Laying Out the Farm Garden.
One of the important features of a
irell-regulated farm ia a good kitchen
garden of ample proportions. It
should be carefully cultivated, and
should contain a tmllkient variety of
vegetables to Bupply the farmer's
table, early and late, with an abun
dance of the best the season affords.
With such a source of supply at
command womankind would lind no
difficulty and much satisfaction in
presenting wholesome and palatable
dishes for the family consumption,
with less ainountvof meat than would
otherwise be required a distinct pain,
in point of healthfulness, especially
when the meat, as is too often the
case, is fat pork.
In order that the kitchen garden
may bo what we have described it,
and be easily and economically culti
vated, it should be laid out in such a
way that the greater part of the work
can be done by horse power.
A small inclosure, hopelessly run to
weeds, and containing nothing really
worth attention, is not what we con
template, but a large ar.a, propor
tioned to the needs of the family (and
not without a "weather eye" to the
sale of fresh "gardon sass" to less fav
ored neighbors), of the best land the
farm affords not too far away, how
ever., from the house.
This space should be well manured
and brought by repeated working to
llie finest possible tilth. It should
not be thought a waste to put the
best manure, and plenty of it, on this
land, for it will return good interest
in one shape or another. Then lay it
out in long rows, as straight as they
can be made, and of varying widths,
according to the habit of growth of
the plants.
A plwi which lies before us, has been
carefully thought out, and may
serve as an indication (subject, of
course, to modification according to
taste) of how such a plot should le
divided up. The part assigned to
vegetables is four rous wide, and as
'long as may be desired. Around throe
sides is a wall or turning ground eight
.feet wide. This may be graveled or
as we have seen it sodded; or winter
sqimslies might be planted in a part
or all of the space without seriously
interfering with the cultivation. '
On the fourth side is a row, five feet
wide, of asparagus, artichokes and
rhubarb. Then follow, in successive
rows: 1. Parsnip, salsify and early
peas, followed by winter spinach, 5
leet; 2. Peas, 3 feet; 3. Early potatoes,
followed by celery, 3 feet; 4. Early
lettuce, etc., from hot bed, radish,
press, mustard, followed by turnip, 3
feet;. 5. Onions, 1 feet; 6. Lettuce,
endive, parsley, sweet herbs, 1 ft.; 7.
Bush beans, 2f t.; 8. Beets and turnips
2 feet; 9. Early cabbage and cauli
flower, 2 feet; 10. late cabbage, 3
feejt; 11. Early sweet corn, 3 feet;
12. Ite sweet corn and summer
squash, 4 feet; 13. Tomatoes and pole
beans. 5 feet; 14. Cucumbers and
musk-melons, 0, feet; 15. Watermelon
and winter squash, 8 feet.
To this we should add, for localities
as far north as it can bo grown, the
dwarf okra, excellent for sonp, and
the common nasturtium for pickles.
In another plot there should be all
the varieties of berries, currants and
grapes, and of course, plantations of
cherry, plum, pear, peach, and apple
trees. None of these should be in the
vegetable garden, as they would in
terfere with cultivation and give too
much shade.
With such a garden nnd such sup
plies of fruit the farmer's table could
be, with care in cooking and with
abundance of milk, cream, fresh but
ler, etc., made as attractive as a Del
monico spread, and a great deal more
wholesome.
More Than Hard Work Necessary,
The men who make the most
money on the farm are not, generally,
the ones who work hardest, or who
put in the most hours in the field.
There is more than .hard work that
influences for success on the farm. It
is not necessary that the farmer
should be a slave to drudgery and
hard labor. Neither is it necessary
for him to make himself the biggest
hog on the farm. Intelligence, with a
knowledge of how to manage, counts
for more on the farm than with any
other class of labor. The greatest
reason of failure on the farm may be
traced to ignorance of how to plan
and manage properly the farm opera
tions. The next prevailing source of
dissatisfaction grows out ot laziness,
and it is so closely related to its leader
that they are often hard to distin
guish one from the other.
Life, enercv and ambition are neces
sary properties in the make-up of the
farmer. Such a person will see the
importance, of system nnd will pro
ceed to arrange a place for everything
and see that itis.in its place when not
in use. lie will have a time to go to
work and a time to quit; a time to
feed and a time to water; in short,
everything will lie systematized in a
way to accomplish the most in the
least number of hours. The social
features of life will not be neglected
and the family will share a portion of
his time. The long winter evenings
will be spent in reading and discussing
subjects ot interest to farm ana house
hold, as well as learning something of
what is going on all over the world.
There is no business that affords
better opportunities forcultivating ir
regular hours and running fifteen
hours into a day's work than farm
ing, if permitted to be prosecuted
without a system. The disposition
to freed is almost sure to follow this
plan of farm management, and man
t hen practically places himself a rival
with the laggest hon on the farm and
surrenders all prospects and advan
tages for enjoyment to the one abject,
that of accumulating wealth. Such
farmers are neither a credit nor an
advantage to any community .-Omaha
World-Herald.
The Profitable Hen,
The profitablohen may be a Brahma,
Cochin, Plymouth Rock, Iieghorn,
Hamburg, or any other of the good
breeds.. On the other hand, the
Brahma, the Cochin, Plymouth Rock,
Leghorn, Hamburg, or a hen of any
of the good breeds, may be a n . un
profitable on. Flirt, thebrwdn, and
thea the care. In selecting the breed
to obtain the Krentst profit, the
climate is a matter of importance; it
the climate is cold, the Iieghorn and
Hsmburg would not be the profitable
selection; then again the purpose for
which they are raised is a matter of
importance. If it is for market we
wish to breed poultry, the Ham
burg would be unprofitable, oreventhe
Leghorn unless it be used to cross with
some larger breed, says Western Poul
try Breeder. Havins selected the breed
to suit the climate and purpose, the
next consideration is the care; this
matter of care extends over a period
which includes the mating, gathering
and selection of eggs; incubation, rear
ing, and keeping after muturity if
kept tor market, egg or breeding pur
poses. As a pre-reqtiisite to the rais
ing of the profitable hen, the proper
mating of only vigorous parents is of
great importance. The imbecile hen
is not profitable. The eggs must not
become chilled nor be old when usl
for incubation, or else the vigor of the
forthcoming hen will be impaired
Use only fresh eggs. The young chick
must le kept dry nnd warm or its
vigor will bo lessened. The food must
be varied. Provide pure water and
plenty of sharp grit, in order that the
chick be kept vigorously growing until
it reaches maturity. Tub hen thus
reared and properly cared for is the
prolitable hen.
Repairing Fences.
Among the first items of farm work
that usually have attention in the
spring is the building or repairing of
fences. Our own p!au is to attend to
this in the fall, so that there will be
no possibility of its interfering with
work that has to do directly with the
production of crops. We do not in
tend now, however, to discuss the best
time for doing that work, but to ask
whether so much of it is really neces
sary. About the heaviest tax we have
to pay on our own farms " in
the way of an expenditure
that brings nothing back is
the labor and material employed
in fence-building; but we have got 60
accustomed to cutting our farms up
into little fields that it is hard to
overcome the practice. We ste
adjacent fields grown to corn and
wheat and meadow, with strong fences
between them, as if the owner was
afraid that one crop would enereach
on the territory of the other. The
theory is, we believe, that he mijy
want to pasture one of the fields at a
season when there is a standing crop
in another, but if he does so the
chances are very much against his
getting value enough, from it to pay
for maintaining the fences. Then
there is the waste land of the fenco
row no small item, and the fence row
is very apt to be a harbor for weeds,
and time is required to keep them
down that ought to be given to the
cultivation of crops. These things
may have all been said before, but we
want to oring them fresh to your
mind just now, so that before you re
build those fences you may stop and
ask yourself if they can not better be
wholly dispensed with. Some day wo
shall get to the point of keeping our
cattle up, to the greater economy
both of land and feed, and then we
shall bo able to do away with our
fences wholly. Philadelphia Inquirer.
About Poultry.
Poultry in health need no medica
tion. Patent nostrums sold as "egg
food "condition powders," etc., to be
fed to poultry to make them more
prolific, are humbugs. "The whole
need not aphysician, but they that are
sick," is as time of fowls as of men.
Healthy fowls need to hp kept healthy
and the only way to do that is to
feed them wholesome food, wholesome
water, and protect them from inclem
ent weather. All medicine is foreign
to the digestive apparatus of healthy
creatures. Tho surroundings may De
sickly and need medical treatment.
Filthy houses, nests and runs should
be purged by mechanical means, alter
ed with disinfectants, and toned with
tonics. Or, ' what" amounts to tho
same in English, clean up with rake
and hoe, burn with fire, whitewash
with lime and sprinkle with carbolic
acid or sulphuric acid, fumigate with
brimstoue, and cease not until every
thing is pure and sweet; then keep
them so. These are the prime condi
tions of health in the poultry yard.
Texas Farm and Range.
Valuable Hints.
Small turkeys sell better than tho
larger carcasses. It nequires about a
year and a half to produce a twenty-five-pound
gobbler, hence the large
birds are not as tender as those that
are smaller.
Good shelter during the winter
means that less gram will bo needed.
It is cheaper to keep up the animal
from the outside than from the inside.
When cold, cattle burn feed for fuel.
Then they make no gain upon it.
Tho experiment of burning old
strawberry beds over while theground
is frozen has given good results to
those who have practiced it. The
plants come out thick and strong in
the spring, and some growers main
tain that it is equivalent to having a
new bed of young plants.
It does not pay to feed potatoes to
stock unless they are very low in price.
In proportion to the amount of solid
matter in potatoes they being com
posed mostly of wates they are ex
pensive, and should only besubstitut
ed for grain as an article of diet in
promoting the condition of animala
by a change of food.
The best way to prevent sheep from
getting cockleburs in their wool is to
kill the weeds before they product
burs.
Texas sheep raisers can produce
mutton cheaper than those of any
other state, and can compete with thf
best in wool.
The old practice of feeding a farrow
cow everything she will eat to fatten
her, and milking her until she ia sold,
is a good one t hat might be followed
with profit by many a family now go
ing without milk.
THE ALLIANCE.
The Industrial World: Value is an
ides, not a pro property of eub
aUioces, Tho greater the facility for
expressing the ides in tangible .nape
the better for the happiness of the
people.
The Southern Alliance: The Alli
ance is gaining ground ia every state
In . tho Union. As the people read and
become acquainted with the pluto
cratic methods which are in vogue for
the purpose of robbing labor of that
which it produces, they denounce the
corruption aud join ilh the AUiauca
ia the great worn ot reform.
Tho Springer Banner: There is no
question in which the people arouiore
deeply concerned than in the question
of taxation. Every citizen .feels, or
ought to foci that it is his duty to
contribute so much of his substance,
so much of that which ho owns, so
much of that which belongs to him,
to tho support of tho government as is
essential for its economical and hon
est administration. Ito also fools, or
ought to feci, that any claim that ho
should contribute mora than this is
unjust and that nuy law requiring
hiin to do so is oppressive. Ihe
powor to take from tho citizen any
port ot that which is his own without
pecuniary compensation and without
his consent is only accorded to the
states, and whoro civilization nnd en
lighlcnod liberty ovist tho state itself
is permitted to take so much, and so
much only, as is necessary to pay tho
debts and provldo for tho comtnou de-
fouse and welfare of the country.
The Mcssongcr: Tho study of tho
principles of olitical economy has
not been taken up by tho farmers of
tho United States as a pastime. It is
not a passing whim that has been
culled to their attention by accident.
In formor times whon a people wero
oppressed beyond endurance by tho
demands of their moneyed masters,
they aroso in frenzy and stamped them
out of existence with fire and sword.
Or, not having the courage to do thin,
ceased effort, and turned vagrants
until tho nation in its weakness was
overrun by a foreign invader, to whom
they gave their services as slavos.
But in this day of enlightenment no
such barbaric measures aro necessary.
Tho people being oppressed with pov
erty, apply themselves to 6tudy tho
causes, aud when understood, go to
work to removo them. Violence is
the weapon of ignorance, the ballot
the recourse of the intelligent The
people of the United States proposo
to uso it to their own salvution.
The Monheira Sun: Every reform
that has over been inaugurated in tho
history of the world has met with vi
olent opposition on tho part of some,
who, through prejudice or some other
cause, wore found arrayed against the
promulgation of any theory that was
considered a departure from estab
lished rules or custom. This has been
the caso in religious matters especial
ly, and the same state of affairs ex
isted in temporal things as well.
Every man and woman familiar with
history knows that, this has been tho
caso from tho begioning of the Chris
tian era, if not from tho beginning of
the world. It seems strango that a
similar stato of affairs should exist in
this enlightened age, but such is
nevertheless the caso The same spirit
that existed in people in tho early
centuries finds placo in thoir minds
now, which fact is clearly and plainly
demonstrated by the unreasonable
manifestations of opposition that are
presented upon the advent of any re
form movement in tho social or indus
trial system.
What This (entnry Gives lis.
It gives us men whose solo purpose
in life is either money getting, or
pleasure; it gives us hard, hypocritic
ul, smooth, smiling knaves, who can
without a twinge of conscience, rob
widows and orphans; it gives us weak,
indolent, corrupt young men, devoid
of a single noble impulse, who. as
parasites, infest social lite in tbeir in
satiate love of ease and bodily pleas
ure; it. gives us rocues and gamblers,
men who trade upon the necessities of
the poor and weak; it gives us in all
our large cities arniios of fallen wo
men, from whom every vestige of
purity has departed, and who sell
ihemsolves body and soul to minister
to tho depraved appetites of men; it
gives us a still larger army of women,
who herd in doss callod rooms, and
who live on the dregs of life,
and into whoso existenoo a ray of the
sunlight of hopo or happiness never
enters. There are the sowing women
of these great cities. It gives us little
children with deformed minds and
bodies, chained to the task of feeding
and tending the iron mechanism of
trade. It gives us, in one word, pov
erty, that reaches from ono part of
tho civilization to tho other; andjiaa
outworked itself in thesa terrible
loathsome, forms of social life. For
there Is a more deadly poverty than
that which General Booth in his
-Darkest Days of England" describes.
It is the poverty of the soul from
which all that is great and good and
noble and heroic has departed; of a
life barren of right results. And this
is what the nineteenth century, with
all ifs inventions, scientific discoveries
and iutelleotual progress has given us.
Tho poverty, suffariag. and physical
and moral degradation of tho people
are tho witnesses, tho visible expres
sion of tho deeper and blacker poverty
of soul that nearly everywhere exists.
It is time that the angoi of discontent
stirred the stagnant waters of social
life; it is timo that the Johu the Bap
tist of a now social order preached in
tho wilderness of human affairs that
thoro is something higher, something
nobler than money getting, eating
and drinking, and their train of sen
sual pleasures. L C Fales in the
