SOME GARDENING SUGGESTIONS.

Feeding the SOIL is the nrSt ana most
important requisite, for without rich
soil that can be easily pulyeriZed it is
impossible to successfully raise plants
so tender in their infancy as garden
vegetables. In preparing ground for
the garden carefully consider the IN
dition of the soil and the needs of the
plants. Fertility is plant food and he
soil must contain nitrogen, potash,
phosphate, humus n moisture in lib
eral quantities to fully supply the needs
of the plant. Good barnyard manure,
worked int the soil, and wood ashes
applied as a top dressing, will supply
these needs. Not only must the soil
supply these food elements, but they
must be thoroughly mixed with and
Incorporated in the soil to become
available as plant food. Therefore let
the ground be heavily MANFRED and
every square inch, for a foot in depth,
well pIlVerized; the surface should be
smooth and even and if the soil is very
loose and light, roll the ground to make
1t firm and compact.
Moisture is the chief element in both
plant and fruit and is hardest to supply
at the time and in the manner needed:
deep, rich, pulverized soil retains spring
and summer rain and acts rs a reser-
voir for this surplus moisture, until
required by the plant in forming new
roots, leaves and fruit. Livery Tine root
let is a constant sucker, severely tax
ing even the best prepared soil for it's
sustenanCe, while in poorly prepared
soil II literally starves to death. 1t has
an animal nature, requiring food and
drink dS we do. 1t is almost human in
It's appreciation of good care. A fruit
plant with it's roots exposed to the wind
and sun will die as soon as a fish out
Of water. When tra~nsplanting, keep
he plants cool and moist until set in
the ground. In setting, trim ends of
roots and broken parts, spread roots
out in their natural position and press
fine, moist dirt firmly about them. With
strawberries, have the dirt just even
with the crown of the plant, with no
roots exposed and 70 dirt over the top
Of the plant. Cultivate, hoe or rake
around plants Immediately after set
ting and every few days thereafter
throughout the season. Take a little
more pains with the garden this year
than ever before and learn to know
what u luxury q good garden planted
with a large variety of carefully cul-
tivated vegetables is. Too many farm
ers do not know this because they have
never had one.
