Of course one does not expect to,
•&tart .finding vegetables and Sowers
for a while yet, but the real gardener
does not wait until the soil is ready
'6e dig before he starts his season's
operations. Like a good builder he
gets out a pencil and plans on paper
everything in advance. There is
much to be done before the spade is
actually taken out of the back shed,
garage or wherever it may have been
tutored for the winter. At any rate,.
the seed catalogues have been distrl•
luted and that is a sure sign that
ppring ie just around the corner. An
)abundance of crisp, tender vegetables
and a wonderful 'display of the very.
!finest flowers are within the reach of
all, although In too many cases and
s often too where there is •plenty of
room, such as in the small town, the
village, pr- even mit on the farm, gar-
• ,dewing is often neglected. Just why
this is so the writer is not prepared
to say as the work Is most interest-'
Ing'and even the hardest part of it is
310 more arduous than golf. A little,
land, a few tools, some fertilizer and
01 dollar's worth' of seed will give one
a start and should result in green,
velvety lawns, colorful flower gar-
dens and a patch of vegetables which
Will supply the table for a good part
of the season.
Make Plans Now
A few hours with pencil and 'Paper
one of these long evenings will prove
a, wonderful .1te1P later on. The plan
will save time, space and worry.
Where the garden is large a bit
pear's supply of vegetables' can be
easily produced and the rows in this
mase should be wide enough to permit
horse cultivation. This will mean
that vegetables of ordinary, size, such
as carrots, beats, lettuce and spinach
bhould be at least thirty inches apart,
'while the spreading sorts and taller
•ones,' such as cucumbers, tomatoes,
Potatoes and corn should have from
three to four feet. On the farm or in
he village garden it will not he
necessary to worry, about conserving
apace by inter or double cropping and
'narrow rows. When the early crops,
such as lettuce, spinach, peas, radish
And the host of other delicacies which
etre ready in from three weeks to a
Couple of months after planting, are
'harvested, the best thing to do is to
put iu a crop of clover or some quick
and 'Close growing thing which will
dreep the weeds down and may be
plowed under later on for fertilizer.
',Wherever posible garden experts ad-

Inore evenly distributed. Melons,
;squash, encumbers and other trailing
plants are better grown along a fence
•or 011 sloping ground so that the
fruits will be dry and mature evenly.
Tomatoes should be staked. This
&taking is often considered too much
trouble but it will repay labor and
other .expense many 'times over, n01
only in more northerly latitudes
where there is risk of an early :frost,
And tomatoes normally only ripen
two or three years out of five, but
also in the warmest districts of On-.
tario where the staked fruit alwaye
ripens first and is, therefore, much
more valuable and it is always clean-
er, The vegetubhe garden may be
made more attractive by planting a
few showy flowers, such as zinnias,
poppies, marigolds and caliiopsis
around the edges. Here also should
be grown those flowers for gutting
purposes, like sweet peas, salpiglos-
sis and other plants, the foliage of
which is not particularly attractive.
The bright flowers will relieve the
solid green of the .vegetables.

Clumps of one variety and color with

BURDENS
One cannot bear one's neighbor's
burdens—you may break your own
heart out of sheer pity, but your
neighbor will not be a whit less Op-
pressed. . . This is not denial of
the power in sympathy,: counsel, af-
fection, or coffiradeslitp; the power of
such gifts is incalculable, but they
cannot be transmitted, they can only`
be exercised for the neighbor's bene-
fit and encouragement. They cannot
lessen the burden; they cannot affect
those unuttered and unutterable
thoughts which dart through the soul,
those hours of absolute and unreach-
able solitariness, those moods when
no one really counts and nothing real-
ly matters. -John Oliver Hobbes.

Strangest of Stories
"No Feet" Recalls Trial of
Starving Man Who Eats
His Own Feet
Edmonton, Alta.—One of the etrang-
est stories -ever told, unbelievable if it
were not contaLted in an of'iciai
R,C.M.P, report, reaches Edmonton
-from Sgt. E. G. Baker, in charge of
the Mounties post at Bathurst Inlet,'
The story is that of a man tvho' ate
his own feet
Told in the plain, unvarnished eau.
guage of the 'Sergeant, the story is
dramatic enough and has behind it a
theme of human suffering and forti-
tude almost unparalleled.
In the wilds of the farthest North-
lands—beyond the fringes of ciyiliza-
tion and in a section of the seemingly
endless wastes -01. the Arctic lives
Eskimo No Feet.
Lack of his pedal extremities has
`giyen him his name and he takes con.
siderable: pride in his disfigurement.
His story reached this city only
now, .following receipt of mail from
Cambridge Bay.
"No Feet," says Sergeant Baker,
while out on a hunting trip early
this winter got lost in a storm, and
unable to find his way back to hie
Igloo, froze both•his feet.
Before he was rescued, he Dame
near death, from starvation,
As he reached this dreaded point,
he ;realized that as his feet wore froz-
en and as they would be of no fur-
ther consequence in his mobility, that
he might as well use them as food,
Accordingly he severed the feet
from the tower portion of the legs
and ate them, thus sustaining life un
til aid arrived.
He is active and walks around oa
his knees. Also he 0an run along
side a 'dog -sled as long ea he keeps
one hand on it for guidance. He is
happy and is said to enjoy dfe.
Another misfortune has overtaken
him. His wife Is both blind and
dumb,
But No Feet may soon have to fore-
go lila sobriquet. The Hudson's Bay
company has ordered a pair of artifi-
cial feet for him and as they are ex.
peeted soon, he may shortly oe wak-
ing as he did in days of yore.

"What's the reason DeSwift' does

To Fit the Case
They were fishing In the canal.
"I say, Harry," said one youth,"
"what laud of hall are you using to
catch your fish with?"
"Meat bones," replied ,-. other.
"Meat bones," exclaimed the first,
"What kind of fish do you hope to
catch?"
"Why, dogfish, of course!" was the
reply.

one skunk, four bullfrogs, two pounds
of flsh scrap, . and three ounces of
smokeless gunpowder. Stir well and

SUFFER FROM
CONSTIPATION?
Countless remedies are advertised
for constipation. Many relieve for
the moment but they are habit form-
ing and must be continued. Others
contain calomel and dangerous min-
eral drugs, which remain in the sys-
fen, settle in the joints and cause
aches and pains. Some are harsh
purgatives which cramp and gripe
and leave a depressed after effect.
Avoid lubricating oils which only
grease the intestines and encourage
nature's machinery to become lazy.
A purely vegetable laxative such
as Carter's Little Liver Pills, gently
touches the liver, bile starts to flow,
the bowels move gently, the intestines
are thoroughly cleansed and constipa-
tion poisons pass away. The stomach,
liver and bowels are now active and
the system enjoys a real tonic effect.
