Why the Garden is Often a Failure.

The farm garden is subject to
number of fatal mistakes in manage
ment. Too often it is located in an
out-of-the- corner. where perhaps,
nothing else can be planted with sue
cess. Then the garden space is quite
often larger than is necessary, leav-
ing unused patches to grow up IN
weeds throughout the season. An ideal
garden plot is only large enough to
accommodate the vegetables that will
supply the family, and every inch OF
space should be in constant use.
The failure to keep at it, results in
a scarcity of vegetables during a
large part of the year when, in this
climate, green vegetables may be a
part of the diet during every month
of the year. But undoubtedly the
great and disastrous failure in the
farm garden is due to neglect on the
part of the man of affairs, to include
a bundle of chicken wire fencing
among the purchases of garden sup
plies. And so all through the months
the struggle for supremacy between
paints ard chickens goes on. The
evaporation of the gardener is COM
plete, and disaster to the garden must
be the final result-Mrs. W. F. Stew
