Her Picture on Her Linen.
A young woman who has a weak
ness for novelties has invented a new
way for marking her belongings. In
delible ink she scorns as belonging
TO the distant past, and embroidered
initials and monograms she voted
commonplace. Even the pretty
device of embroidering her posses
sions with her favorite flower finally
lost its charm and her latest fancy
is to have her own face reproduced.
She had some tiny and not I'M
fattering photographs taken, and
they are now being transferred to
the corners OF her hankcrchiefs, the
bands of her skirts, etc. Now this
is all very nice, but one eannot help

CABBAGE.

Cabbage is a popular vegetable
with both the gardener and farmer.
1t requires highly MANFRED ground
and frequent and deep cultivation.
When these are provided it is easily
managed. Plants can be obtained
from nurseries but it is best to raise
them. One can then be sure he has
the desired variety. Seed can be
sown in hot, cold or open air beds
and also in the ground where they
are to grow. For very early crops
sow in January or February in hot
beds and in cold frames in March.
For later use SOW in open ground in
April and May. For fall and winter
cabbage sow in June. Plants should
be transplanted as soon as they at
tain sufficient size. This may be
done twice with good results. It
makes the plants stocky. Early
jersey Wakefield, All Season, In
proved Brunswick, Surehead and
Late Flat Dutch are excellent varie-
ties. Cabbage are liable to be de-
voured by feas and worms. The
most expeditions plan for extermi-
mating them is to sprinkle the plants
with a mixture of air Stacked lime
and wood ashes. Some, however,
prefer tobacco Juice.

For forcing turnip shaped radishes
are best. The early long and olive
shaped make early radishes. The
summer and winter varieties suc
coed them. These should be soWn
in August, lifted before severe frost
and stored in cellars.
POTATOES.
In some states late potatoes yield
best, but throughout Missouri early
planting is preferable. Late sorts
are most likely to be injured by
bugs. There is also danger of Il
short crop from the droughts that
often prevail in summer. In point
of fact most persons want very early
potatoes as by the time they are
ready for the table the preceding
years crop has disappeared. New
potatoes make an appetizing dish
when properly cooked, seasoned and
served and on that account are al
ways in demand. Plant none but
well known and tried early varieties.
Potatoes love a warm, sandy loan
that has been well manured in prev
ious years. For early crops break
up deeply and if the season is dry
run out good burrows for them and
cover we'll. If the ground is rich
they will need no manure If poor it
can be placed either under or over
them. If the seed be carefully
handled it will help a little to secure
an early crop to use such as have
commenced to sprout. In every
case there must be thorough cultiva-
ton from the start. AS soon as
sprouts appear above the ground run
a harrow over them, follow with the
pillow and level with the cultiVator.
Ii potatoes are put in deep they will
need little killing or ridging. They
should not be cultivated after they
commence to blossom but previous
ly thereto they cannot be titled too
much.
