The onions and 'lettuce were ready to use about the last of June. How proud I was to bring in the first of them to my mother. About this time the tomato plants were beginning to bud. The leaves of the cabbage which I had transplanted about the same time were beginning to fold up and form a head. The cu- cumbers were just flowering, that is, little yellow blossoms were coming on them. These little blossoms soon withered but from them the cucum- ber developed. My garden was a great:success. I resolved that another year I should try to have even a better one. I had learned much in one year regarding the growth and care of these plants and had provided my home with fresh vegetables which we would not have had otherwise. --Patricia Doran, Form I.

Then, as if in answer to my query came the ery, "Produce more and save more." It was then I thought of cultivating a little plot which for years had been used as a lawn; and to raise a war garden. . v My father and brothers agreed to share with me 'the work of my gar- den. They ploughed and cultivated the ground so that when the weather was warm enough my plot wad™n 'ex- cellent condition. Early in the spring I had bought two packages each of tomato and cabbage seeds. These I knew must be planted early for their growth is slow. I prepared small boxes of earth and set them in the sun. In one of these boxes I planted my cabbage seeds and in the others the tomato seeds. I planted the tomato seeds about two inches apart for these plants are very tender. In about two weeks I could see my tomatoes and cabbage beginning to come up. I waited two more weeks before I transplanted them. When they were in boxes I kept them in the bright sun and watered them after the sun went down. This made them come up very quickly. About the last of May I lifted them very carefully and laid them in hills which I had made with the hoe in thé garden. After 1 planted the tomatoes=l put up small sticks so the tomatoes could twine up around thém. This was a great benefit to the tomato plant because it is weak and cannot support alone the heavy tomatoes. My first work In the garden was tor measure off the plots. I made a little path along the sides of each and heap ed up the earth on each plot. Then I smoothed the bed for the onions and for the lettuce and marked off the rows. In these rows I planted the lit- tle onions and thé lettuce seeds. I did ~pot plant the radish and parsnips until the last of May because they are seeds which germinate quickly. In: a space of a quartér of an acre I planted the two packages of radish seeds. Then I planted the parsnips rémains taken to Cataraqui for inter- ment. « At Bunker's Hill.

He pulled a parcel out of his pocket in which there were three fish, He said, "If we can cook those for supper we will have great fun." Hoface held them over the fire and they got all burned. While they were doing this Prudy strolled away. When they found she had gone, they became very much frightened. They started on their journey to find her right away, A colored man who was around and who often visit- ed the neighbors.found Prudy. He picked her up and carried her to the place of the picnic. They found her hands and face all bruiséd and her dress torn. When Ruth saw her she was very glad and thanked the man a4 great many times. The boys re- turned after their lohg search, and were very sorry they had not taken better care of her, instead of watch- ing the fire, It taught the boys a les- son and also made Ruth mind Prudy better afterwards.--Cecelia Burke, Form I N.D.C,, Age 14 years. Arthur and the Apples. One evening Arthur's father brought in from the orchard six beautiful rosy-cheeked apples, which he put on a plate and presented to Arthur. The son thanked his father for his kindness. Then said the fa- ther, "My son you must lay the ap- ples aside for a few days, that they may become mellow." Arthur cheerfully placed the plate on which were the apples, in his mo- ther's. store-room. His father asked him to bring back the fruit. Then he laid on the plate with the others an apple,. which,s though it still had a 'rosy side was quite decayed saying: "Here is another one for you." "But father," said Arthur, "the decayed apple will spoil all the others." The © father asked why the six good apples would not make the bad one good but Arthur did not reply and returned the apples to the store-room. Eight days afterwards the father asked his son to open the door and take out the apples. But what a sight presented itself! The smooth apples which had been are very short of seed potatoes.

"O father," cried Arthur, "did I not tel! you that the decayed apple would spoil the good ones." The father said he knew they would be rotten but he wished to teach his son a lesson about choosing his companions and so took this plan. If he chose bad ones, like the apples, he too would become bad. Long afterwards when Arthur was tempted to do wrong, he thought of the apples and resisted. ~--Edna Ryan, Form I. ents, Mr. and Mrs. W.
