ro | Cultivation for Peas Peas whether of the flower or vege- table sort require very deep cultiva- tion. The plants thrive in cool soil, and this deep cultivation allows the roots to to a iderabl depth away from the hot soil at the top. With April nearly over it is time to think about getting in the ear- Mer types in the vegetable line. The first of these will be the round-podded sorts whieh will stand slightly more frost than the finer quality wrinkled peas. Except for a very few early rows, which will not be any great loss it they are destroyed, It Is wise to delay planting until the cold, damp |. weather {s over, as the seed is liable 0 tot In the ground. In the very small garden peas are hardly practi- eal as they take up more room in portion to results - than such tables as carrots, beans, or beets. # only out of & nearby garden, ho ever, that one will get frst-dlass quality, as peas lose their flavor very quickly after being picked. On this socount they are often given room Ram hie even where space is Ii d. The elimbing types, supported on brush or " ahicken wire, will give the largest yields for the space occupied, but less trouble will be experienced in grow- dng the dwarf types in double rows which do not require support. Gar- deners are advised to make sowings of peas every week beginning with the earlier sorts to prolong the sea- son. This vegetable like all others must be grown quickly to get high quality and2 on this account will benefit from quckly acting fertilizers such as nitrate of soda at the rate of a scant ounce per square yard of sofl, and regular cultivation is also essen- {tal to hasten growth. Planting Trees and Shrubbery Fruit and ornamental trees, shrub- bery and rose bushes are planted as soon as the ground is dry enough to dig.

Of want to tell ye that poor Uncle Dan doied very suddint after a long and serious illness. He laid for many days quiet and spache- 'less all the tolme asking for water with a little whiskey, The doctor tells me he doled through illness, but, Mickey, me bhoy, between ourselves, stoppage of the heart was the cause of his death. He was eighty-five years of age last March, all but fifteen months, and had he lived till now he would have been dead a fortnight.

Once the soil loses the moisture of early spring and the hot dry winds commence, a much larger proportion of plants is likely to die] "than it planted earlier. Care of the Soll Serfous harm will result if one rushes the season and gets into the garden too early. On lay soll parti cularly there is grave danger of pud- dling the earth and causing it to bake. When this happens--the result of working the clay when still damp-- . the soil will never work up nicely that season. When the sofl crumbles after being squeezed between the hand it is ready for the spade or plow and not before. If the soil is af very heavy clay loosen up by digging " in plenty of strawy manure, leaves, _ waste garden material or even a light) dressing of coal ashes. If very light, the Incorporation of humius--decayed| vegetable matter--is advisable, For certain types of flower and most vege: tables too, for that matter, tile drain- age should be provided in heavy clay "7 5 eolls, and it may be neecssary where an expensive rose garden is to be lald out to place a layer of gravel a foot beneath the surface, the cutting of teeth easy. Thousands of mothers use no other | medicine for their little ones. Among them is Mrs. J. H.

I would not be without the Tablets and would also lke your little booklet Care of the Baby in Health and Sickness."

The trained eye can detect in the 1 of D and maga- sines much that is apparently mews but is really advertisement. The late O. EH. Montague recorded that during the War many things that wevld have been regarded as "unsport- ing" at the beginning became the re- gular practice later on. A similar deterioration seems ta dave taken place tn this matter of self-advertise- ment. Much that would have been re- garded as. gross and ungentlemanly by fathers seems to have become the common usage of to-day.

English- men of the war generation will never forget the debt they owe to his genius, And in military history his place as the war-winner among war-winners is definitely assured."--Daily News. "Marshal Foch is the second figure of the World War, The first is, and always will be, the 'Unknown Soldier.' And perhaps it is the fairest comment. ary on Foch, as soldier, that he will always remain second to this myriad unknown."--RBirmingham Post. "There can be little doubt that Mar- shal Foch was the greatest soldier of the war, The theories which he held and preached in time of peace were Justified in practice, and all that, as Professor of the Ecole de Guerre, he had urged on the young soldier prov- ed to be the essential doctrine in modern warfare," says the Yorkshire Post, and all the tributes to his mem- ory bear testimony that of the great military figures he stands out pre- eminent. This admission does not lessen the British regard and appreciation of the late Lord Haig, but when the "unified command" was agreed to, the fact that Foch was made the head of the combined forces gave him first place in his lifetime, and it is not lkely to be taken from him by historians now that he is dead. As the Times says: The Inevitable Commander "It was Foch, the Frenchman, who was the ordained ,the inevitable com- mander. The German break-through was the German undoing. It er mobilized the trenchdmprisoned armies it had gone near to shattering, and it freed trench-ridden minds. Above all, it liberated the aggressive genuis of Foch. He was the man for his opportunity. It was given to him 80 save the Allied cause, and he saved it. "What soldier could ask a more magnificent epitaph? No soldier of his day had a higher intellectual concep- tion of the conduct of war. His practice, like his teaching, was & model--from the classic mould of the Latin mind--of logic and of fervour. "He not only believed in the "im- ponderables' ah the arbiters of war. He embodied them--the will, the self- fid , the jonat tra: tion upon mastery of the enemy com- mander's mind. They were felt throughout his own command. They were felt, as German memoirs have testified, among the enemy. "The doctrine of the attack at all cost had some crudu practitioners and some disastrous illustrations. It was susceptible of modification by nud, barbed wire, concrete, and ma- chine-guns. But there has been In military history no clearer, no more consistent, and, in the end, mo more triumphant exponent of the weight of moral fators.in battle than the. soldier of genius, the simple, chivalrous gentleman whose memory France and England proudly and sadly salute and honor to-day." > "Foch. 1s. no. more," says the Morn- ing Post.
