DON'T TRY FOR TOO MUCH

Give Your Vegetables Room !s a Good
Gardeners Motto.
Do not be afraid to thin out your
plants. They must not be crowded.
Probably more garden stuff has been
ruined for want Of being thinned at
the proper time than by any other
cause.
However that may be, one Of the
most puzzling things for the beginner
Is to find out whether any particular
vegetable should be thinned or trans
planted, and how far apart the plants
should stand afterward.
He will get some help from the cat
alogues as to the distances, but wheth-
er he should transplant or thin Is the
kind Of thing that is not in the book.
1t requires a good deal Of nerve to
pull up and destroy the unnecessary
seedling-more nerve than the amateur
possesses. They say that a person new
er becomes a good gardener until he
steels his nerve to this ruthless sacri-
fee.
A vegetable must have plenty OF
room to develop it's best size and flavor,
| and one can take no pride in small or
commonplace vegetables. True 1t Is

LESSONS FROM FRENcAMEN.
Some Methods by Which They Grow
Double Our Wheat Yield.

Some Methods by Which They Grow
Double Our Wheat Yield.
In France wheat farming is always
combined with some other branches
Of agriculture. such as sheep raising
or the growing Of beets, and often the
three go together successfully. In
America we are accustomed to think
that in order to raise wheat success
fully one must plant hundreds OF acres
and devote his entire time to this crop.
The statement that 1t doesn't pay to
raise wheat on the small farms In the
east is often heard, but is without
foundation. The average wheat crop
In the west, on the farms devoted
exclusively to that cereal, Is about
fifteen bushels an acre; In France,
where wheat Is grown in rotation with
other crops, the average is about
thirty-fve bushels.
The wheat farm that the writer WIS.,
tied comprises a thousand acres and
is situated on a level plateau, from
which on clear days the spires of Paris
may be seen. On the afternoon of the
writer's visit the men were all busy
planting wheat and gathering beets.
The first signs Of life to be seen as the
visitor approached were two flocks Of
sheep-about 1900 in all-feeding on
beet tops under the care Of two shep-
herds with their dogs. Beyond the
| sheep and a bit nearer the buildings
| were the men loading beets into enor-
nous two wheeled carts, each being
drawn by three Percheron stations
| driven tandem.
Beyond the harvesters We're three
sets Of two furrow plows working,
each drawn by six white oxen.
The plows, which were Of the two
furrow reversible type, were built with
a pair of wheels in front to tighten the
draft and with four plows keyed in
pairs to two parallel steel beams,
which were fastened to the axle Of the
wheels by a ball and socket joint.
Each pair Of plows was placed one
over the other so that when one was
in the furrow the mate was upside
down in the air directly owe it. AT
the end of the furrow the plowman
by means of a lever turned each beam
half round, throwing the pillow with
moldboard on the right hand side into
the air and bringing the left hand
moldboard into the furrow. The p!ow
men were followed by three teams
of oxen that narrowed the field, ant
these were followed by two grair
drills. To a stranger it was a novelty
to see all these operations taking
place at the same ti~me.-Country

Along the Garden Paths.

When watering plants do not force
the water against the plant; let it fall
in the form Of a shower.
Cabbage and all other plants of the
cabbage family require a very fertile
and cool, moist soil for good growth.
Carrots are splendid for folks who
need iron in their blood. One Of the
best ways to get it Is to eat these nice
roots.
Sunshine, rainfall and temperature
are three important factors in canta-
loupe culture beyond the control Of the
grower.
II your beet rows are too thick pull
out some and boil them for greens.
Nothing better in the world for this
purpose.
Let no cucumbers go to seed or the
productiveness Of the vines will be
stopped. Pick them often, whether
you want them or not.
Az fast as the boxes, frames and
stakes have done their work take
them out, so that no insects will make
their homes about them.
II it is dry slip a can or two Of wa
ter on the stone boat and let the
horses draw 1t out to the garden for
use on the celery and things that most
need water. 1t will pay you when
you come to gather in the harvest.
