The Farm Garden.

Whether the garden is to be a
success or not depends, in great
measure, on its location with refer.
erence to the home. and to the farm
buildings. 1t should be easily reach.
ed both by those who care for it
and the housewife who does most
of the harvesting 1t should be so
placed that plows and other tools
do not need to be brought far, for
this takes time and labor, and
makes the garden work expensive.
Then. too. if the garden is close at
hand, spare times now and then
can be used in going over it.
The garden is generally well
drained. but, if it is not, laying a
few lines of tile in the garden will
frequently pay. Early vegetables
will not do well in water-iogged
soil and late ones are injured almost
as badly On the other hand. most
vegetables need plenty of water to
thrive and produce we'll Their

seasons as trees can, so artificial
watering may save the garden and

is the best general fertilizer to use
both for its plant food value and
for its tendency to tighten up tight
and clayey soils which drain poorly

spring. The loose, mellow soil re-
sulting from application of barnyard
manure is also essential in growing
the root crops. which are likely to
be misshapen and distorted in too
tight and stony soils. Root crops
are more easily harvested in mel

inches Of manure is not too much

Nevada Famous As Mining State.

Nevada is a Spanish word mean
ing snowy" or white as snow"
and the name of the State was
derived from the Sierra Nevada
The State ranks sixth in size in
the Union. Its length from mort to
south is 484 miles, its width 321
miles, and its area lO9,821 square
miles.
The history of Nevada is chiefly
the history Of her mines. Since the
discovery of the Comstock lode and
other famous ore bodies periods of
activity and prosperity have alter
mated with periods of depression
Each discovery of high-erade ore
in noteworthy quantity has been
followed by rapid settlement in
that locality and the establishment
of one or more towns. In 1880
1893 sharp decline in the price of
silver initiated or accompanied a
period of depression in Nevadas
mining and general industrial
prosperity. Silver is so important
a resource Of the State that to a
large extent even now her pros
perity depends upon the market
for that metal OF late years. how
ever. an increased production of
gold, copper, and recently of
platinum has accompanied a
gradual and, it is hoped, substantial
industrial progress. Permanent
towns have grown up and agriCult
