Cultivating the Garden.-The majority of
farpora Oiv hnt little attention tn pardQOInO
They regard the spade, hoe and rake as i'm
plements which involve too much time and
labor. If farmer desires to grow crop of
any kind he prefers to do the work with
pillow and cnltivator and in wholesale man.
ners This repugnance to using the small tools,
in order to grow supply of vegetables, has
been the cause of depriving hundreds of farm
ers of luxuries that would have cost but little
I if they had considered the value of the crops
from4 garden, and also the real cost compared
with crop of grain or potatoes But there
are, however some farmers and their wives
who know how garden helps to make farm
ENJOYABLE and they are the ones who will now
enjoy the work of planting the seeds of the
many different kinds of vegetables, for there
is no portion of farm life so agreeable as that
of preparing the ground in the spring for the
garden There has been an advance in the
system of gardening While the hoe, rake
and spade still hold place in the list of gar
den tools, yet they have been superseded main
