thing on small scale for private
use. Although it is rather late
now, still if one has plants that are
alive, though standing still in his
garden at this time, it might sur
prise him<if he would take few Of
them and put under glass, spaced
twelve or fifteen inches, and well
watered, to see how quickly they
would develop.
Forcing lettuce under protection
of glass has few difficulties. The
plants after a week or two of set
tling and roofing should have plen-
ty of moisture, and on warm days
plenty of air. If the sun strikes
them directly in warm weather, un-
less they are we'll aired, they may
perish quickly And on the other
hand too much moisture in close
confinement may cause them to
damp" off and rot. So also after
they are heading they should be
watered without wetting the leaves.
Again, the the gardener who has
no plants on hand now might SOW
seed for spring garden, and the seed
might come up in reasonable time.
But the probability is that they
would lie dormant for several weeks
yet, without any actual benefit by
the early planting. If on the other
hand he will take the trouble to SOW
the seed inca box that can be kept
in warm room in the house with
southern exposure, and moved on
the outside on very warm days he
ought to have plants ready to set
out in the garden three or four
weeks earlier than he would other
wise. Very little "hardening"would
be required, for lettuce, though
apparently very tender will stand
very cold weather, specially when
young.
Headed lettuce will suffer more
from severe freeze, however. Two
yearsago, in Florida, in January, 1
saw an acre of beautiful lettuce, and
early cabbage, black and rotting,
from a severe freeze.
Soil Selection.
In selecting place to grow let
tuce always pick out spot that has
enough sand in it to make the soil
mellow. Clay land that holds wat
er and freezes outward, or spews
up" frost will not do. A rich, warm
sandy soil is best.
So much has been written already
about the commercial growing of
lettuce, around Charleston and
Beaufort, that we refrain from say
ing more. One of our farmers re-
Gently went to Beaufort to look
things over and returned to tell re-
markable stories of the fortunes be-
ing made out of lettuce, its posi-
bilities, etc. But he intimated that
the daring and enterprise and ener-
gy displayed there made him be-
lieve that the fortunate ones were

Eating Roasting Ears an Art That
REQUIRES n Poets Fancy.

Don't cut it down and eat it with a
spoon. Don't stick silver spikes in
the end and run it as lathe. Don't
break il into nubbins and nibble it
from between the forefnger and the
thumb. This is no dinky business. 1t
is as big as the morning sunshine. 1t
is not just eating; it Is not keeping
soul and body together. 1t Is letting
the soul out, letting it range over
broad acres Of waving corn, that riv-
al the heavens in glory and extent, the
finest token Of eartn's richness and
prodigality anywhere seen Catch
onto that. Flaunt your fancy about
in the limitless ocean of sunshine and
showers, of which the roasting ear is
only a wisp of the creamy spray.
This thing of tackling roasting
ear, like stolid mute, for the corn
itself, lowers ii to the level of pick
ing up chips or running an errand;
he is Just satisfying an appetite and
might as we'll eat fried onions with a
caseknife. That kills hunger. IL

corn has a higher mission than that.

eager fists and goes at it with an OPP

Eat it on the cob; the whole cob;
the longer the better. Take it asi ma
ture gives it to you-in It's naked
beauty, in its jeweled lovliness, in its
juicy richness: Don't peck 1T as a

tints of morn, the soft gales OF the
afternoon, the glow Of the starlight,
the hymn of the sparrow, the laugh

rainbow-they are all there for the
alert soul that has n fancy above
food. He who does not see them nor
feel them is not worthy of roasting

But the main thing il the reckless
ness id the eating it, the joyous aban-

glory of the act, mindless OF napkin,

on the cob than he can skin cat.

Last Friday, about 6.25 o'clock en-

into an open switch at Highfield. En-
CINE $50, in charge OF engineer Wal
ter Martz and fireman Emory Fauth,
was in front and it turned complete
ly upside down. Martz jumped from
the cab and escaped injury, but
Fauth, who also jumped was caught
by the coal falling from the tender,
and was buried In 1t, suffering severe
injuries. The second engine, No.617,
was In charge OF engineer AL. Will

This engine barely missed turning

More rain has fallen in the county
during the week than for many years.
The water sources, which were well
nigh exhausted are replenished but
considerable damage was done to the
roads All the streams throughout
the county have overfiowed their
banks and a number Of small bridges
have been washed away. One Of the
return judges of election in Myers
district states that in driving to this
city he had to pass over a road that
was inundated for half a mile, the
water in places reaching the bed of
his buggy. Public roads throughout
the county have been damaged con-
siderably. The tracks OF the Western
Maryland Railway are under water
at several places, but have not been
badly DANCED. Owing to the heavy
rainfall the official count OF the re-
turns of Tuesdays primary election
has been very slow. r-.-

Orchard and Garden.

Thin the fruit if it needs it; this
Is a better paying method than prop
ping branches.
Place a two-pound paper bag over
each bunch Of grapes when the fruit
is the size OF small shot This pro
tects the grapes from insect and bird
injury, and insures exrra-choice clus-
tiers. Fasten the mouth OF the bag
close about each stem, with pin, Or
wire, or string.
Cultivate the Spring-set strawberry
bed regularly and often Keep the
soil loose and mellow, and let no
weeds get a foot-hold. After enough
runners have rooted, cut of all sur
plus ones the same as if they were
weeds. OF you are practicing the
hill system, keep off the runners).
Look out FOR the blighted twigs and
branches on pear trees. No remedy
is known for this bad disease, except
to cut out the infected parts prompt
ly and burn them. BE sure to cut
we'll below the diseased wood. Dis
infect the pruning implement by dip
ping it frequently in strong solution
of carbolic acid.
The little brown slug that defoli-
ates the pear, plum and cherry trees
during the summer season is one Of
the easiest of our insects to control
No one need allow this insect to do
any injurious harm to his trees, If
he will thoroughly use the remedy
here given. Steep two ounces of
fresh white hellebore In one gallon
OF water, and use as spray when
the slugs are first seen. Stir the mix
ture often; o., better yet, have an
agitator attachment On the pump.
Sometimes there IS a second brood
of the slugs, necessitating second
spraying. July Farm Journal.
