BOOKS FOR THE FARM.

In the city. people go to the books
In their we'll furnished libraries. The
order of things Is reversed for the
country; books go to them! sup
pose 1t was that large hearted and
sympathetic woman, Lady Aberdeen,
who was the first to start the timer
ant library box, in those dreary,
sparsely settled districts of Canada.
l have visited In many old-fashionei
farm houses, where the big family
Bible, that is only opened to admit
birth, marriage or death, occupies a
place of honor on the archaeological
center table; book of etiquette,
volume of unpopular poetry, and some
school books that the children happen
not to have worn out are the only other
ones to be seen.
Where there can be no night school
for boys who must begin their life
work early, what more delightful than
this secondary education" supplied
by the travelling library. To have
lovely fairy book, or real life fairy
story to read to the young ones be-
fore bedtime, how charming! My ex-
perience is that the more CHILDREN are
read to, the more eager it makes them
for reading by and by! What
solace for a sick child, or indeed a
sick anybody. These are my mar
cotics!" said a confirmed invalid,
pointing to some entertaining stories
on the Shelf
The farm family is proverbially
hospitable. What splendid oppor-
tunity for charging its circle of
friends. And how varied! Some to
excite smerriment, like Mark Twain;
some sympathy and a desire to help,
like Jacob Riis; some to visit far
countries with Mrs. Bishop, or Alas
ka with Jack London; and so on.
Then, as these new-found friends
must pass on, choicest spirits can be
invited to abide with you forever,
by small money purchase. So the
travelling library ranks with the rural
mail and phone, to lift yet another
burden of dullness from the life of
the family on the farm.

fishes the following timely article:
Warmth is an essential to the sue
cessful cultivation of cucumbers, and
1t Is far better to defer planting until
the latter part of July than to risk
the possible loss involved by pre-
mature seeding and caused by a late
frost or untimely cold wave. In the
South, however, where summer is
least trady in its coming, cucumber
planting is customary at any time
from the middle of March to the be-
ginning of May, but such a procedure
would be inviting disaster in most
of the more prominent pickle grow
Ing centers. But whatever the time
for pianting-which, as indicated, nec-
essarily varies with the climate
picking begins six or eight weeks
later. according to the progress made
by the crop.

They send their roots through the
