REASONABLE WORK In GARDEN
AS Rule for Most Things 1t Is Safe to
Wait Until Around Corn Plant
ing Time for Start

We are always eager to get the gar
den started in the spring, but as q
rule for the most things it is safe to
wait until around corn planting time
or little before. No use to put seed
into cold damp ground only to rot
Better start the plants in the hot
bed and taper off in the cold frame,
and then when set out in the open
they will hump themselves.
It's mighty mean man who will
permit his wife to spade up the gar
den and do all the work on it the
whole season through
Never drill strong fertilizer, like
sheep or poultry manure, in the rows
next to the seed. Better plan is to
work it into the ground before plant
ing or in the rows just after the plants
appear and close enough so it will
touch.
Everybody grows rhubarb, but few
farmers know that they can grow as
paragus just as easily. 1t is one Of the
most delicious vegetables grown and
requires no special care. Start with
one or two year old plants.

EARLIEST OF SWEET PEPPERS
Plants Require Rather Light, Well
Drained Soil, ard They Must Be
Kept Growing From Start.

Perhaps the earliest variety is the
Neapolitan. If vigil grown plants are
set out early they will produce fine
fruit in June. The fruit first turns to
a light yellow and then to a brilliant
scarlet.
The Ruby King, the Bull Nose, or
Sweet Bell are fine peppers. They are
blunt nosed, round and about two or
three inches long. The Ruby King is
a little larger than the Bull Nose and
its flesh is very mild and sweet.
These plants grow about three feet
high and are not easily blown down.
The largest variety is the Chinese
Giant. The flesh Is thick and sweet
and can be eaten raw
Peppers require rather light, well
drained soil, and they must be kept
growing from the start. If the growth
is checked by cold weather or lack Of
moisture they will not mature we'll

Peach Puddinq.

This recipe makes a delicious pud-
ding, wholesome for the children and
greatly relished by their elders. To
one quart can of peaches add four
tablespoonful of sugar, unless the
peaches are already rather sweet.
Heat the peaches in their own Juice
and then drain them, saving the juice,
and place, hollow side up, on squares
of stale sponge cake in a pudding
dish. Now take the juice and mix
with it two tablespoonful of lemon
juice, one egg, very lightly beaten,
and one tablespoonful of corn starch
moistened with a little cold water. Put
this mixture on the stove in a sauce
pan and let it boil up once or twice
and when slightly cooled pour over
the peaches. Serve cold. The strip
jellies about the peaches and forms
delicious dessert This can be
eaten without sauce or with cream
or milk as one prefers.

ance of nitrogen for the corn crop and
at the proper time during its growth
to insure a maximum yield. The bac-
terra in the manure will hasten the
decomposition of the organic matter
contained in the roots and stubble of
the clover sod and hasten them into

growing corn crop.
All farmers know that excellent

Oh field that has produced a good
crop of corn by the application of
manure alone the previous year but
il my opinion better economical re-
suits may be obtained if the manure
is applied at the rate of from to
10 loads to the acre and supplemented
with some form Of fertilizer supply
ing an abundance of phosphoric acid
and potash.
The phosphoric acid may be pur-
chased in numerous forms, but in my
opinion the potash had best come in
the form of a high grade or low
grade sulphate.

FERTILITY MAY BE RESTORED
Principal Factor In Restoration, Ac-
cording 20 Prof. Alfred Vivian,
is Organic Matter.

ANY soil which was once rich can
be made RICH" is the declaration
made by Prof Alfred Vivian, acting
dean Of the College Of Agriculture.
Ohio State University, in a recent ad-
dress. The principal factor concerned
in the restoration of the soil fertility,
according to Prof Vivian, is organic
matter
THE destruction of organic matter
by cultivation and otherwise, is
largely responsible for the depletion
our our soils" said he. "This organic
matter must be restored if we expect
our farms to be productive. What
does organic matter do? 1t increases
the power of the soil to absorb and
retain moisture; improves the physi-
cal or mechanical condition of the
soil; helps to control soil tempera-
ture, and is a storehouse of plant
food. How can organic matter be re-
stored to the soilo
'By saving all animal manures and
putting them onto the land; by max
ing use of all crop residues, that is,
putting back into tie soil everything
not used for feed; by turning under
green manuring and catch crops"
Prof. Vivian pointed out the loss sus-
tanned by burning straw stacks and
other crop residues and declared that
the difference between the careful
saving of this plant food and its wan
ton destruction was "the difference
between the salvation and damnation
Of our soils"

Removing Fence Posts.

A laborer was sent to remove a
number of fence posts from an old
fence. The job would have taken a
half day of ordinary WORK, says a
writer in the Popular Mechanics, but
two hours later we found him asleep
in the shade, and the posts all re-
moved. We let him sleep till noon,
as we thought he had earned his rest.
His method of removing the posts
was very simple, as he used an ordi-
nary gravel pick, drove the sharp
point into the post close to the
ground. put hardwood block under
the pick and pulled on the handle.
The operation was repeated as the
post was drawn out of the ground.
