HINTS ON GARDEN WORK.

Some gardeners pack caullfl"w-
er by drawing a few of the outer
leaves over them and tying the
ends at the tops.
Thin out the turnips as soon IS
they IRE two inches high as those
left will be less disturbed than
when larger.
If rank weeds are to be plowed
under it is much better TO hoe
them first and allow them to Wilt
in the sun for a day or two.
Root crops, such as carrots,
beets and parsnips should 'e
thinned. Do not be afraid TO thm
them to a distance Of FIVE Or SIX
inches apart. Give spinach plenty
of rich manure IN the fall and a
heavy coating Of mulch. Ii Vii
keep all winter.

Before filling the boxes with
soil, bore a few holes in the bot
ton of them to allow for the
escape of surplus water. In all
probability there will be no sur
plus water to escape but it is we'll
to be on the safe side.
When you put the soil into the
boxes press it down firmly. If
dumped in lightly, evaporation will
be rapid and the roots of YOUR
plants may suffer in consequence.
At the outside Of the box set
vines of quick development. like
German ivy, Tradescontia, Money
wort, or the Madeira vines.
These will soon hide the box

pleasing foliage and richly colored
flower.
The Petunia is another most ex-,
cellent plant for this purpose, be-
cause Of its combination habit Of
upright and dropping growth and
its profuse Towering. Candy-tuft,
Lobelia, and Sweet Alyssun are all
free-howering plants of decided
dropping habit, and can be made
very effective as an edging to these
boxes.
If one does not care to make use
of upward growing vines as .
screen, tall plants with luxuriant
foliage, like the Gamma, can he
used instead with very satisfactory
results.

TUESDAY NIGHT.

Thieves broke into the store OF w.

night and carried away quite a lot of
provisions, the value of which was es-
timated at a considerable figure.
Entrance to the store was made
through the rear door Of the store,
where bar was placed across the
door. There was a small crack at
the side of the door through which a
knife blade or some thin strong in
strument could have been pushed and
the bar raised, and this is the theory
of Mr.. Beard as to how the entrance
was made. The thief or thieves went
out at the front door and the discov-
cry was made when Mr.. Beard vent

were called and an examination
made, but no clue was discovered as
the possible miscreant.
