Good Wheat Outlook.

Kansas City Journal.
The country press of Kansas is unani-
nous in claiming for wheat the best all
around conditions known for years. Good
wheat conditions in March are not guar
antee of a large crop, but it is the ex-
perience of Kansas that crops are seldom
good when the conditions at this season
of the year are not favorable. Wheat may
look bit doubtful in the fall and winter
months but If plenty of moisture is present
in the first growing weeks of the spring
even poor looking fields display a wonder
full power Of recuperation. The testimony
of the country press in every section OF
Kansas is that the soil is saturated and
that the wheat plant is showing unusual
vigor.

Garden Work.

Eben E. Rexford, in Lppincott's Magazine.
= The first thing to be done in garden work
is the spading of the beds. Do this about
the 1st of May at the North. Throw up
the soil In clods, and let 1t lie as it falls
from the spade for three or four days, ex-
posed to the action of air and sun and pos
sible showers. BY the end of that time
good deal of moisture will have drained
and evaporated from it, and it will be in
a condition to pulverize easily. Work IL
over until it becomes fine and mellow. This
is important, for the delicate roots of seed
ling plants will find IT difficult to make
their way i'm coarse, hard soil. Also, fer
tilize it well. This is another item of great
Importance, for in order to secure a vigor-
Gus development we must feed our plants
well. Those living in the country, where
barnyard manure Is easily procurable, will
doubtless depend on this as a fertilizer
and, indeed, there is nothing superior to 1t
in nutritive yalue-but there is one serious
objection to it's use, and that is the GER
tainty with which weeds are introduced
into the garden by it. There will be all
the weed-pulling one cares to do under the
yard manure will add vastly to the crop.
/ have for some years past depended on
commercial fertilizers in the flower garden,
and am well satisfied with the result. BY
their use l get fine plants and no weeds.
1 do not mean that the person who uses
these fertilizers will not have weeds to fight,
but there will be only those which come
from seed in the soil. The gardener who
lives in city or village will find these fer
tilizers on sale at very reasonable rates at
all places where agricultural articles are
sold. They can be varied to suit the pecu-
liarities of the soil in different localities.
The dealer of whom you purchase will be
able to tell you what kind will be likely to
prove most effective with you If you give
him an idea of the kind of soil you intend
to use it on. He will also be able to advise
the proportion in which ii should be used.
These matters 1 cannot give definite ad-
vice about, because soils vary to such an
etxent in kind and quality that what would
apply in one place might not be the proper
kind to use a few miles away.
