U.s~esr's or AesIculTuse EOW0sR!OWVa W Brussels Sprout I

Brussels sprouts are closely related to cabbage and caulif1ower, and may
 be grown in very much the same manner. The seed may be started in the window box or in the hotbed and
 transplanted to the garden when the ground is in condition to work
 Instead of a single head, Brussels sprouts produce a large number of
 small heads, these heads being formed in the axils of the leaves If the hads
 become too crowded, the leaves should
 be broken off so as to give the >>(ds
 more room. However, a few leaves should always be left in the top of the stem where the new heads are being ! formed. Brussels sprouts are more hardy than cabbage and in many
 sections may be planted in the fall. ! They should be set in rows 30 to 36 1 inches apart if for horse cultivation, 1 or somewhat closer for hand cultiva- tion. The plants should be set from 20
 to A inches apart in the rows.
 1 Brussels sprouts may be stored for
 winter use in much the same way as i cabbage. The best method is to take up the plants, pack them closely to- gether in trench, covering them with 1 straw or other litter to protect them from freezing and thawing.-U. s. De
 partment of Agriculture.

IT T is a bedraggled and worn out dove.
She is weary with many efforts
n and futters piteously under the
contemptuous scrutiny of the rest of the
world. She is dragged to earth a long
way from her goal, helpless to resist
when bounced on by her masters, and
made to essay the flight once more. Such
a picture arises out Of the comment of
the American press, which has no illu
sions left about a German agreement to
peace under the conditions existing to-
day.
Each succeeding trumpet call from
Berlin appears to get less and less wind
TO its aid. Peace terms from the Will
helmstrasse are like songs that have
gone out Of favor with too much sing
ing; they have an arid and monotonous
sound to them. Our press tucks them
away on the "inside" Of the paper, and
the editorial writer's rise to the attack
without vigor. The game has too much
sameness, is stale and has lost it's SAVIOR.

patch dismisses the matter as a scheme
of internal politics:
Germany unquestionably has purpose
in making such foolish peace proposal,
for even the stupid Hun isn't so stupid he
would expect the Allies, at this time, to
stop fighting and agree to any such peace
is proposed. The probability is that
the present peace offensive is to allay the
antagonsm to the government in Germany
The military party can say TO the slow
thinking people, See, We have offered a
generous peace and the enemy will not
accept it; what else can we do but con-
tinue to fght-and what else can YOU do
but sucer?'"
1THE BALTIMORE sun" advises
newspapers not to use up valua-
Bile space in discussing German peace
offers, adding that their absurdity varies
in exact ratio to what the Huns con-
slider their chances of winning by the
sword. THE Chicago Daily News" finds
Germany hasn't learned anything from
the war and doesn't understand in the
slightest degree the new idealism that is
awakening the world THE Milwaukee
Journal speaks similarly:
Evidently Germany has as vet learned
but little from the Germans at the front

nevolently that way out of the dilemma
if there are terms to communicate,
which there must be, assuredy, is for
each party to whisper his terms in the
ear of neutral. Close on this, before
forgetting is possible, "Vorwarts," of
Berlin, settles the war amiably, through
Spain, without annexations or indemni-
ties in the West. This, it has been
pointed out, is open diplomacy of kind
-Germany's kind. But the back doors
are not forgotten. Keep on trying to
