We're great critters, we humans, for wanting to. take short cuts. Short cufs between places; -short cuts betweén people; ‘short’ cuts between. objects; short cuts to attainment, . ; “Is this ‘the road to Bungtown?” Then let’s cut ‘cross. lots and see if we can’t get-there sooner. “Is this the way to wealth?’ Then let's try some.“get-rich-quick” scheme and beat the other fellow, “Is this the way to raise potatoes?” Then let's try some easier and quicker method, and save work. road to learning. If there is one thing more unde- niable than any other it is that riches have got' to be’ paid for, to the ‘last cent, in some sort of quid pro quo. If there is one saying which is more often quoted than another it is.the old one- that “the longest way ’‘round is sometimes the shortest way there.” Once, as a very small boy, my father neighbor’s with him behind “Old Doll,” the sorrel mare who in those days supplemented the farm ox team. Coming to a place where the road forked, Father turned to the left let me ride. to and drove around a comparatively or so, I noticed that the road which top of a steep hill we had taken cu the base of the hill. much the shorter of the two.

Nor does it seem to make mucn difference how often we've been taught {by failure that it doesn’t pay; we're | constantly tempted to try it “just once {more.” Not usually the same identical | “short cut™ but some other on some ; other road. | | i 1 I i | remember once, at a farmers’ in- stitute: where one of the instructors was a market gardener of high repu- tation, T asked him if there was on¥ the maturity of such crops as musk. melons, etc. He answered fiuently that there was. The. thing.to do, he explained, was to plant the ‘seeds on inverted sod, in a hotbed or cold frame, as early as it was made. The seeds would germinate quickly, grow rapidly, be protected from frosts by the glass, and could be transplanted as thrifty growing hills as early as-it was safe to plant seeds in normally prepared outdoor plats. ‘Growing in sod, the whole thing could be changed from cold frame to outdoor hill with- out any disturbance of the roots, They would never know -they'd been trans- planted, and would keep right on growing and would astonish one by the earliness of their fruiting. Well, sods aren’t easy to get off a solidly frozen landscape ‘at the time I'm ordinarily making a Hotbed or cold frame. I couldn’t get any that spring, #0 I took two elght-inch wide boards, set on them three shallow pasteboard boxes from which both top and hottom had been cut, filled the boxes with rich @it and planted my melon seeds in them at one end of the glass-covercd bed. This de it possible to slice each little hill off the board into its prepared growing place, -without dis turbance of the soil or the rootlets. That fall I saved some sods hefore the ground froze. kept them in tie cellar all winter and used them frame coddled melons out in their regular bed the same day I planted my seeds in the ordinary course (having a cover handy by each transplanted bill to protect it against a.chance late frost). S v And both years I picked my first ripe melons “off hills planted in fhe open the same day these others were trans- planted! Also, I'picked just about ten times as many sdlable melons from the planted hills as from the same numnber of transplanted ones. Of similar character was the advice Ehldl we‘nz I{l through the profeseed- agricultural papers, some 0, how to get early md.nhundm’e:"wma“- toes out of an -old barrel. You were to take a bottomless and headlens barrel, eet it 'half its depth in the ground, put a.half bushel or. small’ in the THE SHORT CUT AFTER A COMPLETE CUT Now, if there is any thing surer than another it is that ‘there is no royal level road. After a quarter of a mile turned to the right and which he had avoided came out into ours over thé Also 1 noticed that it was almost straight between the two _points of meeting, while the one ved broadly around To my eyes it, the up-hill and down-hill road, was asked Father why he didn't come that “It's just as far over the bail of a kettle standing up as it is around the It took my small boy’'s mind some time to grasp the real significance of Indeed, not till we came back and—I suppose to-give me an object lesson—deliberately. took the other road and went over the big ‘hill, While the hill road, if shown on a map, would have been seen to-go al- most straight from .one fork to the other. when we came -to drive it, we found that it went up and up, and then down and down, till the.curve-it made into the air almost equalled the curve the other branch made around the hiil. Furthermore, we could trot the old mare “all the: way afound the lower road, while she had to walk all the way up_one steep hill, because it would have winded her to trot up it, and she also had to walk all the way down the other side, hecause her poor foundered invite ery evidently took us longer and also’ took more out of the Somehow, that little practical lesson in applied efficiency made a great im- Ever zlowing words apd rosy colors the ad- | hort cuts and easy going was way, in our short seasons, to hasten | cover them with rich dirt. set:out your best and biggest - tomato plant any time in early April, keep it well ywater- ed ‘and covered warm. every: frosty night—and then begin picking ripe to- matoes off it when your neighbors were just beginning to discover buds on some of theirs. <50 % 1 had just that sort of barrel and any quantity of cobbles. * So I°fixed it/ up according to directionss The to- mato sort of cupola..above the barrel to kéep. the coverings negessitated by two dr three late frosts from breaking it over. True also was it that two tomatoes set on it before any of my”other plants were in ‘blossom. The two grew to about the size of trade dollars and then both turned'blatk on. the flowér end and rotted on the stem. That was the end of its crop. 1 tried the same scheme @ second year, with another barrel and fresh cobblestones in a new place. This time I didn't use so rich soil, nor water it so plentifully. Not a single flower appeared on ‘it this second trial, till after T had picked ripe fruit from plants set in the opén, the ordinary way. Then it. woke up and set and ripened five' tomatoes, the biggest about the size of an egz. I don't think I got less than a full peck of ripe tomatoes off the very poorest plant set in the reguiar way in the regular bed, that season. You may properly infer that I'm not using inverted sods mnor half-buried barrels to “hasten” my melons and to- matoes, any more! Last spring, when the “war gardén” craze was at its height, some western paper came out with a long descrip- tion of how a Kansas man—TI think it was Kansas—had grown all the pota- toes a big family could eat of a winter in a 12 by 12 pen or cage made of old fence rails in his back yard. Anybody could do the same, any- where, it was asserted. All you had to ‘'do was to lay down a square or four old fence rails lapping at-the ¢or- ners, loghouse fashion, fill up to.the top with rich dirt, plant your potatoes in it 'six or eight inches apart; then add four more rails, fill up with more dirt, plant more potatoes; and so on to any desired height. - Six feet, I be- lieve, it was in the case referred to. The potatoes would grow out between the rail sides. till. it was one great mound of potato tops.. All you had- to do was to water the thing adequateiy and, when the tops ripened, tear down your pen and rake out the numerous bushels of potatoes. That was. the idea. The whole yarn wi little fishy to my smell, and I didn't try it. But B. T. Galloway, a_writer in Rursl New Yorker, did, and his report of results is interesting. He made a pen only 6x6x6 out of corner posts and boards nailed to them, with ample spaces Detween each board and those above it. It took 57 wheetbarrow loads of dirt to fill the pen, wpich was planted with 150 hills of potatoes. They took an unconscionable time to come up, but finally did so, some of them pushing. their tops out between the boards. They were carefully watered and kept free from disease and insects : 'You just bet it did. Grew | S0 fast and rank that.I had to build a crop harvested. . The fotal yield was to do. things.
