Don't Lose Your Grin.

other woman was becoming discouraged

Ever since the impatient cry of "Anony-
nous" on everlasting cooking, the
question OF the necessity of food, which is
really requirement Of our vital existence,
has frequently come into my mind. y. l.
H., in last weeks column, touched upon
the subject briefly but definitely.
When Abraham entertained three
angels on the plains of Mamre he said to
them: II will fetch you & morsei Of bread, y
and msn-like .'hsstened into the tent and
said unto Sarah, make ready quickly three
measures of fine meal, knead II and make

This is, 50 far IS I know, the first re-
corded bill of fare, and a menu of
to-day as presented in most hotels and
many private families, would no doubt be
puzzle to Abraham, if not to his distin-
guished guests.

& vast amount of time wasted in cooking.

GARDEN NOTES

Now send for4;thea seed catalogs adj
vertised in 7 he j ournal:
Sow radishes early and often, so as
to keep the table supplied.
. Keep fruit trees properly trimmed
from the beginning of their growth.
The fruit and vegetable garden re-
quire richest soils and best culture.
In planting a young tree-apple or
plum-trim it to a. switch and cut it's
head off at the height you want it to
branch. It will make a new head just
as you want it.
Watercress may be cultivated in any
good swamp that has fresh water run
ming thru it. The swamp should be
cleared and bitches cut thru it. The
cress is planted at the bottom Of the
bitches.
If the pruning has been neglected for
a number Of years it is not good idea
to trim too much the first year.
The permanent beds Of asparagus and
rhubarb should be cleaned out and given
a top dressing.
Pruning is necessary with the grape
to prevent the vine from setting toe
much fruit.
In planting tree firm the soil tightly
over the roots unless the soil be wet
in that case do not plant until it dries
The orchard should be plowed shall
I low, not deeper than four inches.

Improvement of a two-a nd-a- lf-acre
lot, / beg to submit the following re-
Assuming that the lot is square and
the house in the street corner we'll back,
so as to have a. large unbroken lawn
on two sides Of the house, shaded only
by a few elms on the outside border
Of the lot. A barn and chickenhouse
may be placed little distance from
the rear corner of the house and lead
ing to it, a driveway from either street,
encircle a grass plot or flower bed with
a we'll or ornamental tree in the cen
ter. - To the front and at the left Of
the house, a bank Of various Towering
or, foliage shrubbeEy may be set out to
hide the view from the front, of the
side-kitchen garden. Also a hedge of
foliage bushes with border. strip Of
Towering plants may be set out to line
the rear driveway and at the same time
posite corner Of the house, to set off the
house as frame sets off a picture. A
bank Of ferns may be placed :, in an
angle of the house. In the kitchen
garden should be few hills of rhubarb,
row of currant and gooseberry bushes,
a few grape vines and beds Of such
miscellaneous vegetables as take up
little room and which can be cared for
by the housekeeper or a child. About
a fourth of an acre may be devoted. to
an orchard. This will give room for
ten or twelve apple trees and forty
plum trees. Beds of ginseng may be
cultivated between the rows Of trees.
One acre can best be devoted to pas
ture for a family COW and provide a
run for chickens when they cannot be
allowed to enter the garden This
leaves three-fourth of an acre for cul-
tivation. On it such things as can be
grown for family consumption, should
be raised. It will also serve for the
raising of a large part of the winter
forage necessary. for wintering a cow
and chickens, unless the owner prefers
to devote more time and raise as much
| as possible for the market. In that
case he may prefer not to keep a COW
and devote. the land otherwise devoted
! to q pasture, to cultivation. In any
case the land should be devoted to such
variety of crops as may be cared for
harvested and marketed in succession
The land might be divided into abou,
mine strips or plats, devoted to say, as
! paragus. raspberries. Strawberries, corn

A FEW HINTS ON CHRYsANTHE.
= NUNS

Few Of our flower enthusiasts know
that Hardy Chrysanthemums live out
doors during the winter as far north as
this. They have been tried for several
years with only slight protection, such
as pine bom%ghs, leaves or stray a doT
multiply rapidly. One thing very .pecu-
liar about them is that the different
soil has strong influence on the color
of the blossoms, more so than any other
plant. White Chrysanthemums turn
pale blue, and then again shade into
pink. Pink ones turned deep red by
transplanting them into other soil. They
certainly reward one for the little time
spent on them in their abundance OF
ers until Thanksgiving, as the flowers
stand quite hard frost.
