WORK AMONG THE FLOWERS

For worms in flower pots, take ono
teaspoonful of ground white pepper to
a quart of boiling water; or, two tea
spoonfuls of ground strong mustard
to quart Of boiling water. Let cool
little and saturate the soil.
In the hands of an experienced per-
son liquid manure is a great value; but
in the hands of novice disaster to the
plant may result from using it too
strong, or when the plant is at rest.
Begonias must have heat, a moist
atmosphere and shade. The dust and
dryness of tho air of the average sit
ting room is very unfavorable to them.
To keep the air moist have water
tight tray of zinc, Of any desired size,
and keep 1t full Of water, with little
charcoal in it to keep it sweet. Set .
brick in the water and rest the pots on
the brick. !.
Some roses-the Crimson Rambler,
for instance-seem- particularly liable
to mildew. II outdoors. the disease
may be kept in check by using the
ammoniacal solution of copper carbon
ate, applied faithfully with the spray
er about every two or three weeks, or
oftener, II the case seems to require
It.
Hyposulphate Of soda, used in the
proportion of half an ounce to ten gal
Ions of water, is a good spray. In
some cases nothing serves to do any
good.
II the home gardener would take
more interest in making the home sur
roundings attractive it would be a
good investment for him. Plant hardy
shrubs and dwarf trees and note the
effect.

NEED CARE IN COOKING
CEREALS MUST BE PREPARED
WITH ExAcTiTuDE.
To Bring Out the Full Food valu at
the Grain Requires Skill and
Thought on the Part Of
the Housewife.

We have no fault to find with the
many excellently prepared and CO.
called cooked cereals which from time
to tine are found appetizing and
agreeable in appearance, but there Is
also need of cereals which require
long. continued cooking to extract the
full value of the grain and bring 1t to
q delicious creaminess. In this class
are oatmeal, wheat. hominy, rice and
corn. BY whatever mime the various
ground preparations are called. they
all need continued, intense cooking to
burst the starch cells, soften the sur
rounding husk tissues, and make them
thoroughly fit for human food.
Cracked wheat is a coarse form of
wheat with particularly nutty flavor.
So-called whole or "pinhead" oat-
meal has advantages over the more
usual rolled" form. Good hominy,
which is now no longer prepared with
lye. is another breakfast food which
should. be more frequently used.
Cornmeal, although fallen into disre-
spect and considered common, per-
haps, is one of the best of cool wealth.
err cereals. 1t is rich in starch and fat
and thus in heat-producing qualities.
Oatmeal is the one cereal containing
the largest amount of protein or mus
cle.forming nutriment. That is, 1t Is
comparable to meat or any cereals,
and contains less starch. 1t is there
fore, perhaps, the cereal which should
be most frequently given to the grow
ing child. The whole grain must be
soaked all day and then steamed sew
eral hours, but in this form it fur
nishes q splendid and sufiicient break
fast cereal.
Next to oatmeal comes wheat with
a higher per cent of starch. 1t should,
however. be used in as nearly the nat
ural state as possible-that Is, the
cracked grain with the outer coat re-
naming In which are stored the i'm
portant mineral elements which make
bone and the best kind of tissue. HON.
my is almost entirely starch and there.
fore needs the most perfect cooking
in order that the starch shells may be
adequately burst and cooked.
For all of these cereals either q
, steam cooker or fireless cooker ID
preferable. Given a half hours quick
boiling at night they may be placed
in the flreless cooker, preferably with
the heated radiator under them, and
allowed to cook slowly with the re-
tanned heat of the freless. Sufficient
water should always be put on them
to allow perfect swelling Of each grain.
Such cereals. when properly cooked,
are not "mush" but of Z uniform,
creamy consistency. 1t may take time
o. rather q little more effort to cook
cereals properly, but the effort 10
more than repaid in the quality of the
food. The cool weather cereal should
be q point of special care with the
housewife. $3.50

HANDLING FLOWER POTS
By IDA N. ShEPLER.

Casters we know are cheap. Five
cents apiece, and four of these fas-
tened In the discarded legs Of an old
table, bed, or even if these are not
at hand, four pieces of square pine
wood on which you can nail long
shallow box.
This Is really good stand on which
to slip your window plants in their
pots. Fill the shallow box half full OF
sand, bed the pots in this sand, which
absorbs the moisture from the pots,
saving the carpet below and sending
some of it back Into the plant roots.
OF course the box should be painted a
good color.
. have seen for this arrangement the
combination of the legs painted green
and the box done in lattice like stripes
of white and green. Make the box as
long Is you have room each side Of
the window (not measuring just the
window space itself, as then one can
alternate the pots, bringing the end
pits in turn to the middle and direct
light.
On very cold nights, as glass draws
frost as we'll as heat, flowers often get
nipped. A box for plants resting on
casters is easily drawn away from the
window direct, and can be pushed back
the next morning.
These casters are also convenience
when sweeping about the window. Any
woman who keeps house plants in her
room can, herself, make two or three
window boxes, legs and all, picked up
from where carpenters are building.
These boxes, of course, are used
mainly in windows that are kept for
the saving Of plants for spring, and yet
they can contain an assortment OF
flowers, which, banked back of win
dow, give an effective picture Of beauty
to the passer-by as we'll as to the in
mates of the room.
For small window, and one from
which you must get light for the room,
be sparing of the plants. There is moth
ing pretty in dark room, the cause of
which is the window literally hung and
placed full of all manner of foliage.
It is such a mistake to fill up win
dow so full of plants and vines In win.
ter that one can neither get light for
reading nor sight of the prettier world
outside. A few plants, in small win
dow, artistically arranged, is much
happier scheme.
If you are buying winter plants from
the florist, don't unwrap the roots until
ready to pot them, but be sure to give
the soil in which the plant roots are
bedded, plenty of water-keep them
literally soaked in water, and by the
time you are ready to pot, II it be but
two hours after, you will find the plant
wonderfully refreshed.
