THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 



ing off such vegetables as are to be stored in the 

 cellar for winter use. A scaffolding of lath, erected 

 just out of the way of one's head, will be found 

 invaluable for drying onions, and will double the 

 capacity of the shed. 



Another feature of moment in the selection of 

 a garden site is the nearness and availability of the 

 water supply. Where one has city water the prob- 

 lem is simple the water may be carried to the 

 garden; but where this does not exist the garden 

 must be carried to the well or a home system of 

 water established. This may be accomplished sat- 

 isfactorily by the erection of a wind-mill operated 

 through a three-way pump, which will convey 

 water to any point in the ground. Even the mill 

 may be dispensed with and water carried to a 

 stand pipe supplied with a hose and nozzle, whence 

 it may be distributed about the garden as needed. 

 It is necessary, however, in installing a force pump 

 of any make to know just what you are getting, 

 and not find one's self encumbered with a pump 

 which it is a punishment to work or one with in- 

 sufficient force to throw a reasonable stream of 

 water.
