One Of the best mixtures for the

with one part Of white clover, sown

Equally good results are usually OBJ

Of the blue grass or with equal parts
Of redtop and blue grass and little
white clover. When moisture is plen-
tiful the blue grass forms q softer turf
than the redtop, but does not seem to
endure drought so well. In shady
places the blue grass mixture is best.
Nothing but pure seed should be sown.
1t is well to be liberal with the seed,
not to scatter 1t too thinly and to re-
seed portions that come up poorly.

Brussels sprouts may be easily
grown in the ordinary home vegetable
garden. The plant is close relative Of
the cabbage and caulihower, but In
stead of producing single head forms
a number Of small ones In the axis Of
the leaves, and these heads are called
sprouts and are the edible part 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
well 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 a "cold
frame' or bed covered with glass.
With little soil packed about their
roots they may in this way be kept all
winter, being used when needed. When
boiled or stewed with cream they are

conservative calculations of the depart

loss of $65.OO0OO0 by reason of the
thousands Of cattle which succumb to
