of Humö vi LITERARY COMMENT "Wh.it Is your favnritf novel?" "Mack th- (Jlant Killer " replied MIhs Cayenne. That Is only a fairy tale." "Which Is my reason for liking It. Noholy Im KIn to et you Into an argument about It by xaylng: 'How true to life the characters aro!' and Isn't the philosophy a wonderful revelation of the human soul !' " Unmistakable Signal. "There must be trouble across the street!" said the stranger in Crimson Gulch. "What makes you think hoV inquired Thre-finj;enil Sam. "I Just heard a pistol shot." "Don't let it skeer you. The boys nre tired of poker and are learnln' to play bridge whist. That's Piute Pete's way of sijnalln fur trumps.' A HELPFUL SPOUSE Hubby What did you do with all those unpaid bills. Wlfey I saw they were beginning to worry you, dear, so I destroyed them. Ups and Downs in Milking. "That .tuMiorn cow," Haid F.zra UoKgs, "Makes me fel like a clown "Uecauae, when I've made her give up, I'm denied if she'll ive down!" Publicity Problems. "Why do you quarrel with the critics?" "IJecause," answered the highly sensitive player, "they occasionally print things about us that are unfavorable and hurt our feelings." "Iiut why sp'(iali? on critics? Why don't you also go after the police reporters?" A Sense of Gratitude. "A noted writer recommends Immoral books to cure people of evil tendencies." Th'r must b something in that theory," replied the farcastlc citizen. "At least I never view the antics of a movie star on the screen that I don't thank heaven I wasn't born handsome." Not a Fair Game. Two small hoys were puzzling their brains to invent a new game. At last one of them said, eagerly: "I know, Hilly; let's see who can make the ugliest face." "That is not fair," was the reply. "Look at what a start you've got!" Endurance. "Fashions are hindrances to health." "I don't think so," rejoined Miss Cayenne. "Only robust people can wear silk stockings in winter and furs In summer." Apprehensive. "This is a fashionable grillroom." "Yes, Tessle, all the other ladies nre smoking." "So I see. Ho you think they will put us out for not smoking?" LOOKT.D IJKK IT Bug- My, that must be the chorus from ono of those Uroadway shows! Progress. Who pains an inch uion his Koal May Htill be far from it, Hut he is nearer than the man Who started out and quit. Self Defense. "Why Is It." said Mrs. Xaggem. "I say, why Is It that men like you always snap and Mte at your wives?" "I dunno." said Naggem, disconsolately. "I reckon it's the same Instinct of self-defense that makes n dog growl at his tleas!" The Touch in Boston. The wayfarer accosted the Hasten man on Commonwealth avenue. "Sir, could you spare me a dime?" To you take me for an easy mark?" "No, sir; I was In hopes you were an altruist." This got him a quarter. Sure She Would Accept Him. She Jut imagine! Suppose you wer' so immensely wealth;, that you couldn't spend your Income what vould you do? lie Marry otj.

FINEST QUALITY PEAS WIN FAVOR

Intermediate Variety Bear Better When Giver, Support of Low Brush or Wire. LITTLE MARVEL IS SUPERIOR Best Plan to Depend on Succession Planting a Week or Ten Days Apart Rotation Is Also of Much Importance The very finest quality peas at the present time are neither, strictly speaking, dwarfs, nor are they tall. They are intermediate and while they may be growu as dwarfs and without brushing, they bear better when given the support of low brush or a narrow strip of chicken wire. These are the Gradus and Laxton types of pea, which vary from 30 Inches to almost four feet, according to variety. All do better with support, although, commonly grown as dwarfs. They give a heavier yield when held upright. Wrinkled Type Superior. Of the very early peas of the wrinkled type, which Is much suierior to the earliest smooth-seeded type. Little Man-el still holds a high place among really dwarf peas, the vines being only about eighteen Inches. It matures in eight weeks and Is very hardy and of the finest quality. A little earlier is Market Surprises Alaska and Maud S., smooth-seeded peas, still remain the earliest of all, of good quality if taken very young, but not equal to the wrinkled varieties, which are not so hardy and cannot be planted or cropped so early. It Is possible with the variety of peas now on the market to plan a good succession planting, starting with Alaska, Surprise, Little Marvel, Gradus, Laxtonlan and Thomas Laxton. However, it is better to depend upon a successional planting a week or ten days apart, as the season may be such as to bring the cropping of different peas too close together at maturity, If planted at the same time. The planting of peas In double rows, six Inches apart, these double rows to be three feet apart. Is about right for the more dwarf varieties, hut if the more vigorous growing dwarfs are to he planted they will need at least four feet between the rows unless they are given brush or wire. The round seeded peas can go Into the ground as soon as it can be dug, but it is best to wait a week or two for the wrinkled varieties to be on the safe side. Rotation Is Necessary. The peas should not be planted this year in the same position that they occupied last year. Neither should Method of Brushing Peas. they be placed in ground occupied the previous season by beans for best results. A gardener should study his garden plan each year with an eye to moving the peas and beans across the garden, so that they will not occupy the same space in succeeding years. Of course, heavy fertilizing partly makes up for the exhausting of the soil, but It cannot wholly do so. These two vegetables take more out of the soil than the others and It is more necessary to see that they rotate. SAN JOSE SCALE INCREASING Lime Sulphur and Scalecide Must Be Applied if Orchard Trees Are to Be Saved. During the last two or three years a good many people in the North with home orchards have believed that the San Jose scale was becoming extinct. As a matter of fact the sleet which persisted so long on the trees the winter of four years ago suffocated the scale just as does the lime-sulphur spray when applied. After that winter, many old trees revived and have grown well since then. Now the scale Is catching up again and, unless we have another such sleet, lime-sulphur and scalecide will have to be put on if the trees are to be saved. A still day Is an Ideal time to spray with lime-sulphur because It Is easier to reach all rnrts of the tree when there Is no wind. KEEP RECORDS OF PLANTING Enables Gardener to Recall Earliest and Latest Varieties in Planting Season. Gardeners should keep records of planting dates nnd maturity of certain varieties of vegetables so that they may recall the earliest, the latest and the mid-season varieties when planting time comes. This Information will save trouble and enable one to plant so the table may be supplied during il e grow ing season.

TESTING SUGAR-BEET SEEDS FOR IMPURITY

Heavy Losses to Growers During Past Two Years. Bureau of Plant Industry Conducting Experiments in Florida to Determine Presence of Mangel Wurzel Seeds. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Ilecause of the heavy losses experienced by beet sugar companies during the past two years through the presence of mangel wurzel, or stock beet seed in the Imported sugar-beet seed, the bureau of plant industry of the United States Department of Agriculture Is making growing tests of samples of such seeds. The tests are being made in Florida In the open air. Lots of Imported seed have been sent by beet-sugar companies for testA Loading Beets for Shipment to factory at Owosso, Mich. Ing. When any of these samples are found to contain stock beet seed, the senders will be notified before planting time. Similar tests made in the greenhouses during the past year made possible the location of mixtures containing stock beets of red, or orangecolored varieties, ft has been found that white-fleshed varieties of stock beets cannot be determined through germination tests alone but must be grown to a considerable size hefore their distinguishing characteristics are discernible. That the heavy losses experienced during the past two years due to this cause constitute a strong argument for the development of an American-grown supply of sugar-beet seed, sufficient for the needs of our beet industry, is the belief of the officials working on the problem. DESTROY LAST YEAR'S PESTS Excellent Plan to Remove All Stalks and Burn Them Ashes Make Good Fertilizer. Tn getting ready to make garden this spring, It Is an excellent plan to see that all the stalks of last year's vegetables which may have been left standing are removed and burned. In the first place the ashes will make good fertilizer as the stems of nearly all vegetables contain excellent fertilizing material in their ash, and an even more important consideration is that by removing and destroying them the Insect pests are likely to be checked. Many insect pests find refuge under boards, among the dried leaves or stalks over winter. Often the spores of fungus diseases which create havoc are only waiting In these old stems to get into action with balmy weather. By burning the refuse a great quantity of them will be destroyed. PREPARING POTATO SEED BED Select Best Piece of Land and Put It in Good Shape Clover Sod Is Excellent. It pays to have the potato ground in good shape. Select the best piece of ground you have. You are putting more money Into the seed than for any other farm crop and probably more Into the cultivation too, and so you should hnve the best land. Clover soil makes the best potato ground. Old blue grass sod Is nil right if plowed deep enough and worked up in good shape. Timothy sod Is not good. Avoid fresh manure; It produces scab. PRODUCTS THAT PAY FARMER Profitable to Raise Less Major Crops and Devote More Time to Poultry and Dairy. Bather than raise staple crops that cannot le sold at even cost of production, it will be wise to devote less time to major farm crops aim more labor to preparing to increase poultry and dairy products. There seems to be at all times active demand for poultry itnd dairy products at prices that pay well for labor and Investment. FERTILIZER INCREASES YIELD However, It Does Not Correct Poor Preparation of Soil or Lack of Humus. Commercial fertilizer has increased yield- and at a profit. Hut do not expoct the fertilizer-to take the place of poor preparation or lack of humus in the soil. A good seedbed with sufficient humus are requirements for profitable returns on commercial fertilizer.

It helped them let it help you. Had Nervous Spells Horatio. Ark. "I had nervous epells ana awful bad feelings. My right side and my back hurt me all the time and I had been going down in health for six or seven years. For three years I had not been able to do my work without help. I weighed only 95 pounds when my husband's mother persuaded me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Now I heartily recommend it to all suffering women, as I have gained weight and health. I can do all my work, anything I want to do." Mrs. Jim Rearick, Horatio, Arkansas.
