THE EARN GARDEN.

Whether the garden Is to be n sue
cess or not depends, in a great meas
urc, on its location with reference to
the home, and to the farm buildings.
II should be easily reached both by
those who care for II, and by the
housewife. who does most Of the har-
vesting. II should he so placed that
plows and other tools do not need to
he brought far, for this takes time
and labor, and makes the garden work
expensive. Then, too, u the garden is
close Mt hand, spare times now and
then can be used in going over II.
The garden Is generally well
drained. but, IL II Is not, laying n few
lines of tile in the garden will fire.
quently pay. Early vegetables will
not do well in water-logged soil,
and late ones are injured almost rs
badly. On the other hand, most vege-
tables need plenty of water to thrive
and produce well. Their roots are 90
shallow they cannot 60 down to q
deep water table in dry seasons as
trees can, so artificial watering may
save the garden and II Is q great con-
venience to have some sort of water
supply near Mt hand.
Inc SOIL SIlOuiU Uc ItTtllt. Ntst'
tables are heavy feeders and they will
return many times over, the value OF
the manure used in building up the
soil. Barnyard manure Is the best
general fertilizer to use, both for it,
plant food value and for its tendency
to tighten up tight and clayev soils
which drain poorly and remain cold
until late in the spring. The loose
mellow soil resulting from application
of barnyard manure is also essentia
in growing the root crops, which arr
likely to be misshapen and historic,
in too tight and stony soils. Roo
crops are more easily harvested in {
mellow soil, too. A dressing Of three
inches of manure is not too much
but II should he well rotted IL II Il
plowed under in the spring.
Gardens that were plowed last fal
will show the good effects of Il
weathering, and (2) a reduced mum
Der of grubs and other pests that hav
escaped freezing, as well (3) as tn
opportunity for rotting of the manur
through winter. If your garden wa
not plowed last fall, II should he don

EARLY GARDEN CROpS.

As soon n the ground can bc pre-
pared in the spring the so-callcd cool
crops or garden crops which will
stand cool weather should he put IN.
Among the hardest and first To- he
planted are: Onions, garden peas,
spinach satisfy and parsnips. Satisfy
and parsnips sprout and grow slowly,
80 II IL good plan to plant them in
rows Is inches apart and plant spin
ach or onion sets between these rows.
Peas may he planted in pairs of rows
q inches apart, 50 the peas in the two
rows Of the same pair will support
one another and occupy very little
space. Each pair should he two feet
from the next pair,
The next group of cool crops Ia
plant includes lettuce. radishes. pars-
ley and chard. Chard is valuable for
hot weather greens as II furnishes a
substitute for spinach in hot weather
and provides Succulent stems much
like those Of asparagus. As II starts
slowly II Is good companion crop
for lettuce and radishcs.
Beets and carrots may be planted
about two weeks after chard, or about
April I. in Central Missouri and cor
respondingly earlier or later in places
north and south Of this region. About
| the same time cabbage and caulflow-
err may safely be transplanted Mt the
proper distance apart in rows OF
growing radishes or lettuce, which
will be used before the transplanted
crops need space. Some radish seed
should be planted for markers in the
| rows of carrots rs this crOp comes ur
slowly. Both bcets and carrots should
he sown thick enough so that the,
may he thinned to two inches apart
and the plants removed at thinning
time will furnish plenty of greens
Fairly potatoes may also be PLANTED
about April |, and ms the ground Il
still cool and as its plant food be
comes available slowly,the seed piece'
should be cut large so that they vii
furnish plenty Of plant food an'
moisture. Early POTATOES should b'
planted shallowcr that the later ones
as the cultivation will cover the tub
ers well enough to keep them iron
sunburning. The seed should be drop
ped 10 inches apart in rows 30 inche
apart and the potato patch and all thu
rest Of the garden should be cult
waited from the time enough Of thu
seed has come up to show where tn,
rows are until the crop Is beyond in

THE EXPRESS BUSINESS.

The express business is a peculiar
~ American institution. II started
seventy seven years ago-Feb. %,
1839-when William +. Handen, "a
Boston Yankee, published an adver-
ton newspapers announcing O new
venture. Harnden had been rail-
way conductor, but his health was not
good, and he began cudgelIing his
brains to devise some plan for making
more money with less work. He hit
upon the idea of carrying parcels be-
tween New York and Boston. As q
railroad man he could ride free on
the trains between those cities.
The newspaper advertisement which
was the foundation of business
which made great fortunes for many
people, ran as follows:
"William +. Harnden has made ar
rangements with the Providence rail-
road and the New York Boat Com
pany to run a car through from Bos-
ton to New York, and vice versa.
four times week. He will accom-
pany the car himself, take care Of all
small packages that may be entrust-
ed to his care and see them safely de-
livered." Harnden gave his office all
dresses rs 1 Wall street, New York,
and Court street, Boston.
Harnden's car" was purely fight
Of imagination. but IL was prophetic
of what was TO come, when express
cars were to be operated on all tho
railroads Of North America. A valise
was quite large enough to hold all
the parcels entrusted to Harndcn's
