RAISING GARDEN HERBS.
This Is a Practical Occupation Open
30 Woman Thrown on Her
Own Reso lrcss.

among the practical occupations
open to women that are thrown upon
their own resources without previous
training in any sort Of business is that
Of raising garden herbs,
There has never been sufficiency on
seasoning herbs to be had at any mar
ket; parsley, thyme, sweet marjoram,
bay leaf, mint, are always in demand
by those who know their value In the
proper cooking of savory dishes. Their
raising is neither difficult nor expen-
sive A small piece Of ground Will sup
ply any large private market establish
ment or green grocer, and 1t is work
that even delicate woman can under
take.
But she must, first of all, instruct
herself in the nature of the soil need
ed, the amount of sunshine, water and
general habits of the things she Is
going to raise, To do this it Is only
necessary for her to visit any good IL
brary and study books on the subject,
making notes and really learning, just
as if she were at school.
Then she must study how to get the
very best plants for her purpose; all
| florists and agriculturists are glad to
send catalogues for the asking, and,
while the gorgeous cuts exaggerate the
fecundity and appearance of their
wares, such catalogues are a help.
Once she knows the right soil to pre-
pare, the rest is easy, II she has no
boy neighbor to call upon to measure
and define the various beds, she can
simply tie stout cords to sticks stuck
in the ground to keep one variety from
running over the other. The spading
she may have to hire DONE and the
pulverizing of the soil, which is very
essential to success, most failures be-
ing due to the caking of imperfectly
prepared ground that either carries off
the water that is applied or allows 1t
to stand without penetrating the earth
to reach the roots of thirsty plants.
Take the fragrant garden mint as a
very fair example of an herb that is
well worth cultivating. have seen
single root spread in a couple of years
over 12-foot square of ground, and It's
healthy sprigs are always in demand.
The woman who wills to do so can
find a market for her mint the year
round, if she will care that it will not
freeze. Sweet mariOram grows fast
also, as do all these seasoning herbs,
and needs but little care when once,
started. Curly parsley makes a lovely
garnishing for a dish of croquettes or
for any sort of broiled meats or fish,
and never can there be too much
grown.
If to these be added chives and len
ills, there are always purchasers for.
these greens that make such delicious
spring salads. But this business must
be properly attended to if there is to be
a livelihood in it; like everything
else in this world, it amounts to moth
ing without a certain amount OF care
and trouble If there is a sudden bliz-
gard the plants must be protected; II
the midsummer sun is too hot, some
sort of shade must be evolved, and so
on through the list of watchful precau-
lions that are necessities to success
