Imagine circular field 2 IL miles in
diameter; place library globe two
feet in diameter in the very center;
80 feet away put mustard seed. The
globe will represent the sun and the
mustard seed Mercury.
At distance of 142 feet place a
pea, and another at 215 feet. These
will represent Venus and the earth,
both as to size and distance A rather
large pinhead at a distance Of 327
feet will speak for Mars, and fair
sized tangerine quarter Of a mile
distant will stand for Jupiter. A
small lemon at two-fifths of a mile
will play the role Of Saturn, a large
cherry three-fourths of a mile dis
tant will answer for Uranus and a

the field will proclaim Neptune.

Use Manure On
Garden Lands

American gardeners could well aft
ford to learn lesson from the French
gardeners regarding the use of man
ure on their lands. In some cases
where French gardeners are working
on rented land, a clause in the lease
provides that should the gardener be
required to vacate the land he is
permitted to remove the top soil to
special depth. 1t is customary to ap-
ply anywhere from to inches of
manure a year on French gardens.
This. is composted and mixed with the
soil and in the course of a few weeks
becomes part of the soil itself. It
is needless to state that some enor-
nous crops are grown on this land.
While it would not be possible for
American gardeners to secure suffi-
cient quantities of manure to apply it
at the rate that is used by the French
gardeners, yet effort should be made
to secure as much of this material as
possible and put it directly upon the
land where intensive crops are to be
grown. The plan of having a COM
post heap in one corner of the garden
where everything in the nature of
manure can be piled and composted
together is good one. Into this pile
should go all weeds that do not bear
objectionable seeds, pieces of sod,
clippings from the lawn, leaves and
manure. By turning the pile at inter-
walls, a rich, mellow material is pro-
duced which is suitable for top dress
ing the garden soil. Owing to the
limited quantity of manure available
at present its use should be restrict
ed to those crops that make a quick
growth and require plenty of fertility
in the soil.
