The pretimiaery.,planning of the
garden . arouees the interest of the
children and encourages them to do
their share in cultivating and weed-
ing it. The healthy dutdoor recrea-
tion and the value in training the
children manually and inculcating
habits of industry andeorder is not to
be overlhoked.
Having' decided what is to be plant-
ed, lines -or symbols are drawn on the'
outlined plan to indicate the differ-
ent crops, inserting the date when
each is to be planted. Where a sec-
ond crop -is to follow the same row
or occupy the .same ground, this may
be written in red or blit, which indi-
cates that it is to be planted when an
earlier crop is over. -In laying out
the plan the owner should consider
the aniount of each vegetable -neces-
sary for a serving for the family.
Also hear in mind the habits of the
plants so as to anew space enough be-
tween the rows Inc their proper
growth., for the interplanting of later
crops and for easy cultivation. The
cultivation of course is easiest when:
the rows are 11/2 to 2 feat apart, -as
this permits the use of wheel oniti-1
vetoes. Plants which make a high;
growth and cause heavy shade natur-i
allY should not be located where they.
will interfere with sun loving small,
plants.

The planning may be extended also.

as currants, raspberries and grapes,'
and even to the leeation of apple or

When the Young Calf
Travels.
In many sections it is a common
practice to buy calves two and three
days old for vealing, in winter and
spring. I have found the journey
from one ferns th the other sometimes
injures the calf by chilling it, the re-
sult being scans, and possibly the
loss of the calf later.
When selling a two -day-old Guern-
eey calf last winter, I was afraid that
the new owner was taking a long
chance, Ile solved the problem by
bringing a large-sized sugar barrel.
Some dry straw was put on.. the hot:
tom of the barrel, cia.21 the -calf curled
111) contenteclier-on this straw; and,
protected by the sides of the barrel
and a thick blanket, it made a six
111110 journey through nearly zero'
eveather none the worse for the ex-
perieeee.
Ilea European Termer raises more
weeps to • the acre; -1110 Canadian

this expreeses the diffeeence between

The Welfare of the Houle
A. little child begins by "telling
Mother" everything. Bumps or
bruises, joys or sorrows, all are
brought to her as naturally. as the
child draws breath, and this continues
as bang ashois totally unconscious
of himself as an inclimidual.
The time for special care 'its arisen
he becomes aware of himself as a
separate entity. From this time on,
a cold look, an indifferent aer, am -un-
interested attitude, a word of ridicule
Go' sarcasm may evound the child's
sense of confidence. or justice so deep-
ly that he will shrink evithin himself
and never again show hie inmost
thou'ghts or most sacred feelings to
his mother or to anyone else. In-
calculable harm is clone through
thoughtlessness; even by the meet 71<.
voled parents,j,41failing to recognize
this stage of the child's 'development
and to reverence his "iselivicluality and
his right to At. The mother loses the
greatest power for: good she peseeeses,
and 411130e5 the gmentest joy acid 01"
00019011(0 she Call have by not eller

ing her -child's Meese and fears, bie
-troubles and triumphs. The bitter ex-
perience will come to her ecamer or
later of realizing that heti child is
sharing these with another person
who must, therefore, be spirituelly
neathr to him than she is.
There are a few absolutely certain
ways of avoiding this catastrophe
evlitiels have been need over and over
again by wise and devoted mothers.
One is, nester fail to listen attentively
and. sympalhetitally, no matter at
what inconvenience, giving your best
wisdom to help your child. see his
problem clearly foe
%nether is, rasped your chilel as a
epirituel being, an itulividual seWt.
fereet 11001 all other individuals as
God 111051111 hiel to be. Meet 11110 on
131%.0W11 ground, and do not try to
make hem conform to n pattern of
your own.
Respect your child's confidence eh-
tolutely. Once betrayed, 11 11103' nevee
be given again.
A yoang lad of 12 I once know, told
his mother something that greatly tin-
teeested him, and asked her not to
thlfl anyone about it. Leta: in the day
he paesed under the by window in
which elle mid a friend were sitting
With their sewing, and be heard her
telling Whet he had told lser 111 On-
ficiettee. He was a rather quiet lad
but very determeeed, and after the
visitor left ho went to his mother and
saidis qaotbery 1 passed under the
window andheard you telling Mrs,
Blank what I asked yen not to mese-
tton to anyone, I just, want to let
you know thee 10 long as 7 liere"/ will
, never again tell you anything that
coecerns myself until I em eeady for
' everybody to know it." And he kept
: hisword, although he was always a
I most devoted and dutiful eon.
Never ineat a situation whieh ap-
pears absurd to you with ridicule or
sarcasm; this is fatal.
Perhaps the meet important rule of
all is, do not he afraid to discuss any
subject, to meet truth with troth,
frankness with frankness, eonfidence
I with confidence. Long ago 7 told my
Children I would always give honest
answers to their questions in as far
as they could understand them, and
1 would explain 1110.170 as they grOW

! when they ask for them, reeerently
nnel simply, arid know the joy of eee-
ing their minds open to th.e nude of
1:lo with appreciatioli of their beatieer
and holiness, 'and 01 watchleg theit
love and respect grow for their father
' end mother and for nil life.
; Never be afraid of confessing
ignorance. A child thovoughly re-
rpetes the answer: "I don't know
11,•0u101e13' enough to tell you cor-
rectly; let us look it up together."
This is wheee father cell be brought
