It must be remembered that because the 0011 ie ready to receive the plaits it isnot abeolutely necessary that the grower should set the plants out. Potatoes planted out between 24th May and even the first of Julie will give excellent results, Tomatoe may be set out after the 6th of Jane and good returns expected, as some sea - gone a severe frost destroys many tomato plants as late as Juno Bila. Vine crops such as encumber and squash may be planted after all dal. ger of frost is over. POTATOES. Potatoes are one crop which may be planted on land which is considered to bo in a very rough condition. Possibly there is no better crop to he planted on land which has been in eod for a number of years. Medium-sizedtubers oT good quality should be secured and they should be cut so that there are et least two eyes is east] piece or set, It is a good plan in a small garden to have the soil prepared fairly well, then out the seed tad commence planting, !Furrows may be made with the hoe about six inches deep and two feet apart. The sets may be placed twelve inches apart in the bottom of the furrow and should be covered with two inches of soil.- This will leave the young plant more or less_in a trench. As the plants grow the soil will be gradually drag - ed up and the trench will be filled. It will be necessary to cultivate the soil between the rows so as to keep down weeds, and at the same time soil should ha gradually drawn up to the tops• in sufficient quantities so that the growing roots will not be exposed to the sunlight, which will cause them to turn green and be of Inferior quality. if an early variety has been planted and a vigorous growth has resulted it is possible that some may be lit to dig in August. By removing some, of the soil from around a hill 'with the hand one can tell whether they are 'at to dig. If the potatoes are grown for winter use they do not need to be dug until quite late in the fall. The tops will die down at the first frost, but it is not absolutely necessary that they he dug immediately. They should, how- ever, be dug before Blore is any severe frost. TOMATOES. .The tomato is one of the most popular vegetables either fresh or in a preserved con- dition. It may be grown quite easily in the backyard. The better practice with tomatoes is to purchase the plants ready for transplanting rather than attempting.to grow these plants if one has not, had experience in handling a hot -bed, Plants having a large root system are best, and the stock in any ease should at least be the size or a lead pencil. The soil should be thoroughly prepared be- fore planting time, possibly a crop of lettuce or radish may be taken from the same, but it is always advisable to have plenty of manure incorpor- ated in the soil. A shallow hole may be made with the common hoe to in- sert the roots of the tomato plant. These rootsshould be thoroughly watered so that the soil will cling close to the roots when they are set out in the garden. The plant should be set fairly deep and the earth should he firmed around the roots. If the season is dry and bot, water may be poured around the plant In order to facilitate growth. These plants may be set two feet apart if they are to be trained on stakes and kept from covering a large space in the garden. These stakes should be preferably six feet long, two inches wide, and one inch thick. They may be driven into the soil a few days after the plant has been set out and the plants tied up to the stick with a piece of twine or cotton in such a manner. that the tie will be directly under the leaf. As the plant de- velopes In size in front of each leaf a slender growth called a side. shoot will appear. Those must be removed by pressing them out with the thumb when very small. Four or five ties will be necessary to support the plant. As a result of the staking. fruits of a superior quality will ripen earlier than those grown on the ground. CELERY Celery may be grown in many garden soils if they have been heavily dressed with manure. For the backyard gardener it will be much better if the plants are se- cured heady for setting out about the 24th of May. All the plants should be 001 on the level from six to eight tnohos apart in the row and from two feet to thirty inches be- tween the rows.. It will be found necessary to water celery more than any other crop in the garden, and the soil between the rows should be stirred. constantly, In the fall when the Celery has reached sufficient height it will be found necessary to blanch it. Possibly the best me- thod being to stand twelve inch boards against the rows of plants, holding them _in position with stakes at each end. In from ten days to two weeks the celery plants will have grown considerably, and owing to the exclusion of the light will have become fairly well whitened, which improves the quality. The Celery plants should be used as soon as pos- sible after bleaching. Other methods of bleaching celery are the drawing of earth up around the plant grad- ually, commencing when the head of the plants are about four laches above the ground. Brown paper is sometimes tied around each Wk. vidual head. .._...• Wingham Mr. James Elliott of London has been visiting, his brother, Mr. Eli Elliott of town, and with relatives (it, (lenannan.

One fruit grower, last season( made four trips a day to the railway station, a total of 144 miles and carried as high as 72 crates of 14 quarts each on a trip, He couldn't have made more than one 36 mile trip a day with a team.. The Ford soon pays for itself in the time it saves the farmer. With help so scarce, every farmer needs to make use of every precious minute of his time. To him the Ford car is a real necessity. Indeed, some farmers tell us that it is doubtful if they could carry on their farm work under present labor conditions if it wasn't for the time the Ford saves then,. No farmer need be without a Ford. In fact, the average farmer could afford one if it were double the price. ,It is as easy to drive as a horse, three times as fast, and costs less per mite to run.
