For Earlj Vegetables. Many of our wide awake boys and girls would like to have mess of early vegetables for two weeks ahead of their neighbors if they knew how. Some things ike corn, for instance, will not stand transp lanting when start ed in boxes in the house. But corn and some other things may be successfully handled in the bllowing manner: Take old tin cans and melt the tops and bot toms off, and at the same time, melt the seam up the side of the cans. Slip the bottom on again but without solder, and tie string around the can to hold it in shape. , Three weeks before time to plant sweet corn, plant four grains of seed in each tin, and when they come up, (if al come up) cut away the smallest stalk, leaving three good healthy plants. When wanted to set out in the garden, dig holes as deep as the cans, carry the cans to the holes, hold them near the bot torn of the holes, slip off the bot toms, place the cans in the holes and cut the string, and pack soi around them. The can will then spring loose, and it can be gent y lifted up without in the least disturbing the roots, and the corn will continue to grow. Try it it i3 an easy way to "fool" corn, pumpkins and other plants School Report, Laidig school, fifth month, end ing February 4th. Number of pupils enrolled: males, 11; fe males, 8; total, 17.
