, Lay Tour foundation First, Here comes a youngster with the question, ques-tion, "How shall 1 get into vegetable gardening?" ; Well, it is a very simple thing. How -would you begin to build a smoke house? Why, of course, begin at the bottom. - All right So it is with a garden) you must begin at the bottom. Now the bottom of a garden is never less than ope foot below the surface, and from that dopth up. to the top the soil must be at least one-quarter manure to begin with, and must be kept np by yearly renewals to that proportion. If yon have got a multiplication table, a slate and pencil and a good, sound head on your shoulders (you 'will want all these in' growing vegetables) you can soon find out how much manure it will take to lay the foundation. Mix in all through that foot of depth, and then you can build any kind of a crop on your land you choose. Lay your foundation, young man, and we will tell you how to put up the structure afterward.
