The neglected condition of the or
binary school ground has not remained
without notice or without some effort
toward Improvement. The sentiment
in favor of school-ground comfort
and adornment has gradually in
creased for the last thirty years or
more and has been greatly aided by
the ssta blishment Of an annual Arbor
Day for tree planting. Arbor Day
was proposed by Hon. ]. Sterling Nor
ton, and was first observed in Ne
braska, where it was officially recog-
nizeed in 1872. 1t was first associated
with school-grount planting in Gin
cinnati, Ohio, in 1882, in connection
with meeting of the American For
estry Association. Since then 1t has
been best known by its observance in
the schools. All the States have fol-
lowed the example of Nebraska In
establishing Arbor Day, and the
has now spread into many
foreign countries. Great Britain,
France. Spain, Japan, and New Zea-
land now celebrate their Arbor Days.
The governor of each State an
nually appoints Arbor Day at the
proper season for planting The day
IL celebrated in the schools by public
exercises appropriate to tree planting,
with essays, songs. and Rotations by
the pupils, and addresses by visitors.

to begin work with a better under
standing of what is to be done.
The need of the school grounds Is
for plantations of hardy trees, cared
for by such methods as will keep
them constantly thrifty. The trees
should be selected and planted In the
most careful manner. They should
be properly placed. and In sufficient
number. To plant in this way requires
a great deal Of attention to details
1t may be the work of several days.
The perishable nature of trees also
makes 1T extremely important to plant
them when the weather conditions
are Just right Dry, windy weather
may cause several days delay in the
planting. 1t is, therefore, tmprac-
ticable to depend wholly on a specified
day for the work. Let the trees be
planted at the right time, then, IL
public exercises are planned, they
may be held on an appointed day
after the planting is completed.
Many difficulties at present en-
countered may be overcome by placing
the direction of the planting in the
hands of some person who fully I'M
derstands It's purpose. The pupils
should assist in the work because It
is for their own school ground. but
on account Of their lack of expert
ence they should work under COM
petent supervision.

EGGS FOR MATCHING.

Eggs for Matching should be handled
carefully, gathered several times q day
from clean nests and stored in a dry
cool place, free from unwholesome
odors. where the temperature does not
go above 90 or below 40 degrees Fair
enheit. Eggs that are soiled or fouled
with droppings should be washed with
clean warm water before they are set.
Better matches will result II the eggs
are laid in clean boxes or baskets and
not turned over each day The fresher
eggs are when incubated, the better
the matches. They may be safely kept
for two weeks before placing in the
incubator or under hens but there
should be no reason or need of hold
ing them longer than ten days.

is ordinarily more or less tree planting.
Great care IL taken to make the
planting ceremonies impressive by
letting the children take part. and by
planting trees commemorative or
noted persons or events. Much more
attention is given to these matters
than to having the trees in the best
condition and to planting them just
right.
AS might have been expected. the
results upon the school grounds have
not been marked. Too often the work
has been impulsive and the interest
transient. Trees planted with cere-
monious dignity in April have died Of
neglect before September, and those
that survived have been left to fight
unaided their battles for existence
SO little attention has been paid to
the choice Of trees and to the methods

as okra, of which ne family Is fond
and which are difficult to obtain in
local markets or are commonly high
priced The housewife probably will
want a little bed of parsley. chives, or

The profit from gardening, how
ever, comes not alone from the vege-
ia bles that are produced. The healthy
outdoor recreation and exercise and
the educational value of a garden in
training children manually. and in In
cuicating in them habits Of order and
industry must not be overlooked.
Fathers and mothers will ind that the
preliminary planning of a garden will
do much to arouse the interest OF the
young people and encourage them to
do their share in cultivating and weed
ing it. This will be particularly true
if the owner hires a laborer to do the
first heavy spading and let's the family
begin It's gardening not with hea.y.
disheartening drudgery. but on patch
ready for the lighter work of making
the seed bed.
Having decided what is to be
planted. the indoor gardener draws
lines or symbols on his outlined plan
to indicate the different crops. inserts
ing the date when each is to be
planted. Where q second or third
crop is to follow the same row or oc-
cupy the same ground. this may be
written in red or blue, which indicates
that 1t is to be planted when an
earlier crop is over. In laying on. the
plan the owner should consider the
amount of each vegetable necessary
for a serving for his family. He also
should bear In mind the habits of the
plants so as to allow space enough
between the rows for their proper
growth. for the interplanting OF later
crops, and for easy cultivation. The
cultivation, OF course, Is easiest when
the rows are u to feet apart, as
this permits the use of wheel cultiva-
tors. Plants which make high
growth and cause heavy shade natur-
ally should not be located where they
will interfere with sun-loving small
plants. Perennials, such as rhubarb
and asparagus, which are not cult
waited, should not be grown among
plants which call for tilling. The
planning may be extended also to the
planting of small fruits. such as cur
EaSDDoTTlGS anu GRAPES, anu
even to the location of apple or other
fruit trees.
Where there are very small chill
dren in the family, a separate small
plot should be set aside for their play

etables which they are free to pull up.
exa mine, or treat as they like, they
are less liable to conduct their Juvenile
botanical experiments in the garden
which is being grown for serious pur-
poses.
An excellent plan Gas illustrated)
was made from an unusually we'll
and successful garden that
was grown in city back yard 25x7O

can be used in laying out plot of a

gave way to few late cabbage plants
An area was devoted to dozen tomato
plants trained to a single stem on
stakes about feet high. These were
planted about Is inches apart in each
direction which gave them ample
room for maturity. 1t was necessary.
however, that the site for tomatoes
should be as sunny as practicable. In
the least sunny portion of the yard
early and late peas were planted to-
gether with row of sweet peas to
supply a few much priced blossoms
for the table.
Before the tomatoes were planted.
onion sets occupied the area and were
allowed to remain until large enough
for use or until 1t was necessary to
thin them in certain areas to make
space for planting the tomatoes. A
few parsley plants were placed in
convenient corner where they did not
receive too much sunlight but where
the environment was as cool as pos
sible and sufficiently moist to keep
the plants growing. In the autumn
it was found wise to plant spinach.
kale, and potato-onion sets In order
that supply of green succulents
might be had during the winter and
early spring.
The plan once made out should, of
course. be followed carefully through
out the season especially with regard
to the dates for planting. Where 1t is
necessary to change date this should
be indicated on the plan. The plan
also will serve as a convenient MEM
orandum sheet for keeping a fairly
complete record of the garden. On 1t
can be entered notes regarding success
or failure of the different vegetables.
and whether too much or too little of
any variety wes planted for the family
needs. Failures with certain vege-
tables or seed. especially. where the
plants showed any sign Of root dis
eases, should be noted carefully and
If possible the reasons for failure In
dicated. When the season is ove-' this
plan should be filed until the next
period for indoor gardening comes
around. The wise gardener will study
the old plan carefully and rearrange
his vegetables so as not to grow the
same kind the second year in the same
part of tho garden. He also should
be particularly careful to transfer to
other parts of the garden, or not to
attempt to raise at all. those vege-
tables which have suffered from root
knot or similar diseases. If his notes
are at all complete. they will help
