Sowing Spinach.

Early spinach is seeded in the fall.
The ground should be plowed and made
fine, plenty OF well-rotted manure ap-
piled, and the seed sown In rows about
16 inches apart, which should be done
with seed drill having small roller
TO cover and press the earth on the
seeds the depth of planting the seeds
being about half an inch. The seed
should be sown before cold weather
sets in. When the plants are up let
them grow until the ground Is frozen
and then cover with straw, which
should be removed early In the spring
Spinach is a very hardy plant and Is
-eldom injured by cold.

heave Of the ship would SIND us stag

There was pause, filed with much
whispered talk from above. Then the
red head Of our friend Tim Blake came
thrusting into the picture. He seemed
much distressed at the situa ton.
