WOMAN RUNS BIG
PEPPERMINT FARM
Counts on Clearing $40 an
Acre Each Year, and
Sometimes More

If there are other women in tho
country who own and manage their
own peppermint farms l have never
heard of them" said a woman from
Southwestern Michigan who came on
TO New York to spend the Christmas
holidays, according TO the New Yorl:
Sun. II have forty acres under culti-
walton, and 1 keep at least half of IL
in peppermint all the time.
Peppermint is my money crop, and
I count on clearing $40 an acre each
year and sometimes half as much
more. While the price Of the oil Of
peppermint fluctuates from 81 to s. a
pound, It hardly ever drops below 81
for very long at a time. When il
does you should be able to hold your
crop until the prices rise.
''The farm came TO my mother and
me about IA years ago with mortgage
for about two-thirds its value. The
advice of my friends was for us to
sell out and move to town. My mother
could keep boarders and / must get a
position in a shop or office. they said
Contrary to all this, l wanted To
stick to the farm. and as mother was
willing we determined to see II

had heard and seen enough about
growing mint To be pretty sure that
my land was suited to the crop
1T is said that mint will grow on
any land that will raise white pota
toes. but does best on reclaimed farm
land. Well. our land is not reclaim
ed swamp, but it is all low ground
and very fertile.
For planting peppermint the land Is
prepared by deep blowing and thor
ough narrowing. IT is then marked
with burrows about three feet apart
The roots selected for planting should
/ he sound and vigorous. usually
/ take only those that are from one
eighth to three-quarters of an incl
thick and anywhere from one to thre,
feet long.
These roots are SGT in the burrows IL
such "A way as TO form one continuous
line. In setting them out I have founC
that the easiest and best method is fo
the workers-men. women. boys ol
girls-to carry the roots i'm bai
swung about their necks and to cove
with their feet as they set the root
in place. This method covers Tia
roots as soon as they are taken from
the bag and does not leave them eX
posed to the air for the moisture e
evapOrate."

WINTER FLOWER GARDENS
They Brighten the Home With a Sug-
eestion of Summer.

Few people know how cheerful
home can be made TO appear, even
though il be very modest. If the win
dows are adorned with beautiful thirty
ing plants and vines They give an
air Of summer by their presence which
every one enjoys
Where the windows are light and
sunny. facing the southeast. many
Towering plants may be enjoyed: but
there are a number of plants that will
bloom quite we'll i'm partialiy-shadcd
windows. Among those we find I'M
patiens. sultana, Crassula cordata
Lopesia rosea, Chinese primrose. some
of the begonias, and Sedumss Most
of the foliage plants, as Ficus elastica
Dracaenas, Asparagus plumosa and
sprengeri, the ferns and Rex begonias
and Aspidistra, are all somewhat
partial to a shaded window. The last
named is perhaps. one OF the best. as
it will thrive under rougher treatment
than almost any other plant. Where
only shaded windows can be had for
growing plants. it is better to confinc
oneself principally to the foliage plants
Every flower-love- must make a study
of plants to a certain extent. TO know
what kinds will grow most successfully

The many Holland-grown bulbs that
are now imported I'm great numbers 10y

that they require very little attention
They can be bought so very cheaply
that no one need be without few

Introduoinu stranaers.

The etiquette of introduction is not
we'll known 10 everyone, although
most persons suppose it is. Shyness
is the cause of as many mistakes as
ignorance, however. There is some
thing about the making and receiving
of an introduction that is confusing
to all kinds of people.
These simple rules will keep you
straight if you don't get self-conscious
and stumble over them:
Always present a man to lady.
Always ask permission of the lady
if you have the time; if not use the
form. "NIrs Blank, may 1 present Mr..
Dash?"
Always Introduce a younger woman
to an older one.
Also present young girl to a dis
tinguished older man.
In introducing two girls or ladies' OF
equal age and station, it is informal to
say. Miss Blank, do you know Miss
Dash?"
