Every one who lives out of the city
should have a garden, even if 1t covers
but a few rods, that they may have
fresh vegetables and well-ripened
small fruits. 1t is surprising how
much can be grown on a few rods OF
ground if properly cared for. A rod
of land may be made to produce all
the strawberries which a small family
would care to eat, and half rod all
the currants for large family. A
rod may be made to produce all the
raspberries and blackberries required
and another ali the tomatoes, radishes,
beets, parsnips and late turnips.
When the garden is confined to few
rods two crops should be grown on
the same land each year. Peas may
be followed by rutabagas, squashes,
late beans, sweet corn, or celery,
early beets with late cabbage and
early lettuce with cucumbers. To
have a good garden, the land should
be heavily manfred and thoroughly
prepared before planting, and as soon
as the crop begins to grow cultivation
should begin and continue until the
crop covers the ground.
1t is mistake to suppose that the
sole object of cultivation is the de-
struction of weeds. While this is one,
and to many the principal object, it is
by no means the only one, for rapid
growth cannot be expected unless the
soil is frequently stirred to keep the
surface light and loose. AS soon after
a heavy rain as the soil permits, the
garden should be we'll cultivated, to
prevent crust forming on the sur
face. A hand wheel-hoe is an excel
lent implement in the garden. Three
times as much work can be done with
it as with the common hand-hoe, and
done much better, but in using a
wheel-hoe the weeds should never be
permitted to grow over an inch in
hight. When the crops gets large
enough to shade the whole surface OF
the ground cultivation may cease, but
if any weeds appear they should be
pulled by hand.--F. H. Sweet, in
American Agriculturist.

When possible, run the rows OF to-
matoes east and west. This will ex-
pose every plant to the sun. The to,
mato requires all the sun it can get
Tall growing plants, like corn or pole
beans, should never be planted OF the
south or east Of the tomato patch.
If for a field crop, mark off the land
four by four or five by five feet with a
common field marker, and with small
pillow open furrow about four by five
inches deep. II the land is very mel
low, as it should be, | prefer opening
the hills with hoe. This leaves the
land smooth and in better condition
for the weeder, which should be used
as soon as the plants are set l find
it pays well to take considerable pains
to make the rows straight, and of
equal distances apart. In large field
it is also we'll to skip say one row in
ten, which will allow of driving
through the field with the team in
gathering the crop.
Water the plants the night before,
or at least an hour or more before tax
ing them up. AS early in the summer
as possible, dig them, using a strong
garden hand fork. I very much pre-
fer the fork to a trowel, as it does
not destroy any of the roots. Leave
as much of the soil on the roots as
possible, and place the plants in a
shallow box. [ use as large box as
I can get on wheelbarrow, and about
six inches high. ''These are easily
wheeled about the field, boy taking
out and distributing plants and mar
on each side of the wheelbarrow to
follow and set. Be careful to firm the
earth well about the plants, putting
fresh dirt next the roots and flushing
off by brushing light covering Of dry
dirt on top as a mulch. [ consider
this latter very important. If the field
is far from the hotbeds, the plants can
be taken up in the boxes and then
taken to the field on drag, or low
down wagon, which, by the way. is q
very handy arrangement form any pur-
poses.
1t has been my experience that it
is best to set the plants little deeper
than they stood in the hotbeds, unless
the plants are "long-leggel, in which
case I would not put the roots any
deeper than the others, but would
lean the plant over SO as to cover a
part of the stalk with dirt [ have
found that drawn" plants will do very
we'll when treated in this manner.
The roots start out all along the stalk,
and if these long plants have been we'll
hardened off they will be found nearly
as satisfactory as the more stocky
ones.-A. A. Halliday, in New Eng
land Homestead

AGRICULTURAL.
A Few Points on Cherries.

Standard cherry trees should be set
from twelve to twenty feet apart, the
distance depending upon the variety
planted. Fifteen feet is a safe dis
lance for the common varieties to be
planted upon ordinary soil. Manellas
when planted on strong soil should
have at least twenty feet.
Cherries will do well when grown
on sod and do comparatively better
under such circumstances than the
apple, still it pays we'll to cultivate
the cherries in about the same way as
the better class of fruit growers cult
vate the apple orchard. In brief this
cultivation consists of q shallow plow-
ing in spring followed by occasional
surface civilizations until about the
middle summer, when some corn crop
is sown. When this is high enough
first cutting might be used as hay, and
when high enough for the second turn
sod and all under.

Log House Built by Women.

Near the border of Moosehead Lake
in Name is a picturesque little log
house, built By four women. They
sawed their own lumber, selecting
spruce trees with their pretty bark as
the most even and attractive. 1t took
eighty logs to complete the house and
the women went logging every day
for six weeks to get them. The floor
ing was of boards and the chinking or
filing in the cracks between the logs
which formed the walls, was done
with a tough moss obtained from
around the roots of old trees and
rocks, and hammered into place.
A complete little desk, with drop
front, pigeon-holes for documents and
everything handy and complete in
side was in the rough; the table was
smooth on top and had the rustic
finish on the sides, while the chairs
were formed into inviting and com
Portable armchairs by means of gnarled
branches and roots, which curved SUI
tciently to give the required easy
chairs and sofa. A bookcase was also
finished in rustic style. For the
porch they made large easy chair,
and the horse block for dismountlng
from a horse or carriage was made
of one piece of the trunk OF large
tree, with high supports formed from
little saplings.

Chiffon and Shirt waist.

Many of the bcdices in light fabrics
are pouched slightly at the back, af-
ter the fashion of three or four sea-
sons ago, and, when upheld by deep
belt, it is a becoming style. Accordion
killed hounces are another revival,
and little, fiat, fchu-like collars ar
ranged around the shoulders prevail
among the new blouses as well as the
gowns, while raised embroidered knots
of silk form charming trimming
For instance, on all exquisite blouse
the white chiffon bolero, appliqued
with delicately embroidered wild
roses, is finished with bands OF black
velvet embroidered with knots of pink
silk, and the under bodice of tucked
white chiffon is stitched with pink and
striped with the knotted velvet. An
other soft, fancy shirt is ofwhite chit
fon, wholly unadorned except for the
sprays of red roses with which 1t Is
painted. Every ambitious woman as
pires to lace shirt waist nowadays,
and a particularly splendid example
is of Brussels lace with a wee bolero
of cream guipure applique, with
motifs of deep yellow lace spangles
with silver and coque pearls. The
neck and sleeves are transparent.
Tucked pongee trimmed Ewith lace
makes cool and useful blouses, and
very odd and stylish are skirts OF
white silk with blacl; panne applique,
embroidered with cream thread and
insertions of guipure lace.

ager Empress OF China in the follow
ing words: In the reception hall the
Dowager Empress, a benevolent look
ing old lady of sixty-four, and not at
all the relentless virago she is COM
monty depicted, was seated on the
raised dais. and on slightly lower
seat sat the Emperor, who looked
more cheerful than usual, but was
evidently in very feeble health. After
the formal reception the ladies were
conducted into an adjoining room,
where tea and refreshments were
served, and soon after the imperial
pair came in and mingled uncere-
moniousry with their guests, saying a
few words to each and shaking hands.
Every time the Dowager Empress
made remark her Chinese interpre-
tiers fell PROSTATE on the ground.

Growing Parsnips on One Land.

1t is moi practicable to grow parsnips
in succession Cd the same land, as
they are apt to be attacked by large
worm, which always comes in the Sec
ond year and which makes such de-
structive work o the leaves as to de-
stroy the crop. Even when the pars-
nip is set to grow seed it should al
ways be dug up and replanted as far
as possible from where it grew. Where
a parsnip root is allowed to stand over
winter and reseed where it grew, it
shows the effect of winter freezing and
thawing, and also of lack of cultiva-
ton, as the ground is always hard
around it, Seed thus produced will
be worse than worthless for planting,
as the parsnip like the carrot very
quickly degenerates into weed when
it is deprived of good culture. In
some places wild parnips and wild car
rots have become among the worst
weeds that the farmer has to contend
with. They are, of course, biennials, and
pulling them up when they are going
to seed ends them, provided the
plant has not too far advanced 50 that
the seed will be perfected after it is
uprooted. But that in grass land
makes long job, as the plants grow
very small and seed when they are
less than foot high.
