VALUABLE FARM NOT SOLD Fully one thousand people on Tues- day. afternoon attended the auction sale of Twin Stream Farm, north of Whitby, owned by Medland Bros., of Toronto, when farm stock, imple- ments, machinery, etc., and the farm itself, were offered for sale. Buyers 'came from Peterboro, Cobourg, Ham- ilton, Woodbridge, Darlington and from all parts of the County of On- 'tario, and from 1 to 5 p.m. the auc- tioneers disposed of 64 head of cattle, 75 hogs, sheep, poultry, horses and all farm machinery. Wonderful prices were obtained for the cattle, which went like hot cakes. The total of the 'sale, amounted to approximately $10,000. Under a reserve bid the farm was offered for sale, the highest offering being $384,000, which, however, was a little below the reserve price, hence no sale was made. The farm, how- ever, has been leased for a term of years by a Mr, Kerr and family, who bought freely at the sale and will get to work this spring. --Whitby Gazette. pn) tenn The death in Oshawa last week of Joseph Houlden, who for many years drove the stage coach between Osh- 'awa and 'Whitby, recalls the days, not many years gone by, when transpor- tation over the Kingston Road was 'much slower than to-day. Mr. Hould- en's stage made two trips a day, oc- .cupying well on to an hour each way. The road was, of course, unpaved, and at certain seasons of the year was in a very bad condition. Under circumstances a trip from Whitby Oshawa or vice versa was more of assists in the production of every article and in the transportation of every commodity.

Most people are interested in gardening at this time of the year--at least to the extent of "cleaning up." A very large number of people like flowers and fruit and vegetables--when other people grow them. A much less number of folk love a garden, delight to grow things, and enjoy themselves in hoeing and weeding or just wandering around fixing here and there. Thousands of this latter class know very much more than the writer about gardening, but they keep quiet about their know- ledge, and you will only learn what they know by quiet conversa- tion. That is one of the first rules about good gardening--when you do not know, ask someone who does. There will be a ready response; people who know and who love gardens are glad to tell you and are delighted when you succeed. There are some other rules that are worth remembering. The first is--don't attempt too much. A small garden receiving excellent care is much more satisfactory than a large garden that "gets ahead" of you. Second--don't be stingy with seed when you sow. It is always possible to thin out if your plants are too thick; but it is not nearly so easy to fill in gaps. One has to allow for bad seed, grubs, hot weather, and other casualties. Third--have faith that your plants will grow when you set out such things as tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower; or in flowers: asters, verbenas, etc. These plants need room, and when asters are planted a foot apart they cannot do their best. Fourth--the garden hose will not take the place of the hoe and rake; but the hoe and rake will take the place of the garden hose to a large extent. Constant cultivation preserves moisture. As was stated at the beginning of this article--thousands of gardeners know more about gardening than the writer of this article. At hand is a publication from the Chatham Horticultural Society and from it we give extracts. Monthly Direction April--Take coverings off bulb beds gradually. Get your flower beds ready for planting seeds, latter part of month and early May. Trim shrubs that flower on new wood. Plant melons, Cucumbers and Egg Plant in hot-bed. Vegetable garden--Plant out cabbages and caulifiowers, and lettuce from hot bed; sow seeds, Peas, Beets, Cabbage, Carrots, Celery, Radish, Onion Sets, Parsley, Spinach, Turnips and plant Early Potatoes. Make up new beds of Asparagus and Rhubarb. Asters and other hardy annuals can be sown this month in small quantities. Start Tuberous Begonias and Gloxinias in pots. Sow seed in cold frame or open ground. Fall blooming perennials may be re- set or divided before active growth begins. 'Dormant bushes, trees, shrubbery and roots should be planted at the earliest favor- able time: Seed or re-seed the lawn.- = How to Grow Sweet Peas To obtain best results the ground should be prepared in the fall by digging a trench about two feet deep and mixing cow manure with the soil. In the spring, as soon as the ground can be worked, plant the seed about one inch deep. If the weather is dry at the time of sowing, the seed should be soaked in:lukewarm water for twenty-four hours before planting. In order to get the best blooms, thin the plants out to eight or ten inches apart, stake well, and give plenty of water in dry weather. Water in the evening and then mulch the soil early in the following morning to keep it from baking. The blooms should be kept eut or the flowering season will be shortened. To get early bloom try planting a few seeds in a flower pot or a shallow box in the house. Do this early in March and as soon as the ground begins to warm up a little, plant into the o ! care not to disturb the roots more than is necessary. n every few days water with water in which a teaspoonful of Nitrate of Soda to the gallon has been dissolved. ; : Breeder Tulips ? .
