Recognizing Opportunity

Multitudes of men and women
are waiting for an opportunity
to do some great thing when the
opportunity Of life is at hand.
The difference between a sue
cessfui and an unsuccessful man
is in part in the ability to
recognize opportunity. Others
had as good an opportunity to
lead the great spiritual reforma-
ton in Great Britain as John
Wesley and some may have had
the ability, But he saw the OPP
~portunity and they were blind.
The door was open for others
to discover the new world, but
Columbus had eyes to see what
could be done. Professor Morse
was not the only man capable Of
inventing the electric telegraph,
but he was the man who saw the
oppo1 unity. When he applied
for the privilege of stretching a
wire from Baltimore to Washing
ton, his scheme was pronounced
visionary and impracticable by
intelligent and educated men.
One man thinks that if he had
great wealth, orif hewerea sem
ator or governor, he would do
some great thing for his genera
ton, but he sees nothing that he
can do. The founder of the
Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton had no great wealth or posi-
ton or genius, but he saw the
open door, and heard the voice
of God. Dwight L. Moody had
neither learning nor money nor
genius when he began to work
for his fellow-men. But using
the talent he had he grew wiser
and stronger until the little one
became a giant.
How strange it seems that we
did not see the open door that
stood before us until it was too
late. AS many doors are open
today as the great men Of the
past found in their day. They
are close at hand. We need not
cross the sea to find them. It is
not necessary to 60 east or west.
They are here. The inventions
have not all been made. Truth
has pot all been developed and
published. Reforms have not all
been instituted. The world is
full of chances to do great things.
The need is great. The fields
are white already to the harvest.
Lift up your eyes," said the
Savior. But few have eyes to see.
The man who does what his
hand finds to do is the man who
grows. His talent is small at
first. He finds it hard to begin.
He sees little in the work before
him. But as he tolls his facul-
ties expand, his view enlarges,
his knowledge increases, his field
widens, and before he is aware
oft he is doing great things.

ANNALS. !, :. .
"Of the tall-growing annual plants,
the cosmos, Nicotianas and cleomes are
among the most deservedly popular.
The better way to plant these is be-
tween scattered shrubbery, altho they
in the fall. 1t grows gracefully to the
height Of FIVE feet, spreading out rich,
green feathery foliage, and bears an
abundance Of delicately colored single
flowers on long stems. It is we'll suited
for cutting. 1t may be planted close
to some unsightly building or fence
and will form an excellent screen, if
trained against support. The young
growths should be pulled gently to the
supporting piece Of wood and fastened
with short pieces of rubber Or cloth.
Inc p1cot1anas are useful in OBJ

foliage and numerous sweet-scented tu-

ment of the wheel hoe with the seed

light enough that they can be used
without undue fatigue by a fairly ro-
bust woman who is Jealous to make her
,labors count. These come in various
widths and the planting shold be done
with reference to the implement to be
sed
The wheel hoe. includes in its at
tachments two small plowshares turn
ing burrows in opposite directions
These may be used for covering seed in
furrow or for cultivating very close
to the plants in row. The other at
tachments are narrow cultivator SHOW
els and rake teeth. The cultivator por-
tion gives good surface stirring to
the ground between the rows and the
good work in uprooting weeds. A sin
gle plowshare turns a good furrow for
seed drill.
There are other and better reasons
for the small gardener for the use of
the seed drill than that it makes his
work easier It sows more evenly, COW
ers the seed more carefully and makes
straighter rows. One of the necessities
Of seed sowing is that the soil shall
be frmed about the seeds, especially.
if the ground is at all dry. With the
drill this is accomplished by means Of
! a wheel that runs over the furrow into
which the seed has been sown While
making drill, dropping the seed in
just the right quantity, covering it and
pressing it down, the marker of the
drill indicates where the next row is
to be run. For the small garden, the
combination Of these two implements
will answer every purpose.
Not only the vegetable garden should
be laid out in rows convenient for cul-
tivation, but the ANIMALS designed for
cutting should be planted in the same
way, and may well occupy portion of
the vegetable garden, perhaps forming
a border or central ornamental strip in
it. Where cut flowers are wanted in
I quantity it is not possible to secure
them. in the small ornamental plot or
and the flowers can be better and more
easily cared for in the .utilitarian por-
tion Of the garden.
By this time the whole garden plot
has been given careful cultivation and
its soil is mellow and rich, The I'M
occupied portion should have it's surface
stirred often toNprevent caking and to
preserve from evaporation the moisture
that the soil should be storing now fol
ground should be freshly stirred as this
will assist in keeping it moist and loose
until the plants can get up. Cultiva
tion should begin again as soon as the
{ plants show, in order that no hard crus
may form and that weeds shall not gel

I Seeds slow in terminating often suf

gardener should assure himself
that his arrangement is really the best
for his purpose. For all but the small
est sized gardens convenience and ease

wisdom to plant everything in rows

few hours and the first tender green is
