Cure of the Garden.
If the gavden is thoroughly under
drained, as it always ought to be, it
should be fall plowed in ridges and
the ?uifaee left rough, so as to expose
the soil as much ns possible to
freezing. This is the more necessary
because the garden is uhvnys a shel
tered spot, where snow lies much of
the wiater.80 thru there are fer times
wheu th? sil freezes very deeply.
The garden is always the richest spot
on the farm. It idten is what the
Scotch farmers call "much midden"
or heavy w ith manure. It needs the

The Art of Comjf-1fmntln.
Compliments are the poetical touches
which redeem the monotony of prosaic
existence. In the Intercourse of sym
pathetic people they have a natural
place, and It Is as pleasant to recog
nize by word or look the charms of out
friends as It Is to profit by them, rront
w-e do, undoubtedly, as all that makes
life fnlrcr makes It better, and a whole
some discernment of good traits must
add to our faith In human naturo and
Its capabilities. Kigld moralists do
dare that compliments are so akin to
flattery that It Is wrong to use praise
In any way. This Is "most Intolerable,
aud uot to bo endured," for all need
both to s'o and receive encourage
ment In this practical and hurrying
world. And, reprehensible as hard na
tures And It. there is a charm In open
ing our eyes to the attractions of others
nnd a warm, healthy gloxv accom
panies the utterance of words which
attest our admiration.
