He can thus move when the work is done at one location' and move to another. SENTIMENT Some say there is too much sen timent in what I write. So I shall presume to hitch my wagon to a kite, And bring down the muses if they can be found, To steady my thoughts some closer aground. The sentimental joy of devotion, to a good and noble cause. May break down individualism and make one pause. And scrutinize his own deep sense of soul. For what profound thoughts, may o'er his spirit roll. It might be sentiment would some, their reason over throw, And sit in judgment on the throne, until the rivers overflow, But let the light of wisdom break upon the scene. And sentiment will gather force to flash upon the screen. The word3 of a mighty potentate would lose their force. And a bombast might harangue, until he is hoarse. Without a little sentiment to rpice specific words, Would be like trying to check droves of stampeded herds. When a storm cloud appears and the lightnings flash, And sentiment falls, with a ter rific crash, Then reason takes flight to the unknown crags, Don't fear the consequences if youare torn into rags. Come, let us take heart, for the time is near, To rise above credulity, even doubts and fear, If sentiment helps to override the tempestuous storm, I feel it my prerogative to mould it into form. J.

The Faxni Vegetable Gardsn. Extension Circular 1211 The Farm Vegetable Garden, contains many worthwhile suggestions and plans for the management of a farm garden adequate for the yearly food needs of the family. The length of daj-, the temperature, nioistura and l soil conditions rather than the age of the plants determine the time when garden vegetables are developed and ready to use. If similar seed is planted at intervals of one week dur ing the spring, the plants from the later planted seeds will tend to catch up with tho.-e from earlier seed, j j These facts make it advisable to plant j I garden vegtable:; in season when the 1 j roll ir, in good condition and the j weather favorable.
