Kitchen Cars Built for Troop Trains.

Kitchen cars that are individually
of sufficient capacity to meet the needs
of a fair-sized hotel are being carried
with the long troop trains operated on
one of the Canadian railways between
military training camps and the sea
board. They have been constructed
to facilitate the dining service so that
meals can be prepared for several hun
bred men and served without confu-
sion or delay, says the Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. Each of these mo-
bile kitchens occupies an entire car,
is equipped with a 10-foOt range,
steam--coOking apparatus, a spacious
refrigerator and other necessary par
aphernalia. This is all installed on
one side and inclosed by a long table
extending the full length of the ear.
A passageway is provided between this
counter and unObstructed wall, so that
walters can enter and leave the kitch-
en- without disorganizing the work of
the eight cooks and helpers.

GARDEN BEANS
Information Issued by the Extension
Service Of the University of VI.

All classes of beans are legumes, a
group of plants noted for the high
food value OF their seed and forage,
! being especially rich in protein and
containing much starch
Dry beans are the highest in food
value of all vegetables. fresh shelled
kidney beans are second, and fresh
shelled limas third, while fresh string
beans are of small food value due to
the scarcity of seeds and the large
amount OF pod
Considering palatabiliity and food
value together. 1t is well to so man
age and plant the garden as to insure
plenty Of beans, plenty in the string
or snap stage, the surplus to be
canned or allowed TO mature.
Beans are more susceptible TO cold
than peas so they should not be
planted until danger OF frost has
passed and the soil begins to be
warm. To secure continuous sup
ply, il is desirable to make paintings
at intervals of 10 days to two weeks
beginning May 10 to 20. to continue
until July /. For string beans the
edible pods are usually ready to pick
in from TO 10 weeks, thus the first
paintings can be followed by some
fall crop.

cred best for growing field beans but

Cultivation can be helped greatly
by making a good, deep. clean seed

the plants are up light cultivator
should be used to avoid throwing soil
around the plants. When they are
strong and well established, use the
heavy cultivator and throw soil
enough about the plants to smother
the small weeds. One deep cultiya-
ton is sufficient, and should be fol-
lowed with the spike tooth to avoid
cutting roots which soon reach out in
to the center of the rows. Continue
cultivation until the plants are full

GROWING OF GREENS
Garden Should Contain at Least One
Crop for Such Use.

| The Extension Service of the Uni
versity of Vermont recommends that
the garden contain at least one of the
crops which follows, TO be used for
green's beet chard dandelion, mus
tard, kale, spinach, and New Zealand
| spinach
Spinach is the one crop generally
grown for greens, the round seeded is
| used for spring planting and prickly
seeded for autumn planting to remain
over winter. II is a cool season crop
and tends to go to seed in warm
weather. Seed should be sown in
drills 10 to IS inches apart, and as
the plants begin to crowd the larger
ones are taken out for cooking, thus
saving the work OF thinning
New Zealand spinach is entirely diff
ferent from common spinach. II Will
stand hot weather without going to
seed, and grows continuously through
the summer and fall, spreading long
main branches over the ground from
which new growth appears. The parts
used for green's are the clusters of
leaves forming the tips of the growing

The beet plant is quite hardy and is
planted i'll early spring for early use,

first beets are large enough to use for
greens. Mustard is used in the same
way as spinach. but seldom is substi
tuted for it. Kale is plant of the
cabbage group, bearing long, curled
and crinkled leaves, which are used
for green's
Chard, known as Swiss chard and

SWEET CORN
The Extension Service of tne Univer-
sty OF Vermont offers Suggestions

| SHY OF vermont OrTeTS suggestions
Sweet corn is one of our most I'M
portant and popular garden crops
termed sweet on account OF the high
| saccharine content OF the kernels
when in proper condition for eating
/ 1t is somewhat more delicate and
slow in starting than most crops and
therefore requires a little more
thorough soil preparation, AS one
Vermont farmer says; Its much
easier to hoe before planting than af-
ten" The ordinary garden soil is
good enough for corn, and on the larg-
er field scale. it does best following
clover on a welldrained sandy loan
soil, fortified with Is to 20 loads of
manure per acre and 800 pounds of
high grade fertilizer drilled with the
planter to hasten early growth, Too
much fertility makes q heavy leaf and
stalk growth and a late crop of ears.
Start with the best seed obtainable
and plant when the soil gets fairly
well warmed, usually from May Is to
MAY -. IL 10 Sale W SAN llldl Olul-
narily too many stalks are left stand
ing to secure a maximum crop.
Planting distances advised are
kernels feet apart each way; 5 to 6
kernels, rows IT, inches apart, hills
3 feet Four stalks 12 by 2 1.2
feet. removing all suckers rows 3
feet apart, stalks 10 to IA inches. A
good average is four stalks free from
suckers in hills 3 feet apart each way.
AS soon as the rows can be seen,
start the close shallow working cult
vator. Four good civilizations, the
last time just before the tassels show
in ordinary ears, will keep down the
weeds and maintain good mulch
with no hand work
The varieties desired by canning
concerns generally are furnished by
