tnyielding. To loosen up such soif and make 1t suitable for garden prod uce requires that careful attention be given to it's preparation. After spad- ing the inclosure thoroughly, the up- per three inches should be made fine with the use of hoe and rake Stones and rubbish should be removed and clods of dirt broken. The surface should be made even and as level as possible. It may then be marked of for planting in conformity with the general plan of the garden.
 Barnyard or stable manure is the best fertilizer because it furnishes both plant food and humus. An application at the rate of from 20 to 30 tons to the acre of well-rotted manure is very satisfactory. This should be applied after blowing or working with a spade. and distributed evenly over the sur face and later worked in with a hoe and rake. On many soils 1t is ad- visable to apply commercial fertilizer, especially phosphate, in addition to the manure. An application of 300 to 600 pounds of acid phosphate 10 the acre is usually sufficient If addition al potash is needed, which is often the case with sandy soils, this may be economically supplied in the form of wood ashes. If the wood ashes are unleached they should be distributed over the garden, using 1000 pounds to the acre If they have been wet, or leached, 2,000 pounds should be used. An application of 100 pounds to the acre of nitrate of soda may be used in the spring to start the plants before the nitrogen in the manure has become available. It should be borne in mind that commercial fertilizers will not yield good results unless the soil is well supplied with humus. Sod or other vegetation which has overgrnwn a garden spot may be used to advan- tage. It should be turned under with blow or spade and will aid in light ening the soil and providing humus.
 Small Garden Plan.
 In the plan illustrated all the vega tables named are planted in rows across from the inside lateral rows of strawberries. As rapidly as each kind of peas natures and the crop is over, kale is planted in it's place The ground to be used for tomatoes is first planted with onion sets, and these onions are used as rapidly as needed. When the time comes to set out tho tomatoes, some of the onions are dug to make space for the tomato plants. When the tomato crop is over, the ground is occupied by spinach as the third crop. Spinach Is also planted as soon as the bulb onions from the side are gathered. The beans, carrots, and peas are succeeded by late cabbage, | and between the rows of late cabbage "potato-onion" sets are planted. Late beans are planted between the rows of parsnips after the radishes and let tuce have been gathered.

PREPARE SEEDED FOR OATS
Not Generally Necessary to Flow Land Before Sowing-Dlsk Har-
 row Is Recommended.

Oats usually follow a cultivated crop such as corn or potatoes; hence it is not generally necessary to blow the land before sowing. Oats do we'll on fallplowed land, but if the land has not been plowed in the fall better yields are usually produced from sowing in a seedbed made by disk ing and narrowing than in one made by spring blowing. Early seeding for oats Is very desirable. As a good seed bed can be mads much more quickly with the disk harrow than with the blow on land that was in cultivated crop last year, the saving in time is an advantage. Two diskings and one narrowing with the spike-toothed har- row will put clean land in good shape for sowing with the drill.
 Oats grow best in seedbed that has or 3 inches of loose surface soil, but which is firm below that depth. This is another reason why disking is to be preferred to spring blowing, for there is not time for plowed land to settle before the seed is sown. Still another reason why the disk is better is that field can be plowed, and tho cheaper way of doing job should always be chosen if it gives just as good results as the more expensive way.

Plan for Small Garden.

ous gardeners, ready to seize the first to go out and work the heavy clay soil before 1t is dry, are not only vast ing their energy but are doing dam age to the soil from which 1t will take years for it to recover To determine when heavy soils are ready for blow lected from the surface and the fing- CTS tightly closed on it. If the ball of competed earth is dry enough for cultivation it will fall apart when the hand is opened.
 A garden spot near the house Is of ten more desirable than a plot which is in better tilth but located at an in convenient distance. A garden which Is near the house will receive many a spare hour of care from adults and children which would otherwise be wasted Where there is ample room for the selection of a garden site, the slope of the land should be carefully considered. gentle slope toward the South is most desirable for growing early crops, while 1t is a decided ad- vantage to have the plot protected on the north and northwest by either 8 hill, a group of buildings, or a board fence.
 Drainage of the garden Is of great importance. The land should have sufficient fall to drain off surplus wa. ter during heavy rains and yet not be so steep that the soil will be washed OF gullied. The surface should be nearly level so the water will not stand in hollows. Where the natural slope of the land does not provide suffi- cient natural drainage, ditches may be dug or tile drain put in. This will prevent waste water from the ad- joining land from washing over it. Such water may carry weed and grass seeds into the garden, which are later culled out with difficulty

 We should all strive to improve the memory as much as possible, for upon it very personality depends. If we had no memory we could have no feeling of "sef'-no feeling that we are the same self we were yesterday. And if did not have this feeling should be flower than the ani- mals." We may improve the memory by paying strict attention to what Is being said or done and by trying to associate it with many other things possible which have interest for us. for of memory" The we forget the more we the better it becomes Like all else, 1t improves with practice and habit
 Forgetting is at times very awkward; 1t leads us into all sorts of social inconveniences We forget name an address. word when we wish most to remember 1t, These acts of forgetful- ness seem at first perfectly cratic and spontane- to no fixed rule
 So, then, when forget a name or thng-or by some error of speech writing give another word for the right one-we can nearly always find out why this should be so and uncover the actual process involved by a careful analysis of the previous trains of thought and action We forget because wish to forget.

The Reason We Forget

Let me see. what was that name?'
 Haven't often heard that phrase, or one yery like it? Doesn't our memory often play us tricks and cause us to forget things know perfectly well-"as well as know my name,' fact? There Is a reason for this; for nearly every of loss of memory can find cause. This discovery has recently been made and is of the most important advances which psychology has made in the understanding of mental life.
 Forgetting, of course, in sense, is loss of memory. How, first of all. do remember things?
 It has been assumed by physiologsts that cry event experience leaves it's trace in the nervous substance of the brain, in much the same way that trace is left upon the photographic record by the scratch of the recording needle; if tho impression Is "vivid"-that is. if it leaves deep impression upon the nervous system-then we remember it; if not, forget it. As the brain disntegrates with age, the memories be- come weak. This Is the doctrine usually stunned for the storage of our memories
 But psychologists have lately complained against this materialistic view of the facts. Of late years Professor Henri Bergson, in particular. has protested that such explanation does not explain We believe that memory is mental thing not a material one. To be sure, there always the difficulty. in accounting for memory, that the brain cells, which are constantly being replaced would eliminate the contained memo ries just as new wax cylinders would efface the record but scientific men "got round this by as suming that the new cell it deposited somehow inherited" the traces of the previous one and thus retained the memory.

The man who starts dairying on a large scale by buying the whole dairy herd is in for a number of unpleasant surprises. The best way to get into the dairy business is to grow into it. starting with few COWS and selecting and culling as experience dictates. It is slow way to be sure. but it is safe one. Only those who have been through the mill know how hard it is to set out and buy good milch COWS. The endeavor of every dairyman is to sell of his poorest animals and keep the best

For National Park Service

bill is under consideration in congress to establish national park service. The federal government owns fourteen national parks. with total area of nearly five million acres all un- der the Jurisdiction of the department of the in terior. It also owns thirty-one national monu ments, of which nineteen are in the department of the interior. ten in the department of agricul ture and two in the department. Under ex. istng arrangements there has been central organization for the administration of these splendid recreatonal possessions Each of the fourteen national parks Is under separate management. It is very desirable that these parks be administered through general bureau at the seat of government in Washington.
 There Is constantly increasing volume of travel to the national parks. and 1t is necessary that there should be one central organization which may furnish reliable information attrac lively prepared for the benefit of tourists to the parks. Under the existing order of things very little systematic work in this direction has been possible. With a national park service, equipped with facilities and competent corps of workers there might be developed a fine bureau of in formation, supplying to the general public the things it wants to know about it's parks and monuments. It is to be noted in this connection that Canada through its department of parks has thoroughly exploited it's several national parks that during the season of 1915 when there West the Canadian parks attracted in the aggre. gate more visitors than the parks of the United States. thus affording a fine illustration of what the government in exploitation of its recrea- tional areas can do.

 Even the smallest back yard may be made to yield a supply of fresh vegetables for the family table at but slight expense if two or three crops are successively grown to keep the area occupied all the time, according to the garden specialists of the de- partment. People who would discharge a clerk If he did not work the year round will often cultivate a garden at no little trouble and expense and then allow the soil to lie idle from the time the first crop natures until the end of the season. Where a two or three crop system is used in connection with vegetables adapted to small areas, a space no larger than 25 by 70 feet will produce enough fresh vege- tables for small family. Corn, mel ons, cucumbers, and potatoes and oth- CT crops which require large area should not be grown in a garden of this size. Half an acre properly cul- tivated with careful crop rotation may easily produce $100 worth of vari- ous garden crops in year.
 When to Work Soil.
 If the garden was not broken in the fall, it should be plowed in the spring as. soon as the frost is out of the ground. Small areas may be worked with a spade, pushing the blade in to its full depth and turning the soil to break up the clods. Heavy soils should never be worked when wet. Overzeal-
