The sowing of some cover crop with
the last cultivation is a most excellent

Oats and peas, either separate or

1t is well known among those who
have made study of soil physics that
when left unprotected by a growth of
some kind there is a loss both In
plant food and in the humus content
of such soil
Hence in so far as is practicable
the wise husbandman will keep his
land covered with a growth OF some
sort.
1t is not practical to keep a cover
crop growing among small fruits
through spring and early summer. for

For pure enjoyment, give us chat
ing dish with a few good materials TO
prepare, and a good time will surely
be the answer. From soups to lob
ster salad, there is nothing the mind
of woman will not dare. The accom-
paniments of sandwiches and relishes
are, Of course. essential.
For the young woman who enter
tains her girl friends at college or
away from home, canned things are
the best and easiest to prepare. Many
delicious dishes may be prepared from
canned chicken, lobster, salmon and
peas.
Chicken Wiggle.-Melt a tablespoon.
full of butter, add two tablespoonful
OF -four, and when smooth add a pint
of milk very slowly, and boil. Then
add a can of chicken, can of peas,
salt, pepper. and just before serving,
beaten egg. Shrimp Wiggle is pre-
pared the same way, using shrimps in
stead of chicken.
Salmon Holandaise.-Melta table
spoonful of butter, add tablespoon
full of flour, and when smooth add a
can OF salmon and can of peas. Stir
until hot. Serve with lemon or put
lemon juice into the dish before serv-
ing. Serve on crackers.
A spread without candy is not to be
thought of. One nice candy which is
made without cooking is the follow
ing: Take a half pint cup, drop into
it a white of egg then pour in cold
water TO half fill the cup. Stir until
it is foamy, then mix as much pow
dered sugar into it as it will hold, I'M
til 1t can be handled. Then add flavor
color Add fruit to make variety of
kinds
Delicious Salad.-To go with any
spread this will honor the occasion:
A can OF shredded pineapple drained
from its juice, two cups pecans and
half pound Of marshmallows. May
onnaise with whipped cream to soften
it. This should really be called Am
brosia, a dish for the gods.

yet it is one which affords a maximum
OF roomlness downstairs, at the same
time separating the dining room
space to a certain extent from the
living room. An open stairway going
up along the rear wall of the living
room also adds to the apparent space.
This arrangement affords wonderful
possibilities for attractive interior
decorative effects. Such a space is
also very easily furnished for comfort
Another desirable feature of this
plan is the bedroom and bath on the
first floor, This is a feature very
much desired, but in the ordinary
house plan of this size it seems to be
"a difficult matter to arrange.

dates the ice box
On the second floor there are two
very nice bedrooms. besides one large
store room and three closets. One of
the bedrooms has a small alcove or
dressing room. which is a good fea-
ture.
The exterior of this house is very
attractive. Narrow siding is used
from the water table up to the second
story window sill course. Above this
cement plaster is used. 1t Is suggest
ed that both clspboard and plaster
work should be painted dark brown.
while the trimming should be white.
While creosoted shingles make a very
good roof for this design, other forms
of roofing of a more enduring and
fire resisting nature could well be
used In one instance, where this de-
align was carried ont to very good ef-
feet last year. the roof was covered
with metal Spanish tile.

There are no sure rules for finding
queen. 1t is somewhat a matter of
patience and practice. And yet atten-
ton to some things will help very
much. Go at it as quietly as possible,
using very little smoke, as smoke and
rough handling will alarm the bees
and set them to running, and then you
might as well give up the Job until
another time.
If the bees are Italians, queens can
usually be found at least on the third
or fourth frame taken out of the hive.
A practical beekeeper will first pull
out the center frame, and look for
freshly layed eggs. Failing to find
these he will take out another frame
from another portion of the brood
nest. If he finds the eggs, then he
has reasonable assurance that the
queen is somewhere in this part of
the hive. He looks the frames over
carefully, and, failing to find her, he
takes out the next one, each time fol.
lowing in the wake of the eggs. While
it no sure rule that the presence of
freshly layed eggs in any portion Of
the brood-nest is evidence that the
queen is in that part of the hive, yet,
generally speaking, she will be found
near them.
