has cast its spell so deeply that the
room must be devoted to one of these
pursuits. \ den under these condi-
tons achieves a much more interesting
expression than when it is used mere
" to sit in. But to whatever purpose
the den is put there are always numer-
GUS questions to be settled on it's be-
half. What shall be done with its
walls? What shall be laid over the
floor? Wat kind of furniture should
be adopted?
Few hOmemakerS realize the power
that the wall covering exerts over the
rest of the furniture. If this were
clearly understood there would be more
money spent upon the wall coverings
and less in proportion upon the furni-
ture and carpets, for the wall is the
chief harmonizing factor in every
apartment. The old phrase, "a little
knowledge is a dangerous thing" is
never more true than when applied to
house furnishing and especially the de-

that a red paper looks we'll in one room
in a certain house is too often to dis
cover that the same paper looks very
badly when introduced in another room
in different house. Many points must
be thought over and many considera-
lions be studied before the correct de-
cision can be made abouta wall hanging.
Color effect from the walls Of the den
can be best secured with a plain paper
or q pattern that Is printed in two
shades of one color. Red in its bright
est tone is so popular at the present
time that it's other and more beautiful
shades, orange, russell, brick and ma
hogany, are quite forgotten.
Yellow woodwork is one of the con-
spicuous failings in cheapIy built
houses. This is found in cypress, pine
and sycamore when it is finished in the
natural color with chellac or oil. 1t is
a sorry mistake to disregard this wood
work in selecting the wall paper. In
red none but a very dull shade agrees
with it artiStically. Green is the safest
choice, although buff and yellow or a
good tapestry can be used creditably.
The den can fortunately utilize many
articles that do not withstand the criti-
cism of the other rooms in the house.
In one home an old green carpet was
sent away to be cut into strips and be
rewoven into rug shape. In it's new
state the rug made a messy looking
covering for the den, both soft and
serviceable.

cured for the den, and one of the box

PRIZE HEAD LETTUCE.

hundred acres, producing about $4,000
pounds Of seed, are planted in CaIifor-
mia every year for seed alone More
than 5000 pounds Of one variety have
been used in a single year by one
American seed house.
Lettuce is a cool weather plant,
which succeeds best when grown in
the spring and autumn. It succumbs
to frost and cold if previously grown
in warm weather, but stands severe
weather if gradually hardened to it, so
much so that gardeners even as far
north as Long Island sometimes SOW
the seed in September and winter the
plants over outdoors, either entirely
unprotected or with only a slight Gov
ering Of brush. Under favorable con-
ditions the seed sprouts within three
or four days, but it may sometimes be
greatly delayed. When the weather is
dry or cold seed planted in September
may not sprout until the next spring
Self sOwn lettuce is common, and in
ferior seed is sometimes obtained from
such crops. Practically all the seed
used in this country is raised in Cali
fornia. Only a very small part of it is
imported, though perhaps not farther
back than 1880 the larger part Of it
came from abroad.
Lettuce does not readily cross fer
tilize in the field, and different varie-
ties are planted side by side with little
danger Of mixture. The plants are gen
oTo1 " fDy In, +I,o
as for market. Sometimes they are left
so close together that no heads are
formed, and this is said to produce in
ferior seed. 1t requires from thirty to
sixty plants to produce a pound Of
seed.
There are many important factors
which determine the variety best suit
ed for particular purposes. Some of
these are:
Differences In Soil and Climate.-The
cos varieties, for example, succeed
much better in England than in our
country, and everywhere market gar
deners find that certain kinds are best
adapted for their conditions Of soil and
climate.
The Season at Which the Plants Are
Grown.-Some kinds succeed well in
the spring, but shoot to seed at once in
hot weather and are of little use for
summer planting. Certain kinds are
very hardy to cold and winter success
fully outdoors unprotected, while other
varieties, especially the crisp sorts, are
failures for this purpose.
Methods Of Growing, Whether In
Greenhouses, Hotbeds or Cold Frames
and Whether Transplanted Into the
Open Air or Grown Directly In Place
Outdoors.-In field culture, where time
and space are not so important as in
greenhouses. it is more profitable to
grow the large varieties, which are
much later in season than those COM
monty grown under glass.

quirements of the Markets.-Some pre-

The American Farmer the Best In the World.

The American farmer is the greatest man
in the world to-day because he is master of
the soil-he Is gaining in intelligence quite
as rapidly as his products are increasing in
magnitude. Our recent combines of capital
in United States measured in money are
enormous, yet such figures sink into insig-
nihcRnce when compared to the money,
brain and Drawn invested in agricultural
industries. For instance, the farmers of
Minnesota and Dakota have received $780,
900, 900 for their products in single year.
The farmer knows what Nature will bring
forth for him from his experience in the
past. He knows if certain seeds are
planted and properly cared for that Nature
will take care of the rest. In the same
way you are master Of your O1GH destiny.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.
A Strict Regard For Discipline Pro-

A Strict Regard For Discipline Pro-
duces the Best Results.
AS a general rule woman becomes eff
hcient In business in proportion as she
can lay aside the peculiarities and pre-
negatives of her sex and become to all
intents and purposes masculine. This
Is not said in mitigation of the obvious
truth that indiscriminate contact with
men In employment tends to unsex wo-
man or In ignorance of the other fact
that in many pursuits the feminine
equipment fits its possessor for finer
type of service than most men can
reach. But, whenever an employees
relationship to the work becomes COM
plicated with the question Of her sex,
then there are friction, waste and an
impairment Of availability.
The moment that the business of an
Office or store has to be conducted on
the plan of a soiree there Is an end to
plain speech and quick work. 1t is not
enough that a woman can do the same
work as a man; she must be amenable
without friction to the same rules, dis
cipline and direct method as a man.
Otherwise she stands in her own light;
otherwise she will find herself pur-
chasing gallantry and palaver at the
cost of better pay.-Portland Oregoni-
