duce more than any other similar area.
To get maximum production, however,
it is necessary to keep the land busy
all the time. This can be done two
ways; first by companion cropping,
and, second, by following one crop
with another or successive planting.
There are a number of crops that
lend themselves to companion crop
ping. For example, where onion sets
are planted In rows, say 1S inches be-
tween the rows, a row of radishes,
spinach, or lettuce can be drilled be-
tween the rows of onions and be off
the ground before the onions need the
space. Spinach, radishes, early beets,
or turnips can be planted between car
rots, parsnips, and satisfy. A crop Of
snap beans can frequently be grown
between the rows Of tomatoes. Radish
seeds may often be planted alongside
a row of peas. the radishes being
pulled and out of the way before the
peas begin to climb the trellis or
brush provided for their support or
to spread over the ground. A little
later in the season sweet corn or late
cabbage can be planted between the
rows of early Irish potatoes and make
considerable of start before the
Irish potatoes are dug.
In the middle section, early peas
may be followed by late cabbage, late
potatoes, late snap beans, beets, or
turnips. Early Irish potatoes may be
followed by turnlps, late snap1 Jeans,
or by late sweet corn.
Plan Fall Gardens.
Fall gardens should in no case be
overlooked, especially from the Middle
states southwark. Paintings Of prac-
tically all the early spring vegetables
may be made from July to September,
according to locality, and be brought
to maturity before early autumn
frosts. By proper attention to the gar
den, fresh vegetables may be had
through period Of about 10 months
of the year in the extreme south and
for about months in the middle sec
tion. The season for the New Eng
land and northwestern sections is
necessarily much more limited, but
even here the efficiency Of garden
can be greatly increased by careful
study and attention to the matter of
companion cropping and successive
iplantings Of certain vegetables.

"Well," said Michael, II walk out

the tennis court where the people play,

and then 1 wait until hear some one

I go and drop the ball at the persons

"The person who is serving is the

in an investigation embracing the
standards of management on ten
farms selected by specialists Of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture in the region mentioned, and
the results are embodied in Farmers
upon application to the division of
publications.
The bulletin shows that the average
yield of corn for the state is 1880
bushels an acre; while on the ten
selected farms it is $3.50 bushels; the
average wheat yield for the state
is 1S bushels and for the tenf farms
29.75; hay average for the state is
LAB tons an acre and for the ten
farms that grew oats produced an
average Of 45 bushels an acre as COM
pared with the state average of 33.1O
bushels.
A survey of 37s farms in Chester
county on which exceptionally high
standards of management are main
tanned, including close attention to
handling of barnyard manure, showed
an average corn yield of 65.3 bushels !;
wheat 24.S, and oats 41.6. The COM
paratively high yields in Chester coun-
ty, the specialists say, cannot be
credited entirely to the way in which
manure Is handled, because the soil
in that county is much better than the
states average soil, but special at
tention to manure and its conserva-
ton has been an outstanding feature
of that county's farming.

The British government now put
forth a strong effort to reduce the
colonies to submission. An army of
$4,000, including 1900 German mer-
cenaries C'HessiansD, was sent under
command of Sir William Howe to put
down this wicked rebellion" The thir-
teen colonies adopted constitutions as
Independent and sovereign states. On
June Z, 1776, Richard Henry Lee of
Virginia offered resolution in con-
gress declaring that "the united col
onies are, and ought to be, free and
independent states; that they are alb
solved from all allegiance to the Brit
ish crown; and that all political con-
nection between them and the state
of Great Britain is, and ought to be,
dissolved"
Birth Of Declaration.
This resolution, after an earnest
debate, was adopted by the votes of
the delegates of nine out of the thir-
teen colonies. A committee consisting
of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams,
Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman
and Robert Il. Livingston was In
structed to prepare declaration in
accordance with the above resolution
and the celebrated Declaration of In
dependence, written by Mr.. Jefferson,
based upon the equality of all men
and the universal right of self-govern-
ment, and asserting that "all govern
ment derives Its just powers from the
consent of the governed" on July 4,
1776, received the assent of the dele
gates of the colonies, which thus dis
solved their allegiance to the British
crown and declared themselves free
and independent states.
Dark Days for Patriots.
After the evacuation of Boston by
the British, Gen. Washington, with
the remains of his army, thinned by
the hardships of winter, hastened to
New York. On July Gen. Howe
being Joined by his brother, Admiral
Lord Howe, and Sir Henry Clinton
found himself at the head OF 35,ooo
men; defeated the Americans on Long
Island Aug. q, 1776. compelled the
evacuation of New York and secured
possession of Its spacious hdruor anu
the Hudson river.
On Christmas night Gen. Washing
ton by crossing in boats among hoat-
ing ice made a successful night attack
upon a Hessian force at Trenton and
gave new courage to the despairing
Americans, who recruited the army
and harassed the enemy with win
ter campaign.
In the meantime Silas Deane and
BENJAMIN Franklin had been sent to
France to solicit recognition and aid
The recognition was delayed, but I'M
portant aid was privately given IN
money and supplies, and European
yolunteers-the Marquis de Lafayette
Baron Steuben, Baron de Kalb, KOS

important services.

New York to form junction with the
British on the Hudson and separate
New England from the rest of the
confederacy. After two sharp actions
at Saltwater and Saratoga, with but
three days rations left he was COM
PEELED to capitulate on Oct. II; and
England, in the midst of victories,
heard with dismay of the loss of an
entire army. The Americans gained
5000 muskets and large train Of
artillery.
France recognized American indie
pendence and sent large fleet and
supplies of clothing, arms and NUM-
tions of war to their aid and Gen.
Clinton, who had superseded Gen.
Howe, finding his supplies at Phila-
delphia threatened, retreated to New
York, defeating the Americans at Mon
mouth, N. ].
Patriots Hands Strengthened.
Spain and then Holland Joined in
the war against England and aided
the Americans. But the king and par
lament were determined to maintain
the honor of the crown and the in
tegrity of the empire. In 1850, 5000
seamen and $4,000 additional troops
were sent to America, and a strong
effort was made to subjugate the Caro-
linas, where the war assumed bitter
partisan character and was conducted
with spirit by Sumpter, Marion and
other southern chieftains. Lord Corn
wallis with large army marched
from Charleston through North Caro-
lima pursuing and sometimes defeating
the American general Gates. Worn
out with his success he arrived in Vir-
ginia where he was confronted by the
Marquis de Lafayette. In the mean
time Admiral de Varney had arrived
upon. the coast with powerful French
fleet, and 5000 soldiers, the elite OF
the French army, under Count de
Rochambeau, while Washington hur-
ried from New York. CORVALLIS was
obliged to fortify himself in Yorktown,
blockaded by the fleet Of Count de
Grasse, and besieged by the allied
army of Americans and French, waited
for Sir Henry Clinton to send him
relief from New York. October 10,
1881, he was compelled to surrender
his army of 1000 men-an event which
produced such change of feeling In
England as to cause the resignation
of the ministry and the dispatch OF
Gen. Sir Guy Carleton to New York
with offers of. terms of peace. The
preliminaries were signed at Paris
Nov. 80, 1882, and on Sept. 3, l7s3,
England concluded peace with France,
Holland and America. The independ-
ence of each of the several states was
acknowledged, with a liberal settle
ment of territorial boundaries. In
April, 1888, cessation of hostilities
had been proclaimed and the Ameri-
can army disbanded. New York.
