(Prepared by the United States Department of AfcTiculture.) When set in the spring, cabbage seed should be started in a hotbed or greenhouse in February and In the open ground as soon as the soil can be worked. Tor u late crop In the North, plant the seeds in a hod in the open ground In May or .Tune, and transplant In the garden In July. Early cabbages require a rich, warm soil In order tliat they may mature early. For late cabbages, the soil should be heavier and more retentive of moisture and not so rich os for the early crop, as the heads are Muhle to burst. Cabbages should be set In rows .".0 to VA Inches apart and 11 to 18 inches apart in the row. Early cabbages must be used soon after they have formed solid heads, as they will not keep during hot weather. They can, however, be used for making sauerkraut. Cauliflower. Cauliflower requires a rich, moist soil, and thrives best under Irrigation. It will not withstand as much frost as cabbage. The culture is the same as for cabbage, and the heads begin to develop, after which the leaves may be tied together over the heads in order to exclude the light and keep the heads white. Brussels Sprouts. Krüssels sprouts ure closely related to cabbage and cauliflower, and may be grown In the same manner. Instead of a single head, brassels sprouts form a large number of small heads in the axis of the leaves. As the heads begin to crowd the leaves should be broken from the stem of the plant, to give them more room. A few leaves should be left at the top of the stem, where the new heads are being formed. Krüssels sprouts are more hardy than cabbage, and in mild climates may remain In the open ground all winter, the heads being removed as desired. For winter use In cold localities, take up plants that are well laden with heads and set. them close together in a pit, coldframe or cellar, with a little soil around the root. The uses of brussels sprouts are similar to those of cabbage, but they are considered of a superior flavor. Collards. The culture and uses of collards are the same as for cabbage and kale, Col.lards withstand the heat better than either cabbage or kale, and a typo Known as (Jeorgla collards Is

STAKE TOMATO PLANT TO OBTAIN QUALITY Adapted to Every Garden, Whether Large or Small.

Plants Should Be Started lndoor3 and Gradually Hardened to Outside Conditions Two Methods for Home Gardens

(I'rep&rvd by the United StaUa Department of Agriculture.) Tomatoes ar udupted to growing In overy garden, whether large or small. To have a supply early In the season, the seed should be sown under cover four to six weeks before the weather becomes warm outdoors, and the plants should be transplanted once or twice before setting them in the open ground. Two dozen plants can usualJy be purchased at the seed store cheaper than they can be grown. Potgrown plants are usually the best if they can be secured. Indoor plants should be gradually hardened to outride conditions. This ran be done by pl;ir!nr the hoxes or

Tomatoes Staked. pots In which they are planted outdoors for several hours each day when the weather Is warm. They may be left out all night when there Is no danger of frost. Hants for the main or late crop can be started outdoors after the ground has become warm. Two methods are In vogue for growing tomatoes In home gardens. In the small garden the plants may be set two feet apart In each direction and then pruned to a single stem and tied to stakes. Where plenty of land Is available the plants may be set three to four feet npart and allowed to grow naturally upon the ground. Tt should be borne In mind, however, that by trimming and tying the plants to stakes a better quality of fruit Is obtained, and that the fruit will ripen earlier than when they arc not trimmed and trained. From twenty-five to fifty tomato plants will be sufficient for growing In the home garden, and this number should furnish plenty of tomatoes for summer use and for canning.

A Solid Head ci Cabbage. highly esteemed in the Southern states. Collards do not form a true head, but Instead a loose rosette of leaves, which, when blanched, are very tender and of delicate llavor. Kohl-Rabi. Kohl-rabI belongs to the same class as cabbage and cauliflower, but presents a marked variation from either. The edible portion consists of the swollen stem of the plant. For an early crop, plant and cultivate the same as for early cabbage. For n late crop the seed may be sown in drills where the crop Is prown and thinned to about eight inches apart in the row. The rows should be from 18 to Inches apart, according to the kind of cultivation employed. The tleshy stems should be used while they are young and quite tender.

Sow the seeds of okra In the open after the ground has become quite warm, or start the plants In berry boxes In a hotbed and transplant them to the garden after all danger of frost Is past. Th" rows should be 4 feet apart for the dwarf sorts and 5 feet apart for the tall kinds, with tlip plants 2 feet apart In the row. Okra does best in rather rich land and requires frequent shallow cultivation nntil the plants cover the ground. The youn? pods are the part used, and theso are employe! principally In soups, to which they impart a pleasant flavor and mucilaginous consistency. If the pods are removed from the plants and none allowed to ripen, the plants will continue to produce pods until killed by frost, but the best pods are grown on young plants. Okra pods can be dried or canned for winter use. United States Department of Agriculture.

PLANTING ONIONS IN GARDEN

Greater Part of Commercial Crop Is Grown From Seeds Sets May Be Planted Early. Ordens may be grown either from sets or from seed. The greater part of the commercial onion crop Is grown from seed, but the usual method of planting onions in the garden is by uif of sets. One quart of sets will plant from 73 to 125 feet of row with the plants 4 Inches apart in the row; thi depends, however, upon the size of the sets. Onion sets should be placed In a small furrow, root-end downward, and covered to a depth of about 13 inches unless the soli Is extremely heavy. In which case they should not be covered so deeply. Onion seN may be planted Jut as early in the spring as the ground can be cultivated. -Fnlted States Department of urleu!! ure.

Application Has Effect of Pulverizing and Loosening, and Corrects Sourness.

An application of about 10 ordinary 10-pinrt pailfuls of liydrated or airshikeri lime to a plot of ground 30 by CO feet in size will generally prove beneficial. Lime has the effect of loosening and pulverizing any heavy clay soil, and of binding loose, sandy soils. Idme also corrects any sourness In the soil due to lack of drainage, but In a case of this kind proper drainage should be secured. Lime should always be applied to the surice. and in no casp shoutd It be put on the land at the same time as commerlcal fertilizer. The proper method would be to spread the lime upon the land just after plowing and before harrowing; then apply the commercial fertilizer one week later. Under no circumstances should lime be mixed with commercial fertilizer or manure, as it liberates the ult rosea from them.

With enough money, enough time and enough luck, a man may get back the health he ha9 lost or part of it It takes patience, too. And then there may be no success, or only a little. Its better to save what you have than hunt for what you've lost as the most successful health-restorers will tell you. Much of the loss of health is due to faulty, careless diet.
