Early Vegetables.

Sow the earliest varieties of peas and
corn the first day frost is out of the soil.
On frosty nights protect the young plants
with newspapers or anything handy.
Suppose you fail. What oft? It's fun,
and who can't afford to lose ten cents
worth of seed? You can fail three times
this season aud still get peas and corn
two weeks before the croakers! The
chances are you will beat them by a
month. Enterprising amateur garden
ers have done this for years without
having to cover single plant The

Current Press Comment.
Growth of Libraries in Vermont

One cannot help noting, in reading the
annual reports OF the various Vermont
towns, the large amount of money and
effort expended on public libraries. This
is most encouraging and satisfactory
condition of affairs, and is in marked
contrast with that in the olden days.
The character and extent Of free libraries
in the Vermont towns are remarkable and
argue strongly for the interest that our
people have in this important matter.
The town, albeit small one, that does
not have we'll selected library of several
thousands books to-day is back num-
Der and is a fit object for missionary
effort Mortified News.
