the Chinese completely out of the market. Why cannot the same 

 be done here ? I have no doubt it will in time, as our vast area of 

 swamp and other gardening land becomes appreciated at its true value. 

 There is at the present time, and will be for many years to come, 

 more than a competence for the intelligent vegetable grower, and 

 when I say intelligent, I mean the man who will not be content to 

 fiddle about with a spade and hoe, but will go into the business on a 

 large scale, using horse power as much as possible and hand labor as 

 little as possible. As this chapter is intended to deal chiefly with the 

 house garden of the settler it is not necessary to say more about soil 

 than that a light fertile loam should be selected for the garden. No 

 matter how rich it may be naturally, the more manure that is applied 

 the better, if the best of vegetables are wanted. Liberal applications 

 of well-rotted stable manure aided by artificial manures should be 

 made after each crop is removed. If the soil is of a stiffish nature 

 the ground should be ploughed or dug very deeply, and in the 

 vegetable garden sub-soiling or trenching will be found to pay. In 

 matter of implements illustrations are given of a handy little garden 

 plough, turning a furrow 5 x 10 inches and costing 3.

 AND PLOUGH ; COST 2 158.
