If the land is somewhat rolling, with fairly good drainage to the lower levels, with the subsoil somewhat porous, the lat- I eral drain can follow the low ground ' with very Rood results. But if the surface is rather flat and of a texture which we commonly call "juerjry," then it will be necessary to run later- als on to the higher ground and from three to four rods apart. j Not only is it of vast importance to have pround well drained in order to get on to it in early spring with the In the neighborhood which is from essentia , th t ^ ft fc , to ^^i about to Belect from lts young wo man- - two to four pounds of clover and eight 01]arWs , . aftnH tllp * ftv condi tion. hood Its nrettieat sDeclmen.

With the result that the ground becomes hard and clammy and the bacterial life, which is so necessary to plant growth, is almost obliterated as a consequence of being covered with water for so long a period. But on the other hand if the water level can be lowered to a depth of about thirty inches the pores of the ground which were formerly filled with water become filled with air as the water recedes, thereby bringing more warmth to the ground and en- couraging and developing bacteria! life.

Mncoun, the Dominion Horti- culturist, says, be found useful: Seed to be sown early in spring beets, carrots, lettuce, onions, pars- nips, peas, radishes, kohl-rabi, garden cress, salsify, spinnch, parsley, and leeks. Seed sown in hotbeds (but plants will stand some frost) cabbage, cauliflower, celery. Seed to be sown after danger of frost is over unless protected beans, corn, cucumbers, melons and squash. Feed of late cabbage is not sown until May, but the plants will endure frostj and seed of Swede turnips should be sown late, though turnips will stand, frost. Where early potatoes are de-j sired, they may be planted even when : there is danger of their being frozen i after they are up, as it has been found j they will come on again after being; frozen, and in plnccs where the se'i-| Ron is short early planting ensures the largest crops. Seed sown in hotbeds (but plants will not stand frost) melons, egg plants, peppers. Ornamental trees and shrubs re- quire tho same car in plnnting ns fruit trees and fruit bushes, and should be set out early for best re- sults. In growing annual flowers for Retting out, it Is important to harden them off, as is the case with vege- tables, if best results are to be ob- tained. There is a great advantage In time of blooming of using plants rather than seed of most annuals but Sweet Alyssum, Esehscholtzia, Poppy, Annual Gypsophila, Portulaca, and others should be sown in the open. Plan to Plant Trees. One of the finest contributions to the community in which we live is; the proper ornamentation of our premises with trees. A tree invari- t ably impresses itaelf as the supreme tribute. The humblest cottage sur-! rounded by stately trees gives out to the passing world the beneficent in- fluence of a pure home life. Every member of the family should be inter- ested and plan to take part in tree- planting this year. I weather comes and the surface drie; out they are in a poor condition to withstand the drouth. Tiled drainage will often pay for it- Relf In one or two seasons. E. G. Storm. Says Sam: Grins keep the face from sagging. Farming is a gamble but efficient methods make it pretty nearly a sure thing. Man must do with his hands what the hen does with her feet if he wants good hatches from the incubator. Turn the eggs daily from the third to the eighteenth day. Three turns a day are not too many.
