EARLY CABBAGES NEED HIGH SOIL

Start Seed in Hotbed in February and in Open Ground as Soon as Possible. .

CULTURE OF RELATED GROß

Cauliflower Thrives Best Under Irrigation, and Brussels Sprouts Ma" Be Grown In Same Manner Collards Are Tender. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) When set in the spring, cabbage h-eed should be started in a hotbed or greenhouse in February and In the open ground as soon as the soil can be worked. For a late crop In the North, plant the seeds In a bed In the open ground In May or June, and transplant In the garden In July. Karly cabbages require a rlch warm soil in order that they may mature early. For late cabbages, the soil should be heavier and more retentive of moisture and not so rich as for the early crop, as the heads are liable to burst. Cabbages should be set in rows .'JO to 30 Inched apart and 14 to 18 inches apart in the row. Karly cabbages mu.t 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. Brussels sprouts are closely related to cabbage and cauliflower, and may be grown In the same manner. Instead of a single head, brussels 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. Brussels 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 roots. 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.

A Solid Head of 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 flavor. Kohl-Rabi. Kohl-rabl belongs to the same class as cabbage and cauliflower, hut pretents 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 a late crop the seed may be sown in' drills where the crop Is grown and thinned to about eight Inches apart In the row. The rows should be from 18 to r.rt Inches apart, according to the kind of cultivation employed. The fleshy stems should be used while they are young and quite tender.

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

Plants Should Be Started Indoors and Gradually Hardened to Outside Conditions Two Methods for Home Garden. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Tomatoes are adapted to growing In every 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 usually 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 outside conditions. This can be done by .placing the boxes or

PLANTING ONIONS IN GARDEN

Greater Part of Commercial Crop Is Grown From Seed Sets May Be Planted Early.

Unions 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 use- of sets. One quart of sets will plant from To to 12T feet of row with the plants 4 inches apart In the row; this 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 inches unless the soil is extremely heavy, in which case they should not be covered so deeply. Onion sets may bo planted Jut as early in the spring as the ground can be cultivated United States Department of Agriculture.

Tomatoes Staked. pots in which they are planted outdoors for several hours each day when the weather is wann. They may be left out all night when there Is no danger of frost. Plants 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 apart and allowed to grow naturally upon the ground. It should bo 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 are not trimmed and trained. From twenty-five to fifty tomato plants will be sufficient for growing In the home garden, and this number shouJd furnish plenty of tomatoes for summer use and for canning. United States Department of Agriculture.

START OKRA IN BERRY BOXES After All Danger cf Frost Is Past Transplant Young Plants In the . Open Garden.

Sow the seeds of ofcra 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. The rows should be 4 feet apart for the dwarf sorts and 5 feet apart for the tall kinds, with the plants 2 feet apart In the row. Okra does best In rather rich land and requires frequent shallow cultivation until the plants cover the ground. The young pods are the part used, and these are employed 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 pod can be dried or canned for winter use. United States Department of Agriculture.

LIME BENEFITS CLAY SOILS

Application Has Effect of Pulverizing and Loosening, and Corrects Sourness. An application of about 10 ordinary 10-quart pailfuls of hydrated or airslaked 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. Lime 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 surVn e. and in no case should It be put on the land at the same time as commerical 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 nitrogen from them.

A little girl, whose father is widely known as y writer of humorous stories, was recently approached by a visitor, who said: "It must be nice to have a papa who knows so many fine stories." The little girl blushed and hung her head. "Aren't you proud of your papa?" the visitor asked. "Yes," the little girl answered, "but I think I ought to tell you something." "What Is It?" 4The stories by my papa aren't stories at all." "Not stories?' fNo." And ,in a deep, hoarse whisper, the child confessed: "He makes them all up out of his own head."

The reply came back on thci letterhead of the Grand Magasins du Louvre, and said: "We are pleased to give you herewith the Inquiries requested." Then followed prices of bronzes of the Venus of various heights from 2S0 francs to :'0(J francs. The Paris post office had overlooked the museum and sent the letter to the department store.

Save the bird in hand-

The others may he hard to catch

With enough money, enough time and enough luck, a man may get back the health he has lost or part of it. It takes patience, too. And then there may be no success, or only a little. It's 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. Wrong meals at all times and right meals at wrong times load the long-suffering digestive
