J. q. Reed came from Salt Lake
and bought sixty acres Of Guy Sage
at $166.66 an acre. 1t has three
room house with full basement, a
we'll and stable and the ground
needed considerable grading. They
have made considerable improve-
ments on the place and devote some
attention to garden, fruit and
flowers having very fine display OIL
sweet peas Of the Spencer variety
with very rich colors. They plant
their garden on a new tract each
year preferring to have 1t on ground
that has been broke up from lafalfa
because 1t is mellow. In this way
they escape the effect of using old
ground that gets hard and sticky.
Their garden proves the advantageI
Of this plan for everything grows
luxuri0usly and they have garden
truck in such quantity that they dry
and can all that they want. They
have the American Wonder pea that
crows to a height of from two to
three feet and is an ever-bearer,
putting out new bloom and new pods
Ill the while as 1t ripens up the
others. 1t is very rich and sweet
ind is recommended by all those
Who have tried it. One advantage
about having the garden out in the
1eld where they have plowed up
'ome meadow is that the chickens
lever disturb it and the disadvant-.
lge is that they have to walk some
distance to get to the garden when
hey want anything. People who
ire annoyed with chickens in the
garden and do not find it convenient
o fence 1t might find considerable
abstraction in adopting Mr.. Reeds
Ian for it.
