CARE OF THE HOME GARDEN.
How to Get Good Results With Either
Flowers or Vegetables.

Never permit the surface of the soil
In the garden to form Il crust. Con-
slant stirring with hand tools or a
wheel cultivator should be practiced
between the rows and about the plants
This permits air TO penetrate the soil,
where it facilitates chemical action and
bacterial activity, destroys weeds which
would utilize large amounts of plant
food that the cultivated plants require,
and finally ii conserves the moisture
supply. The hoe and the rake are most
generally used for this purpose. This
advice applies with equal force to both
the flower and vegetable gardens.
Where plants are grown closely in the
rows it will be necessary to weed be-
tween the plants by hand. Small i'm
PIGMENTS are made for this purpose and
are sold at tritling price.
Cutivating should he done after ev-
cry rain, but not until the water has
drained off and the soil is in workable
condition. Working in muddy soil will
cause il TO form cemcnt-like mass. in
which plant food will be securely lock
ed, and the plants will suffer because it
is not released for their support.
As soon as the excess moisture has
run off or soaked in or partially evapo-
rated, cultivation should be given to
prevent the crust which otherwise will
form. A crust formed on the surface
of the soil restricts the plants, causes
excess evaporation and the loss of
moisture required by the plants and
prevents access of air.
During dry spells, if the plants give
evidence of suffering for the lack OF
moisture water should, If possible. be
supplied artifcially. The usual method
in small gardens is sprinkling with a
hose. Late in the afternoon is the best
time to sprinkle, when a thorough wet
ting shonld be given. Small burrows
can be opened between the rows of
plants and water turned into these
bitches from the hose. After the water
has soaked in draw the earth back in
place-New York Sun.
