For now the markets are filled with foods that suggest the coming of spring—there are fresh vegetables and fruits in plenty and their variety is a'challenge to the clever cook.

Here are delectable ways to prepare both meats. BAKED WHOLE OR HALF HAM Place a whole or half ham in a roaster. Add 2 cups of water and i cover the roaster. Bake in a slow ■ oven allowing about 21 minutes to 1 the pound for a large whole ham; 1 about 25 minutes a pound for i smaller (up to 12 pounds) or half I hams. When ham is done remove from oven. Lift off rind. Score surface and dot with cloves; rub with a mixture of 1$ cup bronw sugar 1 and 1 tablespoon of flour. Pour ov-I 1 er the contents of 1 pint bottle of > grape juice or sherry if preferred. 1 Baste and brown uncovered in a J hot oven for 20 minutes. —— ' BAKED HAM WITH ORANGE 1 Place a ham fat side up in a 1 baking pan, add 1 cup of water and ‘ bake at 300 degrees till tender.

I WHAT IS ' a . FEW CULTURAL PROBLEMS WITH VIGOROUS SNAPDRAGONS They Are Slow To Germinate, But Make Lightning-Like Progress After They Get Started. Give Them Rich Soil And Liberal Watering.

Many beautiful flowers are handicapped by a delicate constitution which prevents their wide use, but I enapdragons, or antirrhinums, are' not one of them. On the contrary 1 theey are one of the healthiest and I most vigorous annual flowers, and 1 will respond to good treatment with • a blaze of color that is equaled by I few other flowers. Being an old flower which we knew well in grandmother’s garden we are inclined to think of it as old-fashioned, but this is not its true status. The flower Ls old to foe sure, but the modern strains are so entirely new and different, and take so imany- shapeee, sizes and colors that it is almost a new flower. Today we can buy the dwarf strains I

which grow only 8 Inches tall, or the large flowering types which !reach over 36 inches. Snapdragon*, are slow to germinate. and one must be careful in eow- ! ing them to snark out their location, 1 so they will not be disturbed. At I first they give little indication of ! the size they will eventually attain, i but in the last stages of growth I they will perk up with amazing speed. They like rich soil and liberal moisture, ae well as the full snn. Many of the tall types might well be staked when they rise over 18 inchesBeautiful effects are produced by growing the giant sorts, pinching I out the tops when they are about

h; or 8 inchw tall, staking them firmly, whereupon they branch freely and make a bush 2 feet through. | and about the same height covered I with eplktw of bloom. The tsplkes | are not of the length or else that would be produced if the plant were allowed to grow naturally and devote Its strength to the one long spike of giant flower such as the floriets grow. I The «na>iw have a wide range of light colors, with the pinks favorites and the yellows and flame colored ones next in demand. To get them in bloom eearlier, they might well be started Indoors or in the cold frame, although this is not at all necessary. o MONROENEWS Mrs. John Floyd, Mrs. Otto Longcnberger and Mrs. Raymond Criet of Monroe and Mrs. Delton Passwater of Decatur attended the district meeting of the Foreign Mis-| Jelonary society at Fort Wayne I Thursday.
