VEGETABLES FOR WINTER USE

In the garden, plan to supply the
family table with as many of the de
sired vegetables as the size of garden
permits. Plan TO include a few extra
rows of string beans, peas, corn, car
rots, beets, spinach and a few extra
tomato plants to produce surplus for
canning. Often in the home garden
there are enough vegetables wasted to
keep the table supplied all winter If
they were only put into cans, glass
jars or otherwise preserved. 1t is
possible to can vegetables in such a
manner that they will lose little of
their attractive color and flavor, and
il only the effort is made TO care for
the surplus this summer, 1t Will add
greatly to the menu and reduce the
cost of living next winter. Most
house wives can a quantity Of fruits,
jellies and tomatoes, but very few at
tempt the vegetables because they
canned peas and string beans once
that spoiled. These people and others
interested in canning vegetables
should write to the Agricultural FIX
tension Service at Burlington and ask
for information concerning canning
vegetables, or better still, get the
housewives of the community inter
ested and ask the Extension Service
for canning demonstration this sum
mer.
There are several vegetables which
can be stored in pits or cellars and
which help to make the winter meals
more attractive and economical.
Onions, squash and pumpkins should
have a cool, dry place where they will
not freeze. Celery, leek, cabbage and
caulihower keep best in an outdoor
pit, but may be kept in a cold, frost
proof cellar. The roots such as car
rots, beets, parsnips, turnip, ruta- !,
bagas and satisfy may be stored in a
pit, or in boxes of moist sand in the
cellar
Celery and leek should be taken up
with roots and planted in moist soil on
a cellar floor or in pit, Parsley may
be kept growing during winter by
potting few roots and treating them
as house plants.
The roots for storage should be ten
der. Latc-sown beets and turnips are
much better in winter than those lcfs
from the early seedlings, which have
grown hard and woody before being
stored.
To add greater variety to the win
ter stored and canned vegetables, il
may be we'll to buy a quantity Of
sweet potatoes when they are cheapest
and store them in warm dry place
In planting the garden, prepare for
winter.

HEAVY USE AT HOME.
Among the handsome structures in
Idaho in which Boise stone has been
used during the year, the most nota-
bic. perhaps, is the Elmore county
court house at Mountain Home, the ex-
terror of which is all cut stone. 1t has
pleased the residents of Mountain Home
so much that recently the entire front
OF one of the city clocks facing on the
park has been replaced with several
new buildings with Boise stone front
which present a remarkably handsome
appearance and afford an example of
cooperation among adjoining property
owners for the Improvement Of the
general appearance of the town, which
might well be copied by Idaho towns
generally. The new Ada county hos
ptal, built completely OF stone, has
been much complimented, as it COM
bines utility and economy with good
taste. Nampa has always favored
Boise with it's stone business and has
used stone generously in trimming it's
new high school building. Plackfoot

Der in the big new sawmill now near
ing completion at cost of about
100000.
Logs in sufficient quantity must and
will be cut at Cascade to keep the mill
at Emmett busy at full capacity. The
capacity of the mill is nearly 100000
feet of lumber daily.
Two log trains of 25 cars each viii
be run daily from Cascade to Emmett.
Seven thousand feet of logs Is the
minimum carload. The average car
load of logs will contain about 5000
