THE FARMERS GARDEN.
Spring IL Not Far Away and the
Farmer Should BE Thinking
About His Garden.

And now for spring! To be sure. II
is not quite here. but the rapidly
iengthening days and the sun away UP
at noontime is good evidence that it
is % far away. In a few days the
bluebirds will be here then the robbins,
and one after another all the other
spring and summer favorites. We wiz
have cold days and frost, and possibly
snow storms, before spring is fairly on,
but a fellow can't help looking long
ingly at the old familiar tools he is
almost aching to get to work with.
About the first thing the sensible,
practical, down-to-date farmer thinks
of is the garden. He knows that hot
days and hard work are coming, and
that he must have a change Of diet to
enable him to do what he hopes to DO.
He must eat more vegetables and less
fat meat to keep In a healthy condi-
ton, and these vegetables must come
from the garden. Now Is the time to
prepare for It I have found 1t a good
and very helpful plan to draw a plat
of the garden on a piece Of paper, and
Indicate by lines where each variety Of
vegetable shall be planted. One can
lzsily ascertain the length and breadth :

My plan for preparing land for cot.
ton and c~ultiyating same, and varieties
to plant follows:
Break the land thoroughly in the
fall or winter when the ground Is not
too wet. Pulverize with a disc harrow
in February or March. On April the
lst lay off rows 3h2 to s feet apart,
quality or fertility OF land considered.
~ fertilizers are used, SOW about 400
pounds of A No. / cotton guano in the
drill. Ridge on same with two burrows
after the danger of frost is passed.
Split the middles, run a V.shaped har-
row on the tops of beds, then plant
with a good planter, about one bushel
of good early-maturing seed per acre.
AS soon as 1t ome up, run around it
with a rake, chop to a stand, leaving
one to two stalks in a hill, with 18
inches to three feet between the drills.
Side as 20 as chopped In 10 to IA
days repeat siding and chopping, run
ming pillow deeper than the first siding.
Split the middles, and in IL to ID days
side again. In 10 or IL days split the
middles again and lay by.
In case the land is very rich and in
clined to run to weed, | would use
more acid phosphate and potash, and
a very small quantity of ammoniated
manures. Plant the early varieties of
cotton always, when to be had. OF
course there are some good kinds Of
late cotton, but IL you can get a July
crop, you are safe, generally speaking,
for a good crop. The staple of the
varieties is generally good, q
to III inches long. Cotton can be side
dressed with nitrate of soda so pounds,
cereolite 100 to $50 pounds per acre,
about the LIST of July in siding furrow,
and to great advantage some years.

II a hen is healthy and has a good
appetite nostrums can not improve
her. Eggs are not produced from
powders, pills or solutions, but from
the food. A healthy hen is no subject
for medicine Or tonics. If she is sick
or dropping it is not out of place to
endeavor to assist her to recover her
health with a tonic. but while her comb
is bright red and she scratches and
works vigorously, enjoying her food
and laying eggs as fast as nature per-
mits, the use Of stimulants or tonics
will not benefit her or enable her to
lay another egg more than she would
without their use, even If they do not
injure her.--Farmers' Home Journal.

BECOMING COLORS.
Importance of Choosing shades That
Are the Rest Suited to the
Complexion.

Not n woman in ten realizes the i'm.
portance of ascertaining and making 8
careful study of the one particular colo,
most becoming to her, aud of always
having a touch of it introduced in some
part Of her dress,
The auburn haired woman looks best
In brown shading into the tones of her
hair or In rich dark greens.
The yellow-haired woman can wear
red. The greens. too, are delightful on
her, also certain yellows- and black.
White is less becoming, but she must
be brilliant in complexion or else most
delicate as to tints to wear grays and
blues to advantage. Blues, particularly
the pale and cold blues, are best adapted
to brunettes.
The woman whose hair is a dull brown
and whose complexion and eyes lack
brilliancy may still be most attractive,
but she should avoid bright hued or
glittering hats. Dull browns, neither
yellowish 0 reddish, should be select
ed. Avoid the satin straws. Take the
dull finish.

The we.tern Lsu,, =, co,,,n.

The semi-tropical habits Of cotton
have caused us to consider II fitted
only TO the humid or heavy rain bel,
OF the Gulf states. But a change is
rapidly coming about. The semi-arid
west is growing cotton a~bundantly.
The pods or bolls pop open in septem-
Der upon the prairies of west Texas,
Oklahoma and the Indian territories
like popcorn on a hot shovel. And
this cotton is made with less labor
per acre than elsewhere. The staple
Is good; the boil weevil has not invad-
ed these regions. The rains OF May
and June come Just when cotton
needs 1t, and the summer rains are SO
far apart they do not encourage crab
grass.
In company with Messrs. Sterley
and Gibson Of the Fort Worth &
Denver road. and Mr.. Oswald Wilson,
of Fort Worth, a Farm and Ranch rep
resentative visited Iowa park and
Wichita Falls on the heal edge OF the
great Panhandle to the greater pan.
We advised these people to plant cot
ton and diversity the single crop Of
wheat or cattle to which they are &C.
customed by resorting TO the f1eecy
staple. Since that visit the entire
country near the rail road has taken
up the cotton-growing idea. Carloads
of improved seeds have been ordered
for spring planting, and the results
viii be seen in thousands Of bales OF
cotton grown On those fertile, chocolate
lands. In Oklahoma, which has a
to every 100 acres of land, the
people are adapting the new cotton
radically and in all its details.
This, too, Is a good cotton country.

The Most Common Disease.

Williamson, Nj. d., a successful and clever
local physician, says:
There is scarcely another form of dis.
ease a physician is called upon SO often
to treat as Kidney Disease. | invariably
prescribe Dodd's Kidney Pills and am not
disappointed in their effect for they are
always reliable. | could mention many
cases in which / have used this medicine
with splendid success, for example, /
might refer to the case Of Mr.. A. I'll. Cole.
Age 81, greatly emaciated, some fever,
great pain and pressure over region Of
Kidneys, urine filed with pus or corrup.
tion and very foul smelling and passed

deal of water, gave brisk purgative and
Dodd,s Kidney Pills. The pills were con-
tinue regularly for three weeks and then
a few doses every week, especially if pa
tent felt any pain in region of Kidneys.

his duties as farm laborer in four weeks"
DR.. Williamson has been a regular prac-
%titioner for over twenty years, and his
unqualified endorsement Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills is certainly a wonderful tribute to

cROSS-STITcH EMBROIDERY.
IL Growing In Favor and VIII ne
Much in Evidence in the
spring Costumes,

Cross-stitch embroidery as a populal
fad seems to increase rather than 4
abate as the spring months draw near
says the Washington Star. Nor is scrin
cloth, which has been considered {
close rival TO linen, the only materia
which is being drawn upon for the foun'
dalton OF this embroidery.
The newest idea is to fasten a band
OF openwork canvas on the article to b
embroidered. As this canvas is espe.
cially prepared for such work, il does
away with the difficulty OF doing the
cross stitch upon a fine weave of goods.
The canvas a be procured in several
sized meshes, which makes II possible to
vary the design to suit the garment 10
be decorated. After the design is COM
pleted the threads Of the canvas are
carefully removed, leaving nothing ex-
cept the design on the goods.
With this simple method any kind Of
material can be used. including the soft
est muslins, silks and organizes. as well
as scrims and ginghams.
Pretty collar and cuff sets are still to
be seen made out of scrim and embroid-
cred in Persian or plain colors. These
are neat when worn over a colored stock.
Collars, stocks aud shirt waist plaits are
also made OF scrim and canvas and elab-
embroidered. Blue, red and yell
low are favorite combinations, as are
also green, blue and red.
Another pretty idea which is carried
out in cross stitch Is to make knapkin
holders Of linen, scrim or canvas. The
edges are cross stitched as simply or
deliberately as the worker chooses, ana
the color scheme s also left to the discre-
ion of the worker. A set seen recently
was entirely in yellow cross stitch,
