Picked Peppers.

Choose rather large peppers; wash
clean, cut of the tops and scrape out
all seeds. Fill with a mixture made as
follows: To two quarts of finely crop
ped cabbage add four large onions,
about two tablespoonful OF pepper
seed, two tablespoonfuls Of salt, and
either two cupfuls of chopped celery,
or one-half teaspoonful of celery seed.
Pack the peppers as solidly as posi-
Bile, taking care not to burst them, and
press the tops back on. Lay in Jars
or crooks and cover with hot vinegar.
To one gallon of vinegar use about
half water IL the vinegar is very
strong, add four cups of sugar and a
tesspoonful of mixed spices: any
spice liked extra well can be used.
Cover the peppers and set away
where cool. They do not need seal
ing.

But as we cannot all have perfect

Rhubarb.

How few rhubarb plants one sees
growing and how nice that old-fash,
toned spring tonic is! Considering
the fact that It costs practically moth
ing to plant 1t and the plants come up
year after year, there is no reason
why We should not, all Of US, have all
of the pieplant pie that we can eat
every spring. Half dozen hills will
supply an average family.
Harvest time for rhubarb Is the
spring and early summer, but we fire.
quently get second crop in the fall.
Sandy loan is best for this plant,
but it will grow well in any rich,
warm, moist soil. You cannot get the
soil too rich for rhubarb, and it does
not stand drouth very we'll
Do not try to grow the plants from
seed II you can secure root cuttings
from good, strong old hill. Each
cutting should have two buds or eyes.
Plant them In rows three feet apart,
with the eyes an inch below the sur.
face. They will begin to grow at once
and, If planted early, a few stalks
can be pulled the first year.
AS fast as seed stalks appear cut
them of. If very fine, large stalks
are wanted, and why not have the
best, thin out all but the center buds,
80 that the entire strength Of the
plant will feed these.
After the leaves are cut back by
frost in the fall cover the plants with
four inches of straw or manure. This
prevents freezing and makes the next
years crop earlier.
While the plants will start early,
at the same time the leaves will not
push through this covering until after
danger Of spring frosts is past, hence
1t should not be removed too soon.
Many commercial growers keep the
soil covered with straw the year
round in order to keep weeds down
and hold moisture without cultivation.
Cover the plants in the winter any.
way. 1t will avoid disappointment
and increase the plant food.
Every three or four years it is ad.
visable to dig up the plants, divide
them and replant in another spot. II
this Is not done, the plants run out
and the stalks grow small and pithy.
Division and ne~ location start
them of again as good as new.
Any surplus can always be sold in
the spring at good price as we seem
to have natural craving for the fresh
green acid qualities OF this old-time
pie fruit" Eat lots Of It. Eat 1t raw
and cooked, in pies and out OF pies,

for winter, but grow It yourself II you

when it comes out of your own patch.
And, furthermore it is a much better
spring tonic than sulphur and mo

WOMEN MAN FLEET
They Do More Than Men in the
Welsh Village of LlangWm.
Builders Of Houses, Too--Mrs. Mary
Palmer, 90 Years Old, Tells Of
Days Work Carrying 100 Pounds
of Oysters to Market.

London.-A special correspondent
OF the Daily Mirror sends from Hav-
erford an interesting account Of con-
ditions in the village Of Langwln,
Pembrokeshire, where women man"
the fishing feet, and at times even
build the houses. They actually work
harder than the men.
Never in all my experience have /
known such industry or such uncom-
planning effort" the Rev. d. NJ. Pryse,
the Baptist minister, said. Mr. Pryse
and the rector are the only two
Welshmen living in this village, for
all the rest of the $50 persons. all re-
lated to each other, are descended
from the Flemings, who settled near
athere in 1875.
Mrs. Mary Palmer, aged So, is a re-
markable old woman She walks with
a stick now, and age is making the
burrows deep in her forehead, but un-
til a few years ago she tramped for
miles selling fish, which she carried
in a pannier on her shoulders.
Yes, l have fished in Milford Ha-
ven," she said. ever since was a

the boats as well as the men, and, al.

WHAT TO PLANT AND WHEN
Advice by an Expert on Agricultural
hstters-How to Plan the Garden
-Fcr the Chicken Raiser
Grow Rhubarb.
BY PROP. JOHN WILLARD soLrE.

We are frequently asked to give sug.
gestions regarding the best way to
utilize the ordinary city back yard for
gardening purposes. Space does not
! permit of our answering such a COM
! prehensiye question for each inquirer
and we take this opportunity to cover
| the subject in detail.
| Let US suppose that your back yard
La about 25 feet wide and so feet deep.
1t is fenced in and is pretty sunny
most of the day There is a back
gate and a walk leading from the
house to the gate. How shall we lay
out our garden to get the greatest
amount Of returns in fruit and at the
same time secure the most beautiful
effect.
In the first place, give fruit and
vegetables the right Of way, using
grass and flowers to fill in the odd cor
ners. Most Of our fruit bearing shrubs
and trees are as beautiful as any flow
ering shrubs, many OF the fruits them
selves are highly decorative, and our
anticipation of harvest time lends a
verg tangible interest, which is lack
ing in merely decorative plants.
Plant a row Of dwarf pear trees fat
along the south side of one wall and
train them in the espalier, vine like,
form on trellis Use Dwarf Sickle
and Bartlett pears. Along the wall
facing east plant dwarf peaches tCraw-
fords are fine) and train them in the
same way. Plant from four TO six feet
apart and allow from four to six main
branches to grow.
Dwarf cherries or dwarf apples may
be planted against the other walls,
where they will take up very little
room, but care must be taken that
plants near the north side Of any wall
are far enough away to get some sun
shine
A very satisfactory plan for the
walk Is TO cover 1t with a latticed
pergola and train grapes over It, Della
ware grapes on the shadier side and
Concords on the sunny. Grapes make

close to the pears. and three rows of
20 plants each Of blackberries, rasp-
berries and currants will I'LL up the
half of the garden next to one long
side and the balance can be devoted
to vegetables and flowers.
We prefer dwarf fruit trees to the
full sized ones because they come into
bearing very early, require much less
care. and produce fined fruit in very
good quantity. Dwarf pears are very
satisfactory. Prune and fertilize and
spray properly and your dwarf fruit
trees will bear heavily every year.
By planting them against the sunny
side Of wall and training like vines,
the fruit natures earlier, the trees
decorate the wall and they take up
much less room than If planted in the
open. The amount of edible fruit pro-
duced will BIO nearly as great. Try
some dwarf fruit trees yourself this
year.
