garden specialists suggest one or two
paintings in the early spring, just as
soon as the danger of severe frost is
past, and planting late in the sum-
mer for fall use. Throughout the
South spinach can be planted in Oc-
tober and remain in the open ground
all winter.
For growing spinach in the home
garden a bed about feet in width and
y or 30 feet in length should be Spad-
ed and a quantity of well-rotted ma
nure worked into the top 3 inches Of
soil. Three pounds of commercial fer
tilizer should also be scattered over
the surface and well worked into the
soil. Six or eight ounces of seed will
be sufficient for this space Sow in
little drills or burrows running length
wise of the bed. the rows to be about
g or 1 inches apart. The seed should
be covered y inch deep and the soil
slightly firmed over it. Watering
may be necessary if the weather
should be extremely dry following the
planting of the spinach seed.
Spinach grows quickly and requires
very little cultivation, except to loosen
the soil a tritie between the rows and
keep weeds from getting a start II
the plants are too thick-that is,
crowd each other-they can be thinned
out and those removed in thinning
cooked for green's. The plants left will
then have room to grow larger. Spin !
lcl is very desirable as an early spring
green, as it contains plenty of iron and !
other mineral matter. 1t should al |
ways be used while young and tender. !

For inclosing sheep pastures and

should be used. A less expensive

time allowances for inaccuracy in the

The Fast Mail was scheduled at
forty miles an hour. Its time at Banta
was eleven-fifty-three. Allowing the
1O16 the same rate of speed in the
opposite direction, it would have
passed Banta at eleven-twelve or there
abouts. Hence there would still be
forty-one minutes running time to be
divided between the eastbound train
and the westbound engine. In other
words, the meeting-point, with the two
running at the same speed, would fall
about twenty minutes west of Banta.

which, according to the way we had
things doped out, should have been
not more than thirteen or fourteen
miles west Of Banta. There was a
blind siding ten miles west, but be.
yond that, nothing east Of Sand Greek,
which was twenty-one miles farther
along; at least, there was nothing that
showed up on the map. The ten mile
siding might have served for the pass
ing point, but in that case the crew
Of the Fast Mail would surely have
seen the 1915 waiting on the siding as
they came by. And they hadn't seen
it; Kirgan said they had been ques-
toned promptly the following morn
ing. .-..
Though had been over the road
with Mr.. Norcross in his private car
any number of times since we had
taken hold, didn't recall the detail
biographies very clearly, and
couldn't seem to remember anything
about this siding ten miles west Of
Banta. So asked Kirgan.
''That siding isn't in any such shape
that the Fast Mail could get by with

The big master-mechanic shook his
head.
