WOULDN'T MARCH.

I hope you will always take an h- terest in the marching. Little Tommy, a boy I have heard about, did not care to march. He was int and would rather sit still than run about.
 Tommy's mother had told the teach CT that he must take part ln the march ing or any exercises that might take some of the extra fat off his lazy bones
 So the teacher tried her best to get Tommy interested in marching. He was a new boy in her class.
 But one morning when Tommy had missed 8 good many words in spelling and had not had the right answer to many of his arithmetic questions he was a bit sulky. Instead of blaming the mistakes on his own carelessness be was vexed with the teacher and cross with the children who had done their work right. It was very silly of Tommy.
 And when the teacher threw up the windows and said, NOW the class will stand up, ready for the march" Tom my planted his feet stubbornly on the floor and settled back in his seat
 The teacher looked surprised when Tommy did not rise with the others. She said: Tommy, please rise. You know We are going to march now"
 But Tommy growled, T don't want to march"
 The little girl at the piano began playing the march. The other children stepped brlskly around the room, and when the last child passed Tommy's desk the teacher was behind him. She whlsked Tommy out of his seat and. with her hands upon his shoulders, pushed him into place and walked him around the room with the rest of the children.
 At first Tommy was too taken back to object, but when he found himself being marched around the room against his will he squirmed and struggled so much that the rest of the children who had been trying to keep sober burst out laughing,
 Don't you think you could march by yourself now?" whispered the teacher, and Tommy muTmured, Yes"
 With his eyes on the ground he tramped briskly after the other chil- dren, and from that day to this the teacher has had no trouble In getting Tommy to join in the marching.

HOW TO PREPARE
 THE GARDEN SOIL Fsrtillzsrs and Limo Should Be Applied When Ground Is Ready.
rPrepared by United States department of
 agricultural

rprepared by United States department of
 agricultural
 A simple test to determine when garden soil Is ready for blowing OF working is to take a handful of earth from the surface and close the fingers tightly on 1t If the earth competed ln this way is dry enough for culdya- ton 1t will fall apart when the hand is opened. This test Is applicable only to comparatively heavy soils, but 1t Is these which receive the most injury If they are worked when wet On such soils overzealous gardeners not only waste their time, but frequently do actual damage by attempting to work them too early.
 After blowing or working with spade 1t is usually desirable to apply some form of fertilizer. Barnyard or stable manure, which furnishes both plant food and humus, Is undoubtedly the best, and applications of from twenty to thirty tons to the acre are satisfactory. The manure should be distributed evenly over the surface and later worked in with a hoe and rake. Freouenty 1t is advisable also to ap- ply commercial fertilizer, especially phosphate. An application of 800 to coo pounds of acid phosphate to the acre Is usually sufficient In order to supply potash, If this Is needed, un- bleached wood ashes may be dtstrtb- 7ted over the garden at the rate of 1000 pounds to the acre. Wet or leach ed ashes have less fertilizer value. Two thousand pounds of these should be used. In order to start the plants early in the spring applications of 1OO pounds to the acre of nitrate of soda are sometimes used. T. Is important. however. to remember that no form of commercial fertilizer will yield good results unless the soil is well supplied with humus. This frequently may be furnished In the form Of sod or other vegetation which has oyergrown a garden spot and may be turned under with 8 blow or spade.
 In certain localities 1t Is also ad- yisable to test the soil for acidity. Naturally moist soils are likely to be sour and in such Q condition are not likely to produce the most satisfactory crops. The test for acIdity or sour ness Is a very simple one. A handful of the soil slightly moistened and a piece of blue utmus paper, which can be obtained from any drug store, are all that is necessary. When placed on sour soil the paper will turn red. To correct such a condition lime should be used. The ground should be GOV cred with a thin coat of air slaked lime and the latter worked in well. Lime is not 8 plant food, but 1t will correct the acidity and will improve the physical condition of the soil.

ON GROWING ONIONS.
On Small Areas It Is Preferable to
 Plant Sets.

Plant Sets.
 Prepared by United States department of
 agricultural
 onions, like potatoes, are a staple crop that is grown commercially on a very extensive scale. AS a general rule. 1t Is well to have the crop follow some other one that has been kept un- der the hoe and free from weeds the previous season.
 In the north seed Is sown as early in the spring as the soil can be brought to the proper condition. In the south onion sets are frequently put out in the autumn and carried through the winter with the protection of little hay or straw. There are three meth ods of propagating OniOns-the first, by sowing the seed in rows where the crop Is to grow; second, by sowing the seed in specially prepared beds and transplandng the seedlings to the open ground. and, third, by planting sets which have been kept through the win ter. The first method is used by large commercial growers on account of the amount of labor involved in the others On small areas, however, 1t may be preferable to plant sets. Under normal conditions these may usually be ob- tained at planting time for about S2.60 a bushel, eight or nine bushels being required to plant an acre. Onions planted from sets will ripen earlie2 than those from seed sown tn the fields. When the transplanting meth cd is used the seed is sown in green. houses, hotbeds. cold frames or spe- cially prepared beds at the rate of three and one-half to four pounds for each acre to be planted. The seed lings are transplanted when they are somewhat smaller than a lead pencil and rather stocky. The root end of the seeding Is pushed Into the soil with one finger, and the soil Is then frmed about the plant
 The seed is Sown thickly in drills about twelve to fourteen inches apart. After the plants become established they are thinned to two or three inches apart. The maturity of the bulbs may be hastened by preventing the con- ttnued growth of the tops. This is sometimes accomplished by rolling an empty barrel over the rows and break ing down the tops. After these are practically dead the oniun bulbs may be pulled up by hand from the soil and spread in a dry, well ventilated place to cure. Thereafter they may be stored in crates or bags for winter use. In the north the crop ripens and is harvested during the latter part of the summer and early autumn. In the southern states, where the crop is grown during the winter, the harvest ing and marketing period takes place during the spring months.
