for the seasons garden from local
sources. such as stables. streets or
nbattoirs. Add these materials to the
compost heap so as to insure as large
supply as possible of suitable ma
terial with the smallest practicable use
of commercial fertilizers. This is de-
slrable to insure plant food and to save
expense. Commercial fertilizers are
scarce and high, and in garden work
even when such materials are abund.
ant and relatively cheap they cannot
entirely replace stable manure and
compost. Each city or town should
be able to supply the major part Of
the needs of its gardening population
II the fertilizers produced within its
limits are husbanded for their use.
Get Seeds Early.
AS soon as the spring catalogues are
available, select the list of seeds need
ed to plant the area to be used for gar
dening. In choosing the list, have in
mind the selection of those sorts which
