 The melancholy hour between life and death was over, and slowly, with all the mysterious majesty of the East. night led out her shining myriads from the darkness into the waiting solitudes. Only the sentinel of the hour stood out as something living. tall rigid shadow magnified by the silver ghostly light of the stars.
 The sentry had turned and became suddenly an immense shadow. The shadow bent over him and whispered:
 Are you awake, comrade?'
 Yes, of course am awake" he said.

 Farquhar turned his head away. Hitherto he had not been conscious of pain; now he knew 1t had been there throughout, at the back of his con sciousness-a white-hot soaring of his muscles, a frightful crushing weight, a hand that seemed to hold him by the throat, choking the breath from him.

 He could not hear his own voice. He was not even sure that he had spoken at all The shadow of the sentry seemed to envelop the whole earth, plotting out its own shape. But the whisper went on. It sounded so close to him that it seemed to have crept into his very brain.

No. 7. Garden Management

 ist, University of Arkansas and
 U. s. Dept. of Agriculture.
 Possibly there is no other question that IS of equal importance to the gardener as is that of garden manage ment' And it is here that hundreds or our farmers fall in their garden operations. It makes no difference how favorable location we may have. how ideal the soil or how abundant the rainfall, one cannot hope to meet with the greatest success In his gar. aen work unless he manages it in the best possible way. If property managed half acre plot of good soil Is su1lciently large to supply a good. sized family with all the fresh vege- tables they will need throughout the year However, if the plot is managed ln the way most of the home gardens or the state are at the present time. It will require two acres to grow similar amount of vegetables.
 Planting. The question of when ana how to plant the different vsge- tables may be of interest to many gardeners over the state. One of the nrst things to determine is whether the vegetables are frost tender OF frost hardy; that Is. are they killed py rrost or will they withstand such with out injury. Vegetables belonging to the frost hardy group are such as peas Cgarden), beets, lettuce, radishes and onions. These can be planted very early in the spring without dan ger of being killed by ordinary frost
 The frost tender vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, egg plant, beans. corn etc, cannot be planted in the open until danger of frost is about past However, 1t is a good Idea 10 start some of these in the hot bed 'early SO that the plants will be large enough to set out by the time the weather becomes sufficiently warm.
 The depth to plant the different vegetable seed depends largely upon the size of the seed The small seed Ike celery should not be covered more than one-eighth of an inch while TOT large seed like beans or peas two 10 three inches deep will not be 700 great The fine seed also require that me soil be placed in the finest possi- ble condition.
 cultivation. Cultivation in the gar uen should be frequent, but shallow IS not considered advisable to cgl- tivate more than two or three inches ueep, but the whole garden should bo gone over at least once every ten days. ms will keep down all weed growth ana at the same time prevent the es- cape Of moisture from the soil. There are many kinds of implements on the market that are suitable for garden work Generally speaking. an imple- lheht that pulverizes the soil thor 'oughly and at the same time throws very little dirt, and leaves the ground ID level condition Is the best type use. Cultivate as soon as possible aiter each rain, but do not blow the ground when 1t is too wet. Hand i'm p'ements are necessary to keep rne
