Garden Crops This Year, if Ever, the Opportune Time for Making Money From Vegetables. MAKE EVERY ACRE PRODUCE MORE. Ilea teems of Ontaeio soil near a good market can be made to ,easily support a family in comfort. In potatoes alone the returns would run, under ordinary prices, at from $10(1 to $500 per apre. From $400 to $500 per acre .can be Made from cauliflower. Many people -will be inclined to 'regarcl these figures as exaggerated, but they are fade, and many cases can be pointed out to substantiate our 'statements. With proper soil treatment, the average garden will produee at least a ,half more than it now does. Several -things must be ,borne in mind, however, t» make a success with garden crops, such as onions, potatoes, . cabbage, eta The soil must be suitable, cultivation must be thorough,' varieties the beet fOr the district and the market, and , good .salesmanship. - The plot .eelected for the garden • ahould be well drained, and mast not be shaded to any extent. Drainage takes away surface wa- ter rapidly, and keeps the soil wee ter away. from the surface, there- by allowing the roots to grow deep and the .aix to entea the soil and aid in decomposing it. Fertility is another most important feature. The need for fertilizer is shown by low growth and pale color in theplants. Stable manure, bone meal, re good commercial fertilizes- &Mild „ a.., used to renew the elementre- quired by the soil. Germination. Crops are often lost through the failure of the seeds to geximaate. Don't blame your Beadsman for this'. It is usually because in planting , the soil is left loose about the tiny seeds, and the dry .atmosphere pene- trates to them alerivelling them up until all vitfality is .destroyed. Vegetable crops as a kale are sown in rows, and an ,every case, as soon Bee the seed is sown, it thould be pressed &Ma in the drill with the foot, then covered up level by the back of a rake, drawn lengthwise of the drills, and again firmed by the roller or back of a, spade.. For want of this simple precaatieh, perhaps one-quarter of all seeds sown fail to germinate. Again, for the same reason, when aetting out plants of any kende be certain that the soil is pressed cloete to the rod. We have eeen whole Berea d cauli- flower, eab h age and strawberry plants lost solely through .neglect of this precaution. Value of flotation. In order to secure maximinn yield,.atted to keep down weeds, the systematie rotation of farm orope is an aCknowledged necessity. Why not, therefore, plan the varie- ties of vegetables and their planting time 'so as to secure' a conbinuous and abundant supply of good, fresth green things?' .It is juab as easy as any other naethod of -garden num.- availed, and it is mach more satis- factory. For 'example a .erop of radielms, toe -I -dos, spinach or lettuce sown in April, will have ripened so that the ground can be cleared, dug up, and meowed, and tagain used by the first of Jane, when each coops *as cu- cumbers, peas, tomatoes, or sweet corn pan be planted, and so on all through the Bet. Th,e crops .ehould be moved around from year to year, so as to give the soil a chance to recuperate. Where a number of successive plantings axe desirable, die with -peas, it is an excellent plan to plant a, third or fourth, map between the rows of the first 'crope removing the vices of the fire, Crop as soon as the peas 11111.Ve been. pecked.

'and ambitious person to make a, tuceese oe growing the 'com- mon and most popular sumaner vegetables. Extensive Potato Cultivation. The potato is probably more in demand at all times, and will ehow better proportionate profit, year in and year out, than any other farm crop. In next week's issue of this 'paper will appear an article dealing thoroughly and interesting- ly with the methods of one success- ful farmer 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-aore farra. Don't fail to read this article. Here are some interesting facts cited by the foamier about whom the article is writtera.; "Ilhe first two crops after putting in twenty-one thousand tile paid Lor the underdraining in increased yield per aore." "When you take much food from the soil you must return a like amount OT your soil will soon play out. This spring we used about five tons of fertilizer, as well as several hundred loads of ananare." "In the last two yeers.1 have void fifteen thouteaadbushels of potatoes from this famm, and have not had one single complaint as to quality." "Up .-te the year 1900 the total value of .sbuff sold off my farm amounted to $41,724.28, The ten years following 1900 would add eaei- ly another $40,000 to that sum." This last year I had nia least 6,000 boehels of potatoes. Put these at the low peke of fifty cents per bushel and you get $8,000, I MD raise one acre of potatoes Inc twen- ty 'dollars, 'easily. So, you see, I have been making pretty good pro- fit on my thirty aores." "Fox the last seven years I have each year been unable to fill my orders.'' "In taking up eix thousand bush- els of pobatoes this year we have not ran ,across a quart meaaareful of potatoes unftb for market." "When every potato means two or three teats', one must be careful that -there is an eye on eaoh piece planted.'" "I started forty-three years ago with five ,acres in .petaboes, and en 'Iota .single yetax aace have I failed to .grow them." "I 'believe in 'repaying the soil for what you take from it. I have made it a rule never to sell off the farm hay, straw os, oats." "I have been decent with my men, giving respectable wages and their room and board, but never wash- ing. When I hired my nest men, many years ago, 1 simply told him that 1 hadn't married my wile -to- do washin.g." Hardly That. Mrs. ICI:lam-Well, whakare you thinking about? • Mr. linagg-a nVe.2 jaet.
