Cov In the garden one aniigd utilize for second and even third. crops the beds in which early peas, beans, ra- dishes and lettuce were grown. The same is true of the early sweet corn. It is advisable not to plant the same article twice in the same spot in succession, but rotate the products, = same as in field rotation of cro A well prepared seed bed at each planting is almost essential, and a sprinkling of fine, rich manure will prove very beneficial to the growing plants and in maintaining eoil fer- tility. Sow oats as early as possible in the spring, mow them few days in advance of the time they would be reaped for the grain: remove them from the field as soon as they are sufficiently cured and stack well for future feeding pur- put as many teams in the field as can be spared. Stir the i a quickly and thoroughly im- iately sowing it to millet. Usually, the millet may be mown and stacked early in September and the field hurriedly cultivated and sown to rye, which will make excel- lent pasturage at a time when is most need wheat or rye fields may be utilized in the same manner, an eing somewhat earlier, is better adapted to growing double crops than the oats stubble. The potato patch may be made to double its profits by sowing it to millet, cane or kaffir corn after it has been laid by. Sowing the ground to some other product also wields the beneficial influence o eeping down the weed pests which always bob up after you stop plow- ing the potato vines and which, where unmolested, furnish millions of seeds for propagating a rank and troublesome growth of weeds the next season, beside he]ping to drain the-soil of its fertility.

If the tent caterpillar pitches its home:-in your orchard, remember that its flock is gathered together in the home at night. the members go- ing forth by day to look for food. A torch applied to the home evenings or early mornings catches the worm in quantities. If in midsummer you find a bunch of brown worms with red markings clustered on the trunk of a walnut on apple tree do not be alarmed, but get busy. Like the swarm of bees they will not hang there many hours for they are only molting. By the next day the old skins alone will be left to tell the story, while the larvae, each in a bright, new coat, will be scattered over the tree, rapidly denuding it of its leaves.

Every Belgian Trained to With- stand German Aggression. Belgium, with a German peril very much like that under whi Britain has been laboring, has grad- ually been preparing for the great struggle that has now arrive ac- cording to Mr. Isidore Freedman, of Antwerp, who is in Toronto at present. "Up to five years ago,"' said Mr. Freedman, "it was only the poor man--the peasant--who became @ soldier, and the Belgian army at that time numbered only 30,000.' Then the military laws were chang- ed and every family had to give a son. Last year, there was a Father change and now every man has to serve. In this way the Belgian reg-' ular aoe has been increased to 100 Besides these, however, there is a strong militia y. In times of war we can place in the field 250 000 men, every one of whom is conver- sant with the use of the rifle." Mr. Freedman has been in a state of considerable anxiety concerning his parents, but this morning his fears were set at rest by the receipt aba cable 3 announcing their safe ar- rival in Englan Of six brothers, three are naturalized Englishmen and two of the other three are serv- ing in the Belgian army. The third, a lad of seventeen, is about to en- list. One brother is in the 7th Bel- ian Regiment of the line, and an- other left Toronto three months ago to enlist. "Belgium has been training for this conflict for years," declared Mr. Freedman. "Otherwise, - why should she have paid so much atten- tion to the aggrandizement of her ar rmy ?' 'Germany,' ' he said, "threaten- ed to take away the Congo from us if we did not at once allow her troops to devastate our country. The stand that Belgium has taken will long be remembered, no matter what happens to-her. . "If the invaders succeed in. tak- ai Liege iately, it- will . be nly if ee are five to our one. We are fighting for a cause, and the Germans know they are fighting just because the Kaiser is a war lord and wants to be another Fred- erick.the Great. If Liege falls the Belgians will put up an even stouter resistance at Namur and Huy. One has to live in Belgium* to under- stand the proud spirit of the Bel- beaten, but only in the long run. There is no use d I think the German fleet will avoid battle as long as possible, because epends on its success or "England was wise in not waiting until Germany had got France and Belgium out of the way.
