B Because the home store is an EN-
ploying institution giving work 10 the

given such stores will regulate not only
the number of persons employed. but

by home institutions. No man can
live unto himself. 1t is a duty we owe
to spend our earnings, so far as pos

building OF community interests.
Because your home merchant, de-
string our trade tomorrow as well as
today, knowing you well, being your
neighbor and fellow citizen, will accord
you more courteous treatment, and give
your wants more careful attention than
the merchant in a strange city to whom
you are but a transient customer; an
out-of-town purchaser to whom he can
dispose of undesirable wares with per-
feet safety.
Because it is convenient. The
busy woman can steal an hour from her
other duties, go to the local stores.
and not caring particularly about her
gown for such brief visit, transact her
GRAND in a hurry and be back by the
time the children are home from school
and John wants his supper.
Because the home merchant has
made study of his community. He
understands its peculiar needs, the
wants and tastes of its people. His
stock is bought with these facts in
mind. He therefore offers better Sc
lections for home people, though his
stock may not be so large, than the
out-of-town merchant whose selections
have been made with a view to the
tastes and needs of an entirely different

dozen or so, and continuance OF the
practice brought flood of them at

The effects of this persistent bonn

the reader than described by the
writer. Suffice it to say, that within
the year it was rare exception to see
shipped or carried into the town any
thing that could be purchased at home.

Such vegetables as cabbage, cauli-
flower, lettuce and onions utilize to
the best advantage heavy applications
Of manure.
Plenty of potash and phosphoric acid
should be used with all vegetables,
and particularly with tomatoes, pep
pers, elephants and Dot crops.
Lime is the best preventive of club
foot in cabbage. 1t doesn't always
prevent this disease, but it is usually
effectual.
By having vegetables at the earli-
est possible date you will be able to
catch the first customers and hold
them during the whole of the summer
season.
Telephone communication with all
available markets and private custom
ers is a necessity to the gardener, if
he desires to keep posted and take
orders for his produce.
When possible it is best to grow
vegetables on a large scale, to sell to
the wholesale trade, instead of retail
ing. The successful gardener finds
his time too valuable to peddle his
vegetables.
A firm and compact seed bed, bring
ing the seed into intimate contact
with moist soil, is the secret of quick
termination, providing the ground is
warm and the depth of covering not
too great.
Soils that are heavily MANFRED for
cabbage, lettuce, celery and other
crops will not need very much manure

tomatoes, peppers and DOT crops es-

cial fertilizer is used.
Vegetables of a distinct leafy ma
ture, as cabbage, kale. lettuce and
spinach, utilize to good advantage
heavy applications of nitrogen, while
large amounts of this element applied
tt tomatoes, peppers and elephants
would be disastrous by encouraging an
excessive growth of leaves, without
much fruit.
Home-mixed fertilizers are the most
desirable for the market gardener,
Nearly every gardener grows a diversi,
fled list Of vegetables, which vary
more or less in food requirements,
and the feeding problem is entirely
under his control when the rations are
mixed at home.
When green manure crops are
plowed under there is more or less
tendency of such material to sour the
land, and applications of lime after

NO REAL EFFORT EVER VAIN
Defeat, Than MuteIy Accept Life
of Littleness.

Better the sorriest citizen thinking
he can take hold of life, and his faint
spark of free-win can burn holes
through the thicket than a worldful
of orderly persons of regular habit
and contented mien. Rather wilder
ness than that men should find this
a locked world. where all the returns
are in.
Better absurd mites, %strutting over
large landscapes, than such q fairness
of CHEEKY slaves, taking orders from
their betters. Better a petty race
should strive vainly, than accept its
own littleness. II 1t is doomed to
futility, let it at least live as If all
the roads to victory were open.
So when we face the push and
thrust of life in each generation, let US
be glad that youth is claiming its
right to live. Let the youth flourish
and prosper, advises Harper's Weekly.
1t is wiser to tea down the temples
than to accept defeat. Effort is finer
than resignation, and peril is safer

it was so silent that when a cinder fell
from the crate it made him start to his
/ feet. He searched for a small brass
key on his ring, hurried into the
library, and unlocked a drawer in the
desk. He took a slip of paper from
a yellow envelope and stood staring at
it for several minutes. His brows
wrinkled and a curiously startled ex-
preston came into his eyes. He drew
a long breath, put the paper back in
the envelope, laid it in the drawer, and
turned the key in the lock. He walked
to a window, which looked down on
the square, and stared at the life of
the city. 1t was a habit of his. He
has solved many a knotty problem

the busy street.
The thought-spell heightened out

hurried to his den, lifted Andrews

the desk. From a lower drawer he
took a heap of paper, filled the ink
well almost to overlooking, and tried
several pens before he found one that
suited him. Then, switching on the
electricity under a gre~en-shaded bulb,
he began with steady righteousness to
copy Merry's play. The clock struck

dition for the growth of clover. 1t is
very important to work in clovers as
often as possible, and a sweet soil is
necessary to get good results with
them.
Cultivation should begin early. Cul
tivators with not less than. twelve
small teeth or shovels are best for
small truck crops, because they leave
the soil in ideal condition, and are the
best conservers of soil moisture. A
loose and friable soil stimulates a
steady and rapid growth.
Packages must be neat and clean. As
a rule small packages are best early
in the season when the prices are
high, and large packages for the main
crop. Use standard sized packages
and give full measure.
Crops must be gathered in proper
condition and sent to market fresh
and clean. Careful grading is essen
tial. A few inferior specimens in a
package are the first to attract atten-
ton. Even a few specimens will knock
off more from the price Of the pack
age than they are worth.
