Or plants a tree. Is more than all.
Early Peas.

There are some vegetables which we
can buy in market as good as we can
grow at home. Peas are not one of
them. We get peas from the South,
and they are very fair, but lack the
delicacy of those from our garden
1t is desirable, therefore, to get peas
as early as possible. The sweet. wrinkled
peas are not, and never will be, as
hardy as the smooth varieties. The
same is true of sweet corn; the extra
early kinds are not as sweet as the
later varieties but, like the peas, they
are very good until We get something
better. The small, hardy varieties of
peas, like the Early Kent. will stand
rough treatment. They can be sown
the moment the frost out of the sur
face soil, and after they are up, it is
seldom, if ever. that they are seriously
injured by frost. A warm, sandy soil
is desirable, with southern exposure,
and if on the eastern or southern side
of wall or board fence or building,
so much the better. The soil can
hardly be too rich 1t is mistake to
spade fine, light, sandy land deep for
early peas The surface soil, which
has been exposed to the sun is many
degrees warmer than the soil below,
which has only just thawed, the later
varieties, planted when the soil is dry
and warm, can be covered with two,
three, four, Or even five inches of soil,
deeper or shallower as the sol is heavy
or light; but the small, early pas
should rarely be covered over two
inches deep. and if the soil is wet and
cold, an inch is sufficient As so II as
the peas appear, draw some earth up
TO the row with hoe or rake, and If
the soil is dry and light, half an inch
or so of soil may be pulled between or
over the peas If the soil is moist and
heavv, it may be we'll to SC tier lit
tie stable manure on the side and on
the top Of the row. A board placed
edgewise on the north side of the row
will reflect th- rays of the sun.
Another method of fastening early
peas is to soak them in warm water
for twenty-fou hours and then mix
them with mess or light sand and keep
them warm and moist until they
sprout. Then SOW them in the ordi
nary way-usinE plenty of seed. We
have sown them when sprouted an
inch long, but is better, if the weather
is not suitable, to check the growth of
the peas in the house by placing them
in cellar or other old places. If the
land is rich, thick planting is desira-
ble, as it favors early maturity. We
make the row three or four inches
wide and deep, and SOW the peas in
the rows, for their whole width, al
most as thick as they will lie without
touching each other.-4merican 4g-

Root Pruning Early Cabbage

Gardeners sometimes prune the roots
of the trees in order to check growth
of wood, and throw the young tree in
to earlier fruiting. Grating the pear
on the ounce has the same effect, and
for the same reason. 1t cuts off the
supply Of food from the roots. DR..
Sturtevanta few years ago recommend
ed root pruning for Indian corn. Mar
ket gardeners often raise earlier and
larger cabbages than are usually found
in even our best family gardens. One
reason for this is probably due to the
fact that the market gardeners raise
cabbages on large scale, and use the
horse hoe or cultivator between the
rows of growing cabbages. And this
deep and thorough cultivation not on
ly keeps the land free from weeds, but
it also prunes the roots and checks
the growth of the cabbages for a short
time, but not for long. The roots ou
being pruned throw out numerous
small fbrous roots. which feed On rich
surface soil rather than on the poorer
subsoil This check to the growth of
the cabbages favors early maturity
But it should not be forgotten that it
is indispensable to success that land
for early cabbages be very rich, and
the more you root -prune the richer
the land ought to be.

The Gallant Lamar.
Washington Correspondence.


At recent dinner party Madame De Struve,
the wife of tie Russian minister, was placed
next to Mr. Lamar, the Secretary of the Interior.
Madame De Strive is noted as one of the bright
est and most intellectual of the women in Wash
ington society. Mr.. Lamar is famous for his
gallant speeches to the ladies. Wherever he
goes in society he makes one speech of compl-
ment after another. During the course of the
dinner Mr.. Lamar said, with great gravity, to
Madame De Strive: do you know that have
the most profound admiration for you2 Of all
the ladies of my acquaintance L think that you
are the most charming and the most enter
tanning" Madame De Strive turned and
said: What! Do you wish my poor De
Strive dead" 'Oh, no" said Mr. Lamar II
did not mean anything of that sort wish
merely to convey to you some idea of the genu-
Inc affection and admiration I have for you"
"Oh, then, she said, ''you wish to elope with
me-" The Secretary again protested, not exact
~ relishing the satire Of seriousness with which
the witty lady received his gallant speeches
AS he protested she turned again to him and
said: Il am afraid it is the season of the year
and your age which inclines you to make GAL
liant speeches to the lacy who happens to be
nearest you" In this happy manner she de-
clined to receive the compliments as personal
and created good natured laugh at the amiable
Secretary's expense, as the conversation was
carried on in a tone which was heard by num-

TELEPHONE COMPETITION.
The Overland Company Proposes to Open a
New Exchange in indianapolis.

The Overland Telephone Company, which was
incorporated and given the privilege Of using the
streets of the city for its lines, over year ago,
has decided to begin operations. Nothing has
been done up to the present time because it
seemed that there was no opening for the new
company but since the issue of notices by the
Central Union, giving warning that their con-
tracts with patrons terminate after June 80, for
the reason that they cannot afford to
operate under the new law reducing
the rental, the Overland directors think there
is a chance for them to establish an exchange.
They have decided to offer to buy the Central
OF the company, has been authorized to open
negotiations If this cannot be agreed upon, a
new exchange will probably be established, as
the new company claims that it can operate tel
eephones with profit on the rentals allowed by
the new law
