SUNDlAL A POOR TlMlEKEEPE.R

I'm many a rich mans garden q sun
II dial tells the time. though nobody
q looks or listens. 1t is probable that
the sundial never gave information that
could not in other ways be more quickly
and easily obtained. The sundial Is
said by some observers to be an anecta-
ton in a great mans garden, but 1t full
flls a certain function, though that
function is not to tell the time. The
sundial is sometimes of no beauty and
always of no utility, but there Is
su1t in old things or in new things that
are fashioned after old things, and a
man who by his own strength. ability,
cleyerness and luck has climbed out OF
the bitches often sets up sundial on
his lawn as he will set up old armor In
his hall, hang old pictures in his gal
lery and line his shelves with old
books. 1t would seem that many new
rich men seek to cover their own new
ness in a setting of old things
No word should be spoken against
things just because they are old. for
in excellence and In elegance many OLD
things surpass the newest things, and
that thing survives the years Is in
a way testimony of its worth. though
also in a way it may be testimony of
its worthlessness. There is sometimes
flavor about old things that new
things lack-sort of an odor of box
wood and lavender instead of varnish,
fresh paint and green plaster. Some
times the odor Of old things is musty
and more suggestive Of moths, worms
and decay than of lockwood and law
ender. However. some men affect old
things not because they enjoy them and
not because they themselves have
reached the retrospective and reminis-
cent age, or the scar of life. but be-
cause there is an atmosphere OF re-
spectability about old things.
The sundial is now nothing like so
efficient as a cheap watch. 1t never
was much of an aid as time indicator.
1t never professed to do more than
tell the time of day and not the time
of ,;eht and m old Srpdials as we'll as

1t is of utmost importance that the
seed be properly and carefully placed
and covered or it will not get started
right. no matter how good the seed or
how good the land. Do not leave the
ground loose around and over the seed,
for it may dry out unless the season
is wet, nor should the soil be packed
too hard around the seed. for the latter
may not be able to push it's way out. 1t
should be placed in mellow soil and
packed just enough to bring 1t in ac-
tual contact with it. In this position
it will receive reasonable amount of
air. warmth and moisture. Follow the
seedman's directions carefully as to
depth Of planting.
