A TINY BIT OF GROUND.
What May Be Done With Plot Twen.
~ by Fifty Feet


A space 90 By 81 feet may under in
tensive culture be made to yield fresh
vegetables for small family through
half the year. With 40 by 80 feet or
80 by 100 there can be a garden spell
ing riotous plenty.
Have the sp"ding done as early as
possible. use thoroughly rotted ma
nure and supplement It with some
good commercial fertilizer, either
broadcasted and raked in or put IN
hills or drills.
1t Is a waste Of seed, strength and
time to plant q garden in poor soil.
The seed will come up, the spindling
plants will be harder to work than If
they were luxuriant, and the resultant
crop will be mostly conspicuous by its
absence. So, if it be impossible TO do
more, make small rich beds, four feet
wide and as long as the manure holds
out, and SOW them crosswise with
such things as radishes, lettuce, cress,
parsley, beets and onions. Make the
rows a foot to eighteen inches apart
tuce also yields more for broadcast
sowing Pull out the thriftiest as soon
as edible and leave the rest TO grow.
Radish tops make excellent greens,
something better favored than mus
tard. By sowing thickly you can have
dishes of green's.
Say the garden Is 40 by so feet, this
Is something what the planting Of 1t
should be: Dwarf early peas, medium
early and late peas, beets, early and
later; beans in succession, including
bush limas; carrots, radishes, toma-
toes, cucumbers, peppers. Do not ad-
venture upon corn unless 1t be sweet
corn planted on the pea space as a sec
ond crop, to come in just before frost.
Make an asparagus bed all across one
end Of the plot, setting two-year-old
roots and fertilizing the bed heavily In
early summer just after cutting ceases.
Peas are so hardy they may be
planted before snow is past, provided,
Of course, the ground is right when
they go IN. Make it fine and light,
cover the seed at least three inches
deep, then tramp the earth over them,
setting the feet so one track touches
the other A quart Of seed will SOW
a hundred feet Of drill the proper
thickness. An ounce of beet seed Will
SOW the same row length.-Circle Mag

A MINISTER'S STORY.
II Didn't Have the Intended Effect
Upon the Congregation.


1t Is said that Il New England min
lister once told the following story just
before the collection was taken up:
Il have heard of a man, prosperous
and we'll to do, who went to church
one Sunday and put a cent-just q
plain copper cent-in the collection
box.
ION the way home he was Oyertaken
by q sudden heavy shower and, hay-
ing no umbrella, crawled into hol-
low log by the roadside to keep him
self dry until the dOwnpOur was over.
"Soon the log began to swell, and
the wetter 1t got the more 1t swelled
until the sides finally closed in on the
prosperous citizen and held him In
grip like wise. =.
1.-THE rain ceased, but the unfortu-
nate man was unable to move hand
or foot. He shouted for help but no
one heard him. He was about to give
up In despair when he suddenly thought
of the cent he had dropped into the
collection box that day, and 1t made
him feel so mean and small that he
cfaWleu TlSHI out VI the lOS "lIhOuI
any further trouble.
Now, if you expect to get caught In
q shower and be obliged to take refuge
in a hollow log on the way home, by
all means put a cent in the contrtbu-
ton basket If you don't anticipate
crisis Of that sort-well, you will know
what to do when the basket is passed"
The minister expected a shower OF
silver and bills to follow this story,
but unfortunately lust as the collec-
ton began q black cloud passed over
head, it suddenly began to sprinkle,
and the pennies fairly rained into the
contribution basket Only one quar-
ter, solitary dime and lone nickel
were found among the coppers, and
they got in before the shower began.
The congregation, it seems, had all
left their umbrellas at home, and they
were not taking any chances.-New
York Times.

If The Cap Did Not Fit Why
Do You Wear 1t?

In answer to an unwarranted attack
made upon me and the line of pianos |
am handling am compelled in Justice
to myself to make reply through this
paper. My advertisement in question
referred to by my would be competitors
did not refer to any party or piano in
particular but to the general run of
pianos. The least l can say is that if
the cap did not fit why does this party
wear it. The party says that the pianos
we handle are the cheapest on the mar
ket and that are sold at fabulous prices.
In reply to this l wish to say that this
is a fabrication pure and simple, and
the party who wrote it knows it to be
false, and did it to injure me, and mis-
lead and deceive the people.
have never sold trash and when the
time comes that have to offer trash to
the good people of this vicinity | will
turn them over to this party who seems
to be better posted on trashy pianos
than | am. | have sold a large number
around here and can get a recommend
from any and all of them as to the
merit of the piano they bought and the
treatment | have given them. AS to
this firm stating that they are competi-
tors of mine, | wish to say that | do not
acknowledge any one as n competitor
who has to call all other agents pianos
trash and are not men enough to sell
their pianos on their merits.
We have never sold II piano we are
ashamed of and we have never bought
piano we are ashamed to sell Any
one who ever bought piano from me
got as much (if not more valued for
every dollar they paid me as they could
from any first class dealer.
In conclusion we will leave it to the
public to decide us to the business rep
utation | have here and | am not afraid
of the verdict. | have always tried to
run my business ON business principles
and be as liberal with my customers as
possible and the ever increasing trade |
have enjoyed from year to year is evi
dence and satisfaction enough to tell me
that | do not need the wise man from
Cuba City to come here and tell the
people about me and my business.
Thanking the public for the conf
dence | have enjoyed and hoping they
will not pay any attention to unjust
criticism published by one who is far
from being critic, | remain,
Respectfully yours,
