HINTS FOR THE HOME
GARDENER.

The gardener who merely wishes to
raise vegetables for his own family
will do well. especially this year, to
choose the crops he will grow from
those which previously have done best
in his special locality. The market
gardener must bear this fact in mind,
but also must study the market and
anticipate its usual demand and deter
mine as far as he can how this demand
will be affected by any untoward
weather conditions which may have
occurred in his section.
Those who desire to produce early
crops should bear in mind that a
warm, sandy loan will produce an
earlier crop than heavier soil that
retains more water and less heat
Frost Is less apt to injure vegetables
planted on high ground than those
planted in low places or valleys into
which the heavier cold air commonly
settles. The garden should be fairly
level, but we'll drained. The crop will
mature more rapidly on land that has
a sunny, southern exposure than in
other plots.

made to search the literature for in
formation regarding its early utiliza-
ton in Asia.
The species was at least sufficiently
well known to be mentioned in Euro
pean literature more than three CEN
turtles ago. but UP to the time of Lin
naeus (1750-1790) no botanists or ag-
riculturists apparently had ever
recommended it's domestication. About
1888 lie Blanc became interested in
the plant, which he termed yellow
Medick," on account of its ability to
produce a good growth on poor soil.
He conceived the idea of it's domesti-
cation. but in the course Of his inves-
LEGATIONS his attention was attracted to
a hybrid Of Mciicago saliva and Medi-
cago falcata, to which he gave the
name "variegated Medick." In his
opinion, this plant was superior to
either the common lucern or the yell
low medick, and therefore he discon-
tinued his efforts to domesticate the
latter.
The literature Of the past century
contains many references to the culti-
walton CT Me(licago falcata, but outside

/ of limited localities in India, China and
southern Russia. where 1t Ia reported
to be cultivated to some extent. 1t Is
not grown under cultivation except for
experimental purposes. 1t Is a signifi-
cant fact that regardless Of the rela-
tionship of Niedicago falcata to COM
mon alfalfa, the early recognition Of
its value. and the numerous attempts
to dOmesticate it, the plant is still an
uncultivated species However. it
must b. said that 1t is proba bly, utilized
at the present time more than ever
before in Europe and Asia, but wholly
as wild plant on the ranges and in
pastures. According to Hansen. it is
attracting attention as a range plant
in European Russia. Meyer is author
ity for the statement that the Kali
mucks and Sarts In Chinese Turkestan
gather II. together with other wild
plants, as hay for horses and cattle
Nilsson indicates that 1t is utilized
quite abundantly in Sweden as a wild
pasture plant on dry, sandy land. 1t
Is reasonable to conclude. therefore

forms to appear, but one whose origin
Is wholly unknown. Its true color is
dun or dull brown that has been lik-
ened to cinnamon. In exhibition birds
the color is usually intensified by color
feeding. In addition to the body color
the cinnamon canary is peculiar in
possessing red or pink eyes, char
acter that denotes cinnamon blood
even in a yellow or buff bird. The Gin
namon inheritance is transmitted only
by the male: young reared from a Gin
namon mother and a male of any
other form lacking cinnamon blood
never shows signs of their cinnamon
parentage.
Among the old-esta blished varieties
that now are In decadence none is
more striking than the lizard canary.
Lizard canaries are known as gold or
silver according as the body color is
yellow or silvery gray. The wings and
tail are black and the back is spangled
with numerous somewhat triangular
black spots. The crown in pure-bred
birds is unspotted and light in color.

MORE WHOLESOME LIVING.

1t is the cheerful custom of on,
times to urge what amounts to i'm
providence and insist that the liberal
spending of our money is for the best
not only for ourselves but for every
body Every effort to reduce nyine
expenses IS frowned on and considered
az a mean and undetermined attack on
some industry which ought to be en-
couraged II we do not wear gold
rings, we are not treating the gold
miners right, nor are we giving the
jewellers a fair shake in business. How
can we expect the jeweler to buy our
pork and sauer kraut il we do not buy
his gold rings? We are hurried on to
make more that we may spend more
with others. SO that they may spend
more, and so on, and so on.
There Is no end to this sort of thing.
and there is no health in this kind OF
hectic existence. The principle OF
making more that we may spend IL
faster Is not a worthy basis for our
philosophy.
A little economy would be whole
some thing for all of us and would
help amazingly in the matter of the
high cost of living.-Idaho Farmer.

that the stock thus secured has fur
nished the ancestors of all our cana
ries. The slight differences in color
between the serin finch and the canary
would probably have passed unnoticed
by early ornithologists and bird lovers
With bird catching widespread prac-
tice in middle and southern Europe,
the serin would often be made captive
and be accepted without question as a
canary. In this way serins and wild
canaries may have been interbred I'M
til all distinguishable differences were
lost.
The original canary, whether serin
or true wild canary, in its native haunt
was much different in color from its
modern pure-bred descendant The
back of the wild bird is, in general,
gray tinged with olfve-green. especial
ly ON the rump, with dark shaft streaks
on the feathers. Underneath It is yell
lowish, streaked ON sides and fianks
with dushy. Wild canaries from the
Canary Islands, the Azores, and Ma
deira differ from the continental serins
IN being slightly grayer with less Of
yellowfsh green in the plumage above.
In addition, the rump is duller yellow
and the bill is distinctly larger. All of
the wild birds have the feet and legs
(tarsi) horn brown the upper half Of
the bill dark brown or horn color, and
the lower half paler.

OF GOOD SEED BED
AND CULTIVATION.

The conservation of soil moisture IL
the most important reason for culti-
waiting crops. The two other principal
things accomplished by cultivation are
the killing of weeds which draw mois-
ture and plant food from the crops.
and the aeration of the soil.
Too much stress can not be laid on
the preparation of good seed bed. A
seed bed Of fine tilth--made SO by deep
blowing, careful narrowing, and fining
of the soils the foundation Of good
gardening. 1t is essential for the
proper termination and growth of
young plants. The soil must be friable
and free from clods. A clod can hold
no plant food in solution. the only
form in which it is available for the
plant. Good soil and fine filth insure
an excellent root system to plants.
Upon the fine, hairy, fibrous. feeding
roots, which are possible only in we'll
titled soil, the plant depends for its
stockiness and growth. The careful
gardener will regard his whole garden
az a seed bed and will cultivate and
fertilize ii accordingly.
