| hats may be used to prop over a deli
cate new plant, and as straw allows
| the air to circulate it will not be en-
tirely deprived of oxygen. Stones laid
on the hatbrims will keep them from
blowing away on a windy day.
Castoff fruit baskets are excellent to
cover transplated plants. They pro-
vide sufficient shade and do not smoth-
er the plants because the openings let
in air. They are very light to handle
and easy to store because they set into
each other, besides being sufficiently
| durable to last an entire season or
longer. They cost nothing, can be
collected and saved for the purpose,
and weather does not destroy them
quickly or winds blow them easily
about Use peach baskets for the lar
ger plants. plum and grape baskets
for smaller plants, or for two or three
of the very smallest, and strawberry
baskets for the smallest of all. Even

ITEMS OF INTEREST
BRUSSELS SPROUTS.

Easy to Raise and Profitable if Prop
erIy Marketed.
Brussels sprouts may be easily
grown in the ordinary home vegetable
garden The plant is a close relative Of
the cabbage and caulifiower, but in
stead of producing single head forms
q number of small ones in the axis of
the leaves, and these heads are called
sprouts and are the edible rart of the
vegetable. The sprouts average one or
two inches in diameter.
The seed should be sown in the open
ground as early as the weather per-
mits. When the plants are three inches
high they should be transplanted or
thinned out into rows twenty-four to
thirty inches apart and about two feet
apart in the row. The plants must be
we'll watered after they have been
moved.
AS the small sprouts begin to crowd
the leaves should be broken from the
stem to give the small heads more
room. A few leaves should be left at
the top of the stem where the new
heads are formed.
In warm climates the plants may be
left in the open ground all winter, the
heads being removed as desired, but
in more northern ATTITUDES plants that
are well laden with heads are taken up
when frost comes and set close to-
gether in a pit or cellar or "cold
frame" or bed covered with glass.
With a little soil packed about their
roots they may in this way be kept all
winter, being used when needed. When

THE FISH IN HIS BED.
Funny Climax to an Angling Expert
ence of General GalIifet.

CuSC VI 0GHCIdi NGititShs
Long ago. in the days of the second
empire, General Gallifet was the aid
de-camp of Napoleon Ill. At st. Cloud
his quarters were just over the i'm
perial bedroom. Everything around
him was very grand and very gloomy.
The window of his room looked upon
the pond that washed the walls of the
chateau. The water was clear and
the surrounding scenery was beautiful.
but the young lieutenant felt like a
prisoner Early one morning, while
seated at his window trying to drive
away the blues with a cigar. he espied
below in the crystal water an enor-
nous carp. The instinct of the angler,
strong in Gallifet, made the young
mans eyes snap and set his heart
throbbing
The big fish was the private property
OF the emperor Consequently for Gal
lifet it was forbidden fish. But it was
such fine fellow! The resistance of
the soldiers conscience was useless. 1t
surrendered Internationally. The re-
L1ldllllAS pau vi lnC dSdlhol
the carp was simple enough. Gallifet
went to his trunk, brought out his
trusty line to which he fastened a
hook and an artificial bait. With his
accustomed skill he cast his line. The
carp was hooked and hauled in through
the window
Here the lieutenant's fun ended and
his trouble began. The fish, landed
upon a table, overturned a large globe
filled with water and caromed from
that to a magnificent vase, which 1t
also upset and smashed to pieces upon
the floor. Then it began to execute
genuine pas de carpe among the smith
Greens.
The emperor, hearing the strange
racket overhead and seeing the water
trickling through the ceiling, was as
tonished. He rushed upstairs to find
out what was the matter. Gallifet
heard him coming and endeavored to
grab the carp and throw it out of the
window and thus destroy the evidence
Of his poaching in the imperial pond.
But the slippery thing was hard to
hold. so he tossed it into a bed and
covered it up with the bedclothes.
When the emperor entered the room,
he noticed Immediately the quivering
bedclothes He pulled them down and
uncovered the fOundering fish. His
majesty's face assumed an almost Jim.
Jamie expression. which gradually
faded into faint smile. He took in
the entire situation, saluted and left
the future war minister to mediate
upon the mysteries Of a fisherman's
luck.

The Good Housewife

You look at the housewife
who has a place for her things
and these things in their
places, and you find a woman
who is systematic in her work;
and when she needs any thing
she can put her hands on it in
a moment, She plans and
calculates whenever there is
to be extra work, extra cook
ing, extra washing, ETC., and
she knows beforehand just
what there is to do, and what
she wants to do it with. Her
work moves along like clock
work, and when the clock
strikes twelve she is ready to
put the vituals on the table.
The men are not hindered-
they eat their dinner and get
out of the way, and her work
goes on according to pro-
gram and nobody's time is
wasted by her procrastin-
alton, She is on time, the
glory of her husband, the
beloved of her children, the
admired of all who know her.
And this same woman, so ex-
act in her doings. gets more
time to rest and read and in
struct her children in the
paths of right and the social
duties they owe to all. Ladies,
we hope you are OF this class

Sprayinu Potato Vines.

The number of sprayings it will be
necessary to give potatoes depends
somewhat upon the season. If rainy
weather prevails it will be necessary
to spray more frequently than if it be
comparatively dry, not only because
the rain will wash the spray material
off the vines, but also because damp
weather is favorable to the develop
ment of the disease. A good general
rule is to begin spraying when the
vines are about six inches high and
spray every ten days or two weeks
throughout the season.-W. J. Green.

Alfalfa and Water.

To grow alfalfa we must first of all
provide soil which is dry by nature
or which is underdraned If we dig
post hole four feet deep and find wa
ter we may know that alfalfa will not
grow there. There is an old saying
which expresses this, alfalfa will not
grow with wet feet" Though it seeks
water in a deeper soil and the roots
penetrate very deeply indeed in an old
where the water rises to within four
feet Of the surface.

Morning Greetings

Don forget to say good morning.
Husbands, when you leave your
door
For the duties of the Office,
Or the labors Of the store;
Press a kiss upon the fond lips
OF the wife you leave behind;
Lighter far will seem the days work,
AS you call it 10 your mind.
Don't forget TO say good morning
To the children, parents all,
When you meet their l'.vi"g chances

Every or ttirg word we Say:
Oar sgood nights" and our 'gcod
mornings
Chase unkind'y thoughts away.
They give rest to weary watchers,
To the week impart new power,
While The good within the greeting
Seems to fall on every hour.
Every member of a commun-
ity, especially every parent
should take a deep interest
in the public school. 1t is
not enough to pay yourschool
tax without complaining, OF
to know that the teachers are
qualified, norris it even enough
to keep your children in
school regularly. If you are
really interested in the sub
ject DIS you should be, you
should visit the SchOOl fegu-
larly and persistently. Few
people have any idea what an
centive it is to both teacher
and scholar to know that par
cuts and outsiders are taking
lively interest in their work.
We believe the ''little folks
at school appreciate such in
terest more perhaps than the
larger ones. Still the effect
is not lost On any Of them,
and we hope very parent will
take a hint from this and place
the public school on their Wis
iting list.

Woman's Kingdom

Every woman who takes
conscience for her guide has a
right to feel that home is
peculiarly woman's kingdom,
knowing that all love, all pure
thots, all religion and govern
ments, if one would have them
flourish, must have their
roots beneath it's altar. Let
no wife, who would be loved,
honored and happy, forget
that home duties must ever
stand first. No matter what
high ambitious aspirations
may have impressed her be
fore marriage, or how high
she may be conscious her
talents and influences are
capable of reaching, when
that solemn VOW is taken that
makes the twain One-fOr
"better or worse'-before all
else, she must give all the
energy and love she possesses
to building a perfect home,
and she must never lose sight
of this high vocation. She
must be it's mistress, but never
it's slave, That she has made
it immaculate in cleanliness
and resplendent In beauty is
not enough. She must feed
the love and truth which
should unitedly govern it.
What power or dignity can
reach higher? What is the
ability to sway large audi
ences over a home with such
skill that husband and child
rem shall rise up and call ner
blessed? To be the ruling
spirit in such a position is a
more sacred honor than to
rule an empire. "Woman's
rights!"Has man any higher
or more noble? And when
husband and wife see eye to
eye and heart to heart, one in
the interests of home, they
have reached as near perfect
ion as we are allowed to hope
for while on earth.

PLANT PROTECTION.
Ways Of Shielding Them From the Hot

Ways of Shielding Them From the Hot,
Direct Rays of the Midday Sun.
If plants are not protected from high
winds and too much sun they will not
flourish, especially in the early stages
Of their growth. This is particularly
true of the plants in the vegetable gar
den, and fortunately there are many
easy and simple methods of providing
them with shade. Empty soap boxes
raised on blocks, empty fruit baskets,
rolls of carpet and mating spread out
on supports to look like awnings may
all be used. Old mattings or carpets
that have seen their best days may en-
Joy new lease of life as plant COW
erings. The great thing Is to cover
the plants so that they will be shady,

She Had Red Burns.

The philanthropic lady was visiting
Glasgow slum and had just been
ushered into a house where the good
wife was engaged washing. Her en-
deavor was to elevate the minds Of the
poor, and she asked. "Have you read
Burns?"
In answer the good wife barred her
brawny arm and displayed large red
mark, saying: "There's wan l got this
