Garden Notes. 
May 2.—Jim plowed the garden and 
we put in two more rows of Ninety¬ 
fold potatoes. Curiously enough I had 
never cut potatoes for planting nor 
dropped them either, so I felt very awk¬ 
ward about the business at first. I cut 
about three eyes to a piece and dropped 
them in the furrow one piece to a hill 
about 20 inches apart. 
May 6.—Transplanted 75 lettuce seed¬ 
lings and sowed two rows of radishes in 
the asparagus bed. This was a warm 
morning and I covered the plants with 
berry boxes which let in plenty of air 
and arc convenient to handle. I have 
used old tin boxes, without thinking to 
punch holes in the bottoms, and instead 
of protecting plants, smothered them. 
The weather was dreadfully dry, and I 
had to water and shade the plants for 
many days, but it paid, for we had nice 
head lettuce when our neighbors had 
none. 
May 8.—Jim and I made garden. 
Sowed one row of parsley and two 
rows of tall nasturtiums, one double 
row of peas, American Wonder, Early 
Market and Advancer; two rows of 
onion sets and two rows of seed; one 
row of beets, Detroit Red and Egyp¬ 
tian ; one row of parsnips, and one row 
of carrots; set out 17 cauliflower plants, 
20 kohl-rabi and 16 early cabbages, also 
planted two rows of Golden Bantam 
corn. The rows of vegetables were 18 
inches apart. This was a grand day, 
for gardening, only the ground was too 
dry and continued so. I found so much 
joy in running a Planet Jr. hoe up and 
down between the rows even before 
some of the seed started that Jim said 
I scratched up most of the onions, car¬ 
rots and parsnips. They surely did 
make a poor showing. But we man¬ 
aged to have plenty of beets for our 
own use, all the onions we could use 
and enough of the other truck, but nq- 
surplus to sell. 
May 10.—Pansies coming into blos¬ 
som. Peach and cherry trees in full 
bloom. 
May 12.—Set out tomato plants. Need 
rain. 
May 16.—Fixed the rose bed and set 
out Petunias and carnations between 
the roses. Found the ground under 
top-dressing of manure (put on in the 
Spring) moist and full of angleworms. 
From one-half packet of Petunia seed 
I have a hundred plants. Peas planted 
on the 8th are up in spite of the dry 
weather. 
May 17.—Fixed bed for Asters and 
set out 40. 
May 18.—Set out more tomatoes, fine 
stalky plants from the cold frame, also 
replaced cabbage plants destroyed by 
cutworms. Thermometer 84 degrees in 
the sitting-room. Potatoes planted 
April 29 coming up. Golden Bantam 
corn planted the 8th inst. and beets and 
nasturtiums up. 
May 22.—Set out more tomatoes; 86 
degrees in the shade. Had our first 
Globe .radishes to eat. 
May 23.—Hunted cutworms and 
killed dozens. Thought I had a broketj 
back! Planted 14 hills of cucumbers 
putting a shovelful of manure in the 
bottom of each hill and sprinkling lime 
on top. By keeping lime on the plants 
until they commenced to run they made 
a steady growth. Sowed more radishes 
and cultivated with the Planet Jr. 
Helped Jim plant field corn and mother 
and I sprouted potatoes. 
June 2.—Planted yellow Pencil Pod 
beans. Set cabbage and kohl-rabi. 
June 5.—Thunderstorm in the after¬ 
noon. Fine evening. Jim and I pitched 
in and planted four kinds of squash: 
Delicious, Crook-neck, pie pumpkin and 
Hubbard; three or four kinds of water¬ 
melons and nutmegs. The ground was 
all ready and we hurried to get the seed 
in before another shower came up. 
June 8. Planted 73 hills of Lima 
beans. Kohl-rabi fit to eat. Young 
beets ready for greens. Lady Finger 
radishes the best ever. 
June 13.—Tied grapes and thinned 
Triumph peaches. 
June 26.—Fine rain. Planted sweet 
corn and mulched cucumbers with hay. 
Picked raspberries. Peas and kohl-rabi 
for dinner. Our planting season now 
about over. I have mentioned kohl¬ 
rabi several times. I like it. Tt comes 
a little earlier than cabbage or cauli¬ 
flower, is easily grown and nice to help 
out a mess of peas. 
I sold 15 pounds of the Pencil Pod [ 
wax beans at 10 cents a pound, a high 
price, for beans were very scarce. The 
Summer crookneck squash were very 
productive and well liked by visitors and 
neighbors. They must be picked young 
and tender; wash, cut in small pieces 
and stew, when done mash seeds, skin 
and all. Season well with butter, salt 
and pepper and serve hot. The melons 
were a failure, though wc did have 
some very small ones late in October. 
I shall plant again this season and hope 
for better luck. A good garden is 
worth fifty dollars a season to any fam¬ 
ily for their own use, yet there are 
many country people who declare a gar¬ 
den is too much bother and “it’s cheaper 
to buy.” If the people who find it 
cheaper to buy would buy as liberally 
for their tables, as one who raises vege¬ 
tables will supply his table the market 
gardeners couldn’t begin to supply the 
demand. docia dykens. 
A Southern Recipe for Curing Pork. 
The following recipe was given to 
the agricultural department of the Rock 
Island road by Professor Mobley of 
Arkansas. It is said to have been tested 
by hundreds of people in the Southern 
States, where it has given better satis¬ 
faction than other methods: 
A day should be selected for killing 
when the temperature is low enough to 
insure a thorough cooling by the fol¬ 
lowing morning, the hogs being dressed 
and hung over night. On the morning j 
of the day the hogs are killed, for each 
400 pounds of meat make a brine as 
follows: 20 gallons of rain water; 30 
pounds of salt; eight ounces of baking 
soda; 10 pounds of brown sugar; one 
gallon of molasses (use good molasses, 
not the adulterated kind). This fluid 
should be boiled and skimmed in the 
morning and left to cool in a shady 
place. When cool, add five ounces of 
saltpeter. Dissolve the saltpeter in 
warm water and stir thoroughly. The 
following morning cut up the hogs as 
usual, and pack in barrels. Put the 
sides of the meat or middlings in the 
bottom and the shoulders next, and the 
hams on top of these, all with the skin 
side down. Weight the meat down well 
and pour the brine over until the meat 
is completely covered. Then cover the 
ton of the barrel with some good thick 
covering that will prevent evaporation. 
Look at the meat often enough to see 
that the brine has not evaporated so as 
to leave any meat exposed. If it should 
become exposed more brine should be 
added. The meat can be left in the 
brine indefinitely, but if it is desired to 
smoke the. meat, it should be taken out 
in about six weeks.

COFFEE HURTS 
One In Three. 
Tt is difficult to make people believe 
that coffee is a poison to at least one 
person out of every three, but people 
are slowly finding it out, although 
thousands of them suffer terribly be¬ 
fore they discover the fact. 
A New York hotel man says: “Each 
time after drinking coffee I became 
restless, nervous and excited, so that 
I was unable to sit five minutes in one 
plnce, was also inclined to vomit and 
suffered from loss of sleep, which got 
worse and worse. 
“A lady said that perhaps coffee was 
the cause of my trouble, and suggested 
that 1 try Postum. I laughed at the 
thought that coffee hurt me, but she 
insisted so hard that I finally had some 
Postum made. I have been using it in 
place of coffee ever since, for I noticed 
that all my former nervousness and 
irritation disappeared. I began to sleep 
perfectly, and the Postum tasted as 
good or better than the old coffee, so 
what was the use of sticking to a 
beverage that was injuring me? 
“One day on an excursion up the 
country I remarked to a young lady 
friend on her greatly improved appear¬ 
ance. She explained that some time be¬ 
fore she had quit using coffee and 
taken Postum. She had gained a num¬ 
ber of pounds and her former palpita¬ 
tion of the heart, humming in the ears, 
trembling of the hands and legs and 
other disagreeable feelings had disap¬ 
peared. She recommended me to quit 
coffee and take Postum and was very 
much surprised to find that I had al¬ 
ready made the change. 
“She said her brother had also re¬ 
ceived great benefits from leaving off 
coffee and taking on Postum.” “There’s 
a reason.” 
Ever read the above letter ? A new one 
appears from time to time. They are genu¬ 
ine, true, and full of human interest.
