HOeing the Garden.

The garden must be hoed, but
the job is one to try even the
most angelic disposition. If the
hoe is sharp, an hours work at
hoeing is not bad. But soon the
back muscles tire, and we be-
come disguised because so little
ground is covered. Let it be
hoped that the disgust is regis
tered so deep in your nature this
year that the garden next year
will be planted in long rows. A
single horse attached to a fine
toothed cultivator, going over
the ground once a week, can keep
a garden in beautiful shape.
Both the mind and the body of
man will rest easier in conse-
quence. The yield of the garden
will be greater, and the good
wife will rise up and call the
man of the house blessed, for she
no longer has to keep nagging
at John to get the garden hoed.

Mr.. Pickard Is that type OF
Rlobe-trotting authorwho seeks
the quaint and curious places
and people as subjects for his
clever descriptive articles. In
his present series of twelve
articles which we have ar
ranged to print, he has touched
not only the actual work OF
building the canal, and the
people who have accomplish
ed Il, but has gone into what
the newspaper worker knows
as the side lines, and which as
a rule are of as much interest
as the main story. This is par
ticularly true in this case.
After our readers have com
pleted the last of Mr.. Pickard's
articles they viii have a better
understanding Of the Panama
Canal. and conditions within,
and surrounding the canal zone.
The first article Of the series
win be printed in our issue Of

Our Farmer Friends.

Ed. Swalley thrashed out his
wheat last week, and his IS acres
turned out thirty bushels to the
acre. This is a good yield, of
course, but is not particularly
surprising in view of the fact
that Ed. is one of those farmers
who gets his land in shape before
seeding.
John Foley's wheat ran 26
bushels to the acre, and he had a
large acreage, just how much
we haven't heard.
Mrs. Austin Rendel was up
last Friday from her home in
Ottawa county. She tells us her
husband had in IS acres of fine
wheat. Austin Rendel is one of
the best farmers in this part of
the country, and we'll bet his
wheat turns out we'll when the
thrashers get hold of it.
The wheat and oats turned out
we'll in this part of the country.
The weather was cool when the
grain was heading and there
was not rain enough to knock
off the bloom. Cool days and
nights made the berries big and
we'll filled, and we have not
heard of any of it running below
standard weight.
Corn is now at the stage where
it must have rain to make. Most
of it is tasseling, and silking. If
the weather is cool it can stand
dry weather for some time, but
| if the weather gets as hot as it
was a short time ago the tassel
is bound to be hurt, and also the
silk, and a dead silk cannot ger
inmate. The proper amount of
moisture at the right time will
make a big corn crop in this
country, and that is exactly what
we want.
Fred Wade who is farming the
Geo. Hacker place, has forty
acres of might fine corn. He
had 30 acres of wheat.
Charlie Paxson thrashed out
his wheat last week, and the
eighty acres he and the boys had
in made little better than 70
bushels to the acre. They also
thrasbed out 400 bushels of very
fine oats.
Lie Amos got a good output
from his oats. He tells US they
made 4S bushels to the acre, but
from his wheat he did not get a
good yield. He says something
worked in his wheat, and he was
not able to find out what it was.
Dick Fancher has something
over a thousand bushels of wheat
to keep the wolf away from the
door with, and now he says he is
sorry he did not use fertilizer.
He intimates that he has learned
lesson he will not soon forget.
Ward Darnell thrashed his
wheat on the G. G. Sparll1 place
this week. He got 4S5 bushels
from p acres. We think Ward
cut his wheat a little too early,
and that is he had waited three
or four days longer he would have
t,,aInlC
The weather this week has
withered corn considerably. Corn
that is in tassel is being injured
some, but corn that is not yet
tasseled can stand dry weather
awhile yet. But good old fash
toned soaker would certainly be
