An Ideal Plan for a Garden.
Of, B. WeSt)

Last month gave your readers my
method of building a poultry-proof
garden fence. I will now endeavor to
give them my plan of blowing this gar
den preparatory to pulverizing and
planting it. We pillow furrOw through
the center of the garden, turning to
the right and throwing the burrows
together. Continue in this manner till
the garden is plowed. 1t is simply
a case of "back furrowing" that every
pillow boy in Oregon and Washington
fully understands. Every time the
garden is plowed with a turning plow
proceed as stated above, always keep
ing the back furrow in the center of
the garden The object sought is to
raise the center of the garden and
have it gradually slope to each side,
SO that it will be high enough and dry
enough for the early garden. The OBJ
iect is to get the soil higher in the
center of the garden, so it will afford
better drainage and be warmer than
the surrounding stoil when planted.
If the space set apart for the early
garden is more than needed for the
beds, plant short rows to fill the re-
naming space and cultivate with hoe
same as the beds.
Plant the early garden the same dis
lance on each side of the first two fur
rows or back furrow, leaving space
ten or twelve feet wide at each end
for the purpose of passing through
with team in blowing and putting in
the later portion of the garden. In
fact. you go around the early garden
all the time and do not disturb 1t and
it is not in the way. Continue to
plow always in the same manner until
the center is as high as desired. BY
rounding the corners trifle Gas you
naturally wil) you will have fur
row around the entire garden which
will become full Of water in wet wea-
ther By making ditch short dis
lance with a shovel this water will
escape and the garden will become dry
much earlier than if let remain.
In planting the later garden have
the same number Of rows on each side
of the early garden. In cult1vating
the later portion of the garden 1t Will
ne necessary to pass around the early
part. going through the space that is
not planted at the ends of early gar
den-left implanted for that purpose.
Make all beds on the high ground in
the center of the garden, as you will
not cultivate them with plow and Gull
tivator. Plant the rows on each side
of the beds or early garden and culti-
vate as stated above. BY proceeding
as given you will be enabled to have
your garden planted much earlier than
to follow the common plan, for the
reason that the ground will be higher
and dryer in the center of the gar

work their distribution entailed. The
postoffice department had to establish
a special station at the company's fac
tory to handle the calendars as they
came from the wrappers, and to get
them off special mail cars were placed
at the disposal of the company as fast
as needed 1t required about 2,400
mail sacks to handle the output.
Fix things so the calf can never
suck it's dam, and when the cow has
mothered it for a few hours-dont be
in too great rush about it-milk
about three quarts of her milk into
pail put it under the Calls nose so as
to touch it, and in minute it will
drink from the word go, and you have
won out. and kept your piety besides.
A calf that has never sucked will
drink as readily as it will get the hang
of finding it's own dinner. By the
same rule heifer should always be
hand MIXED, and then she knows no
other way.
Breed your dairy COWS this winter
and spring so as to calve between Sep
TENDER and December. A calf dropped
during the fall months and led warm,
fresh skim milk from the separator,
with a daily grain ration, will make
much better growth during the year
than if born in the spring. 1t should
be added that the calf must be kept
perfectly dry, clean and comfortable,
which is not hard to do under the
proper circumstances.
One night or day exposed in a cold,
wet storm will render more injury to
a mich cow than ten nights in COM
fortably provided quarters afterwards
can repair.
The dairyman who fails to observe
promptly a decrease in the production
of any COW is poor excuse for dairy
man or else very careless.

Satisfied With Williamson Corn.

It was the writer's good fortune
to meet with Mr.. John w. Miller,
one of Trenton's leading farmers,
a few days ago. Mr.. Miller told us
of his experience with. William
500 corn this year. While he has
not actually measured his corn,
he is entirely satisfied with the
yield. Mr.. Miller's opinion, which
is we'll founded, is that unless the
land is in a very high state OF
cultivation the corn should not be
planted closer than Is incnes in
the drill. He says ii can safely be
planted eight, ten and twelve
inches on fertile lands but not on
comparatively thin lands.
