweet corn, turnips
and late cabbages, two crops can be
grown on the same location during the
season. Potatoes need not be planted
in garden, as the crop demands pro
lection from the beetle. This spring, il

Farm Help Problems.

The greatest problem to solve by the
farmer during his busy season is to Sc
cure capable help. Those who know
nothing of the duties to be performed
ON a farm advise all unemployed per-
sons to seek work in the country. The
fact is that such persons are as useless
on farms as they are in factories, yet
the farmer cannot afford to teach his
help during the busiest period of the
wear. What is meant by competent
farm hands are those who can go on
farm and fully understand what is to
be done without the necessity of the
farmer being with them constantly to
point out here and there what he
wishes them to do. 1t is cheaper for
a farmer to do the work himself than
to be encountered by an incompetent
assistant.

Drainage Important.

Snow does much harm on farms that
are not well drained. 1t not only re-
mains longer than is necessary, but
keeps the land wet and slushy. All
drains should be opened to permit the
surplus water to rapidly flow off. A
heavy freeze coming on suddenly
while snow is melting may damage
wheat. The barnyard should be well
Uttered with abundant absorbent ma
terial to prevent the stock from sink
ing to their knees in mud and becom-
ing chilled by loss of heat from stand
ing constantly in ice-cold water.

when Housekeepers Are Frightening
the Interiors of Their Homes.
Now that the backbone of this re-
markabe winter is broken, housekeep
ers are remarking the dingy look Of
the home interior. The question of
new wall coverings is up. Paper is
dear and short lived; kalsomines are
dirty and scaly; paint is costly. The
use OF such cement as Alabastine, for
instance, will solve the problem. This
admirable wall coating is clean, pure
and wholesome. 1t can be put on with
no trouble by anyone; there is choice
of many beautiful tints; and it is long
lasting.

MAIL CAR BOLDLY ROBBED.
POUCH FULL OF LETTERS STOLEN
IN 3. q I. RAILROAD YARDS.
Probably Taken From Train During
Transfer Of Mails TO Wagon for
Delivery to Seattle Postomcc-
Empty Pouch Found Near BY.

A United States mail car was boldly
robbed while standing on the main track
near the Seattle & International depot
late Friday night. The robber escaped
unnoticed with a leather pouch contain
ing letter mail from Sumas. Two hours
later the pouch, ripped open and entirely
empty. was found on top OF car of coal
standing on the tracks about fifty yards
from the spot where the mail car was
when the theft occurred. The government
detectives who are investigating the case
say that the robber probably secured but
a few dollars in coin and bills, since the
pouch. as they claim, contained no regis
tered mail.
The Sumas train came in about 10 o'clock
Friday night. On its arrival the mail was
at once transferred TO the Seattle post
office in covered wagon. which was
backed up to the car for that purpose.
The driver of the mail wagon and his as
sistant claim that 1t Is impossible that the
sack could have been lost In transferring
the mail from the car. When the mail
was removed the ear was switched onto
q sidetrack and locked up for the night.
About midnight switchman passing
along on top of the coal train found the
empty mail pouch. He reported the mat
ter to Police Officers Sprengle and Barr,
on First avenue, and they In turn report
ed to the postoffice. which took charge
II the empty pouch. Until that time the
pouch had not been missed.
The pouch was found to have been has
tily torn open. as II with dun knife. Not
the slightest trace has been found of the
missing letters. Postoffice Inspector Way
land Is making a searching inquiry into
the case.
The police officers consider It probable
that the doors Of the mail car were open
on both sides. and that the thief stole the
pouch from the unlighted side OF the car
during the transfer OF the mail to the
wagon. In view of the fact that much
money Is now being received through the
mails by Seattle merchants on account Of
the holiday trade. II is regarded as posi-
BILE that the robher secured more money
than the postal detectives are inclined to
admit.
