 The unusual number of deeds on one day followed by dearth of deeds on the next indicates, probably, that a number of foresigkted people got in their deeds lat the last possible mo- ment and thus avoided the necessity of paying the stamp raz on these con- veyences which Q delay of another day would have meant.

for profit A good deal depends on the skill and science of the gardener In- tensive cultivation and the studious feed ing of the soil are desirable.
 garden plan should be worked out according to some good garden manual. and the rules of the best authorities fol- lowed in planting.
 Conscientious cultivation and weeding during the summer and the following of an early crop with n later one are keys to success.
 Any man or woman who is not lazy. at the same time possessing intelligence. can accomplish all these things to greater or less degree. Gardening is n matter rather of application than of su- perior ability. But it Is no undertaking for the fainthearted or the squeamish.
 Patience and optimism. with a kindly feeling for the good brown earth. ars the true gardeners virtues. And for the happy folk who practice them the re. wards are sure.
