LEniiEB T,ttt-kt ad cTDA-nT-Nra NTCHESSARY TO PUT THE More Finely Pulverized the Soil Better Results in Success- ful Crops Don't Work Ground Too Soon, as Clods and Bumps Are Hard to Till , , By JOHN BARTRAM THVEfJ ground, or gtounrt with a ellght U slope to the south, is best for me nome garden. If the ground Is not level It can be made of uniform surface by plowing and harrowing, In case the plot It large enough to warrant the use of a horse, or by spad Ing and raking thoroughly if there Is not room for a plow. ADVANTAGES OV PLOWIA'O l-lowlng, wherever feasible. Is the more desirable, for It saves a good deal of one of the laborious processes of home garden Ing. taking less time nt a period when every minute Is valu ih'c nnd much Is to be done, and In general expedites the work. A plot fifty by fifty feet w-lll bo plowed and harrowed for a couple or dollars, larger areas cost moro proportionately. Doub o plowing Is worth while. Tho ground Is plowed In tho fall In heavy ridges and manure applied. Action of tho elements during the winter has a valuablo mechani cal effect on the cloda, and In addition to tho disintegration tho nutritious ingredients of the fertilizer have a "chance to enrich the e-irth by scoping through during the alternate frcc7es and thaws of tho season Little of it Is lost by evaporation at this season The t ntlie mass is plowed under in the spring operation, which is In opposite direc tion to that of the fall The cross plowing should be- deep enough to turn down the manure The flti-t plowing should be deeper the furrow should cut the subsoil.

DEFINITION' OF'A GOOD JOB He sure that you get a cood Job. All tlm shirks nnd beats are not In the city, and It may happen that' your man knows lmw to cut nnd cover so that the Job looks good, but Isn't. A skllllul plowman can take furrows w-ldei than can be turned entirely, but he loses In depth what ho saves In time and gains In w ldth. It Is useless to plow velicti the boll Is stiff and wet. Much better even If a trifles later, results are attained by waiting till tho ground Is fairly dry and m a condition to be worked Into mellowness The mole finely pulverized the soil the better Is germination and development: ulods from premature plowing are hard to break up and an annoj-ance and chaw-back all bejeon. crrvrtmn or sweet peas It Is not too lato lb plant bweet peas, even though tho traditional date Is St. Pat rick's Daj.

Do not hesitate to plan some even during tho next two or three weeks. Of course the blooming period will bo a bit later, but If thoie Is good cultiva tion following careful planting the blooms will be plentiful all summer. Ono ounce of seed Is needed foi twenty feet of rows. There are Innumerable va rieties a catalogue should be consulted fot colors and tj-pes. There are two grand divisions, the standatd and the giant tlow eilng orchid Spencer t)pc. The latter have a wider tange of delicate colors and the Hon el's are often (luted, waved or flmbrl oated. Either kind can be bought In small packets or good mi 'ures are obtainable for varied blooming. It Is a good Idea to buy several varieties and plant each eoloi sep arately but In a continuous row, begin ning with tho white and talking pale pink, rose, reds and so on to tho rich purples.
