SEED BED FOR THE GARDEN
Preparation Of the Soil Determines
What the Success Will Be
with Plants.

With a view of preparing the mos.
suitable seed bed possible for our gar
den, which is too often neglected upon
many farms, we first went over 1t twice
with a sharp disk harrow, the same
day it was plowed to a depth Of be-
tween six and seven inches.
One days sur was allowed in which
to dry off the surface of the soil SO
that it would not pack under the
horses feet. Then a float. was run
over it several times, and again twice
disked, and again the float until the
surface was level and perfectly fine
This n of working has given a
fine loose seed bed the depth of the
blowing, which will retain moisture
better, cause the plant food to be avail.
able to the plants, and will be ospe.
cially favorable to strong rapid ger
mination Of all garden seeds.
By this method, says the Prairie
Farmer, the plant requires the leas'
possible effort upon the part of the
young plants to send out roots and af'
ford connection with the soil. With
this preparation we can reasonably ex
pect cultivation to be more effectivel;
and quickly done than If the under sol
was full Of large clods.

ROTATION OF o
Conditions Which Determine Some
what the Kind and Order in
Which They Come.

AS to my own practice in the rota-
ton of crops, I would say that l have
to be governed much by circum-
stances. One of the largest circum-
stances is the chance of getting the
land seeded at every course of rota-
ton. However, VIZ have overcome
those chances by our present system
to a large extent, says the correspond
ent of the Farmers Review. Then we
expect to commence III rotation with
our land seeded in pasture or meadow.
Our pasture or meadow is broken in
early spring with a sod plow that turns
the burrows fiat and smooth, and we
plant to corn. We plant to corr the
second year and after without blowing.
Pulverize or disk thoroughly and plant.
This is on condition that we cut up
the corn, which we always do, and also
that the corn has been thoroughly
tended. Then the third year we SOW
oats after land has been thoroughly
disked and dried with a disk drill.
Then the fourth year u crop is rye,
for the purpose of seeding down, which
we p!ow in early fall and fit to the best
of our ability, and SOW one bushel and
a peck with a disk drill. Then we SOW
in early March timothy and clover ia
equal parts, with sometimes varied
preparations. With this plan we have
made seeding much more successful
than seeding with oats. We have
adopted the plan of clipping the
clover and rye stubble about the first
of September, which we think has a
double advantage of mulching the seed
ing and keeping the weeds from going
to seed. We sometimes make the
fourth crop a second crop of oats, and
shove the rye crop along to the fifth
crop. We NOW our new seeding not
less than two years before pasturing
We always draw all of our manure
with a manure spreader on our mead
ows and pastures, never On plowed
land. We are in a dairy and stock dis
trict, where we make much manure,
and there is a variety of rotations as
varied as the days of the week. A
very large part of the grain raised in
the county is used for feed, with much
bran purchased from the northwest.

WAS BROAD ENOUGH
Wartime "Reminiscences Illustrative
Of the Humor Of President
Lincoln,

Mr.. Linton Park, who is now IN in
mate of the Soldiers and Sailors
home at Erie, Pa, was among those
who Joined in the chorus, "We are
coming, Father Abraham, three hun
bred thousand more" He enlisted at
Washington, and was assigned to the
Second District of Columbia regiment,
relates Youths Companion.
Mr.. Park was then, as now, a vege-
tartan. While he could assimilate ev-
erything connected with his answer to
the call of duty from the stand of pa
triotism, he could not assimilate the
army pork. 1t was plain that If the
government wished to do the square
thing by Park 1t would have to show
observation-disclosures in the matter Of
rations.
So he took his troubles to President
Lincoln, and explained that in some
respects he was like the children of
Israel after they set out from Egypt.
He could not forget the leeks and
onions with which he was wont to re-
gale himself back in Indiana county.
Lincoln smiled. "You want me to
turn you out to Craze like Nebuchad-
nezzar?" he asked.
at would beat salt pork" was Mr..
Parks reply. Thereupon Mr.. Lincoln
wrote carelessly on an ordinary sheet
Of paper:
"The bearer, Linton Park, is here
with granted permission to browse
wherever he chooses"
Mr.. Park saw the humor in the note,
and enjoyed it quite as much as Lin
coin did, He also enjoyed his privi-
lege Of browsing" The note is still
in his possession.

SEED CORN.

The outlook for the farmer who
%speculates continues to be bad.
A nail here and a screw there, and
the setting UP of a slanting post, take
little time or trouble, and make the
place lcok "lots better"
When you are through using the
grindstone, let the trough down SO that
the lower part Of the stone will not
rest in the water. If you do NOT, you
will soon have a soft spot in your stone
where the water touches it.
The farmer boy has the best chance
in life and is usually able to fill every
position that is open. He does in his
youth the hard, difficult things that
call for pluck, a sound body and a fer
tile brain. Three cheers for the farmer
boy

HAYES like a vain and silly GIRL" ex-
claimed Jessie's aunt Marion, who had
no patience with such frivolous con-
duct.
"If Jessie had been the fourth
daughter in a large family" said Mary
Elizabeth, looking up with a smile,
"she would have learned to be thank
full for small favors. Until l had
passed my thirteenth birthday | never
nee went out of the house with a
costume every bit of which had been
made for me l usually wore Susan's
last years frocks and Mildred's last
years hats, retrimmed and freshened
up, and when l had a jacket it had
been worn before me by Ethel. Moth
er always bought good things that
would last and they lasted until sew
eral children wore them out. l was
cured of business before so much as
a wee leaf Of it cropped up in my
character. Generally speaking | had

Jessie had listened to both speak
ers with an air of serious attention.

"and l hate ugly ones. Why shall sis.
ter Louise, who is a young lady, wear
a corset that gives her a good figure
while l who have no figure at all am
obliged to wear a corded waist and
button my skirts to it,"
By this time | was so stirred up
that l was compelled to intrude my
views on the girls.
What on earth can you be thinking
of, Jessie? A school girls first duty
to herself is to wear healthful dress
and although corsets are excellent
and suitable in their place for grown
up young women, they are not parts
of hygienic dress for you. l hope
that you spend a good many hours
every day out of doors, and that your
director of physical culture superin-
tends your calisthenics and your ex-
ercises in the gymnasium. The gym is
as much an educational place for you
as the Latin class or the recitation
room where you study and present
any other abstruse subject in the
school. For daily use a school girl
needs well-made loosely fitting blouses
and skirts, and the weight of her
clothing should hang not from the
hips but from the shoulder.
Deep breathing is your great ne
cessity; your lungs should be filed
daily and often with the purest air
and your chest have abundant room
to expand. AS for shoes, you must
have common lasts broad
enough in the sole and low enough in
the heel to enable you to walk with
ease and grace. A school girl must
not wear a tight shoe nor a high heel.
You are too young and too pretty to
require much ornament in your dress,
and there is no sense in your fussing
over shirt-waists and simple stocks,

old sod land should be used for d
strawberry field.
Where such a field must be used it
should be fall plowed, at least two sea-
sons previous to planting with straw
berries and some such crop as early
cabbage, followed by crimson clover to
be fall plowed and the land immedi-
ately sown to buckwheat or rye for a
winter cover crop. The following
spring, after blowing, says the Orange
Judd Farmer, should be a safe time
to set the berry plants. From then
forward frequent rotation of short
period crops will keep the field free,
particularly if the land is more or less
bare in late spring and early summer,
when the eggs are laid.
