The Boer Gibraltar, Which Bailer in to Assault. t 1 London,.January 25?4.15 A [ ' M.?The morning papers went to ? press with conjectures and lore- j casts of all sorts, striving to guess ( out something from Spion Kop. t Spion Kop is the highest part 1 of a rocky platevi. East ward for ? eight miles are the Boer positions 8 along the Tuegela. North west- i ward from Spion Kop the plateau | runs gradually up to a great spur j of the Drakensberg. j Gen. Buller's infantry, to reach the summit of Spion lvop, must 1 cross a natural glacis three-quar ters ol a mile wide and climb five > hundred feet up a steep slope. Nobody seems to know, not - ' t even the war office, what Lord v Roberts has done with his large j reinforcement. Six thousand ( | troops awaked his arrival at Cape 1 + f . ToWn and since then six thous 1 and others have reached t here. ( Military critics are all hoping ( that a good share of these 12,000 i have gone to help Gen. Roller, t and they argue that a few days ' wait may make him strong enough to overcome the deadlock. There are nineteen thousand troops at sea, and this heavy weight, on the British'side is ex- j . pected to destroy the equilibrium now existing on every field ??l op .. orations. \ L The British losses up to date in j Killed,wounded and captured, ac- ? cording to (?en.

Many a tenant farmer makes 1 no effort to raise enough to supply his own, let alone furnishing 1 any other table with the vegetables that may be raised on a 1 farm with but little extra work. 1 The writer is one of the class Known as oook tarmers, and al though but a tenant farmer, has had a very fair share ot success, as his neighbors will attest. What ' money he has made over and above the rent and living expenses has been solely from the surplus ol vegetables sold to local customes. Many of them farmers This is a dairying section, but he has given up dairying, and devoted the time used in carting milk to the creamery, to his garden, only keeping the cows neces sary to supply the house with milk and butter. The family for nine months of the year averages six, the other three, June 15 to September 15th, from thirty to thirty five. Readers will say that is a large family, but most of them are of that most particular class known as city boarders, who require nothing but the best and pay as little as the farmer will take them for per week. After supplying the table with a variety of vegetables the surplus nf L'ftOfl VPCOlnhloc nnl r.nllo n wv. ? v^wi* il?/l 111 U I sold. He finds that culls are t he I bane of vegetable dealers, and good vegetables the secret of success of some sellers. From $75 to $125 worth annually are sold with but little extra trouble. To bo successful with a garden several important factors of sue may be noted. 1st, The soil. It should be deep, mellow and loose in lex turn; a sandy loam is to be pre forred, ami should be quite tree from stones. 2nd. An abundance of well rotted manure thoroughly ineor porated with the soil, and if pos I sible, a lair amount of suitable I fertilizer containing ammonia and nitrogenous matter to hasten tlie 1 igroth of the vegetable. 3rd. Thorough stirring of the ground, everlastingly keeping at j I I, ?.1. . u. ii win no miicn to insure sue cess. If the plat of ground is somei what longer than usual and not ; so wide so that the rows are long, time will he saved in the eultiva 11ion with a horse. The writer's garden is rather mire than an acre and a half, including the 1 ground devoted Id sweet corn, i It slopes somewhat to tin-southeast, a parallelogram in shape, I the rows running lengthwise. Smaller vegetables are planted I in rows 28 incite* apart with a I RISE. 0 NO. 87 Leaking Powder dre cious and wholesome w CO., wiw vow*. I'lanet Jr. drill, while sweet, corn, pole beans, etc., are planted in hills by hand, and in rows, but further apart. A succession of the earlier maturing vegetables is planted to secure a longer 3eason. The profit in the sale of vegetables is in the early and late crops, and not when every one else has a supply or their own. Thus he has early and late vegetables growiutc in his garden. On the selection of seed depends much of the success. Seed obtained from first class seedsmen is much to be prefered to that saved from one's garden. Most of the seed the writer uses is obtained from A m. Henry . ' Maule while some is obtained from W. At lee Burpee, both of Philadelphia. From the experience of several years the following varieties are profitable to use here: Beans?Bush?Saddleback Wax; Davis' Kidney Wax and Early Valentine. I'ole?Golden Cluster. Beets?Early and medium Eclipse and Market Gardner; late or Winter u?o, Market Gardner and Long Blood. Cabbage?Early, Allhead and Early York; medium, Surehead ; late and Winter use, Danish Bollhead. Carrots? Early, Chantenay; for Winter and stock, Yellow Belgian. Celery does not do well on this soil so do not raise it. here. Cauliflower?Maul's Earliest is very trust wort hv. Cucumbers?White Spine and Long Green, the lirst for early and the latter for pieki: i? mi. . mii;. \>??i 11?.uauie s earliest loj about three plantings, and Stowell's Evergreen lor later successions. Lettuce?Morse and Iceberg. Melons do not mature here. Onions?Prizetaker lirst and last and no other kind as they are the mildest and best. Parsnips? Uuernsey has been tbund very good. Peas?Earliest and Nott's Excelsior of the low type. Telephone of the climbing varieties. Peppers?Unity King. Radishes ?Scarlet Turnip and French Ureaklast for early; later varieties do not pay to grow. Squash ? Yellow Crockneck and Hubbare. Tomatoes?Fordhook tor early.

Any tenant farmer with a lit tie gumption and a fair local market can do as well as the writer, and manv so located may realize more from an acre or two of well cared for garden than the rest ol t he farm.
