It is necessary in all gardens lhat the soil he turned over at one time or another during the early spring in order that It may be- come dry and fined. We find that many of the troubles of the back- yard gas -dens are caused by digging the soil too early in the spring.

When it t has been determined that the soil is suitable for digging and the weather is nice and warm, it is necessary that the seeds he planted in the garden, As lino a surface as possible should be secured, so that the little seeds will quickly germinate and grow. To sow the seeds quickly, evenly, and thinly requires considerable practice and care. The row may be made straight by stretching fairly tight a piece of string from one portion of the garden to another and using this as a guide for making the trenches or drills for placing the seeds in. After the sends have been dropped in they should at once be coveted with soil by gently drawing some of the loose surface soil in over the seeds with a piece of stick or with the hands. This soil should, however, not be heaped up over the row' but should be placed evenly 'with the rest of the garden soil and packed down, THINNING.
