PLANNING the Farm Garden.

College Park, Md, Jan. l8.-The i'm.
portance OF the farm garden to the
country household is now being i'm.
pressed ON the students of the Mary,
land State College Of Agriculture en-
rolled in the correspondence course on
vegetable growing. In connection with
planning the farm garden. the writer.
e. F. Stoddard, says:
ALong before the time Of seed
planting, the size of the plot should
be secured and plan of the garden
drawn to scale. This will enable the
grower to figure out Just how many
rows Of vegetables he can have, and
also just where each vegetable will be
planted. Then when planting time
comes, the work can proceed without
further difficulty. An architect always
draws a plan before he builds house.
Is it not Just as important for the gar
ndener to plan his work beforehand?
he exact plan of the garden will de.
bend upon the personal tastes Of the
vner and viii be different for each
Individual
Whatever the size Of the garden
may be it should be oblong in shape.

rows, wide apart, to permit of horse
tillage as much as is possible. Here
every effort shorld oe made to reduce

roduce the best yields with a mini
expenditure Of labor. regardless

Trees On Pasture.

Perhaps one of the greatest sour
ces of loss of fertility from pasture
soils results from the poor location
of shade trees and brush, according
to the author of The Grazing Indus
try Of the Bluegrass Region, bull
letin recently published by the de-
partment. Trees and brush, he
states, should always be set on the
higher portions of the field and not
along the banks of running streams,
as SO often is the case. With good
grass, the animals do not Craze more
than one-third of the time; the rest
of the time is spent lying down OF
standing in the shade fighting flies.
Hence much of the manure that Is
made does not get back directly on
the land that produced the grass. Il
the manure produced while the ami
mails. are not grazing is deposited or
the tops of the hills, it's beneficial
fleets on the grass may be noted
for several rods down the hillsides.
It is easy to believe that if one-halt
to two-thirds of the manure is los
from pasture fields and none is
added, the crops must gradually
deterioate.

Rulers of EnaIand.

The first to rule over all England was
Egbert, king of Wessex, who united all
the various petty kingdoms and became
king of England in S27. The greater
kingdom was disrupted from S78 to
958. when the Danes ruled north of the
Thames. In the latter year King Ed
gar reunited the kingdom, and since
that time it has never been partitioned.
Between Edmund Ironside 1016) and
Edward the Confessor QO42, three
Danish kings ruled all England-Ca-
mute. Harold l. and Hardicanute. The
first king of Great Britain was James
l. Q603). The first king of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
was George III. From the conquest of
Ireland in 1172 by Henry II. the kings
Of England were styled lord of Ireland
until the assumption of the title king
Of Ireland by Henry VIII, and there
after this title was used until the act
of union in 1901. The imperial sover-
eighty of India was assumed by Queen
Victoria.

penaltx of the Peach.

The Egyptians appear to have been
acquainted with what is commonly
called prussic acid. the most deadly Of
poisons. I'll is held that they distilled it
from certain plants and trees. notably
the peach In the Louvre there Is an
ancient Egyptian papyrus from which
the following has been deciphered:
Pronounce not the name Of l. A. O..
under the penaltysof the peach" This
has been supposed, to be death warn
ing to those who might be tempted tn
reveal mysteries In connection with the
religious rites of the priests.
The Romans probably learned of prus-
sic acid from the Egyptians. History
has it that In the reign OF Tiberius a
Roman knight accused of treason drank
poison and Immediately fell dead at
the feet of the senators. a significant
circumstance. inasmuch as no other
poison has the almost instantaneous
effect Of prussic acid.
