middle rows of the first bed should be
planted with second early pea, such
as Heroine or Dwarf Telephone and
the outside two with an extra early,
such as Motifs Excelsior, as this ar
rangement enables the peas first ready
to be picked without disturbing the

pursued in the second bed, a second
early filling the outside rows, while

Stratagem or Duke of Albany oc-
cupies the other two Nothing is
more vexatious to a gardener than TO
raise a patchy crop. To avoid this
the drills should always be made four
inches wide. For peas they should
be three or four inches deep according
to the heavy or light nature of the
soil. The seeds may be planted some
what thickly, say dozen to each four
inches Of row of the width recommend
ed. When six inches high, the soil
should be drawn well against the outer
stems in order to induce the plants to

THE SMALL GARDEN.
Guy ElIIoIT MlICHeLL.

A garden so constructed will stand
great extremes of wet and drouth,
for it is mistake to suppose that
plants on well laid up beds suffer in
dry weather, on the contrary they will
continue to thrive when those on the
level are whitening, so no one need be
afraid Of making high beds, though
eighteen inches from the crown to the
foot of the ditch is sufficient elevation
unless the location is very low. Some
people might think that to devote 50
much space to paths with such a
small area available is a useless
waste. This is not the case, for the
frequent paths enable the gardener to
till and gather his crops without the
necessity Of treading on the cultivated
ground, an advantage that far offsets
the loss of space. The same plan may
be followed on property a lot and a
half wide, though, II two full lots are
available, an additional grass walk
down the centre will be useful and add
much to the appearance Of the garden,
which. II all lines are kept perfectly

Nine Ainion Prows at Rork.

It's blowing time. Two hundred
million acres of land will be plowed
this year in the United States and
about 100000 plows are on the farms
to do the work. The capital invested
in plows alone represents SS0,000,00
Such a multitude of types Of plows
and Flowers can be found on this old
continent that we can but name a
few. In the great southwest the Mo
have with his three or four squaws
starts for the planting ground. Each
woman carried her digging stick, the
most primitive of fall plows, and the
man stands guard all day while the
original farmers" of this country dig
the land and plant their gourd seeds.
In Canada but for the interference of
the government we might see the
Doukhabor women drawing the pillow
in exactly the same way that they
have done for centuries. In New
England the oxen are being yoked,
and in the middle west the fourhorse
teams are ready In the south the
negro sits on his pillow hilt to watch
the train go by.
In other parts of the country we find
traction engines at work blowing
forty or more acres a day and requir-
ing but two or three men to do it.

hOw TO Make Baek Yald suppE the TabIe veoetabIes

Haveyoua smallgarden? Ifnot. why?
There Is no reason why anyone with
the slightest taste for the pursuit
should not be successful in raising
a garden with very small expense or
effort. Unfortunately in most works
on horticulture, and in ali short art
icles on the subject it is taken Ior
granted that the reader has some pre-
yious knowledge of the business, or at
any rate has his garden already pre-
pared by an expert. This will not be
the case with many who intend to
move into suburban homes this spring,
so II Is for their benefit the following
hints are given. Even the circum-
scribed area available at the back of q
twenty-five foot frontage, will il prop
erly handled, furnish enough green
delicaeies to materially reduce the
grocery bills during the summer, and
add much to the health and comfort OF
the family, for twenty-five foot lot
or ordinary depth should permit the
rear fifty feet to be used for gardening
purposes.
In many Instances careless contract
ors scatter the subsoil removed when
excayating Easements all over the lot.
When this has been the case the work
OF preparing the garden ground is in
creased as this unfertile soil must be
removed, until not more than three
inches are left on the plot 1t Is pro-
posed to cultivate. When this is well
leveled the ground can be treated the
same way as IL still covered with sod,
the trenching being carried slightly
deeper. The ground having been made
reasonably level the best course to
pursue Is to stretch garden line three
feet from the fence lengthwise Of the
plot, and parallel with it stretch an
other, leaving q space of two feet be-
tween them. Cut along both lines
with a sharp spade, and turf path
clear to the alley Is the result. Prob
ably the sod on this will not at first
look very tempting, but constant travel
over 1t, IL not too frequent, will I'M
prove it so that in time it will afford
smooth green walk Now dig al
trench foot wide and foot deep

venient for future use. Into this trench |

MISTAKES ABOUT NICOTINE.
Doesn't Accumulate In Pipe Stems
Very Little Nicotine Poisoning.

There are probably few subjects
about which more people are misin.
formed than nicotine.
Nearly everyone speaks OF the dark
brown substance which has about the
consistency and color of molasses and
accumulates in the stems of pipes as
nicotine. According to a scientific ar
ticle, it is not nicotine at all, and II
has no nicotine in it.
1t is nothing but tar-tobacco tar,
distilled from the smoke, just as coal
tar is distilled from coal and pine tar
from pine wood. One might swallow
all the tobacco tar that rank clay
pipe contains without serious harm.
IL he swallowed the same quantity OF
nicotine he would probably be dead
inside Of five minutes.
1t is the tar that stains the pipe,
and it is the same tar that stains
the cigarette smokers fingers. 1t Is
also found inside the nostrlls or one
who inhales smoke, and 1t puts an
indelible stain on mustaches.
1t Is true that tobacco contains
more nicotine than any other known
plant, but nicotine Is not a plentiful
article in nature. The rankest Ken
lucky tobacco contains less than per
cent of nicotine, and the finer grades
OF tobacco, such as Havana, have less
than per cent.
One often hears cigarettes condemn
ed because the smoker gets so much
more nicotine through inhaling the
smoke. The fact is that a cigarette
smoker gets almost no nicotine, be-
cause the tobacco of which cigarettes
are made contains next to no nico-
tine. Turkish and Egyptian tobaccos
carry only a trace of nicotine, and
some OF them none at all.
But no matter how much of this
deadly element a tobacco contains,
the smoker does not get 1t. Nicotine
is not extracted by burning the tobac-
co. Burning destroys 1t entirely.
One often hears of nicotine poison
ing, but it is very doubtful if there is
any such thing. When one is poison
ed with nicotine he dies, and he
doesn't get poisoned by smoking
There are plenty OF good reasons why
smoking should not be carried to ex-
cess, but nicotine poisoning is not
one OF them.

Thomas H. Hillard came from Ireland

He is now forty-six and a millionaire,

1t Is obvious that to ensure sym
metry, and for many other reasons,
pillow Is entirely out Of place in
gardens of this size. In order to
achieve success the work must posi-
lively be done by hand and conscient-
iously done at that. The expense Is
really very small, and need only be
incurred once, for a garden so con-
stucted will need very little work to
prepare 1t the second season.
AS to the use to be made OF the
beds when properly prepared, much
depends on the taste of the gardener,
but a very good way to utilize the
fences on either side is to SOW along
them scarlet runners mixed with other
beans. The runners with their gor-
geous flowers which bloom from June
till October are very ornamental. They
are also prolific troopers, and despite
an absurd prejudice against them, the
young pods, when cooked green, are
delicious, while the shelled beans are
superior to linas Scarlet runners
may be planted as soon as the ground
is warm, even as early as mid April,
for the bean itself remains in the
ground sending only it's shoot to the
surface. They should be sown two at
a time; about four inches deep, and a
foot apart, so that when all danger
of frost is over. more delicate beans
may be planted between them The
