How dull it is to pause, to make an end, To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use I As tho' to breathe were life. Life piled on life Were all too little, and of one to me Little remains: but every hour is saved From that eternal silence, something more, A bringerof new things;, and vile it were For some three suns to store and hoard myself.

Much care should be taken , in the selection -of .a..place for the plant bed. A bed should be sown in as warm a place as pos sible, that is should be sown in a hollow or near a branch between two hills; so as to prevent as much cold winds from striking tho bed. Where the morning sun will strike it as early as pos- cihln Xn qVioIa ctimilf? Ka ol. sible, all day long, I would ad vise the nine foot wide bed, for this reason: In weeding or pull ing.the.plants to transplant, you can reach from each side to the center of the bed, thereby pre- venting getting on a wider bed .,...,.. wun your leei, wnicn is very in- least 8inches deep. This should bo done in the month of Feb. or the first part of March. Much care should be taken to thor oughly work up the "soil, getting it as loose as possible, removing all stones, bard clods and roots or grass turf that might be left in tho soil. Next comes the burn ing of the bed. This should be doue the latter part of Fob. or the first half of March; the wood should be cut about 10ft long and should be placed evenly across one end of the bed. ac cording to tho way the wind is blowing. Never try to burn against the wind. The fire should bo kindled clear across tho end and wood placed on as you burn. Get a small pole about 10ft. long with a torked end to roll the burning wood and fire brands with. Keep placing wood and brush on in this way until the bed is thoroughly burned, then take a good garden rako and thoroughly mix the ashes and soil together.
