GIVING PLENTY OF DISTANCE
Common Mistake Made by Many
Gardeners Is That Of crowding
Plants Too Close.

Many gardeners make the mistake
Of crowding garden vegetables too
close in the drill. Vegetables require
rapid growth and quick maturity to
give quality and flavor to the plants
when served. Unless the soil is ex-
ceptionally rich, and there is plenty
of soil moisture available during the
growing season, the plants are apt to
be dwarfed and the quality Of the
vegetables impaired.
In producing vegetables for the
market, the grower will endeavor to
grow plants Of high quality and de-
sirable flavor, and he cannot afford
to take any risk. It is far better to
produce fewer products and gather
vegetables of better quality than to
have an abundance that do not COM
mand fair prices.
The safest plan is to SOW plenty Of
seeds in order that good stand may
be secured. II the plants are tender
and the spring is favorable for the in
sects, diseases, cold nights, etc., leave
about twice as many plants as you
desire to grow. When the weather is
favorable for the growth of the
plants, thin promptly, leaving the re-
quired number of plants. Be sure that
the plants have sufficient distance to
produce vegetables OF extra quality.

SPREAD MANURE EVERY DAY
Practice Greatly Reduces PosslbIIlt,
Of Losing FseflIIxins Elements
Cart 10 Handy.

a careful and intelligent uDo Of
stable manure will build up the tor
tility Of any farm. The trouble with
the average former Il that he wastes
his manure. The habit Of regarding
manure AZ valueless ID one Of the
most expensive q farmer can have.
To properly conserve manure the
liquids as well az the solids should be
collected. For this purpose it is well
to have the floors Of the stalls 90 that
they will drain easily into q water
tight gutter at the rear. This gutter
should be stopped a& both ends, but
ono end should be lower than the
other to allow the liquids to drain to
that end.
Manure should be spread every day
when 1t ID possible. This is very i'm
portant. 40 1t greatly reduces the
chances Of losing tho fertilizing ole
ments. In summer it. cal, sbe spread on
the field from which the soiling crops
have been removed, and in winter on
grain fields. Newly seeded fields
should not be MANFRED.
A hand cart may be used for spread
ing manure. Where there are a large
number Of cattle or horses, a special
dump cart, drawn by a siagle horse,
may be used. Daily spreading insures
that any teaching by rains shall carry
the leached materials into the soil
where they are wanted.

impossible for the authorities to cope
with the number of felons and miscre-
ants who infested the district.
At last the suggestion was made
that some Of the vessels then lying at
anchor in the bay, deserted by cap
tains and crews, who had all joined in
the headlong rush for the "diggings,"
should be utilized as prison hulks.
Five full-rigged vessels, among them

as the flagship Of the felon fleet. She
was known as the awful dark cell

were lodged a company of close
cropped villains, the very scum of all
the lawless men concentrated in that
district.
The Success was a convict ship un-
til 1857, when the terrible cruelties OF
the system aroused the English peo-
pie to action. She was removed from
Williamstown to Sandridge In 1857.
and from 1860 to 1868 was used as q
