This is said. however, with special
dents who are in the possession and
enjoyment of back lots, or back yards,
as the case may be. 1t will be stale
Information. of course. to those who
have made gardens in the past, that
~ elve feet square of land properly
and thoroughly cultivated will furnish
vegetables enough to supply the table
os family of average size, and EN-.
ployment enough TO keep an indus
trious man pleasantly occupied
through the most of his spare hours in
the growing season.
Very materially to reduce the pres
ent high cosi of living. the owner OF
back yard at this time of year needs
but to take a few simple steps He
ing piles of the rubbish. tin cans. bot
les. paper rags and miscellaneous
litter which time has accumulated. He
will be surprised al the amount of
refuse he will be able to collect and
pack into barrels for the scavengcrs.
and then he will be more surprised to
tnd how inviting a repellent back yard
may be made by few hours of earnest
and honest toll Should he never get
any farther than this he win have done
well. But he is bound to go farther

ing to its needs, pound or two OF
fertilizing matter. He will visit the
seedsman's and get n catalogue, and
he will sit down with Mrs Backlotter
and select the seeds desired. He will
lay ont his beds. He will buy the seed
and plant It. AS soon as the weather
becomes warmer he Will be on the
watch for the first appearance of green
above the soil.
From that time to the close of the
season. II he have the real gardening
fervor. his garden will be delight
to him. The wonder is, when the mat.
ter is looked at in the right light that
every man who has a back yard does
not cultivate 1t. and that every man
who has not back yard does not get
one. For TO say nothing about the
economical side OF it. a back yard prop
