Think of what food the baby has had, the quantity of urine, and save a Madmen in a clean enamel dish. Note if there is cough. rapid breathing, or vomiting. restlessness, and crying. Mark the color and general appearance and hours of sleep. The written record makes it easier for the physician to come to a satisfactory conclusion regarding the trouble. Getting Well. When the baby begins to get well, do not stub him with too much food. A child will take tend when he needs it. Some diseases such as acute rheu- matism, tonsillitis, and diphtheria require prolonged rest if full recovery la to be expected. Taking the Temperature. A baby', normal temperature runs from 98 to 991; Deg. F. If above 701 Deg, F gat a doctor at once. Take the temperature in the following manner: Anoint the bulb end with vaseline and insert into the rectum for about one inch. if carefully done there is no pain.

It possible add sone manure to Year moll and worst it up well before planting time. This manure may be obtained posoibi, from various sources close to your Marne; livery stables or firms dealing entirely with manure would be willing to supply It at a reasonable rate, On heavy soils It is particularly recommended that hoary applications be made In order that the soil will be of a much Ester condition so that it will retitle a large quantity of plant food. Maty of the garden soils will be benefited by the application of lime. This may be secured from various sources suck as the contractor and builder, Hine and cement dealers, and may be in the form of fresh lime or even slaked lime. This lime should be Scattered over the surfaee of the soil after the digging has taken place, and a sufficient amount should be applied to make the surface of the ground fairly white. This should be gently raked into the soil just pre- vious to the planting of the seed. DIGGING. It is necessary in all gardens that the soil be turned over at one time or another during the early spring in order that it may be- come dry and fined. We find that many of the troubles of the back- yard gardens are caused by digging the soil too early in the spring. One of the easiest ways to tell when the soil is ready for dlpging is to gather a bandful and press the fingers aver it. If the soil in the hand sets in a somewhat compact mass the time is not far enough advanced for com- mencing digging. lf, however, the soil falls apart into several small Parts we may rest assured that it is perfectly safe to dig, e man 0 n rs TOOLS. It is unnecessary for til backyard gardener to purchase ma tools for this first garden. Those wh have been growing vegetables i their backyard for a number of yea gradually add to their supply until after three or four years they have accumulated many special tools which are salted for particular oper- ations in the garden. Complaints are sometimes beard that the expense necessary to commence a backyard garden is very great. Many very good backyard gardens have been made and excellent harvests obtain- ed with very few and comparatively inexpensive tools, A. digging fork or spade, a rake, and a hoe are about an the tools essential at the outset, and these are inexpensive. PLANTING OF SEEDS. When it has been determined that the soil is suitable for digging and the weather is nice and warm, it is necessary that the seeds be planted in the garden. As fine a surface as possible should be secured, so that the little seeds will quickly germinate and grow. To sow the seeds quickly, evenly, and thinly requires considerable practice nd care, The row may be made raight by stretching fairly tight a ieoe of string from one portion of e garden to another and using this s a guide for making the trenches or las for placing the seeds in. After o seeds have been dropped in they ould at once be covered with soil gently drawing some of the Ioose rface soil in over the seeds with a eco of stick or with the hands, This 11 should, however, not be heaped aver the row but should be placed enly with the rest of the garden 11 and packed down. THINNING, Backyard gardeners mild not attempt to grow immense 1 entities at first. It is necessary plant sufficient seed to secure a od crop of plants, the more slender ants being thinned out soon after ey are above ground so as to assure sonable room for a good crop of althier plants. The thinning. ould be commenced when the ants are from one to two inches in ight and should not be ]eft until e plants have become long and nder, because if they are left one ant simply tries to smother another e out; whereas, if they are thin - to the proper distance they will ve room to grow to their required of maturity. TRANSPLANTING. The city dweller will find it almost impossible to grow plants of first-class quality of such vegetables as tomatoes, celery, or cabbages unless he has other appliances such as a bot -bed, which enablee him to start the eeeda very early in the spring and sone time before they could have been planted out in the garden, in order that he may secure early crops. It Is good practice for him to purchase plants which may be taken to the baokyard garden and transplanted or set out in the garden at a required distance and good healthy crops grown from them, and in all canes when purchasing plants only sturdy and vigorous growing plants should be accepted. Tomato plants to give the best results should be eight Inches high, and the stalk should be at least as thick as a lead pencil and thicker if possible. If the plants al- ready are in bloom this may be con- sidered a very good feature, The root system of the plants should bo large and having fine rootlets. When transplanting individual plants care should be taken to make sure that quite a good . deal of soil is lett around the root of each plant a st a th B dri . tl1 ah by an S p[ 80 up ev so ah qu to go p1 th sea he sh pi he th ale pl on ned ha size The auunal Vestry meeting of Trinity Church was held on Tuesday evening of jest week the books showed that the fineness of the (Meech were in good shape the following offtoer a were R,:ct- ore Warden, Wm Elliott, Peoples Ward- en Jno Tippet; Vestry cle,k, Geo Green.
