My garden is near two tall electric towers which cast light within the fence. I often weed and water after tea by this brilliant light, and can work much more comfortably than in the sunlight. Another handy thing is fifty feet of hose; this fastened to a penstock gives me a grand shower. One of my garden comforts is a light, strong wagon than can be pulled about among the garden beds. It is loaded with weeds or flower pots, and putting in baskets or a light spade, we pull it into the woods and fields when we go for nice soil. Another handy thing is a slip bed. It is close to the house and is watered every day. It receives bits from bouquets or pieces pulled off here and there, especially from geraniums when in bloom. Another of my handy things is a large tin pail with a spout that will hold the manure tea and send it down to the roots. I also have a rough potting table close to the fence, and several baskets and trowels to seize when walking down the garden for the weeds. - Sister Gracious.

At this season of the year more fire is needed, and vegetables grow more rapidly, a temperature of 500 in the night and 700 in the day being a good one to maintain in a vegetable house for such things as lettuce, dandelion, spinach, cress and radish.

Tomato seed for plants for spring setting sow in February, and seeds of cabbage and celery in March. Flats made from soap boxes sawed open, three inches in depth, and filled with rich soil, are capital things in which to sow seeds, as they can be moved out or in doors, or placed where desired. - W.
