 had just that sort. of barrel and any quantity9of cobbles. So | fixed it up according to .dirertionsss The to- mato grew: you just bet it did. Grew so fast and rank that had to build a sort of cupofs above the barrel to keep the coverings necessitated by two or three late frosts from breaking it over. True also was it that two tomatoes set on it before any of my other plants were in blossom. The. two grew to about the size of trade dollars and then both turned black on the flower end and rotted on the stem. That was the end of it's crop. I tried the same scheme g second year, with another
 barrel and fresh cobblestones in a new place. This time I didn't use so 1 rich soil, nor water it so plentifully. Not a single flower appeared on it. this second trial, till after had picked 1 ripe fruit from plants set in the open. i the ordinary way. Then it, woke up
 and set and ripened five tomatoes, the i biggest about the size of an egg. I don't think I got less than a full peck | of ripe tomatoes off the very poorest plant set in the regular way in the 1 regular bed, that season.
 You may properly infer that I'm not using inverted sods nor half-buried
 barrels to hasten" my melons and to- n1atoes, any more
 Last spring, when the "war garden craze was at it's height, some western paper came out with long descrip-
 ton of how Kansas man. think it
 was Kansas-l1ad grown all the pota-
 toes big family could eat of a winter
 in a 12 by F pen or cage made of old fence rails in his back yard.
 Anybody could do the same, any where, it was asserted. All you had
 to do was to lay down square or
 four old fence rails tapping at the cor.
 ners, loghouse fashion, fill up to, the
 top with rich dirt, plant your potatoes
 in it six or eight inches apart; then
 add four more rails, fill up with more
 dirt, plant more potatoes; and so or
 to any desired height. Six feet, be-
 lieve, it was in the case referred to
 The potatoes would grow out between
 the rail sides till it was one greaA mound of potato tops, All you had te do was to water the thing adequately and, when the tops ripened, tear dowr your pen and rake out the numerous
 bushels of potatoes. That was the , idea.
 The whole yarn was little fish, to my smell, and I didn't try it. Bu , Mir. E. T. Galloway. writer in Rurs [, New Yorker. did, and his report O !, results is interesting. He made a per only 6X6x6 out of corner posts ant

 In all farming there are certain ways to do things. Nobody but bumptious, bigot would assert that the ways we follow are always the, best ways. But there's one thought always to be kept in mind to wit, namely, that is to say:
 1 In the matter of raising crops it is not we but Nature that germinates the seed fosters the shoot, pi"WGcess the fruit and finally ripens it. We don't do single one of.these4 things:
 All our part is to take, advantage ,.of
 Natures causatiye and creative move
 ments and steer our small skiffs, 50
 far as may be-, into a. course parallel, with hers She doesn't care whether she grows 8 Canada thistle or a to- mato She'll do either one, cheerfuily
 and whole heartedly, whichever comes first to her hand. All we can do is to keep the thistle away from her nurs- ing, if we can, and maintain the tona-- to under that nursing. She'll do the rest N I Our part is simply to learn what she can do and will do, so far as pos! sible, and then take advantage of what l she is going to do. anyway. to get our own living out of it. If we'll do; that l toddle along behind her, keeping in her tracks and out of her way, she 1 doesn't care what use We make of her 1 scatterings. s f,"+ 1 But we can't fool her, nor. can we overreach her, nor can we stack any l cards against her. We can't delude her for one minute, nor trick her by
 any sort of artful dodgery into doing what we want her to do but what she doesn't intend to do.' .x...-.. /. , I She is never in any hurry She doesn't have to be-. If time isn't long
 enough. there's all eternity-and botf time and eternity are hers. The roa6 she is going is the road she wifi go and no pulling of ours at her skirts l will twist her out of it. If like gooG little boys with their scl1oolna' am we'll trot along after her, watch ou for her movements, study her moods
 and be humbly ready to honor he seemingly inconsequent lwhims,s she often permit us a peanut or a stick 70
 candy or, perhaps, a :wllacking bi crop of noble potatoes. But if we 4un
 dertake to bamboozle her into som
 byway not oh her. straight road, why then-we'1 very likely get two rotte1 l tomatoes from a barrel or eight pound four ounces of potatoes from 150 hill
 and a summers back-breaking Worl
 wheeling soil and carrying water. , 1 Which, probably, will be about wina
 we deserve, for not knowing our fplac f and keeping in it.
