Firm tIne Seed We'll in the Soil
 A freouent cause of failure, or Of poor results with late plantings. when the soil is usually not as moist as 1t IS in the spring is neglect to pack the soil about the newly planted seed firm ly enough.
 After opening the drill or furrow, and distributing the seed. go over the row with the back of the hoe or rake or. in case of large seeds, such as peas. beans, or corn, with the ball of the foot,-and press the seed down into the soil. Then cover immediately while the dirt is still fresh and moist, to the depth required for the kind of seed being sown.
 - Cover small seeds-such as carrots, lettuce, kohI-rabi, onions. leek, and turnips-about one-fourth inch deep. Celery and parsley cover barely from sight, soaking seed a day or two first to hasten germination.
 Cover mediun-sized seeds-such as beets, parsnips, cucumbers, saIsiry, spinach and Swiss chard-about one- half inch deep.
 Cover large seeds-such a beans, corn, squash, and pumpkin-one or two inches deep. In light soil, or very
 
 dry weather, plant deeper than usual In heavy soil, or wet weather, shallow CT. After covering the seed, again press the soil down lightly on the surface to prevent air spaces and to mark where the row or, hill has been plant ed. On heavy clay soil or very wei weather, of course, little or no com: paeting of the soil over the seeds will l be required. .., The details of planting root crops for winter use will be given in the next article, which will appear in -oul l issue soon.

WHEN MARRIAGE IS A FAILURE.

Surely, marriage. is a failure when its essential purpose, the raising of a family of children, proves impossi- ble. In the childless home the mar ried pair. though sometimes more or less unconscious of the fact, grow disappointed and lonely. Lacking the best tie to hold them together they are likely to drift apart, hence many separations and divorces.
 If every wife, whose physical state prevents motherhood. would but try that great remedy, Lydia B. Pink hams Vegetable Compound, there would be far fewer childless homes. Adv.
