Garden Polnters-N Now is the time
for all good men to plant e garden.
Nov is the time for all good men to
keep their hens at at'home. Speaking
Of planting gardens: little advice
at this time of the year on what to
plant would be. seasonable, If not use-
full. If you have only room for g.
small garden, 1t least two acres
should be devoted to young onions.
Be careful to plant onion. seed; some
people try..to raise. .onions..by hand or
word of mouth as they do money. but
it is not successful; leave the onion
seed in the ground and not 10 the
house or even on the doop step. In
this way honest, Intelligent looking
onions can be raised even by people
who drink OF e.tobacco to excess.
There are several kinds Of onions
but fried onions are considered a
little the lest for early planting.
Boiled onions should be watered the
same as COW, otherwi Use they may
60 dry, which is also true.of the COW.
Beans are also natives Of the garden.
There are many varieties. The raz-
or-back bean is quite thin but still
affords considera BILE nourishment and
trouble. In its early childhood tide
velops large spots, the color of a blue
mule. These spots are birthmarks.
Place this bean 10 a dish by itself.
At hotels these beane are served in
individual dishes the size Of a soap
dish, and when emptied they are
washed and used again-if not broke.
This is about the only excitement
this bean has. In large families they
take larger chances of being eaten.
The small white bean Is almost too
common.-to..speak Of. 1t has relatives
all over the world, and at one time,
was on speaking terms with Adams
apple. 1t should be planted in hills
and in every fourth hill piece of
salt pork should oe quietly dropped.
No we'll regulated garden is complete
without large bed of tomato vines,
to be joined later..by tomatoes, about
the size OF a league base ball run over
by the cars. Tomatoes are always in
season, but pepper and salt and "a
little vinegar can be added TO what
they already have. Canned tomatoes
do the best in this country during
the winter, but those picked off Of
the vines just bef9reisrhe six, o'slock

radish can be raised even if you
don't keep horse. Select a corner
of the garden near bumblebee's IS
nest; this gives the radish that pc
culiar sting which..is the bum olebee' S
speciality and the horse radish's pop.

about. three years after you plant it
and if..it isn't there it may have been
eaten by your neighbor. Short order
gardens do well in grocery store win

of peas can be gathered by phone
without resorting to the hoe or the
borrowed rake.-Grafton Record.
