X ucsua I .-lpi i> ? . - . W The Home Vegetable (iardon. HF The essential things to bo consid^red in the home gard-en are; location, planning, preparation aad cultivaIP tion, fertilization and equipments. In locating the garden the question of its nroximitv to the house is of vast importance, for naturally most j : fcuents which could not be taken ad-j Br vatage of if the garden were located of the work is done during spare mor a half mile from the house. Other things being equal, the general lay % of the land determines to a consider able extent the earliness of the crops. Well-drained land, sloping gently to the South or Southwest, is prefera-j ble for the production of early vegetables. Wind barriers, such as hills, t woods hedges, tight board fences, etc., on the North or Northwest produce very much the same effect. Choose a location that is well drained or tile r drain it after it has been chosen. If circumstances will permit, make the rows long, thereby saving time in turning and economizing land. Grow vegetables in. rows long enough and wide enough to permit cultivation by horse and wheel hoe. If the rowsj are long it may oe necessary iu piaun more than one kind of vegetable in the same row, in which case it is ex-J ceedingly important that they arej ^ compatible?that is, they require the m same general treatment and practical-1 r ly the same growing season. The; Tv?7.ar.njoic cup/h c\c asnarasus. rhu-! tuuiuio, ^v?v?A www w barb, etc., should be planted at one side where they will not interfere with the cultivation of the other crops. The larger growing plants, as corn, \ late cabbage and potatoes may be ! planted together on the side of thej garden. Of course these suggestions| F? are general, since frequently there; are conditions over which the garden-! er has little or no control. Sometimes j I I there is a decided variation in the! . j. character of the soil in the same gar- j V den. This, as well as any other local condition, ought to be taken into consideration in arranging for the location of the various crops. For example, if a part of the garden be low.; moist and cool, this place should not be planted to earlv crops, which rev... r quire a quick warm son uut suumu "be reserved for onions, celery etc. A rotation of crops, manures and tillage should be practiced on the garden, as well as on the general farm. It is doubly important to rotate if diseases and insects become serious on any one crop. In a rotation to eradicate diseases and insects, the great est care should be take to select tnose f crops on which these particular pests cannot thrive. For example, the potato "scab" will live on such plants as, turnips. radishes and rutabagas. There are some pests, however, which cannot be starved out in this manner on so small a place as the garden. In " * ' *- ^ '?? Art r? a case of this Kma, it is usuanj tucap-, er to plant that particular crop and others on which this pest would exist on a different part of the farm until the pest has been starved out of the ^ garden. Time and labor will be saved by making the garden soil deep, fine and jich before planting. It is not suf that thd land be smooth on rJiVicav vuuv v?.v I top, but the pulverizing process should extend as deep as the plowing, for few things are more detrimental! to the delicate roots of the small plants than clods and air spaces, both of which are results of poor preparation. By harrowing thoroughly before' and after plowing, the land can be putj - in excellent physical condition. A j ? av M Vmfrtpa ! deep, tnorougn piepai ancm . planting and frequent, shallow culti- j ration after planting is necessary for j test results.' The. fertilizer used influences to a marked degree the character and quality of the vegetables produced. > Barn yard manure is undoubtedly the j m? best for this purpose, but care should; be taken to see that it is well rotted and contains no elements that would 0 be injurious to the soil. An excess j W of such things as saw dust, shavings,i 1 etc., which do not rot quickly, have a tendency to produce sourness in th? soil, which is detrimental to practically all garden vegetable. Even j Tvhen barnyard manure is used, it is i usually economical to supplement it with a good high-grade commercial I fertilizer with a greater per cent, of m potash than is required "by the general J field crops. Under ordinary condiditions, a fertilizer with an analysis of 3 per cent, nitrogen; 8 per cent, phosphoric acid; 8 or iu per cem. potash, would he found to give excellent results in a vegetable garden. Nitrate of soda hastens tile growth of f such early crops as asparagus, rhubarb, lettuce, etc. Hard wood ash is one of the best sources of potash, provided it has not been exposed to rain. Bp* Lime while not directly a fertilizer, often produces beneficial results when applied to garden soils, especially if the ^nd has a tendency to sourness. By use of hotbed and cold frame (without which no garden is complete)' the vegetable season could be I I lengthened at both ends. The hotbed ! consists of an enclosure covert J with sash (in some case cloth is substi tuted 1 jr glass and supplied with some \ form of artificial heat to keep the soil | warm and in condition to favor plant I growth. Usually fermented stable i manure is used for this purpose. The cold frame is a hotbed without the artificial heat. In preparing the hotbed, have the manure thoroughly mixed and fined. Put in a bed of manure . ~ ^ - --1 +v>,*o ciOOUt S or IV liiCIied LUi\_lV, iuio about 5 or 6 inches deep with clean garden 6oil. After the bed has been prepared, let the heat come down to 80 degrees F. before planting the seed. After the plants are up, the hotbed should be ventilated during the forenoon of warm days by raising the sash on the opposite side from the wind. Water on bright days during; ? ? 1? rvT .1 f ^ rtO-n the morning omy. oume \sCU1 j be grown to maturity in hotbeds orj cold frames, while others are started in them and transplanted to the open when outside conditions are favorable. There are but few things more necessary to a garden than a hotbed. m . Something1 About Storms. Spartanburg Journal. On this side of the equator we call j the storms which originate far to j the south cyclones. They are 002 to! 1,000 miles wide. They are called; hurricanes in the West Indies. They' may not be violent, especially when j they are wide. When they pass over' the gulf they are deflected to the northeast and often move up the At. i lantic coast. Sometimes tney lurn i towards Louisiana and give the gulf coast a lashing. When they strike the mouth of the Mississippi th-ey generally turn to the 1 northeast. That is what the last ! cyclone did. The one last Sunday. >iqvo hppn fiOO miles wide. as Ill U o C uu ? v/ ? it passed up through the States. | Along with these cyclones are devel-; oped tornadoes which move in small-1 er circles.

Newspapers and photographs were picked up. In a day or two it was known that a tornado had struck 1 Pickens county and some' houses, were blown down. Sometimes these tornadoes are whirled through the air and do not touch the earth. When that is the | case they make a noise similar to trains of cars rolling on aerial tracks. Here in this part of the State we are reasonably safe, for these storms sel dom develop up close to the mountains. Galveston (Texas) News.

PLASTS THAT GIVE LIGHT. Some Animals Also Shed Strange Glow in the Dark. /j-K-oiipr thp nhenomenon JL U IUC VU? .. r | of animal phosphorescence is rarely if jever presented. ! Still in spite of its apparent rarity | animal phorphorescence is a common occurrence in likely localities, says, the Boston Herald. It is of wide distri-1 bution, being seen in the high Alpine' snows, in the deepest oc?a:i valle.'s, I j while the property of emitting light is possessed by bird, beast and fish. Very few of the higher animals are phosphorescent, but notable exceptions are the night heron and blue crane, i These birds have been observed repeatedly, and there is little doubt that ? * on thp me greasv paancs ui uv *? breast and thighs are visibly luminous up to a distance of fifty yards. A hunter states that in a heron he shot, the light was as bright as a hand lantern, and that his gun sights were plainly visible against it. The light quickly disappeared alter death and does not recur. The eyes of certain monkeys ar^ sufficiently bright in co:^:>lete darkness + ~ ill?rviinoto nhiofto within ;i radillS i of a foot. This is a different phenomenon from th-? brilliant eyes of a cat, which shine only by abwbii'.? anJ reflecting light near at hat-c.. Many flowers and plants have ftKeorvoH tn hp luminous for UCCI1 \J UCi, i ivu ~ w short periods after sunset. The flowers of the nasturtium possess a lightninglike phosphorescence. Common marlgolds sometimes have an aura of pale golden yellow that play from petal to petal, and smoky finishes of green flame have been seen on the scarlet "? - f* xl Til,,. long-haired poppy, severai 01 me mj family are luminous in very dry weather. Many bushes also give out light. Decayed and fungoid wood is also "fox fire." On one occasion some of this was used for a camp fire, and j " 11 * ' ? ^ n-oro I many or xne DroKen nagmcmo scattered over the ground where the men were sleeping. The fire died out during the night and one of the party awoke, and in his fright awoke the rest, who were equally terrified, believing that they were lying among live coals. Many reasons have been assigned as the cause of animal and vegetable lu minosity, but until recently none had been put forward that were worthy of consideration. The recent researches on radio-activity have shown that within the atom lies a mighty force that man has not succeeded in utilizing. So tremendous is the latent energy that were it possible to loose only a part of it. a boy, by turning a crank, could manufacture sufficient electrical energy to drive the engines of London's countless workshops and factories. Radium owes its wonderful proper ties to the fact that its atoms are in a state of decay, and the disintegration produces a certain amount of energy. It has been thought that to some creatures the secret of using this interatomic energy has been revealed, with the result that they can transform the light. FREEMAN WRIGHT KILLED. Slain by R. 3T. Railey at Great Falls. ?Latter Taken in Custody. Chester, March 25.?R. M. Railey i shot Freeman Wright in the heart early this mo'rning, betw-eeen 7 and 8 o'clock, just as he stepped off the bottom step leading from the Republic mills at Great Falls.
