[ the soil is lumpy, roll and harrow | it after cultivating, then plank it. This will leave the surface perfectly level. The sowing is, therefore, eag- | ier, and permits making the rows straight. Straight rows always look much better and tend to glve um greater pride in our garden. To grow fine quality vegetables we must have high fertility, much higher than is comimon in most farm gar= dens. The use, then, of manure, well rotted, if possible, at the rate of from twenty-five to fifty tons per acre each fall, will aid in obtaining this high fertility in our gardens. All the hen manure should be saved separately, to be used during the planting season on certain crops, as this is much too valuable a fertilizer to be used like cow or horse manure. Where there is a lack of barnyard | manure because of the need of the field crops, a certain amount of com- | mercial fertilizer may be used to take its place, Potash may be obtained in | the form of sulphate or muriate of potash, and should be used at the] rate of 200 to 250 pounds per acre. Phosphoric acid in the form of super= phosphate, bonemeal, or,_ on light sandy soil, lacking in lime, in the form of basic slag, is applied at the rate of 400 pounds per acre. Nitro- gen is generally applied in the form of nitrate of soda. Because it very | quickly disappears from the soil in| the drainage water, it is generally | used on the growing plants, 100 to 150 pounds per acre being sufficient; if put on twice, 50 to 75 pounds each | : | time, during the growing season. : You may buy a complete fertilizer | from some fertilizer firm or seeds- man, which will give good results. As many of our best vegetables | i come originally from tropical coun- tries where the season of growth is much longer than ours, we must use some means to give them this longer : growing period. This can best be i 'done by using hotbeds and cold 1 'frames. Many will say that it is eas ler to buy from a greenhouse man, : No doubt this is so, but we miss 'much of the pleasure of gardening £ ! by- so doing, and if a fair amount of | | care is used we can grow a plant ; which will give us as good, if not Enotter results. Those who do not wish to construct a hotbed may grow to- : matoes and early cabbage plants in i tin eans or berry hoxes in a south t window as they would a house plant. {Tf we use tomato cans the solder should he melted from the seams, the can being afterwards tied up with a string.--A.
