THE INTENSIVE GARDEN.
Lessons From Small Plots Cultivated
by French and Belgians.


by French and BeIsians.
II we would live by gardening we
must study the ways of gardening
1t was a shrewd old English farmer
who used to say to his sons, Put the
horse to, and let us drive around and
see what other people are after"
The French market gardeners about
Paris are the most skillful growers in
the world-except the Chinese-and
the average garden Of an acre or two
titled to the eyebrows" as they say,
shows the following returns, given by
our consul and business men interest
ed In the matter:
There are Of course exceptions,
where the total income from one acre
is $4,000 a year, but as a usual thing
the gardens yield but $1,5OO to the
acre, and the average annual profit Of
the gardener is not over a thousand
dollars"
How many ministers and college
professors and teachers and small
shopkeepers, artists and literary folk
are making a healthy living and put
ting a thousand dollars year in the
bank besides?
The common French gardener makes
this by intensive gardening. True, he
begins with certain advantages. For
generations before him his family have
rIo hn In,
the best methods runs in the blood.
Within q ten mi.e circuit Of Paris are
1000 market gardens, models of care
and culture, some Of which have been
years. These gardens are not large;
the largest is said to be not more than
four acres, common gardens are not
more than two acres, and not the
smallest profits are taken from plots
of a quarter acre, titled with the finest
care.
Their very name, the marais gar
dens, comes from the marais or marsh
es of the Seine, which were drained
four generations ago to get at their
rich black soil. These plots are tuck
ed away in angles of the old fortifica-
tions. or backed by the city walls,
which protect them from north and
east winds. Or else the garden has
its own walls, eight to fifteen feet high
on the north and east sides. giving q
climate of its own.
Old gardens dating from Louis Phil
ippe's time and before. have hollow
brick walls with heated iues to force
winter fruit on trees trained against
them. A border two and a half feet
wide along these walls will yield more
fruit Of the finest quality than We
commonly take from half an acre Of
orchard. In winter leanto or SPAN

YOUR PICTURE WITH TAFT's.
A Trick of Photography That Has
Proved Profitable In Washington.

A Trick of Photography That Has
Proved Profitable In Washington.
If you want your picture taken
with President Taft come to WASH
ington. It's sure thing proposition.
Whether the biggest man Of the ma
ton is at Beverly or Ballymahoo, it's
all the same thing. For the nominal
price Of half a dollar or a bagatelle
of that sort you can go laundering
down to posterity on a piece of paste
board clasping hands with the king
of America or cosily-locking arms
with his honorable greatness. or
course, as far as the president goes,
1t is absent treatment, pictorially
speaking. All you've got to be par
ticular about is to be on hand your
own self.
Way down "the avenue" close to
the Capitol, an obscure little photog-
rapher's shop floats on its frontal a
drapery Of white cloth bearing bla-
tantly the black legend: Come in
and have your picture taken with
President Taft" .ss's.'.s
The trick is turned, Of course, by
the simple method Of imposing the
customers figure beside the stock
plates of President Taft with out
stretched hand, as II in greeting, or
in a friendly arm and arm pose. The
illusion, however, is very good, and
the perpetrator has been making
money ever since the inauguration,
when postcard takers filled the streets
with similar enticements. The Capt.
tol or White House looms convincing
ly in the background, and in the
forefront there you are in the presi-
dental grip and under the radiance
Of the presidential smile. OF course
your friends in Wayback believe they
have ocular demonstration that you
are the whole shot, when you come
to Washington!-Louisville Courier
Journal.

HOW FAST DOES CORN GROW.

Farmer Could Make a Good Guess and
He Wont a Wager on II.
How fast does corn grow these hot
days and nights?
Wallace Rankin, the hardware
dealer, says 4 travelling man lost IS
on a wager in Oswego this week be-
cause he took the wrong end Of a bet
with a farmer as to how fast corn
reaches heavenward. The travelling
man bet that stalk Of corn would
not grow six inches in the time nam
ed. The travelling man lost his wa
ger by an inch and the farmer won
his by one inch and five hours.
The wager was made as the result
of remarks made by the farmer as to
how fast corn was shooting up. He
got off the old remark about its grow
ing so fast in the night, that he could
hear its joints pop.
The drummer laughed at him and
told him he was mistaken.
Its easy for you to say your corn
is growing that fast" he remarked:
"but you haven't got any money to
back up your claim"
"Yes, I have" said the farmer.
i've got plenty Of money, and I hate
to get more by taking it from you on
a dead sure thing, but since you're
such wise one and have tried to run
a bluff on me I'll just cover your IS
and bet you that that corn grows six
inches in thirty-six hours"
1t looked. like a find to the drum
mer and he put up the coin. The pair
agreed on umpires and went to the
farmers field. There they selected a
likely stalk and tied string to II,
well up and just long enough to touch
the ground.
Mr.. Rankin happened into Oswe-
go just as the crowd started out to
see what the corn had done. 1t had
been about thirty-one hours then
since the mark was set. He went
along with the party. They found
the string elevated quite a bit above
the ground, and when foot rule was
put to 1t there were just seven inches
from the end to the soil. The farm
er got the money.-Chicago Tribune.

Ia The promptness with which the
hunters of souvenirs are on the job
was illustrated yesterday at the Penn
sylvania hospital, where several trees
said to be $50 years old and to have
been planted by Benjamin Franklin
are to be cut down. Franklin was the
first president Of the first board of
trustees of the hospital, and 1t was
under his ORDERS if not by him per-
sonally, that the trees were planted.
They are at present decaying, and for
the safety of the patients who stroll
around the yard in the summer they
are to be cut down. This fact was
hardly dry in print in the newspapers
when the first souvenir hunter put In
his appearance. He was not the only
one, but a steady stream followed and
yesterday the hospital received more
relic hunters than patients. All in
sisted on selecting the piece Of the
tree he or she desired, and caused
more trouble to the employees of the
hospital than all the patients In the
building Record.

you've pulled down the temple.
What have you gained? You have
thrown away the Governorship; you
have thrown over your party and de-
feated your friends. Now what? Do
you expect to live here among these

She was leaning toward him eager

every word was uttered with the force
of a hammer blow. The Carpetbag-

toward the ceiling and crossed his

brief interval Of silence, "in that old
school-reader there was a quotation
from an older book: "A good name Is

riches?' I'm afraid you haven't got
that in your new books"
"Bosh!"

"Yes, l do think so. Better men

1t would be a crime. We haven't

chance left-don't let 1t slip. You owe

The Governor sprang to his feet.

face. "Will that pay a board bill?'
she asked ironically. You can't cash

ANY check that conscience draws

be honored everywhere"
"Oh, sentiment sounds as pretty as
anything in your old school-reader,
but you'll find you can get along
good deal better on three meals a
day. Be sensible"
Suddenly the Governor turned
upon her. "Sensible?" he cried. mo
sensible man ever is dishonest. Let
me tell you that whenever a man
tries to strike out the enacting clause
of the Ten Commandments he Is
headed for"
Nellie and Roy came bounding into
the room. Seeing Miss Linford en-
gagged with the governor they stop
ped short and prepared to beat hasty
retreat.

petbagger Come right in. How are
you, Captain? It's all right: this la

The lobbyist reluctantly rose. Il

Governor as he took Nellie's curly
head between his hands and kissed
her forehead. well, 1 did"

nothing of his discovery. He walked
