Amateur Gardeners Must
Not Be Too Ambitious

Plant a garden by all means, but do
not make it too big, is the advice Of
the New York College of Agriculture
1t is much better to succeed with q
few hundred square feet than to fail
with three times as much ground.
The first job is to clean up weeds,
stones and rubbish; then literally ap-
ply manure which is at least partially
rotted at the rate of about 200 pounds
to each 100 square feet. Even more
may be used, and fifty pounds to the
hundred square feet is better than
none. If there is a limited supply put
it on literally as far as it will go, then
plant the smaller crops on manured
ground and the coarser ones on the un-
manured. Street sweepings have great
value for improving garden soils.
If manure is not to be had buy an all
around fertilizer or potato fertilizer
or garden fertilizer and apply this at
the rate of from three to five pounds
for each hundred square feet. 1t will
not take the place of manure, but it
will help.
The next task is to spade or plow the
land. In plowing, cover the manure or
bury it as you spade, being sure that
straw does not stick out of the soil
above the surface. Do not spade so
deeply as to bring up very much Of
the light colored subsoil. Never plow
or spade soil when it is wet or sticky.
It should crumble readily as it is
turned over.

LEARN TO SAVE MONEY.
Banking Merely a Dollar a Week 10 a
Good Investment

Soou investment.
at is mighty hard" said an unfortu-
nate workingman some time ago to the
writer, 'to save up thousand dollars
by laying aside a dollar or two a week
and then to take it out of the savings
bank and lose it to a get rich quick
swindler, as l have just DONE"
The poor fellow could work and save,
but he had not had even a kindergar-
ten education in finance, else his story
would have been different. He had
never given thought to interest and
so was absolutely ignorant of growth
through compound interest and, of
course, had never heard Of that won
derful process of accumulation known
as progressive compound interest"
One dollar deposited in a savings
bank that pays per cent will amount
to $2.19 in twenty years. This is sim.
pie compound interest. Now, if you
deposit 81 every year for twenty years,
or $40 in all, the sum to your credit
will have grown to $30.97.
Any wage Garner can put by 81 a
week. That money deposited in a saw
ings bank for twenty years will have
increased to $1,612. A deposit of So a
week will have grown to $4,000, anG
this at 4 per cent will be $500 a year
There is no secret, no mystery, about
this. 1t is as clear as the cloudless
sun, and the method is just as Clean
and hOnest.-Christian Herald.

Wisdom of Persia,

Purity is for man, next to life, the
greatest good. That purity is procured
by the law of Mazda to him who
cleanses his own self with good
thoughts, words and deeds.
Thou shouldst not become presump-
tuous through any happiness Of the
world, for the happiness of the world
Is such like as cloud that comes on a
rainy day, which one does not ward
off by any hill.-From the Zend-Avesta,

Mats For Potted Plants.

Leftover pieces of oilcloth or lino
leum can be cut any shape or size and
by being painted or vanished make
excellent mats for potted plants and
flowers. They can be painted any de-
sired color and are easily cleaned by
wiping with damp cloth. These mats
prevent the porch or stand from being
scratched or stained by the pots.

Not long after Peters return another

Peter listened to her appeals till the
import OF the stirring events came over
him. In the deposition Of the czar, the

HAVE THE LAW ON FEM.

Two additional cases, arising from the passage of county classification law by the last le- gislature, have been appealed to the supreme court. In these in- stances, however, the plaintiffs or former office holders secured judgment in the superior court.
 w. s.. Mcknight, who served as sheriff in Santa Cruz county from February 14, 1912, to De- cember 31, 1916, was given judg- ment in the superior court against the county to the extent of $6, 700. This amount, the court ruled, is due him for ser vices rendered according to the county classification law.
 R. R. Earhart, former treas urer of Santa Cruz county, was awarded $500 in the superior court for back salary due him under the classification act. He served from January 1, 1915, to December 31, 1916. His salary was $500 a year und under the classification law it should have been $22OO year.
 The county has appealed both rulings to the supreme court. Gazette.
