ing cards, SO to speak, left there by
the recent winter
But there have been few days this
spring that have brought a kind OF
soft, sweet alluring od0r out Of the
ground, and If you are within a mil
lion aeons of being normal human
being you have had a sort Of sneaking
desire to do what you used to when
you were a boy-get out and punch
the softening earth with stick and
dig the toes of your shoes into the
mud.
That is only the beginning of what
you are going to feel when the frost
really gets out Of the ground. Frank
lin-wasn't it?-said something about
owning bit of ground, scratching 1t
with a hoe and planting seeds and
watching the renewal Of life? Well,
that means you. And if you are wise
you will heed that instinct, and make
your back yard pay dividends in the
shape of peas and beans and tomatoes
and lettuce and radishes and onions
and other things that taste better
fresh than they do when they have
been through the regular course of
commerce.
1t is surprising what you can do
with q back yard. Even a small plot
of ground can be made to provide a
goodly supply of table truck, and real
ly, the stuff tastes lot better when it
is home grown. And there is the
benefit to your own health from work
ing over it. One man testiaes that a

Mr.. Citizen, Mr. Citizen,
What does your back yard grow?
Weeds and grass and pieces of glass?
Or vegetables all in a row?
Probably, just at present, the said
area before mentioned as aforesaid is
bearing a generous crop of debris that
accumulated little by little and was
buried by the snow, so that you really
got quite shock when you looked out
