Notes of The Farm.

The only really successful garden Is the clean garden. Turnips as a second crop more than pay for the time and work pat in on them. Making a good garden is a man’s job. Do not leave the hard work to the women folk. Wild strawberries have a most delicious flavor. They are easily transplanted to the garden. Cauliflower can be grown more easily than cabbage. It is always in demand and at good prices. Do not plant short rows, but let them run the whole length of the garden If need Why not? A handful of grain dug Into an ant-hill will bring the chickens to It, and then—good-by to the Insects. A plant of Swiss chard sown adjoining the poultry yard, will supply greens all summer, provided the fowls are not allowed to eat It more than'an hour a day.
