More -Dividends Front Garden Crops
This Year, if Ever, the Opportune Time for Making Money From
Vegetables.
MAKE EVERY ACRE PRODUCE MORE.
,Five acres of Ontario ,soil near a
good market can be m.a.cle to eesily
.attpPorb a family in tomfoxt. In
potatoes alone iihe returns would
run, under ordinary prices, at
f norm $10Q to $200 per apre. From
$400 to $500 per acre can be Made
from canlillower. Many people will
be inclined to hegoed these figures
as exaggerated, but they are facts,
and many ceses an be pointed out
• to subsbentiete our :statements.
• With proper soil treatment, the
ave.ra,ge garden will produce at
least a half more than it now does.
Several things must be ,borne en
min.d., however, to make a. thecese
with -garden crops, such as onionre
potatoes, cabbage, etc. The wai
must be euitable, 'cultivation must
be thorough,varieties the best for
the district and the market, and
good .salesmenship.
The plot selected kr the geeden
thould, be well, 'drained, and meet
not be shaded to any extent.
Drainage bakes .away •surface wa-
ter rapidly, and keeps the soil we -
tee a,eay from the sarfece, there-
by allowing the roots to grow deep
• and the ace to entre:r the soil and
aid ill decemposing it. Fertility is
another most important kettle:a.
The need for fertilizer is shown by
kw growth and pale color in the
plants. Stable maimre, bone meal,
• -:: good oommercial fertilizer should
used to renew the elements re-
quired by bhe soil.
Germination.
Crops are often lost throu0 the
failure of the seed's to gel:Inmate.
Don't blame your seedernan for this.
It is usually because in planting
the soil is left loose about the tiny
Seals, .ancl the dry atmosphere pene-
trates to them ghtrivelling them up
until all viterlity is deetroyed.
Vegetable crops as e rule aresowe
in rows, and rM every case, as then
. as the seed is sown, it should be
pressed down in the drill with the
'foot, then . covered up 1,eVel by the
back of a rake, drawn lengthwise of
the drills', and ,again firmed by the
roller or hack a &spade. Fee want
of this simple preca•utioh, perhaps
one-quarter of all seeds sown fail
to germinate. Again, for the same
reason, when setting out plants of
way kind, be certain that the soil
is pressed close to the root. We
have ,se•en w.hole acree, o eettli-
flower, cabbage and strawberry
plants lost .solely through _neglect
.of this precaution.
Value of Rotation.
In melee to s.ecure maximum
yields, and to keep .clown weeds,
the systematie rotetion of lazim
crops is an acknowledged necessity.
1:Vhy not, therefore, plae the vairie-
, tie,s of vegetables end their planting

and abundant .eueply of good, fresh
green things ? .It is just ae easy as

• Extensive Potato Cultivation.
Ths potato is probably more in
demand at all times, and will how
better proportionate profit, pear
in and year out, than any other
ferni crop. In next week's issue of
this paper will appear an article
dealing thoroughly and interesting-
ly with the methods of one euccese-
ful fernier in Western Ontario, who
has grown potatoes extensively for
43 years, and who last year sold
$1,200 worth of potatoes from a
twelve -acre patch of his 150 -acre
2 erne
Don't fail to read this article.
Here are some inte.resting facts
cited by the farmer about whom
the article is written:
"The first two erope after putting
in twenty-one thousand tile paid
for the underdraining 1 increased
yield per aere."
"When you take rauth food from
the tsoil you must return a like
amount or your soil will soon play
out. This srprkg we used:about five
tons of fertilizer, as well as several
hundred :loads of manure."
"In th.o last two yease.1 have eold
fifteen thoneend bushels of potatoes
from this fame and have not had
one single complaint as to quality."
"Up to the year 1900 the total
value of stuff sold off my ,farm
amounted to $41,724.28. The ten
years following 1900 would add cash
ly another $40,000 to that sum."
"This last year I had at least
6,000 bushels of potatoes. Put these
at the kw price of fifty eents per
bushel and you get $3,000. I 0/1,11
raise •one acre of potatoes for twen-
ty dollars, -easily. So, you see, I
have been making pretty good pro-
fit on my thirty aores."
"For the lest seven years. I have
eech year been unable to fill my
orders!"
"In taking up six thousand bush-
els of potatoes this year we have. not
run across a quart measereful of
potatoes unfit for market."
"When every potato means two or
theee ee•nia, one must be ottreful
that there is an eye on each piece
planted,"
"I started forty-three years ago
with five 'acres in potatoes, and in
nota. :single year since have I feiled
to grow them."
' "I believe in 'repaying the soil
for what you bake from, it. I have
made it • a rule never to sell off the
farm hey, straw or oats."
"'have been decent with my men,
giving .heseectable wages and their
room awl board, hut never wash-
ing. When I hired my first mem,
many yeses ago, 1 eimply told him
that I hadn't meriled my wife to do
washing."
Hardly That.
