Benefits From Gardening.

The man who puts in honest and con-
sclcntlous work on his garden must be
n winner, even if not one radish ever
finds It's way to his dinner table. He
Is benefited by the vigorous outdoor
work, He is strengthened by the con-
Sciousness of having done his best
And he has gained valuable expert
enCe which will enable him to do bet
ter next year.
1t is safe to predict that the gar
dens that fail to produce anything will
be very few. The spirit which In
spires the backyard gardener Is the
spirit that works miracles. OF those
who undertake the work with little
hope the majority are likely to be
happily surprised. Even partial sue
cess is an abundant reward, and 1t will
be an incentive for more intelligent
though not more conscientious work In
the future. Exchange.
