LOTS OF STUFF FROM A SMALL GARDEN. From Jas. Koser, Abbott, Colo. I have wished lots of times for a good garden with lots of truck in it. This year, I have it, and this is the way I got it. First I got four seed catalogs, and out of the four I picked Henry Field's seed catalog and bought a few dollars' worth of seed of different kinds. After all danger of frost was over, I put in my garden, the last week in May, onions and pota- toes much earlier. _^ ^^Hi^. ^ -'^ v> I laid off ground for â ^â K ^ , > «-. the different kinds of seed I wanted to plant and put them in, and they all came up quick.

When they get up far enough, then begin to use the hoe and keep the ground well stirred, not too deep, and keep free from weeds, and with a fair per cent of rain you will sure gel a good profit.
