ENRICH SOIL BY TRENCHING

The home gardeners of England take
great pains In preparing their soil,

the surface soil tu one side and then
spading manure into the subsOil to q
depth of II to 16 inches. After the sub
soil Is so treated the surface soil Is re-
placed and great quantities of rotted
manure mixed with 1t. This process
Is known as "trenching." 1t results In

out the regions mentioned neither corn
nor potatoes should he planted on such
land, because these crops will almost
surely be severely injured IL this be
done. Ground that was In pure clover
or even IN corn last year Is likely to
be- quite safe for planting to corn this
year, because the beetles which are
the parents OF the white grubs do not
usually lay their eggs In such crops.
A good rotation Of crops to escape
white grub injury Is as follows: First
year, oats or barley: second year,
clover; third year, corn. Timothy or

APPLYING WATER TO GARDEN
OF Much Importance That Work
Should Be Done Without Injury to
Any Of Various Plants.

In applying water to garden crops II
is important that the work should be
done thoroughly without injury to the
plants. An occasional thorough water
ing, with at least one good cultivation
after each watering, will give better re-
suits than more frequent sprinkling of
the surface. Home gardeners have in
many instances fitted up simple sys-
tens for irrigating their gardens that
