Planting Seeds.

1t is a mistake to plant the same
types of vegetables in the same spot
year after year; keep them moving
to prevent insects n diseases from
getting a foothold, and it is a mis-
take to forget that a garden needs
plant food in order to nourish vegeta-
bles. properly. Stable and a
sprinkle of bonemeal will do, nicely.

Don't Burn the Litter.

Don't burn up any kind of coarse
litter that accumulates around the
feedyard, but save to mulch different
plants in the garden. If some manure
is mixed with the litter SO much the
better. Such mulch will make melons,
cucumbers and many other plants
bear more heavily and will save Gull
tivation after they are well started.

CHINA'S GRAND CANAL.
At Times 1t Holds Water Enough to
Float Boats, but Usually They
Are Dragged Over Mud Banks

0f some Of the crude and outgrOwn
methods used on China's Grand canal
writer in the North China DaE :
News remarks: The junction OF the
real canal with the Wei river was not
by means OF lock, but simply q high
and steeply sloping mud bank, over
which the grain vessels had to bs
dragged by the force Of perhaps many
hundreds OF men. II should be borne
IN mind that In China the lock Of q
canal Is not much more like our idea
Of what that pane connotes than it Is
Ike a paddock. Amid constant and
often serious changes of level, with an
uncertain and not infreQuently Z
scanty supply Of water, and with q
gain feet which Travelled in blocks Of
some eighty vessels under one officer,
It was necessary to devise some way
for keeping them together and for
transferring them as q consolidated
unit with this in view.
For this reason a Chinese lock On
the Grand canal is nothing but stone
gateway into which large boards may
be lowered through a groove in the
stones, restraining most OF the water
from It's flow, until there L. q depth
sufficient to hoat all the craft, whsn
the boards are pulled up and the en-
tire heet passes through.
after this the boards are again
lowered for another division Of ths
grain boats. In case the water gives
