VEGETABLES. 20.
A great many of Our vegeteleles re-
quiring a comparatively short season
for development are raised and used
only once during the season in the
average kitchen garden. Experience
• has shown that a succession of these
'crops is both possible and practical,
and, although the early vegetables
roay be in a measure replaced by the
'later maturing sorts, they are, never-
theless, appreciated during August
and September as in June; crisp fresh
lettuce will make just as good a salad
In autemn as in the eerly summer;
• green peas are a favorite dish at any
time of the year; and late garden
bents and earrots always seem to come
In at the right time. -
By correct evrangement and choice
of the right verieties, such vegetables
may be made to follow each other,
thus making the garden more pro-
ductive and eliminating the vacant
spaces. Late cabbage may be trans-
planted into the vacant spaces left by
, early peas; spinach will follovi rad -
or lettuce; and peas will success-
fotelow any of the earliest vege-

When we go out to plow, we can-
not take credit unto ourselves for per.

When we continue to repeat the things

are once raore "cashing in" on experi-

evident that he who profits most from

from others, who puts into practice

GOOD RESULTS ALL OYES.
Our new wheat appears to be cape
able of filling the bill in a wheat sup-
erior to Marquis for those areas of
more limited rainfall in this province,
It has been tested at the University
anti tested also to some extent in other
parte of the province, where it is giv-
ing splendid promise.
If this new wheat proves as well as
it promises at the present time it will
fulfill in a very measurable way the
purpose for whith it was selected,
namely: (1) for giving greater strew
length than Marquis in the limited
rainfall areas where Marquis has been
so short in the dry years as to he very
difficulteie not imposeible, to harvest;
(2) for offsetting the inevitably de-
creasing yields of older lands, due to
decreasing fertility, and (8) for 'de-
creasing the cost of production in
wheat, through sec iring- a greater
yield.
It should be pointed out that up to
date the aim had been to carefully test
this neuv wheat at Edmonton and a
few loeal points in the province, and
net to multiply it fel' distribution. As
a result, only a very Mulled amount of
seed is available, and therefore the
University will proceed to multiply it
from now on with a view to increasing

Recently a farmer took me out to
his barn to show me some horses he
had just purchased. As I stepped
into the runway of the barn, I noticed
a large blackboard hung on the side
wall. -
It had two large headings thalked
on it. One was "Rush Repair Jobs"
and the other, "Spare -Time Jobs."
Under "Rush Jobs" I read, "Cattle
yard gate sagged"; "Big )3en's collar
ripped"; "Grapes ripe for jell"; "Auto
spagleepIuge dirty"; "Loose cog on
windmill"; "East line -fence down,"
etc. Tinder the heading "Spare -Time
Jobs," I read, "Chicken roosts loose";
"Lawn -mower needs tharpening";
"Paint new hayrack"; ; "Fix eaves -
trough"; "Fasten bale on sorghum
barrel," etc.
"Is this one of your time-savers?"
I inquired.

THE SHADOWS ON THE WALL.
When mother tucks me up in bed
And then turns off the light,
When I have said my evening prayers
And kissed my dad goodnight,
Then mother with an extra pat,
And with a kite; or two,
Goes off and leavee me the're alone—
I. tell you 'what I do;
I duck 'way down between the sheets
And never stir at all,
For fear I might look uwe
p d see
The shadows on the wall!
I lie as quiet as dun be, ".
In hopes they'll go away;
And yet, I know it's nothing
But the tree across the way
With the light a -shining through it,
Casting shadows strange and queer;
And mother says I mustn't mind,
There's not a thing to fear.
And yet, although I'm big and brave,
I almost have to call
To mother, when I look and see
Those shadows on the wall!
They stretch out arras so thin and
long
And curl up like a snake,
They dance and chase around the wall
And keep inc wide awake;
Somethnes they look like goblins
With big, queer pumpkin heads,
And other times the shadow
Like a big, dark river spreads,
With ships a-seiling in it
And big, 'black pirates tall,
While I just lie a -shivering at
The shadows on the wall!
You know it's funny, but there's times
Those shadows show at night
The things that I've been doing
That I know weren't quite all right;
One night our neighbor's eat was
perchee
Upon that shadow tree,
A -looking, with its great, green eyes.
Right at the bed and me,
I never meant to hit him, just
To scare him that was all,
But I was sorry when I saw
Those shadows on the wall!
I guess it's just the way feel,_
And all the things I've done,
Though lot,s of things that turned out
bad
I only meant in fun;
geese perhaps I'd better try
A little harder, too, '
To do the things ethat mother thinks
Are best for boys to do;
Then when I'm all alone at night,
I won't be 'fraid at all,
And I won't mind a.lookIng at
