 TO PREPARE PLOTS.
County Agent F. c. Warner Prepares Another Bulletin For Boys and Girls,

Another bulletin of general instruc- ton has been sent the members of the Norwich Boys and Girls Garden club by County Agent F. c. Warner. The bulletin says:
 This Bulletin on The Home vegeta- hie Garden will give you general in- structions on garden work on larger scale than our 100 square feet, but you can get all you may need from it.
 First the garden will have to be spaded, pulverized, and smoothed as described. Then the question of what seeds to plant and fertilizer to be used should be considered. In the back of the bulletin you will find instructions regarding the different vegetables, tell ing about how deey to plant the seeds, distance between rows, etc, so that you can plan your garden very nicely with this information. I would suggest that you either plant your whole gar den to one crop such as tomatoes, set ting the plants 1-2 feet apart each way, using 16 plants; or plant four rows of sweet corn; or that you have such as lettuce, radishes, beans, etc Now you can have about rows on yeur plot and might plant in the fol- lowing order:
 First row-Peas.
 Second row-Stringless beans. Third row-Beets. Fourth row-Lettuee. Firth row-Radishes. Sixth row-Seed onions Seventh row-Sets onion. Eighth row-PoIe beans Carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, pars- nips, potatoes, or turnYps could be grown if you would rather. In preparing the seed bed, it should be fertilized to give the plants food to grow on. The bulletin tells about ma
 nure and if you can get it one wheel 1 barrow load will De enough and should be spread over the whole plot and hood in before the seeds are planted | Many people keep chickens and hen
 manure is good for a garden but should be handled a little different Do not use any hen manure on peas, beans | or potatoes an donly a little on car
 rots. radishes, and turnips. On the beets, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, corn
 and cabbage, 5 pounds to the row can | be used by mixing it thoroughly with the dirt in the row berore planting. If
 manure cannot be obtained. pounds

"THE BELL OF THE ATLANTIC BY

The Steamboat Atlantic Was Wrecked Of Fishers Island On the Night of Nov. 26, 1s46.

Mrs. Mary B. Hyde writes The Bull etin as follows:
 In your issue of May cOth was an interesting sketch of the life and writ ings of Miss Frances Manwarins C.auI- kins. I beg, however, 10 correct a statement giving her the authorship of the above poem. The real author was Mrs. Lydia HunLley Sigourney, d pa- tive of Norwich and a gifted writer of verse, but not a historian.
 In these days when oftimes the mast history of our fair city is brought to the notice of later generations, is if not right that perfect accuracy be ob- served and so handed down?''
 Having in my chiIdhool learned these thrilling verses it gave me quite a shock that any other save Mrs. Si- gourney should be accredited with having written them.
