Scatter this seed over the surface of the patch where the early po'tttr'es have been dug, early cab- lm'ro wt or ether early crops taken on.

Let it stand over winter and turn it under when the garden is dug or plowed in the spring. T It may possibly be that the soil is slightly sour. This Would result from a heavy trapping of laden truck or from bad drainage. It is most likely to occur on very heavy clay soils, or on light sandy soils. If it occurs on light sandy soils it is fairly likely to be the result of the lime leaching out of the soil. Of course the cure is to add lime. This can be purchased in several forms. such as ground limestone. marl or air-slated burnt lime. If purchased in the form of errand limestone it is highly trotef1/ {rabbi up by the crop.

Numerous charming stories of dr’y-lend farmers occasionally lead home gardeners to wonder why in I dry season their gardens will not pro- duce satisfactory results. The rea- son is that the garden crops are not dry-land crops; garden crops are of such a nature that they require an enormous amount of water in order, to meet their daily needs. Some idea of the large quantity of water that is necessary will be gathered (roam the reports of leeestittators who say; that for every pound of dry matter in; garden truck that is harvested, " least 500 lbs. of water is renulred,) during the growing season of the: crop, A lame amount of this water; can be stored up by’ early proper; working of the soil. In hundreds of. h-cvs there is cquirment for aprink-' '5"? th:, garden. When the garden in: tharcughly sprinkled you mun: no] member that beside adding water for For garden cane-fruit, such as rasp- berries, gooseberries, and currents, a handful of fertilizer scattered around the roots of the growing bushes will greatly help, up to the time of the setting of the fruit. It 'will result in a larger setting of fruit and pro- duct of better quality. For the gar- den apple tree, cherry trees, plums, ete., gutter about 6 to 10 lbs. of fertilizer per tree in a circle reach- ine out from the tree about as far as the branches extend. A similiar treatment of the fertil- ity question for the Bower garden will he found to give exceedingly good results. Some gardeners are in the habit of using a considerable am- ount of nitrate of soda, which is one of the important carriers of nitrogen or ammonia in fertilizers. This is an exceedingly soluble hence rapidly available plantfood. It supplies the kind of plantfood that causes the growth of leaves, and stalk and de- lays the ripening of the crop, hence the amateur gardener, if he uses ni- trate of soda, should be careful not to overdo the dose which he applies to the crop, else he will send the crop all to stalk as in the case of tomatoes too heavily fertilized with' nitrogen carriers. and will .truffer through the small yield of fruit which results. The prolonging of the grow-l ing season also will delay the ripemi mg. When setting out cabbage, toma- toes or when planting potatoes, or corn, drop a small handful of fertil- izer into the hole that is opened to receive the potato piece or plant. Mix this fertilizer with the soil before the semi piece or plant is set. A side-: dressing of these growing crops will, help a great deal also. i . . - '~-"-"'"‘l '25 x 40 feet that you are Working, and rake it thoroughly into the soil. When you are planting the seed crops such as pens. beans, beets, etc., when you open the drills scatter a light dressing of fertilizer into the drill and cover it lightly with soil just before you drop the seed, and proceed as usual. The point is to avoid dropping the seed on top of fertilizers. I have obtained good re-l. sults by making second and third or! plications of fertilizer during the growing season. That is, when the' beets, carrots. beans, etc., are grow: ine I scatter a iight application of; fertilizer between the rowa just be-) fore I cultivate the second, fourth and, sixth time. This provides 'yitiitiontt1; available food for the growing cropsl and greatly hastens their growth. ., the. t, ”unto. , order In ‘ mention where tre. Izddreued Ill-IV” A".

For He has raised us into.this new life with Christ for this very purpose, "to display throughout ages to come his aux-pasting wealth of grace and ttood- ness toward us in Christ Jesus." We are saved by grace, and we are saved in hope, and it is indeed a very splen- did and glorious hope we have in our relationship to God through Jesus Christ. We shall be like Christ.

It is taking Him as our Leader and eonseeratinq fourselves in sworn allegiance to Him. _And it is more than following, and more than serving: it is also sitting together with Him "in Heavenly _ places." For the man who is thus transform- ed and renewed in heart and mind is no longer occupied solely with getting along in the world and enjoying its pleasures. He is seeking first "the kingdom cf God and his righteous- ness."
