There may be good work for Us to

who follows the, lead of Providence
will find himself useless.
The worker for Christ lives in the
atmosphere Of heavenly communings.
Notice how closely these men walked
and talked with God-Stephen (Acts
vii. %. $50. Philip wifi. 20. 29). Peter
TX. IL, 10. 20). Every step in the on.
ward movement of the church Is taken
under divine direction. The worker
keeps in telegraphic communication
with headquarters.
Tho worker must seek men, with.
out waiting for them to seek him.

made. Secretary Stanton once closed

Destroying the Cutwor,n..

During the cool nights the cut
worms are at work cutting down the
newly transplanted cabbage, tomato
and other plants. The cutworm eats
only at night, going into the ground
just before day, usually at the root
of the plant that 1t has cut down. BY
going over the garden and digging for
the worm wherever a plant has been
cut it can be found and destroyed. II
will hardly be possible to go over a
field every morning, but they can be
materially reduced in garden by de-
stroying them in the places of their
depredations.

Getting Best Result. From Small, Area.


Whatever may be the opinion of the
village lot-owner as to the real profit
of his garden plot, be 1t greater or less
| in size, there are few such in most
country villages who do not take con-
siderable pride in the cultivation of the
same. 10 say nothing of actual profit,
there is certainly a great deal of
pleasure in being able to provide ones
own table with a daily supply, even
though somewhat limited in amount of
fresh vegetables gathered as needed
for use from ones own grounds.
By a little study of economy in
space, and by keeping the whole area
of a garden even small in size well
filled with some growing crop through
out the whole season, the quantity
that may be grown upon even few
rods OF land would surprise one who
has never given careful attention to
the subject.
For many years past l have made a
careful study Of this question of econ
omy of space in the garden. and the
methods l have learned to adopt in
rotation of crops-or perhaps l might
more properly say the doubling-up Of
crops-in my little garden, may be a
suggestion to others along the same
line.
10 begin with, when l sow my first
early peas. which is just as soon as
the frost Ia out enough to allow spad-
ing of the ground, first SOW the peas,
and then alongside the rows scatter
some lettuce seed ana rake it in light
ly. This furnishes our best out-of-door
lettuce. entirely as stolen crop, and
with no disadvantages whatever TO the
peas; for land that is rich enough for
| peas win grow the lettuce in addition,
and not retard or injure the growth OF
| the peas. When large enough to thin
out and transplant, portion of these
| lettuce plants may be taken up and
set about the borders of beds of
onions, beets, carrots, ETC., and be-
tween the rows, where they will head
up TO fun size, if of the heading va
rieties, and furnish succession of this
salad to follow that grown among tho
peas.
Then, when the tomatoes are ready
for planting out, have practiced set.
ting these between the rows of peas.
as before they are large enough to
interfere with each others growth the
peas are ready to be removed from the
ground, leaving the tomatoes to occupy
the whole space, and thus practically
securing three crops from this land
When the early potatoes are re-
moved. the land occupied by them is
llled with celery. cabbage and turnips.
and in fact we frequently have plant
ed these between the rows of potatoes
before they were dug. so as to have
them well-established and ready for
growth as coon as the potatoes are taxi
en- out.
Hubbard squashes may be planted
among the sweet corn. and pumpkins
also. II one cares to grow these In
the garden. aud the land on which
the dwarf early corn has grown may
be utilized either for turnips or late
cabbage for winter use.
These suggestions vii. give a gener

there ought to be law against spoil

it looks SO sat-down upon that it's

shining through little rlmless eye

one and then the other of the girls.
