filled with water.
Permit the water to settle and soak
into the soil. Then put your seeds
in and cover the trench with dry
earth.
1t is Il good practice to visit your
garden during the early morning,
while the dew is still present on the
plants.
Such inspection will reveal what
has happened during the night and
prepare you to combat any insect in
vasion.
Don't attempt a garden of such
size that its care will become bur
den.
A small plot intensely cultivated
is far better than one half cared for.
Plants will be stimulated into
growth much faster if the surface
soil frequently is stirred with a rake.
Stirring not only eliminates weeds,
but likewise admits air-a vital
plant food absolutely necessary to
healthy growth.

the cultivation Of all crops whenever
possible.
By succession cropping is meant
the growing of the same vegetable
throughout long season.
Lettuce, for example, may be sown
very early. But if you sow all your
seed at once, all your lettuce will
mature at about the same time and
you won't be able to eat it ALL
To prevent such waste, mark off
the space you intend allotting the
various crops, and sow but small
portion of the seed at once.
Follow the first sowing week or
so later with another one. In this
way you will get a succession Of
crops continuing to the close IF the
gardening season.
This plan applies especially to rad
ishes, onion (sets, not seed), peas,
beans, kohlrabi, spinach and sweet
corn.

Whatever else you do, don't be
| guilty of drowning your garden.
Many beginners make the mistake
| of watering their crops too much.
| This practice is probably founded
on the falIacy that the more nois-
ture plants are given the better they
! will grow.
Too much water is worse than too
little.
Rather than sprinkle constantly
during seasons of drought, try shall
low cultivation with a steel rake
around the plants instead.
This is what horticulturists call
| dry soil mulch. 1t prevents the
| escape of moisture in the ground.
Sprinkling, during spring and fall,
should be done in the morning that
the foliage may be dry before the
cold of night comes.
Summer watering should be done
in the evening that the moisture may
not be evaporated by the sun.
1t is only necessary to moistcn the
| soil. Don't soak it.
Also, remember that wet foliage
on bright days is subject to sun
scald.
Bear in mind that moisture poured
into the soil feeds upward to the
plant roots like wick. in an oil
lamp. = 20 '.'..''
Just because the top surface is dry
is no sign that the plants aren't get
ting plenty Of moisture from be-
meath.
Perhaps the best manner of apply
ing water to crops is to open slight
burrows which have previously been
and allow water to. gently flow
through these miniature bitches.
Frequent light sprinkling is dan
gerous. It is best to thoroughly
soak the garden about once every
week, providing there has been no
rain in the meanwhile.

ROOSEVELT AND TAMERLANE

At cabinet meeting one sunny
afternoon in Washington Roosevelt
appeared distract. Pressed for at
tention by secretary, he exclaim-
ed violently: ITS those Mongols.
| can't get them out of my head" He
had been reading of Tamerlanr.
the man who sought an empire by
destroying all that was in it.
Tamerlane, the ruthless, once
builded monument of 10000
skulls of human beings whom his
warriors had slain. The dimen-
sions of the horrifying shaft have
not been preserved. His hordes
carried death, but not victory, and
though he destroyed much his
realms did not survive fifty years.
Yet the thought of Tamerlane
and his maddened plan of power
read in book was sufficient to
grip the super-cOncentrated Roose-
welt amid a circle of his chosen
heads, when taxes and navies were
being discussed.
In such days as these, when
senate investigators have found
some evil, and now are whirling
their mud as far and wide as their
ladies' will reach the vision of mad
old Tamerlane and his misguided
sense Of conquest perhaps ought
again to be revived.
The indiscriminate sloshing Of
reputation by statesmen who love d
smear has disguised Washington
and the nation. The original pur-
pose has been lost in the high glee
OF reflecting on character and
faith. Such never win victory
and the investigators seeking in
this fashion to plant themselves on
fertile political ground may find
themselves staring blankly only at
the ruin they have achieved.-Al-
bany Knickerbocker Press.

Just think how much money and

A bicycle is the cheapest trans

1t enables the rider to put in big,
pleasant, highly enjoyable summer,
seeing many things he would not
otherwise have the ambition to see,
and to go a thousand and one places

With bicycle one is freed from
long, tiresome walks, and from rid
ing in stuffy. poorly-ventilated street
cars and trolleys. The saving in
carfares soon will pay for a good
bicycle.
A bicycle is simple and easy to
| learn to ride and to keep in good
riding condition. There is very little
about a good one to get out of order.
1t needs no expensive fuel and but
little parking space. It is always
ready when needed.
The doctor says. "If people rode
bicycles more, they wouldn't have so
much need of me-"
The fresh air and the moderate
exercise, of cycling are exactly what
are needed to develop the lungs and
the whole body and to give one ro-
bust health and a clear complexion.

Office workers, business and pro-

Teachers as we'll as school chill
