The intelligence of the feeder must control the situation. It is more economical to give a small feed of groin at noon than to Muff them with hay.

Drainage taken away surface water rapidly, and keep' the soil water away from the surface, thereby allowing the roots to grow deep and the air to enter the soil and aid in decomposing it. Fertil. ity is another most important feature. The need for fertilizer ia shown by low growth and pale color in the plants. Stable manure, bone meal, or good commercial fertilizer should be used to renew the elements required by the soil. With proper soil treatment. the avenge garden will produce at least a half more than it now does. Several things must. be borne in mind, how- ever, to mnke a success with garden crops, such as onions, potatoes, cab- bage. etc. The soil must be suitable, cultivation must be thorough, varie- tie! the best for the district und the market, and good solosmanship.
