VEGETABLE PLANTING.

| Many home gardeners are asking the
specialists of the United States depart
ment of Agriculture whether it is safe
to plant any vegetables in open ground
while there is still some likelihood of
light frosts. To aid these home gard
ners, these specialists have worked
out the following groups of common
vegetables according to their ability,
| if planted in the open, to withstand
srring frosts. These directions do not
apply to the planting of seeds in hot
beds or seed boxes to secure plants
which afterwards are to be trans
planted
Group 1.--Plants not injured by a
light frost. These may be planted as
soon as heavy frosts are over, or usu-
| ally as soon as the soil can be put in
good condition: Cabbage, Irish pota-
tees, early peas (smooth types as dis
ltnguished from the wrinkledD, onion
sets an dsalad crops, such as kale,
spinach and mustard. At the same
,. or in hot beds, tomatoes, eggplant
peppers and caulifiower.
Group 2.-Vegetables that should be
PLANTED only after danger of hard or
Ordinary frosts are over: Lettuce rad
fishes, parsIips, carrots, beets, wrink
led peas and early sweet corn.
Group 3.-These should be planted
latter all danger of frosts have passed
string beans and seed corn Qate var
Iety) A few early tomato plants may
Ialso be planted but care should be
taken to protect them from any sud
den chilly weather, by providing (;
shelter of newspapers, boxes, etc.
Group 4.-This group should not be
PLANTED until all danger of frost has
passed and the ground has begun to
warm up. Included in these should be
|cucumbers, melons, squashes, pump
kins, Lima beans, tomatoes, eggplant
and peppers. Plants of tomatoes, egg
plant and peppers which have been
grown in boxes or hotbeds should be
ready to set in the open at this time
In order to insure a steady supply
of vegetables, crops like peas, beans
and lettuce may be planted every three
or four weeks, whenever the space is
available by the removal of the other
crops.
If your garden is small do not at
tempt to grow potatoes or sweet corn.
1t is better, the specialists say, to Sc
lect half dozen crops which the fam
lily likes than to grow Is or 20. If the
size of your plot is less than 40 by 100
feet, or 1000 square feet, it usually is
not advisable to grow late potatoes or
late varieties of sweet corn. 1t might
be we'll to devote a small section to an
early variety of sweet corn, such as
the Golden Bantum, and to plant
row or two of early potatoes.-U s.

TIPS ON GARDENING.

The garden specialists of the Unit
ed States department of Agriculture
divide vegetables into two classes
warm temperatures and cold tenn
peratures. When peach and plum
trees are in blossom, they say, 1t Is
time to SOW in open ground such seeds
lettuce, radishes, parsley, beets, tur-
nips, cabbage, carrots, peas and on
ions. The wrinkled peas should not be
planted until later as they are more
liable to rot in cold ground than the
smooth variety. When the apple trees
bloom it is time to plant the heat low
ing vegetables, such as cucumbers,
beans, sweet corn, pumpkins and the
different varieties of squashes. This is
an old but excellent rule.
The quickest crop to mature is the
radish, lettuce, turnips, peas. beets
and beans usually require from six tC
nine weeks, corn from II to 13 weeks,
and potatoes from Is to 16 weeks to
mature.
Lettuce is to the garden what the
hay crop is to the field-always needed
and gives some of the best returns. A
rich sandy loan with sufficient nitrate
to stimulate the leaf growth and in
tensify the chlorophyll or deep leaf
soft water to keep the leaf crisp and
fresh. Much of the same plan is prac-
ticed with cabbage, except that it does
not require so much water.
Beans do not require very rich soil
and it is safe to plant them on the
very poorest patch. Snap beans may be
grown in rows between the orchard
trees.
The Lima been requires rich,
moist SOIL but does OF seem to de-
prive the land of it's productiveness.
Lima beans have been grown on the
same fields in California for many
years.
Cucumbers, squashes and melons
require rich soil, and the cucumber
profits by the application of fresh
ry plants along more rapidly than
most chemical fertilizers.
The specialists believe that if the
general principles they have outline(
are followed, it will be profitable fol
almost any one to plant his idle acres
this season. They point out that even
where the monetary value of the crops
raised in the back yard garden is not
important, the gardner and his family
must credit the patch with the health
and enjoyment they gain from this out
door occupation. They point out that
from the community point of view it is
the duty of every home owner to keep

This is no time for an American to
be half hearted or half way loyal. We
ARE at war, and the man against his
country needs to be watched and if he
utters disloyal sentiments punished,
land punished to the limit. 1t is the
bounded duty of those who hear dis
loyal sentiments expressed to report
the same to the authorities. Treason al
home must be stamped out no matttr
what the cost. Fathers and mothers
who send their sons to uphold the
honor of the flag insist that while
those sons are fighting the battles of
their country the disloyal behind their
backs be suppressed. The man in our
midst who is a traitor is more danger
lous than rattlesnake. This is no
thine to mince words, and the authori-
tiles are urged to do their duty, no
matter who the guilty man may be.

The post office department is trying
to devise ways and means to increase
the receipts Of that branch OF the gov
eminent, and among the plans is to
tax newspapers higher rate of post
age and increase the letter postage
from Q to 3 cents. If congress was re-
ally in earnest in a dtsire to make a
better showing in the postal service
it could be done by retrenchment
about as easily as increasing the cost
Of using the mails to the general pub
lie. One of the heaviest costs that the
postal department is called upon to
meet is through the ranking privilege
granted to congressman, which is
shamefully abused Let congress an
nul the Thanking law and it,would save
the department hundreds of thousands
of dollars annually. But congress will
not take such step. Its patriotism
does not reach far enough to make
such a sacrifice. If there is to be self
sacrifice at this time for the countrys
good congress believes in letting
George do it.

the Canadian press has made no new

joke where he is best known on this
side of the line Notwithstanding that
he has repeatedly been elected to con-

commence throwing fits, when the fits

In several instances throughout the
country soldiers guarding public prop
erty have been shot under cover Of
darkness by unknown persons An in :
stance of this kind happened last week
as near home as Spokane, when SOL
der guarding a railroad bridge was
shot in the leg from ambush. The Sc
cret enemy at home and in our midst,
Is far more dangerous than an enemy
at the front. He Is too cowardly to
come out in the open, and approaches
his enemy under cover Of darkness.
Every soldier placed on guard should
have instructions to shoot to kill when
OF ders to halt are disregarded, or men
hang around acting suspiciously. The
soldier should take no chances. In case
man who attacks, wounds or kills a
guard is caught he should be strung
up without moments hesitation
There is no compromise in a case of
this nature. Traitors, and those who
attack guards are traitors, should re-
ceive no mercy. A few examples
would have a better effect stamping
out treason, and reasonable acts,
than library of proclamations and
warnings.

The high cost of living is no longer
a theory, it is a painful condition. as
is apparent to every consumer whose
pocketbook shrivels up when pricing
provender with fear and trembling.
For months almost everything used,
or consumed, by man has been slowly
yet steadily climbing upward, until
some items that enter, or should enter
into daily consumption, are above tim
Der line, out of reach of the ordinary
mortal The latest eats to soar out OF
sight have been pork, flour, sugar, and
other articles common to the house
held too numerous to mention. Every
body is hard hit and to the man with
a small income, which means the
greater majority of us, it is problem
OF difficult solution how to keep body
and soul together, and incidentally
keep out of Jail for indecent exposure
en- account of raggety apparel. People
will have to hedge on table garnish-
ments, and confine their costumes to
the cheapest material out of which
buds are made in order to make live
of it. There really seems no goo
reason why prices sould be so abnor-
NAL for staple foods, and suspicion
is bound to be created that the fine
Italian hand of spectators, designing
individuals and combinations are cor
nering the necessities Of life. II that
proves to be the case there will soon
be universal demand for drastic
action on the part of those in author
ity to fix prices for the common foods
There is one thing certain, this expan-
sion of prices of food stuffs will make
recruits for the ranks of the order OF
vegetarians. And we are inclined to
believe that if people would act in
concert and combine to cut out some
OF the more expensive items of diet
and get down to garden truck they
would contribute materially toward
breaking the back of high prices, and
at the same time probably enjoy bet
ter health. May sunny skies hasten the
development of garden products and
relieve the strain on the pocket nerve
that is giving some of us visions OF

1t would seem from what has gone
before that the fiendishness of the
German military power had long ago
reached the limit of frightfulness.
Yet the world is again shocked at Ger
man atrocity beyond the human un-
derstanding. Last week German sub
marines sunk two hospital ships that
contained only wounded men, nurses
and physicians. There is touch of
irony in the fact that among those lost
were number of German wounded on
their way to hospitals in England.
Germany is the only civilized, or al
legged civilized country on earth that
has with calculating malice afore
thought made war on babies, women
and helpless wounded. This method of
warfare would have brought blush
even in the days when the wild Indian

harried the American frontiers.
