A ONE ACRE GARDEN PLOT.

We have friend who cares for an
acre garden lot, working it intelligent
ly, and it is really surprising to see
the amount Of stuff which he produces
from it each year. He grows all his
own fruit-strawberries, raspberries,
currants, gooseberries; has eight apple
trees-two Wealthies, two Duchess, two
Longfeld, two Northwestern Greening-
and eight plum trees of hardy varieties.
He has large asparagus bed and a
row of pieplant. His crops Of early
potatoes and peas are followed by
crop of late sweet corn or turnips. He
grows all the other common garden
vegetables more than sufficient for his
own use-and raises the finest celery in
his locality. He does all his cultivation
with small hand cultivator, ferti-
Lies heavily and allows no weeds to
grow in his garden. With his COW and
twenty-five hens he lives like fight
ing cock, and the care of his place
really takes but a very small part Of
his time. He has solved the problem
of a cheap and good living.

me never to lay rod to me- and knew,
as all the world knows, that Sir William

began to shame me into silence. Tin

He laid his heavy hand on the door;
then, turning, he babe me write with

Now, Sir William had hidden me not

bide here awaiting his good pleasure
That meant he would return by and

compel a change In his method of

find with farm hands is to get them to
care for the small things-ax board
or a fence wire when needed without
positive orders. keep the machines

whetstones. oil cans and the like,
where they belong-a lack Of care,
sense and forethought which the aver
age hired man either does not possess
or else does not feel called on to e1er-
else in the interests Of his employer.
