Stir Soil Freely.
rrcm the Philsdelph!a Public Ledger.

Hoeing the garden should start as
soon as the eye can follow the green
rows. Sometimes IL can be started
before, particularly if rain and sun
nave caked the dirt over the seeds
before the sprouts get to the surface
In that case break the crust care
fully with the garden rake. Do this
in the morning, when the ground Is
moist with dew.
Nothing has done more to furthe,
the science of farming than the dis
covery of the fact that IL you keer
stirring up the soil around a plant it
grows and produces better.
Frequent hoeing will save much
water and is better for the plants
The reason for this Is that the dus,
cover, or mulch" as IL Is called,
which is face soil in fine particles,
keeps the moisture in the soil dowr
around the roots of the plants from
evaporating. Hoeing keeps the sol
moist and mellow, formed by the
breaking up Of the surface.

Oriental Truth Tests.
Pom London Answers.


Hindus have many queer methods
Of finding out whether person is
speaking the truth or not
IF q man does any one an injury.
the injured person asks his assaila mt
whom he is forbidden from directly
4ccuSing--to chew quantity OF un-
i'oiled rice. previously blessed by the
priest. When the suspected person
Las done so. he throws out the grain,
and it is carefully examined. If any
Of the rice is found to be dry, the
man is Judged guilty. The reason for
ehis is said TO be that the mans
mouth has become parched through
fear.
Another method used by Hindus of
forcing the truth from person is to
make him declare q certain thing is
so while one of his fingers is dipped
In a basin of water brought from the
sacred river. the Ganges. No ortho-
COX Hindu would dare to tell an un-
truth under these conditions.
Yet a third way is TO ask a man to
make q statement while touching the
head of his son. The belief is that
should an untruth be told in these
circumstances the boy will at once
fall dead. Similar tests are employed
With mans parents. The Hindu is
firmly convinced that If he tells lie
while looking at the sun he Will
!-revocably be condemned to the tor
lnentS of he'll.
