A mother in Worcester, Mass, who
had orthodox views, had told her chill.
dren the Garden of Eden story. The
children we're greatly impressed. One
afternoon, returning from town, the
mother found the palms and ferns had
disappeared from the ycranda. Going
into the 5arkened living room she saw
one of the boys. minus clothing. re
clining under big fern. while anoth-
err, equally clothless, was standing by
palm. They enlightened her by ex-
planning that they were playing Ad-
am and Eve In the garden.
At that minute her youngest boy,
not three, came into the room as ma.
ture had first given him to the world
except that he wore d silk hat on his
head and carried cane.
And pray who are you?" asked the
mother.
The little one looked up at her and
smiled AS he said: Il am the Lord

Justice With a VENGEANCE.

likened it, in my hearing, TO horse

a brief trial, and, when an hour had

"'That won't do!' said the leader of
the mob, fiercely. You'll have to do

In half an hour the door was
opened once more.

the leader.

ANSWER TO Query.

The act of uplifting the hand during
the taking of an oath is so ancient
that it would be futile to even attempt
to say when it started. Homer at
tempts to say when it started. Homer
mentions 1t as common among the
Greeks of his time, and it is also found
in the earliest Biblical time. For in
stance, Abraham, the father of the
Jewish people, says: Il have lifted
up my hand to Jehovah" showing thai
even at that remote period the prac
tice was existent. II was from the
Jews, of course. that the practice
found its way into ChristeHdom, where
1t has ever since held its place in jul
dicial trials.

and still neither division interfere

The small tIrnip-rooted radishes are
the best for early use, preference be-
ing given to either red or white; the
olive-colored ones are usually less crisp
and tender, as we'll as less inviting
in appearance.
Among the peas we have found no
other early ones so good or so produc-
tive as the Gradus. So many of the
early varieties are exceedingly dwarf
in size and in habit of the peas.

When the plants need reporting,
make individual pots for each in the
same manner. This method not only
saves buying pots, but when trans
planted again the paper can be torn
of and the roots remain undis-
turbed.
If you are running an incubator at

nearly uniform.
After the plants are up, remove
them to cooler, but frost-proof
place Heat causes them to dwindle.
Give them plenty of sunshine, and
keep the soil moist. Allowing II to be-
come dry, give 1t a shock that retards
growth every time, even though we
may not be able to realize It. The
steam usually present in the kitchen
promotes robust growth.
A few hills Of very early cucum-
Mexico Missouri message., 1913-05-22

The first warm days lure the enthusi-
asst into gardening, though the unex-
perlenced gardener will say there Is
no use forcing things in the open
ground until 1t is warm and dry
enough, so that the earth will crumble
when the pillow or spade turns 1t over.
But peas, onions, lettuce, and rad
ishes will stand quite an amount of
cold weather, and few of each should
be planted very early, with the assur-
ance that while they may not prove
more than a week or two in advance
OF the main planting, unless the wealth
er is unusually perverse, they
will be ready Tor the table while the
main crop is still In the first stage of
growth.
A few large onions planted early
will provide fresh onions even soon
er than they can be obtained from
sets, though the earlier ones are grown
from sets Of the Top onion, planted
in the autumn.
In planting the garden, 1t pays to
lay off rectangular plot, planting
everything in rows. Then then pos
sibly can be worked during the early
stages of growth with the one horse
cultivator, II you have not the wheel
tools.
The latter, however, will prove a
splendid investment, even though the
garden is only large enough for fam
lily use. They work up close to the
rows, and enable one to get much
more from the same amount of ground
by having the rows closer together
than 1t is possible with horse cultiva-
ton. Even the best trained horse is
liable to make a misstep to the ami
hilation of some tender plant.
The wheeltools, of varied form and
methods of work. reduce the soil much
more completely than the cultivator;
soil so thoroughly worked is able to
resist drought.
Reserve one of the two rows at the
side for perennials like rhubarb, and
for the berries. And it is convent
ent to set aside another for very early
planting. Then the main part of the
Mexico Missouri message., 1913-05-22

bers and melons may be started In
the house either in inverted sods, or
in paper pots. These are usually less
prolific than the latter ones planted
in the ground; but they come on de-
cidedly earlier.
II desired, n couple of seeds may be
planted in each hill when the plants
are set in the ground. Then, as the
early ones prove that their vitality Is
nearly exhausted, the young plants
will take heir places, and furnish the
pickle supply for the winter.
Plan the garden in advance on pa
per- separating early and late corn, as
well as having cucumbers, melons and
squashes far enough apart that pol
len from one will not reach another
readily. II is a curious exception
to the rule that watermelon and
muskmelon can be grown side by side
without apparent injury, the two va
rieties of muskmelon or watermelon
on adjoining plots result in a worth
less mongrel
In planning for horse-cultivation,
three feet apart is as near as the rows
can be worked to advantage. If the
wheel tools are used, onions, radishes,
lettuce, spinach, beets, carrots, pars-
nips and turnips may be sown in rows
from IL to is inches apart.
Bush beans, early cabbage and peas
need about two feet late cabbage
need about three feet. and the various
vines from four to six feet apart. For
convenience in cultivating, it is essen
tial to so plant that the lines may
be of uniform width, though it is not
| necessary to break in order to sep
arate certain varieties. One may CON-
bine by doubling the distance in some
| points.
Thus bush beans or early cabbage
work in nicely to break the rows be-
tween the cucumbers and melons. the

next 1t is simply in part left blank.

not afford to let a part of it lie
| idle.
AS the early radishes are used. stick
in here and there a seed OF summer
and winter varieties. In this way
there is a constant succession. The
tender pepper and egg plant may be
filled into the spaces rendered vacant
by the removal of early onions; and
celery can replace peas.
Fertilize without stint. Clean out the
poultry house. and use the refuse for
fertilizing cabbage, tomatoes, cucum
bers and melons in the hill. Many are
afraid of this condensed food, yet II
a quart is thoroughly blended with
the soil in each hill, it will do no dam
age, but will stimulate thrifty growth
Fertilizer from the barn is prefer
able to commercial fertilizers. Wood
ashes help to tighten a heavy, clay
soil. and are especially valuable in
stimulating the growth OF corn.
