inches deep.

on the starch in the seed TO reach light,

Nature plants broadcast and about
twice the depth of the size of the

been exposed to frost in winter and is
sorted and drilled right, you should

MODEL FARM GARDEN.
Long Rows, Systematic Planting and
Horse TlIInRe.

Horse TiIlaBe.
This garden was made upon the hor-
ticultural grounds of the University Of
Illinois Labor saving methods were
practleed as far as possible. The gar
den (half an acre. was laid out IN the
form of a long rectangle C2S0.5 feet 10y
77.65 feet, with the rows extending
lengthwlse of the area and for the
most part placed sufficiently far apart
TO adndt OF horse cultivation. Care
was taken to work the ground in
spring when 1t had reached exactly the
right degree of dryness so that a seed
bed could be prepared without the use
Of any hand tools whatsoever. The ar
rangement OF the vegetables in the
garden was, with few exceptions. in
the order of their planting, so that it
was possible TO harrow the implanted
portion at sufficiently frequent inter
walls to keep it free from weeds and
well supplied with moisture.
Furthermore, the early crops which
occupied the ground only part of the
season were planted together SO that
after their removal the land might be
planted TO later crops, the cultivation
Of which would prevent the growth of
weeds that might otherwise be allowed
to go TO seed and increase the labor of
hand wedding the next year. The veg
etables being arranged strictly in the
order of planting could therefore be
planted in freshly worked soil without
the inconvenience of preparing a mar
row strip of implanted land between
rows already planted.
The garden was kept in high state
of cultivation throughout the season
with the one horse cultivator until the
crops had grown so large as to prevent
the passage of the implement between
the rows and with the wheel hoe for
the early planted vegetables during
April and May. Later considerable
hand hoeing was done.
In training tomato plants a stake
FIVE feet long was driven beside each

plant, and the plant was kept tied to
this stake by tying at intervals OF
about two weeks from the time the
plants were well established until they
had extended above the tops of the
stakes.
Instead. however, of being pruned
absolutely to the single stem form
shown in the cut the plants were prun
ed early in the season to one stem and
then allowed to branch freely higher
up. This gave an abundance of fruit
ing branches, and the crop was enor
nous. averaging slightly over one-half
bushel of ripe fruit per plant. The
fruit was also very large and smooth.

COntriYancc For Lambs.

The cut shows an effective and prac-
teal lamb creep. The idea is valuable
on account of the economy of shed
space secured. A plank on which
cleats are nailed leads from the ground
up on a platform about three and a
half feet high. On one side of this plat.
form are arranged the troughs for the
lambs to feed from, and it is remarka-
bic how soon the lambs learn to make
use of the whole contrivance.
Lambs naturally take to climbing.
They can often be seen to run to the

CLIMATIC CURES

The influence of climatic conditions in
the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and a regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and the absence of that
weakening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhaust
ton due to coughing, the greatest danger
and dread Of the consumptive, can be
prevented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able to 20 TO warmer cline, you
will find that of the thousands of con-
sumptives there, the few who are ben
efted and regain strength are those who
Use German Syrup. Trial bottles, 25c;

ELECTRIC LIGHT AGAIN
Current Was Turned On Thursday
Evening After Long Suspense
of Operations.

On Thursday evening the current
was turned on the incandescent cir
cult. The dynamo was connected with
the water power at the Menasha pulp
mill some time ago, but various delays,
among which was writ Of execution
on a claim of J. S. Owen against New
man, no current was produced. The
writ was finally released and tnen came
various delays.
But now, after several months of
suspension, the incandesceuts are run
ming. In the meantime many of the
business houses have fitted out with
gas plants which they will probably
continue in service.
The ownership of the new service
is somewhat in doubt-it may be New
man, McGill & Co., McGill, Newman
& Co., or some other variety of the
same old crowd"
But the public will heartily wish for
an improved service and if that wish
is realized there will have been some
benefit in the peculiar movements that
have affected the light concern in re-
cent months.
