BEANS. • Beans must not be above the ground until all danger of frost is past, as they are extremely tender. May 24 is early enough for their planting. There are great many different varieties of this vegetable, but perhaps the be for the ordinary kitchen garden is a dwarf golden wax. They require far less at- tention than do the pole or meeting vari- ety or the Ulnas, and will, if properly looked after, produce a good crop from amall area. Plant in well-prepared goil.of fair richness. Place rOWs far enough apart to per- mit of cultivation between rows. Let plants stand three or four inches apart in the rows. Shallow cultivation is all that is necessary. This must be care- fully done, as the cutting of the roots will greatly injure plants. • POLE AND LIMAS, Poles four to eight feet long set four feet apart will be eecessary if you choose to grow the runnig kind. Around each polealve to eight beans should be plant - ea at a depth of two inches. Later thin to four plants to each polo and train to climb. Poles should shalt slightly to north. ; Then there is the "bush" lima. These are very good when they do "hush." They don't always do this, however, CORN. Any good ordinary soil, which has been thoroughly and deeply worked, should grow good corn. The 24t1i of May is plenty early enough for the ,planting of corn, as even light frost will injure it if above the ground. For gar- den culture planting in hills is the usual method. Hills should be a good pace apart, and, after thinning, three or tour plants to. each hill. PLANTING CORN. Stretch line. Start by scooping out hielow three or four inehes Steep, and a foot in diameter. Stepping into Ole and facing direction in which line is running, plaee end of hoe handle against right hip, allowing other end of hoe to fall forward to the ground. Dig second hole where hoe plade strikes. Stepping into second hole, repeat, and so on down the line until the end is reached. By the mune means you can easily measure the distance when line is to be started. Af- ter the required number of holes have been scooped out place a light sprint:- Mg of well rotted manure in'the bottom of each hole, over this sprinkle a little of earth. 'Now place eight or -ten seeds In hole, we;1 distributed over sullen, and fill to level. In arranging bills the following is a good method: First row 0 0 0 0 Second row 0 • 0 0 Third r''v 0 0 0 0 And so on. THINNING OUT. After corn has grown to‘ three or four inches in height, thin to three or four of the best to each hill.

CUCUMBERS. A few square yards of reasonably gooa soil is all that is enquired to produce a family's supply of cucum- bers for the season.

Where a bed -or window box is to be placed on the shady side of the house, there is nothing whieh will provide a more beautiful display early in the summer than the tuberous root- ed begonia. Use well -rotted manure in preparing soil, and leaf mould if obtainable. Plant as soon as frost dang- er is over, and keep moist. Don't let ground become sour from over -water - Imre Colors of bloom are pink, scarlet, white, yellow and mixed - ANN 12ALS. • Annuals, so& as Coreopsis, Hele- chrysum, Cosmos, four-o'elocks, petu- nias, etc., which may be grown from seed, are useful to fill in bare apots in perennial borders or beds or for an-, nual beds. These may be planteeVearly. Ilignovette, candytuft, Alyssum (bor- der plants) should be planted as soon as the ground is ready. CLIMBERS. As morning glories, nasturtiums, scar - Jet runners, to., are uot so hardy, and may easily be destroyed by frost. Their planting should be delayed until such danger is well over. POPPIES. Poppies of the different varieties, sueh as Oriental and Celifornia, are easily grown, and when in bloom pro- duce a most _gorgeous effect, Unfortun- ately the blooming period of these is short, andthe be.% presents a rather unsightey appearance afterwards. It is best, therefore, to plant poppies in cluinps where their removal after they are through blooming will not be so no- ticeable. ASTERS. There are few annual flowers more worthy of a 'place in the gardeu than the aster. It is easily grown, blooms Early aud late (two .varieties), pro- duces a magnifieent Inoem in various colors, and is also among the best flowers .for cutting purposes that it 13 possible to obtain. What more could elented in the open in April or early in May. Good, rieh, well prepared anybody ask? Asters may be grown from seed ground in a fairly sheltered plate is best for geed. bed, Sow in rows a few inches apart. Sow fairly thick. Cover lightly and smooth, and press clown surfaee of hod Transplant aa soon as suffieiently grown to permanent quar- ters. Early mixture and late branch- ing should both be grown. If you prefer keeping different colors separ- ate, select your seed accordingly. Shell pink should not be omitted. ONIONS. Onions are grown from sets • And seeds—sets for medium crop, seed for main crop. Plant seeds as early as possible. Sets being liable t� injury from frost, may be left until latter part of month. Eighteen inches between rows gives one room, to eiworlc nicely. Plant sets at least fuer Inches apart in rows, Seed must be sown thickly. If maggots don't see to the thinning you can easily do it yourself. "Trit. LODI) WALKED IN THE GAR- DEN," CAUGIIT BY FENIAN& Interesting 8tory of the Raid of 45 Years Age.

ME BRIGHTEST DAY FOR EVERY WOMAN Comes ° With Good Health Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Her brightest day for every girl and every woman Is the day when sue looks well, feels well and is Veil, but with most of the fair sex such days are..rare. Instead they suffer from a painful lan- guor' . have a terrible weakness in the back, headaches that make everything seem blurred, and a eettieless aching in the limbs. These and other trials afflict girls and women through the lack of rich, red blood nature is calling for. Dr. Pink Pills have given the joy of real robust health to thobsands of wpmen who are happy to -day because these pills aetually make the rich, red blood. that makes weak ones well and strong. This statement has been proven over and over again. Here is fiutlier proof from Mrs. 0. J.

I had a heavy rural school, with a large atendanee, and consequently a huge number of grades, thus 1 found the work a great nervous strain. This added to the overwork of study, previous to teaching, soon resulted in a "run down" condition. When vacation time came J. did not pay much attention to My con- dition, its I thought the holidays would fully restore me, but as I resumed work again.' soon found this was not the case. One morning, when I came to breakfast everything reeled before me, and 1 almost fainted away. The lidy with whom 1 was boarding advised me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She always spoke very highly of them, her daughter hav- ing used teem with the moat beneficial results following a severe attack of in- flammatory rheumatism. 1 decided to take her adviee, and had only taken a few boxes when I began to improve In health—And such an appetite as I had. I rapidly gained health, my face had a healthy glow, and I gained in weight. I have since often recommended Dr. Wie Hattie' Pink Pills to others, Who have us- ed them with equally beneficial results, and I lelleve the Pills to be a sta,ndard remedy for the ills for which you room - Mend them."

Every mother dreams of great things foe he child. Never yet die any mother bend over her sleeping ehild but she dreamed dreams of strength ce manhood, of largeness of ettainment, oi some uniqueness of effort. Ever has come to her maternal sight the fair vi- sion of a life strong, noble, helpful; good. No eloud of doubt has ever crossed thc lair sky �f her radiant dream. No one can rightly compute the subtle influence of the motheref aspiration foi good and greatnesa in ler ehtLd. it is a very font of evolutions stimulating to di- viner things. It is not in the power of human mind to reckon the good that has come to the world by the *wishing of mother -love. if mother -love could but have the will- ing as welt, we might safely prophesy a speedy evolutionary culmination. leut other influences have crept in, destroy- ing the possibility of fulfilment. And with the removal of these, is to be found our best observance of Mothers' Day; The greatest tragedy of human life is the throwing of a mother's child, cher- islied and eared for and planned for with infinite tenderness and devotion, into thr maelstrom of the modern- world, to he teased about like a chip upon an angry sea, and to often cast high open thy barren sands of failure. There is no greater descent than thai from the mte ther's arms to the ignoble clay. It is impossible to regard a wested or a ruined life without memory or vi - sten of the mother standing dimly be- hind it. One cannot forget the fact of all her dreaming and prophetic ecstasy. And one cannot viesv such ruin without glimpsing these ruined hopes as well. This', then, must be our task ---to give to every child the chance to realize the wish and dream of the mother; to give to every mother the eare-free environ- ment wherein alle shall dream highest and noblest dreams -of success and at- tainment and goodness for her child) to give to every home the assurance of, safety and comfort whereby. mother -love shall be itble to exercise most fully the ptivilege.e of willing good to het Oil& - SORTIES. mre.

But what about the consequences of the sin, What about the consequences of my sin in myself, and the results of it diffused abroad, there where I can see them, and yonder where I cans not see them?
