Hours—lo a. m.to sp. m. Teephouo 14:i(5 TENTH ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT The tenth annual commencement, of the Training School for Attendants was held at the Hospital for the In sane July 10th. The class this year numbers nineteen and is one of the largest yet turned out at the institu tion. being surpassed in size only by the one last year, which numbered twenty. The exercises were very interesting, Amusement Hall on the occasion be ing comfortably tilled. A large num ber of friends and relatives of the graduates were present. The bulk of the audience, however, as usual was made up of orderly patients. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. N. E. Cleaver. The address to the graduating class was made by Clarence L. Peas lee of Will iamsport. He took as his theme "Power and Aim," showing that it is only when these two are properly join ed and united that manhood and wo manhood rises to their true dignity and the highest results are achieved. The discourse was full of excellent thoughts. Power or aim each without the other is useless. No person lives without au aim, but the aim to be a true one must have something of the infinite—something of Heaven in it, aspiring to search out truth and to be of service to others. The speaker cited the great Na{>oleon as an example of great power coupled witli low aims. Through the force of his genius Nap olean could have advanced the civiliza tion of Europe a hundred years but his aim was low and he chose to be a conqueror. Bring your powers up so as to be commensurate with your aim. To lower your aim to meet your pow er is the part of a coward. Dr. Meredith conferred the diplomas in a graceful little speech. With the present class the number of trained nurses graduated at the institution is 136. Dr. G. T. Smith awarded the prizes. These are of gold, three in number, for the highest average in study. The first prize was awarded to Miss Jean Belle Munro; second prize to Harry E. Conrad, and third prize to Miss (Mara M. Becker. Miss Perry Conwav received honorable men tion. The orchestra belonging to the Hos pital played three selections and Miss Bradley rendered a piano solo. The music was an enjoyable feature of the exercises. Sojourning at Hunter's Park. Now that warm weather has come no doubt to stay, persons who take de light in camping out are beginning to plan their anuual outing and are cast ing about for a suitable place for pitch ing their tents. Camping out is not indulged into the extent that it was a few years ago when from June to September there was not a week that did not find scores of our citizens,including whole house holds,out of town, living like primitive people under tents half hidden in the wildwood along the river above and below town. The increasing popular ity of our two excellent parks has no doubt to some extent been responsible for the apparent change of taste in those who love out of door life. The parks are very liberally patroniz ed by those who desire a day's outing. Where cottages have been provided they perhaps enjoy an increased popu larity, the accommodations being much in denjaiul by those who wish to spend several days or weeks in the grove. Messrs. Ed. Y. Seidel and Harry G. Salmon with their families each oc cupy quarters at Hunter's Park, Mr. Seidel having resided at the resort for nearly a month past. Invited to Picnic. The members of Danville Circle, Protected Home Circle, have been in vited to attend a basket picnic at Is land Park Saturday. It is to be held by Sunbury Circle, No. 64, and invita tions have also been extended to the circles at Lewisburg, Milton, Muncv and Watsontown. The program will consist of athletic sports, wheel harrow races, sack races and other events. Music will be furnished by an orches tra and an enjoyable time is assured those who attend. Saves a Woman's Life. To have given up wonld have meant death for Mrs. Lois Cragg. of Dorches ter, Mass. For years she had endured untold misery from a severe lung trou ble and obstinate cough. "Often," she writes, "I could scarcely breathe and sometimes could notspeak. All doctors and remedies failed till I used Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption and was completely cured." Sufferers from Coughs, Colds, Throat and Lung Trouble need this grand remedy, for it never disappoints. Cure is guaranteed by Paules & Co. Price 50c and SI.OO. Tiial bottles free. Springfield Again Scheduled. The strong Springfield team, of Sha mokin, is again scheduled to play with the "Old Timers" on Saturday, July Hi, at DeWitt's Park. This will he a mighty interesting game, as the Spring fields are the best hitters that have been on the local ground. ARRANGING FOR A BIG DAY The general committee ot the Odd Fellows lodges tenders an invitation to all friends of the order to unite with them in making the annual pic nic a grand success. The date ot' the picnic is Wednesday, July 30, at De- Witt's Park, and an interesting pro gram is being arranged. Dinners and luncheons, with coffee, tea and iced tea, will be sold by the committee at a minimum charge to ac commodate those who do not care to be bothered with baskets. Hacks will be run to and from the grounds at five cents per trip. Baskets, baby carriages, tables, chairs and hammocks will be carried to the grounds and returned free ot charge. Places where the baskets, etc., can be left will be de signated in The Morning News of Wed nesday. A full band and orchestra will play in the park from a. m. until 10 p. m., and the park will be illuminated. No regular dancing will be allowed, but the pavilion will be used for the May pole dance by the thirty-two girls and boys who made this march such a success in the cantata of Queen Esther. There will also be a chorus of voices from different church choirs, and solos by some of the best singers of this city and South Danville. The First Ward Juniors are eager for the day when they will meet the I. O. O. F. nine on the diamond at the park. This will be a great game. The Odd Fellows will wear high silk bats and white gloves. The chairman of the committee asked the captain of the Juniors if the regulation ball would not be too large for the boys to handle. The Junior sturdily replied : "Now, don't you worry about us. Get any size you want, we always manage to get around the ball." The park and all its amusements will be free. Stands of all kinds will be xun for the accommodation of those who wish to avail themselves of these advantages. Demand Greater Than Supply. This is the busy season among farm ers, who are in the midst of haymak ing and harvesting, and as a conse quence the curbstone market is not so well attended as it will be a little later on. Unfortunately for the town residents the demand for farm produce is greater than the supply and prices are high. The recent rains have clothed every foot of pasture land with a rich coat of verdure ; neverthe less the price of butter is still up to is cents per pound, a striking contrast to some former seasons when the price was as low as a shilling. Eggs, too, remain high, few being sold below IS cents. Blackberries and raspberries are plentiful,healthy-looking and luscious retailing at 10 to 12 cents per box or for 25 cents. Huckleberries promise an enormous yield, reports from Snyder and Union counties and from the backwoods nearer home in dicating that our market in a short time will be deluged with them. Early potatoes show up splendidly. These, which are mostly sold in small quantities, bring 1(5 cents per half or 8 cents per quarter peck. The potato crop for the present season is assured and unless ruined by rotting as was the case last year the price by autumn urill fu.ll t/»_n .v«r.v...wwy 1 "A-An ceptionally fine lot of early potatoes in market Tuesday. He has a very large crop; 011 Monday he dug forty bushels and yesterday sixteen bushels, all of which he disposed of very readily. In addition to the above the usual variety of garden vegetables may be found in market in plentiful quanti ties and commanding prices which constitute a good return for the labor bestowed in growing them. Apples and green corn will soon be coming into market. The latter will 110 doubt be a prolific yield,which is good news to most people, with whom green corn is a luxury most highly esteemed. Had a big Day in Danville. The Crescent Band, qf Mt. Carmel, composed of striking miners,was high ly pleased with the reception of Un people of Danville last week. The Mt. Carmel Daily News has the fol lowing to say concerning the trip here: "Last Friday Manager Roberts load ed his Orescent. Band into a big bus and started for a day out. In a few hours they rounded up in the prosper ous iron town across the hills. It was soon noised about that a band of good musicians from one of the coal towns was in Danville and the people flocked to the streets to hear the music. "Popular airs and good old-fashion ed hymns were played on the streets and in the iron mills and other fact ories. The people in the mills showed their appreciation and their sympathy in the strike by substantial droppings in the contribution box that was hastily improvised by an enthusiastic Danville admirer. Gold and silver and greenbacks were among the find ings in the hat when the collector made his report. The band hoys art! jubilant because of the warmth of the greeting accorded them by these total strangers.'' THIS IS A FAOT There is no Question About It. Its a Plain Statement of Facts. Made by a Dan ville Citizen. Mrs. M. Fields of No. I2N Pine street, Danville, Pa., says:"l have been both ered a good deal for some time with a nervous indigestion and was feeling poorly generally. I <lid not rest well and had frequent nervovs headaches I got s »meof Dr. A. W. Chas-'s Nerve Pills at Gosh's Drug Store and used them and felt that I received a very de cided benefit. I rested better and felt toned up and better generally." Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills are sold at 50c. a box at dealers or Dr. A. W. Chase Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. V. See that portrait and signature of A. W. Chase, M. D. are on every pack age. PREPARING COAL FOR THE MARKET The digging of coal from the bed of the Susquehanna river is an industry that has given an impetus by tin 1 an thracite coal strike. Those engaged in it do not worry about unions, leases or operators. There are a few Dan ville people who bring up coal from the bottom of the river, but at Sun bury quite a number are at work. Just above the town there are five largo boats fitted with dredging and hoisting machinery and they get out from twenty to thirty tons per day. The coal lias gotten into the river from the Luzerne county mines and has been carried down by the action of the water almost a hundred miles from where it was mined. The high water of the past few weeks brought down hundreds of tons. The most of it lodges in the North Branch above the Northumberland bridges. This is partly caused by the action of the water against the piers and partly because the junction with the West Branch hacks up the North Branch and the coal settles in wliaj the diggers call "fields" or "pock ets." North of Packer's Island is an other place where considerable coal is found. It extends in long narrow lines and many tons are found in these "pockets." At the canal achate of the dam, below Sunbury, is another good location for the diggers. Very little is found below this dam, but at Clark's Ferry, only a short distance above Harrisbnrg, the daui there stops considerable coal and makes digging profitable. Coal digging has been an industry at Sunbury for some years, but the demand has been increased by the strike and prices have advanced. The old adage of "carrying coals to New Castle" is exemplified now as coal is shipped from Sunbury to Wilkesbarre. A Sunbury digger has entered into a contract with a Wilkesbarre coal deal er to furnish a hundred tons of "river coal." It is a curious sight to watch the riv er miners scooping the coal out of the river. The pieces of coal are all worn round or nearly so. There are 110 sharp corners and the brilliant gloss peculiar to anthracite coal has all been worn or soaked away. The coal is taken out with large steam shovels, the stones are picked out, and the coal then run over screens to sort the sizes. Awaiting the Company's Reply. Many inquiries are made concern ing the undergrade crossing which the P. <fc 11. railway company signified its intention of erecting on Walnut street as long ago as last summer and for which a preliminary survey was made at the tme. As the situation stands at present, when traffic on the railroad is up to normal the two crossings West of the station are blocked a great deal of the time. The inconvenience of our citizens at that point is a twice told tale, which it is not necessary to repeat here. The construction of an undergrade crossing seemed to promise a solution of the difficulty. The borough in building the culvert 011 Walnut street last fall, gladly met the Beading rail way people half way in their project, adding much to the culvert's expense in order to conform with their plans for the proposed crossing at that point. Borough Solicitor was instructed to communicate with the Heading rail way officials to learn what their plans are in the matter. Their reply, which will evidently be made known at the meeting of council on Friday night, is being awaited with much interest. Artesian Well Completed. The work of drilling at the artesian well at Foust's brewery was discon tinued last evening, the drill having reached a depth of KJO feet. All abun dant supply of water has been reach ed, which tills the well to within twenty-live feet of the surface. Mr. Foust thinks the water will prove ad equate to all the demands of the brew ery and will proceed at once to give it a trial. The well is located inside the brew ery almost directly beneath a large tank under the roof into which the water will be pumped. Coming from the depth it does the water is naturally both pure and cold, essential qualities that en ter into the manufacture of beer. The product of the well will also be used in the manufacture of the ice required about the brewery, taking the place of river water, which owing to its warmth, at this season proves very undesirable. Altogether the artesian well will add very much to the facilities of the plant. Where Baskets Can be Left. The Odd Fellows picnic committee lias designated the following places where baskets, etc., can be left on the (lay of flit! picnic, July :iO, to be haul ed free to the park. South Danville, residence of Oscar Shultz; Danville, First Ward,court bouse ; Second Ward, store of A. Laliue ; Third Ward, Gear hart's store; Fourth Ward, corner 01' Bloom and Ash streets. The East Danville band has been engaged to furnish music at the picnic. "Have by some surgeon Shylock 011 thy charge to stop his wounds lest he do bleed to death. " People can bleed to death. The loss of blood weakens the body. It must follow that gain of blood gives the body strength. The strengthening efiect of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is in large part due to its action on the blood-mak ing glands and the increased supply of pure, rich blood it produces. It is only when the blood is impoverished and im pure that disease finds a soil in which to root. The "Discovery' purifies the blood and makes it antagonistic to dis ease When the hidy is emaciated, the lungs are weak, and there is obstinate lingering cough. "Golden Medical Dis covery puts the body on a fighting foot ing against disease, and so increases the vitality that disease is thrown off, and physical health perfectly and perman ently restored. It has cured thousands who were hopeless and helpless, and who had tried all other means of cure without avail. Twenty-one one-cent stamps to cover expense of mailing only will obtain a copy of Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, loos pages, in paper cover. Send thirty-one stamps if cloth binding is preferred. Address Dr. K V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. OLD TIIIEBS LOST IN TICIIIHTB The story ol' the game can be told in two innings. In the one Danville made all its runs and in the other Berwick clinched the victory. This is the tale of Tuesday's base ball contest at DeWitt's Park, between the "Old Timers" and Berwick. The visitors from the car town had a strong team and deserved the victory they took in the eighth inning."Three Fingered" Smith was in the box for Berwick and held Danville down to four hits. Bell was a trifle wild and was pounded for eight hits. The sixth and eighth innings really constituted the whole game. Danville did nothing until the sixth, the visitors having scored two runs by that time. With a whirlwind dash the "Old Timers" sent out four hits and tied the score. Hummer, who was first at li.tl, sliuei. out. Then Bell singled and took second on a hit by Holla. Yerriek struck out, but Bell was brought home on a hit of Amnier man's. Ross caught the leather and Hoffa trotted in. Donovan struck out, retiring the side. This was all very exciting and roused the enthusiasm of the audience to a high pitch. Both these runs were earned. The eighth was another matter en tirely as it was all Berwick's way. Brady got first on a hit, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and scor ed the winning run on an error by Ross. This coiled the game, the de tail of which is as follows: DANVILLE AB. R. H. O. A. E.

On Tuesday of next week, unless plans miscarry, a very interesting base ball game will he played in this city, the proceeds of which are to lie con tributed to the children's outing fund of Philadelphia. The plans as explain ed by Mrs. James Scarlet, the prime I,u lMi r i'f/sf'*vVarVr'.fuiiior na.se nan team made up of very little boys will challenge another juvenile team, not as yet decided upon, the game to be played on the date named above on the lawn at the rear of J. B. McCoy's residence, West Market street. Tickets admitting the holder to the game will lie sold in advance at lo cents. Hundreds of poor children of Phila delphia, many of them sick or crippl ed, are every summer given an outing ut the sea shore and the money for the purpose must be raised by just such or similar means as proposed above. In Philadelphia porch parties among children are a popular means of swelling the children's outing fund. It isemiiieully proper that the interest of the little boys and girls should be enlisted in this noble charity which lias as its object the relief of other children whose lines lie in the dark and unhappy places of earth. It will kindle within their bosoms the fires of sympathy unl help to make them charitable and self-sacrificing in dis position. Thus the little hoys will give away the entire proceeds of"the game. A kind and sympathetic public are reli ed upon to patronize the aft'air very liberally, as only a mite is required troni each. The game played by these little hoys are by no means void of interest as may be imagined. The con test next week, especially, will be worth witnessing. Natalie Sale Postponed. | I he sheriff's sale of the Natalie col liery, which was to take place yester day, has been indefinitely postponed. The company claims that it is not in solvent and will be able to pay the debts when coal is again put on the market. The attorneys for the credit ors consented to a postponement. The company officials say all the indebted ness will be liquidated when the col liery resumes. NEIGHBORLY ADVICE. Freely Given by a Danville Citizen. When one has suffered tortures from a bail back and found out how the aches and pains can be removed, advice is of untold value to friends and neighbors, particularly when they know the state ment is absolutely correct. The follow" ing neighborly advice comes from a Danville resident. Mr. Thomas Lewis, puddler,-of 513 Mill street, says"For years I had a lameness over my kidneys land aching in the small of my back. I used many remedies, trying lirst one thing and llien another,-but without beingJcnreil. I learned about I loan's Kidney Pills and read the statements made Ihy people who had used them and took according to directions.

The game of Friday afternoon, at lie-Witt's Park, lacked special feat ures and was not full of the snappy playing that makes happy the base ball enthusiast. Amnierman was not in his usual form, owing to an injury to his thigh, but he managed to put. up a good game. Maley's arm was "out' and his pitching was not up to the usual standard. The visitors made five errors, which 'of them tie- game. There were some good hits made, Yerriek and Coffmau having two-baggers to their credit, while Bingham knocked out a three bagger. In the last half of the third inning First Baseman B. Shaffer, of Blooms burg,had his left ankle sprained while sliding to second base. He was trying to get into the base feet foremost, when his left foot, caught and was turned. He had to retire and his place was taken by Richard Goodall, formerly of this city. Bloomsburg scored two of its runs in the third inning and added another in the sixth. Nothing more was done by tlieni in a run getting way until the ninth, when they put another man across the home plate. Danville made a good start in the second by scoring three runs. Two more in the seventh and one in the eighth made up their total of six. Tfie following detail score explains fully how the game was play ed : DANVILLE. AB. R II O. A. E. Gosh.

Thomas Hogan, a miner employed in the ill-fated soft coal mines near Johnstown where some 200 miners, Thursday, lost their lives through an explosion of gas, passed through Dan ville Friday afternoon on the way to his home at Nanticoke. To M. 11. , , - .uin.ii ouier townsmen who happened to be on the train lie explained how lie came to escape the terrible catastrophe, his deliverence being nothing short of providential. Hogan is an anthracite coal miner, who when the strike went into effect along with many others sought work in the soft coal region. For some time past he was employed in the ill fated Cambria mines. Oil Thursday lie received a telegram calling him to his home in Nanticoke. In response to this he came up out of the mine but had no more than reach ed the surface, when the fatal explos ion of mine gas occurred which dealt sure and terrible death to his fellow workers under the ground. Hogan remained.on the scene render ing what assistance he could until over 80 dead bodies, charred and soot begrimed by the deadly fire damp, were brought out of the mines and tak en to their homes. He describes the scene as distressing in the extreme. Hundreds of women,old men and chil dren hover around the mines,groaning in the agony of uncertainty and sus pense, or shrieking anil tearing their hair in a wild frenzy of woe as the mutilated features of a loved one are recognized in the mass of charred anil blackened bodies brought out of the mines. Hogan was so overcome by the spectacle that before leaving for home he sold his tools at a sacrifice, determined to have nothing more to do with soft coal mining. What makes Hogan's esoape all the more remarkable is the fact that just before the anthracite strike was declar ed while working in a Nanticoke mine lie escaped death in a most terrible form by only the breadth of a hair. An accident occurred in the mine and lie was imprisoned. Rescuers were at work, but he was far out of reach. The blackness ol' midnight was about him. Days passed and death by suffocation and starvation was staring him in tli.t face. At. last when the end was near at hand the rescuers reached liini and In- was led out into the light of day after having been imprisoned 08 hours. Experience such as Hogan's striking ly illustrates the perils which attend a miner's occupation. Don't Fail to Try This.

I A TUNNEL EPISODE [Original] Taking a train recently on the Erie railroad for New York, I entered a drawing room car and was assigned to fcffit No. S. Seat No. 4 was occupied by an eminently respectable gentleman with a gray mustache and No. 3 by a rosebud of a girl, whom I Judged was his daughter. She had the prettiest pair of blue eyes in the world, above which tumbled inartistic waves a muss of fluffy light hair. The vermil ion of her Hps was contrasted by a lit tle black patch the size of a silver Ave tent piece placed directly under a cor ner of her mouth. It seemed to be in securely fastened, for I noticed that she occasionally pressed her handker chief to it in order to make it stick. The father soon settled to his news paper, while the daughter seemed in disposed to settle to anything. She waa continually casting glances through the car, as if looking for some one, and .whenever the train stopped cast a quick glance at every one who came in. When the train moved on, she would fan herself restlessly till we made the uext stop. Presently at one of the stops n young man carrying a suit case got aboard and glanced through the car, and I saw his eyes meet those of the young girl. Though there was not the slight est sign of recognition, I knew at once that they had met before. Seat No. 1, next the lady, was vacant, and in a few minutes the porter had assigned it to the young man. The girl swung round so that her back was to him and addressed some words to her father, pointing out of the window, but I no ticed that her breath was coming quick and her face had lost some of Its color. The young man soon turned his back to all of us, took a novel from his suit case and began to read, but from the number of times he turned to glance through the glaBS beside him I judged that his attention was not fixed upon the book. Ills seat, the end one, was next a mirror, and it was not long before the girl, though his back was to ward her, was exchanging glances with him. A few miles from the terminus of the road ut Jersey City Is a long tunnel. Just before the train entered this tun nel the porter attempted to light the gas in the center of the car, but had only one match, which was extinguish ed before he succeeded. Plunging un der ground, we plunged also into total darkness. When we shot out into the light, the young couple were sitting back to back; but, horror of horrors, the patch on the face of the girl had been transferred to the mustache of the young man! This I could see by the mirror. I have been in that sort of danger myself and have u fellow feeling.for any one sim ilarly placed. The father was looking out of the window; the girl, uncon scious of the transfer of her patch, was sitting with her face toward him; the young man's face was exposed to any one who chose to look into the mirror. How could I communicate with the young man unobserved? I stared at his reflection, hoping to catch his eye, but he was so absorbed in the remem brance of the kiss he had stolen that his eye was not to be caught. Mean while the father faced his daughter and began to gather up their belong ings, his face being directly toward the mirror. Tapping him on the shoulder, I asked him by what means I had best reach the Grand Central depot in New iYork. While he was telling me I waa trying to catch the eye of the young man. This talking to the father and gesticulating at the young man at the same time were more diflicult than grinding an organ and dancing a mon . «»».*. I. t. l# HUIIO the train was rapidly Hearing the sta tion. Presently the young man arose to take his suit case from the rack above and saw by my expression that some thing had happened. I pointed to my upper lip and glared at him. He stood looking at me stupidly for a time, then put his hand to his face, and when he withdrew it the patch came also. At the moment the young lady noticed that something was wrong and, glanc ing from me to her lover, saw him looking at her patch on his hand. Oh, the crimson of roses, the carna tion of pink, the scarlet of poppiegl None of these was ever so beautiful aa the flush that came upon the cheek of this pretty girl. No patch was needed to make u contrast. It flamed against the ivory of her face, a banner of lov® unfurled to the gaze of all who chose to look. The young man rose to the occasion. Rushing up to me,he grasped my hand. "Why, John! Where did you spring from? Why didn't you let me knoy* you were on the train? Where do you stop in the city?" Between my replies I managed to Blip my card into his hand, anil he hur ried away after the father and daugh ter, who were by this time leaving the car. One morning, soon after, I received an invitation to (line with Mr. anil Mrs. Charles L. Chancey. I had forgotten the car episode and went to the dinner not knowing who were to be my hosts. When Mrs. Chancey received me in the drawing room, I recognized at once the girl of the black patch, and her husband proved to be the young man who had kissed her in the tunnel. It turned out that the man I had taken for the father was her guardian uud was scheming to marry her. liis plans were frustrated by the couple, who managed to elude him In a crowd be fore crossing the Hudson.

The home garden on the farm will bo appreciated most if it is not far from the kitchen, not only because the vege tables may be used fresher, but be cause tht; products of the garden will enter more largely into the daily bill ftf fare if they are within easy reach. A head of lettuce for breakfast, a dozen roasting ears for dinner or a few to matoes for supper will oftener freshen up the menu if near to the cook's hand. In planning for the garden a long rectangle in which plow and a horse cultivator can be easily used is consid ered the up to date and labor saving thing. In one such garden rows three feet apart, beginning at the east side of the garden and running lengthwise of the area, were laid out by means of a sled marker drawn by hand, a guide stake being placed at each end of the row to be laid out and one in the mid dle. Three rows were marked at a time, and the drills made by the run ners were of just the right depth for the planting of radishes, beets, onions and other small seeds. Where these small seeds were to be planted the rows were made only one and a half feet apart by straddling the marks al ready made, l'or planting the aspara gus roots and the potatoes furrows were opened with a one horse plow and fur the peas with the plow attachment 011 a wheel hoe. Itadislies were planted with the pars nips, parsley, salsify, onions, beets and carrots to mark the rows so that culti vation could begin before the plants from the slower germinating seeds be came visible. Asparagus, rhubarb, horseradish, cress, lettuce, spi: :<h, peas and early potatoes were included in this first planting. For the next planting late beets and carrots, cabbage and cauliflower. 1 cans (lima and saddleback wax), spinach, radishes, peas and sweet corn were put in. Later pepper and tomato plants were set out. A good part of the gar den was devoted to vine crops. The i ' v • *" rN A FARM GARDEN, rows were made six feet apart and the hills six feet apart for the cucumbers, summer squash and muskmelons and eight feet apart for the winter squash and watermelons. The garden furnshed a full supply of vegetables for winter use, as well us a continuous succession through the growing season. After harvesting the early crops late crops were planted upon the same ground. The cultivation of the late crop keeps the ground free from weeds. Cucumber beetles were controlled by spraying with bordeaux mixture and cabbage worms by spraying with white hellebore. Precaution. More One«»- work.
