DIGGING. 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. One
of the easiest ways to tell when ti.,
soil is ready for digging is to gather
a handful au.d press the lingers over

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,

should not attempt to grow immense
quantities at first. It la necessary
to plant sumdiont seed to secure a

they are above ground so as to assure
