q good time, If this can be done. Dig
into the ground thoroughly slaked lime
and wood ashes.
The ideal soil for growing sweet peas
is a good rich, turfy loan, thoroughly
enriched with rotted manure or bone
meal, in proportion Of three-fourth soil
to one-fourth fertilizer, according to
the condition of the soil.
In sowing the peas do not SOW them
too thIckly or. too thinly-a fair aver
age is one package of seed to ten feet
Of garden-should the peas grow too
thickly then out to about two inches
apart.
Pulverize the soil in the trench be-
fore sowing your seeds. To a depth
of three inches see that the soil Is ex-
qulsitely fine. Sow the seeds in a
double row about ten Inches apart,
above two inches below the surface,
and tread down firmly.
Arrange brush for trailing the vines,
the brush should run from five to eight
feet above the ground. 1t is a good
plan to arrange these supports when
the seed is sown.
Sweet peas suffer from dry and hot
weather. Water them frequently and
thoroughly and give them an applica-
ton of liquid manure once a week.
Apply a good heavy mulch Of long
straw manure around the ground
around the sweet peas, as soon as hot
weather sets in. This keeps the ground
from drying out and keeps the soil
cool.
The life Of the vine is greatly length
ened If every seed-pod is removed as
soon as they appear and by the con-
stant cutting Of the flowers.
A partial shade during the hottest
part of the day is very essential to Sc
cure the best color in the blooms.
The greatest enemy sweet peas have
is the cutworm, and they often prevent
getting a stand of good sweet peas.
They usually take the young shoots as
soon as they appear. Watering with
lime water helps to keep out the cut
worms. A handful Of grass dipped in
solution Of paris green will some
times attract and exterminate the
worms.

How Efficiency Works.

The manager Of a large eastern fac
tory has been quoted as saying:
"The benefits from scientific manage
ment derived by our employees in the
making Of paper and paper boxes-and
we have been working under 1t only
two and one-half years-are: Average
increase in wages, Is per cent; reduc-
ton in working hours, 10 per cent; a
feeling Of greater confidence in that
the tasks set by means of scientific
study Of the work are known by the
employee to be accurate.
"a recent test on machines produc-
ing S5 per cent Of our boxes shows the
difference between the time allowed
for two thousand hours of work and
the time actually taken was less than
three-fourths Of an hour.
"It has been said by opponents that
individuality is Iessened or taken away.
Our experience has been exactly the
reverse"

THESE SHOES WEAR rs YEARS
They Are Made Of Grass and Are Still
Worn by Natives in Parts of
Portugal and Spain.

Esparto shoes, or shoes made Of the
toughest and strongest Of the coarse
esparto fibers, are still worn in Iberia
and parts of Portugal. There is no
shoe made which will outlast them, not
excepting leather shoes. Indeed, one
pair of espartO shoes has been known
to outwear a dozen tanned hide soles.
This is due to their faculty u picking
up and retaining in their interstices
stony particles. AS fast as the pebbles
are worn out they are replaced auto
matically by others. Thus a seif-sOling
process is constantly going on. 1t ~
not uncommon in some parts of Spain
or Portugal to hear the natives boast
of wearing a pair Of esparto shoes for
25 years or more.

Salient.

The word salient means (1) stand
ing out prominently, conspicuous
striking; as salient features Of a land
scape; salient points of an argument,
(2) Thrust or bent beyond the general
line; projecting, as a salient angle. A
salient angle is a convex angle, that
is, an angle considered greater than
the sum Of two right angles, being
measured by an arc that exceeds a
semi-clrcle.

UPsALA CENTER OF SWEDEN
countrys Most Ancient City, and
Vastly Rich In the Nations
History and Tradition.

In all things save the most modern,
Upsala Is the center OF Sweden. In
point OF education, OF religion and OF
history aud tradition, this little city
overshadows Stockholm Il Is 80 old
that the old gods themselves are said
20 be buried there.
Old Upsala lies a mile or two away
from the more modern city; II Is set
upon the very ashes Of other times.
Digging In the earth underfoot brings
to light the crude implements Of
people, our knowledge OF whom Is little
more than theory, as well as the better
fashioned weapons that the Norsemen
Of the early centuries knew how to
WELD so we'll. There are three great
mounds or barrows still left at ola Up
sala, and these are sometimes said to
be the tombs Of three Of the old gods
of Morse mythology.
The present city Of Upsala is cut in
two by the River Fyris. On the slop-
ing hill TO the westward, surrounded
by less important buildings, stand the
greatest cathedral and the greatest uni
verslty In Sweden. The other half OF
the city is given over to modest dwell
ings, but from any vantage point on
the hillside they make a pretty sight
with their characteristic northern neat
ness and clean lines.
The life Of the town is strongly col
Ored by the university folk. The stu
dent Is readily recognizable by his
.black-trlmmed white velvet cap; and
he is everywhere, OF course, for he
makes up about a tenth Of the popu-
latiOn. Your typical Swedish uniVer-
slty man is an athlete and a sOngster,
especially noted for his fine, full chO-
ruses. The distant singing Of dozen
lusty young voices on a moonlight win
ter night is one Of the most character
lstic sounds Of Upsala, and one Of the
little things encountered here and
there that stick In the memory.
The great brick cathedral Is the other
striking institution Of Upsala. Here
lie buried several Of Sweden's old war
rior kings, and here, too, is the tomb
of Linnaeus, the father Of botany, who
was a professor at the university. Be
fore the tomb of Llnnaeus is a recep-
tacle filed deep with the cards Of ia
nous men who have visited his tomb
Indeed, for long 1t was something of a
custom for European botanists to visit
Upsala on the anniversary Of the birth
of Linnaeus. There is something sin
gularly fitting and attractive in this
idea Of science making pilgrimages tC
the tombs of her prophets.

Honey in Jewish History.

The numerous references to honey
in the Bible are due to it's being the
common sweetener Of the people !;
and to this day the Jews, who are fine
old crusty conservatives, use honey in
cooking where other people use sugar.
STILL it had a certain distinction, and
was used as the symbol Of fruitfulness
and plenty. When Jeroboam's wife
wished to propitiate the prophet she
took him ten loaves, two cakes and a
cruise Of honey. When Jesus reap
peared to his disciples they tested his
reality by giving him piece Of broiled
fish and some honeycomb to eat. AS
for John the Baptist, it Is known to all
that his common food consisted Of
locusts and wild honey.

to plunge the cans into very cold
water. They should never be stack
ed close together until thep are en-
tirely cold.
The labelling should be done with
a rather dry paste which is put only
on the end of the label so that it
does not touch the tin. Paste may
cause rust. and in damp cvlimate
it is sometimes customary to lasquer
the. outside of the can before it is
labeled. The label, if the product is
intended for sale, must contain the
net weight in pounds and ounces and
the packers name and address.
m packing fruits and vegetables it
is necessary to surround them with
brine, sirup, or water, but under the
terms of the Federal law governing
the interstate shipment of canned
goods no more of this liquor is al
lowed than is actually n ,cessary to
cover the contents after as full a
pack as possible is made. With TO-
me toes no water whatever should be
added and no tomato juice should be
added in excess of the amount in the
tomatoes canned.
Add Sugar and Salt.
In addition to the liquor a mixture
of sugar and salt adds greatly to
the flavor of such products as toma-
toes, peas, Lima beans and corn. The
mixture recommended by the govern
meat specialists in canning is com
posed of 1-3 salt and 2-3 sugar. Two
level teaspoonfuls of this are placed
in No. can and one teaspoonful
in No. 2 can. For beans, okra, eau
liflower, etc., brine containing 2 1-2
ounces of salt to gallon of water
is used. For asparagus a heavier
brine, ounces to a gallon of water,
is needed.
In order to conserve the supply of
tin cans it is strongly urged that all
products intended for home use

In the method taught by the spec
ialists in the u. S. Department Of
Agriculture to the members of the
canning clubs in the South, the first
step is to see that all the necessary
preparations are made before the
vegetables or fruit are picked. "One
hour from the field to the can" is a
motto that every Gamer should have
in mind. This is impossible if one
has to prepare utensils and wash and
scald cans after the fruits and vege-
tables have been brought into the
house. The condition of these is a
prime factor in determining the quail
ity of the finished product. Unless
they are absolutely fresh, crisp, and
clean when they are put into the
cans, high-grade article is impos-
sible.
Preparing the product for the Can.
In case of tomatoes the fruits
should first be graded and all de-
fective ones rejected. They should be
lowered into boiling water for one
minute; then plunged into cold water
and peeled promptly. "A slender,
pointed knife should be used to cut
out the core, care being taken not
to cut into the seed cells.
The next step for nearly all fruits
and vegetables is blanching. This
consists of plunging the product into
boiling water in which it is allowed
to remain for time that varies with
the state of maturity. Blanching
gives a more thorough cleaning than
ordinary washing, removes the strong
odor and flavor from certain kinds
of vegetables, improves the texture,
insures clearer liquor, shrinks the
article and makes it more flexible,
and in this way facilitates the putting
up of full pack. A wire basket
or cheesecloth square should be used
for the purpose. Afver blanching,
spraying fruit with cold water will
make it firmer and it is also some
times desirable to put VEGETABLES into
cold water for an instant in order to

HOW TO CAN IN THE SOUTH
Home Methods AS Taught by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture in
the Southern States.
Can Surplus Food But Use Jars
and Cans Wisely.

Don't have an empty preserv-
ing jar in your home next fall
Reserve regular tight-sealing
containers for canning foods.
Concentrate products so that
: each jar or can will hold as much
food and as little water as possi-
BILE.
Put up jams, jellies and pre-
serves in wide-necked glasses
sealed with cork or paper and
paraffin. Pack fruit juices in or
dinary bottles.
Don't can anything that can be
kept just as we'll dried or in other
forms. Dry navy and mature
Lima beans for winter use.
Produce in your garden lots of
cabbage, potatoes, and root crops
that can be kept for winter with
out canning.-U. S. Department
of Agriculture.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1917-06-27

1t is more important than ever this
year that none of the surplus prod
ucts of the garden should go to waste.
The country needs food now and it
will need food next winter, not only
for itself ut for the allies. Home
canned products may never leave the
house in which they are made, but
their consumption at home will mean
so much more food available else
where for those who need it. 1t is
imperative also that the canning be
done carefully as well as energetical-
ly in order to preserve the more per-
ishable products.
