The Essentials lu Planning Garden—
Best Varieties to Plant,
(Cnntribute3 by Ontario Department or
Agriculture, Toronto,)
A0.1 NO 'GIME, in many years has
the necessity and impnrtanee
of the hone vegetable garden
bean so clearly shown its for
ale coming summer, Prance, our
wonderful ally, 11118 since the French
Revolution been a nation of small
farmers, her people o: small means
eultivating some available land to
produce a portion of it'elr own house-
hold foodstuffs and to lnerease the
wealtle of the nation, Great Britain,
threeteaod with a shortage of food-
stuffs, determined 'to cultivate all
available lana possible to offset this
shortage and we, in Canada, bending
every energy toward facilitating
these groat nations 1 hould do all In
our iadividatal power to do something
in the bees of helping ourselves and
assisting the commercial vegetable
growers who are seriously handicap-
ped by the shortage of labor 11.1 the
production of vegetable foodstuffs.
Every city, town .cid village dweller
bas an opeprtunity to help in this
great work, in that there are hun-
dreds of available plots now practi-
cally unproductive, vhich could be
made grew vegetables and thus add to
the wealth of the country.
Vegetables an important Food.
Vegetables should form an Import-
ant portion of the daily food of the
Average human being, for they pos-
sess qualities which we are told are
essential in the proper digestion of
the heavy foods, suet as meats.
All backyards cannot be prepared
in one year to grow Vegetab1e of an
excellent quality, Some portion of the
yard,. however, may be devoted to
this purpose, or, if 1t is convenient,
there are usually many vacant lots
which are not too far from one's place
of abode which possibly could be de-
voted to the growing of vegetables.
Some Essentials.
First of all it is essential that the
vegetable garden, no matter how
small, be planted according to some
plan or rule. No one attempts to
build a house or to set out a peren-
nial Sower border without using some
drawing or chart to go by. Why
should the vegetable garden be treat-
ed differently? Haphazard planting
will prove a failure, and in order to
overcome this It should be remember-
ed in laying out the garden that—
(1) Tall plants will be most effec-
tive if placed behind low ones, not
intermingled with them.
(2) All plants closely allied
should be grown together, not in the
same row, but in rows adjoining one
another,
(3) The fences may be decorated
with vine crops which may be support-
ed on the fences by means of strings
or lattice work.
(4) All quickly maturing vege-
tables should be planted in a portion
of the garden by themselves so that
they may be harvested and the ground
used for other crops later on,
Secure Seed Now—But Plant Only
When Soil Is Ready.
The backyard gardener should de-
cide very early which crops are to be
grown and should purchase his seed
as soon as possible. It must be re-
membered, however, that much of
this seed may be wasted if it Is plant-
ed too early in the season. The soil
must be warm to receive the seeds,
and amateur gardeners must have
patience until it is certain that good
growing weather has come. It is pos-
sible in ordinary seasons to plant
some vegetables in April, and yet
many backyard vegetable enthusiasts
will be well advised to waft until the
middle of May before doing very
much in .the garden.

Animals Used to Test Drugs.
Use is made by cltemlcu1 manufac-
turers of various auimale, such as
chickens, dogs, Gals and frogs, to test
the efficacy of drugs,
Ergotine, for instance, is tested on
chickens in an extremely simple way.
Should it fail to turn a chicken's
comb black, it is at once known by
the experimenter that the drug is
worthless.
Dogs are used to test hashish. This
is manufactured from female buds of
hemp, the male buds having no par-
ticular medicinal value. Hashish ad-
ministered to dogs induces a peculiar
pathological condition if the drug is
correctly prepared, which is seen in no
other animal save man himself.
Digitalis, the heart stimulant, is best
tested on frogs. Injecting a drop of
the drug into the stomach of the frog,
the chemist by means of the kymo-
graph or heart recording machine
studies the changes of the frog's heart
action, thus obtaining accurate knowl-
edge as to the effect of that particular
kind of digitalis.—Exchange.
When Thermometers Differ.
Why does a weather bureau ther-
mometer show lower temperature in
hot weather than the thermometer at
the corner drug store? asks the Popn.
lar Science Monthly. When discrepan-
cies exist they are due chiefly to the
fact that the official thermometer is
installed in a wooden cage, where It is
open to the air, but screened from both
direct sunshine and the heat reflected
from surrounding buildings, etc. Only
under such conditions does a thermom.
eter measure accurately the tempera-
ture of the air. A thermometer in the
sunshine becomes much hotter than
the air around it, and its reading sim-
ply tells us how trot the instrument is,
not how hot the air is. In targe cities
the weather bureau thermometer is of.
ten installed on the roof of 0 high
building, where the temperatures differ
somewhat from those prevailing at the
street level, The object s0nghl in this
arrangement is to obtain a record of
the natural temperature of the locality
In general rather than the artificial
temperatures of the city.
