The little ~six-year-old daughter OF a

MONEY IN cAULIFLoWER CROP
Little Chance for Success Unless
Planted Early, as Plant Needs
Cool Air and Soil.

(By WILLIAM Fl. UNDERWOOD.)
I have grown caulihower for a num-
Der of years and have found 1t a very
price in the market.
Soil hat will produce cabbage is
suitable for cauli1ower, provided 1t is
enriched with well rotted manure The
manure should be thoroughly mixed
with the soil and the ground put in the
best possible condition.
, When the seeds begin to grow l
give the plants sufficient air to keep
them from rotting off. AS soon as the
take them up and transplant them
two inches apart each way and keep
them we'll watered. l expose the
plants to the open air before time
to plant outdoors SO as to harden
them. I find that few plants die when
treated in this manner.
Several hours before setting out l
give the plants a thorough soaking in
the hot bed. When ready to set the
plants 1 mark off the ground three
feet each way and set the plants some
what deeper than they grow in the
hot bed and press the earth firmly
about them.
AS caulifiower requires a cool at
mosphere and a cool, moist soil, there
is little chance of ucces unless it is
planted very early In order to come
on before the heat of summer, or it
may be planted late and come In dur
ing the cool weather of fall.
In ~culttvating 1 use a %one-horse
cultivator twice a week. going both
ways when the plants are small. When
they come to maturity and the flowers
appear, I cover the flowers with a leaf
Of the plant early every morning. 1

FROM SLOT NIAgHIHt
One May Buy Stamps and Insur.
ance Policies.
In New York a Machine viii Vend
Your Dinner and at Coney Is
land Palms Are Read
Automatically.

Kansas City, Mo.--'Two stamps,
please a traveller at u of the no
tells said to the mail clerk. Instead OF
selling the stamps the mai! clerk
pointed to a machine q few feet away,
THAT machine will sell you stamps"
And the traveller dropped a nickel In,
to a slot and out popped two 2-cent
postage stamps.
1t Is very simple and operated on
he order of a gun slot machine.
There are two places in which to drop
coins. In both the mount must be a
scent piece. One receives for his
nickel either four 1-cent stamps or a
pair of 2-cent stamps.
In the same room of the hotel there
is a slot machine which sells a thou
sand dollar accident insurance policy,
effective for twenty-four hours, and
the price is five cents. While some
persons doubt the wisdom Of buying
this machine vending insurance, there
is one point In Its favor-one's time
is not taken by an agent.
AS o as the nickel goes into the
machine there Is the clicking of a
spring which stamps the exact time
the policy is issued. A handle Is
turned and out comes the policy. The
person getting the policy must write
his name on the stub and separate 1t
where it Tear here" The stub
on which the name has been written
must be poked into a slot and then
the insurance Is effective.
Automatic machines are almost as
old as civilization, but each year sees
some new machine added to the list.
The stamp and insurance vending de-
vices come under the new classified
ton, as do many others. For example
on T~wenty-third street, in New York,
there is what Is known as the Auto
mat, a restaurant where soup and al
most any food desired may be pur-
chased by contributing certain sums
in a slot machine.
For several years there has been a
shoe shining machine where n may
have his shoes shined. There is what
is known as a mutiphone, which plays
t~wenty-four distinct Edison records.

Killing Quack Grass.

Quack grass is a perennial M the
roots must be cut of under the sur
face. Shave OF the plants by running
a shallow furrow. If plower deeply
the roots will not be much injured
and will come up again. A good way
is to harrow out as many roots as
possible after they have started in the
spring and then follow with the pillow
as often a. they show up strong.
Plant to millet or b~uckwheat in the
late summer as these crops have a
tendency to smother quack grass.
