He who raises his own garden vege
tables at least knows what he is eat
ing.
If you would live long and would
enjoy what life you do live, get close
to the soil.
The most effective way to enforce
the pure food law in your individual
case is to grow your own vegetables.
Before the human animal can do
anything worth while he requires study
and practice. This applies to raising
a garden as well as to paiuting a pic
ture.
There are artists in all professions,
even in digging ditches. There are
also duubers and blacksmiths in all
callings, and they fail alike in getting
the possibilities out of any vocation.
It has been estimated that a garden
of not more than seventy feet square
will supply a good sized family with
vegetables for most of the year. It
will?provided the one handling It
knows how to inuke a garden.
America has led the world In all
lines of "development but one?art. It
Is now her turn to excel in that also.
Art in this case applies not only to
tbe easel, the sculptor's chisel nnd the
stage, but to the builder and tbe gar
dener.
"Does a garden pay?" asks the very
practical person. It is according to
whose garden it Is. Some people can
make anything pay. and other people
well. are different if head work is
combined with muscle, the garden cer
tainly will pay.
Human beings have delved in the
soil since the days Jack Loudon writes
about in "Before Adam." It has be
come a racial habit. That is the rea
son the commuter hies himself forth
from the big town and raises his four
beds of lettuce and as many more of
radishes and onions in the suburbs.
in this world we cannot get some
thing for nothing. It is impossible to
take richness out of the ground unless
we put richness into the ground. If
you expect to raise a crop, use fer
tilizer. To make a garden without
manure is like making bricks without
straw.
Most people Imagine that the great- <
est nations of the world huve been
those that did the most fighting. An
examination of history will show, how
ever, that they have been the ones that
developed the most beautiful environ
ment?in architecture, in landscape, in
lawn and garden, in statue, painting
and song and linally In mind und soul.
There are people who imagine that
as soon as they can dig In the ground
and stick in a few seeds they can
make a garden. They regard it as
some sort of an Aladdin's lamp per
formance?they need only to rub tbe
earth and nature will do the rest
After about one or two seasons these
folks learn better. They find, as Is
found in every other thing in life, that
nature works only for those who work
for themselves and who know.

environment on tlie buman mind. No- -
ble, beautiful and artistic surround
ings should produce noble, beautiful
and artistic characters. The outward
world that most immediately influences
human beings is that surrounding the
home. Iiere we are most receptive
and most open to all that is highest i
und best. Who can tell what iutaugi- I
ble suggestions and modifications are
made by a mountain, a river or a
great tree on a soul that habitually
sees such an object? The improve- i
ment of lawn and landscape is thus a i
work for the development of buman
character. 1
i
Most of those who write about gar
dening have certain fixed times for
planting things, and a great deal of i
what is so written is misleading if i
followed literally. The proper time for
planting depends on the season, on the
? llmate and on so many other condi- i
tions that it is hard to lay down a |
general rule. It Is a truism that it is
better to sow your seeds too early than 1
too late. If they do not come up. it Is
easy to replant. Tomatoes, cabbage,
lettuce, cauliflowers and, the like 1
should of course be started In hot- I
beds and should l>e transplanted to
the garden as soon as warm weather is
assured?about the 1st of May In the 1 <
northern states and still earlier In the \
southern. Most vegetables grown dl- ,
reetly from seed should be In the
ground almost as soon as it can be
worked, usually In April. The best
rule, however. Is to Ih? guided by the , i
season nnd by your own judgment If
you accept advice, let It l>e from Iocs!

LANDSCAPE BEAUTY CRU8A0E
The* writer lias long folt that one of
the supreme no >ds of this country Is a
i impnign for the beautifying of land
scapes. lawns, highways, villages and
rities. Concretely stated, this need is
for a higher appreciation of the value |
of dowers, shrubs, parks aud land
scape gardening. Loosely aud In a
general way It may all be placed un
der the heud of horticulture, although,
strictly speaking, laudsca|>e gardening
Is a branch to Itself. The moment the
American people fully uwake to the
legibilities of this line of Improve
ment they will take up the work with
the same energy and success thc.t have
atteuded their efforts In other fields.
What Is now required Is to bring about
an awakening.
The writer has believed that some
one would do this, but never imagined
that he wonld have any part in the
work, feeling thut it should be curried
on by abler hands and by men who
knew more of the subject He con
fesses that In this branch he has more
theory than practice, more apprecia-j
tion than knowledge, but as practically j
all of us seem to be in the same boat
perhaps this does not bo much matter, j
Now that fate has seemingly thrown
it In his way to do a little of the work
that he Imagined was for others he
can only ask the co-operation of alii
those interested who may read this I
department. lie especially asks such
to write to him aud to lie free with
suggestions. The writer does not pre-j
tend to be an authority, but rather a
student. lie regards all his readers as
fellow students and invites them to
help him get up a helpful columu. The
chief need Is to arouse Interest in the
neglected branches of horticulture and
landscape gardening. Whutever will
stiinillntp whntnvnr will
prove Instructive, whatever will be of
practical benefit to those who are try
ing to beautify the externals of the
home, will l>e welcome. The name of
the writer of the column and his ad
dress will be found at the head of the
department. In writing please be as
brief as the subject will permit and. In
the stereotyped phrase of all editors,
"write only on one side of the paper."
There could be no more Important
crusade undertaken In this country. If
you appreciate the crying need of It
and wish to have some part In the
good work, this Is your opportunity.
The Important results that would
flow out of a movement for the beau
tifying of lawns, landscapes and parks
throughout the land can scarcely be
measured. In time It could not but
stimulate the kindred movements for
good roads, for more artistic archi
tecture, for the brightening and hu
manizing of rural and village life, and
in an indirect way would stimulate
art lu all branches. It would have an
important effect on the health of the
people In that It would take them more
Into the open air and would bring them
close to the soil. Pure air, sunlight
and Mother Garth, after all, are the
sovereign medicines.
Do not leave all this Important work
to rich men on their great estates.
Your little plot of ground has as many
possibilities as has the most extensive
private park. Grass, flowers, shrubs
and trees are as accessible to you as to
any. The rest depends ou yourself, on
your creative ability aud artistic taste,
lleuiember, every idea you gain and
every step of advancement you make
means the beautifying of your own
hoiue.
AN AMERICAN HORTICULTURE.
While frequent reference is made to
the forestry aud gardening of Euro
pean countries, it is not meant by this
to draw comparisons invidious to our
own methods, nor is it intended that
we should ape the older uations. Such
references are made ouly for the
puri>ose of stimulating us to our prop
er duty. The time will probably never
come in this country when gardeners
will carefully sweep the lawns, as is
the practice on many English estates.
Landscape is precious in England,
there is so little of it. Here we have
more profusion. America should de
velop her own horticulture, taking
proper ndvantage of tlie experience of
other lands. In the same manner she
should evolve her own system of for
estry. The great point is, however,
that she should move in these matters
now. .
Let us have our own, by nil means,
but let us have it. At present we have
nothing, or next to nothing. Let us
take the same interest In this that we
Jo In electing a president or making
$1,000, and there will be some results.
It Is n matter not one whit less Impor
tant than either of these.
Yet. after all, there is not the slight
est reason why we should be sensitive
about learning from the older nations.
Beauty is a universal quality, and
lowers, grass, trees and fruits belong
alike to ull Inhabitable climes. A tin*
lawn Is not a matter of politics or na
tionality; neither is a charming land
scape a thing to arouse provincial Jeal
ousy. What Is needed by most peoples
Is more breadth of view, and this ap
plies to gardening as well as to the
other affairs of life. Let us forget
prejudice long enough to learn the real
things common to all that make life
worth while.
It does not so much matter how we
get these things if we only do get
them. But that let us do. and speedily.
If God started mankind In a garden
and then drove them out, perhaps he'
Intended that they should make anoth-1
er garden of Eden after the original I
model, or he may have devised that'
they should change all the face of the |
land Into such.
Where Is a country more bounteously I
favored for remaking the original gar-'
den than here in America? We have |
taken the lead of the nations In so!
many things that we should be ashaui-1
ed to lag behind In this. But we are \
not going to lag behind We are Just j
makluj; up our .:. ... :o j> forward.
