It has remained for the town and

that are attractive from curbstone to
alley. They have educated children
to have a proper regard not only for

when they deface its walls, break
windows, pull up its flowers and de-

Curious Old English Custom.
Siflue strange old customs are still
/ibserved in England. Some seven]
hundred and fifty people assembled
the other Saturday afternoon in the
i-illage of Tichborne, near Irlesford,
In Hampshire, to receive among them
700 gallons of flour—the historic Tich-
borne "dole." Before the distribution1
Itev. Father O'FJ^-nn. chaplain to the
'amily, blessed the flour and explained
ihe history of the "dole." The origin
Df the custom, he said, was some-
what vague. An old ballad related
how in the time of the "wys and
vertuous Prins Henry H," the l^ady
of Tichborne just before she died(
crawled round a square of land, still
marked out, which she said should be
levoted to the needs of the ooor.

Give the late-sown grain a formalile-
jhyde bath, and raise better bushels and
more of them.
Clover seed is one of the most pront
able crops the farmer can grow if his
land is suitable for clover
Potatoes should never be planted on
low moist land, as the potatoes are
sure to be soggy when cooked
If you want nice winter beets, plant
early beet seed In July and the roots
will mature before cold weather cornea
Harrow as you plow, and keep bar
rowing after the grain is up.
Don't neglect to plant flweet corn
at least three times—si* Is better
Dry gravelly soil will produce well-
flavored. thin-skinned, floury pota-
toes, and a rich clay loam the largest
yield.
Cabbage does not begin (o "head up
until cool weather comes, and early
plants do not make as fine heads as
those set later.
Cabbage needs cultivating very often
during the summer This causes It to
put out broad leaves, which will bring
big heads in the fall.
Most people set out their late cab
bage plants too early In the season
About the Fourth of July is a good
! time and early enough.
Plant radishes a few at a time and

ishes are good for the stomach.
' When you plant canteloupes sow a
bit of radish or turnip seed in the hill.
