The seeds of parsley should be
soaked for a few hours before plant

slow in terminating and should be
handled very carefully. After one or
two tra%nsplantings they should be set

A pole, or even q piece of board 2 or 8
inches wide, may be used. If the roost
is Of light material and fairly long, it
should be supported in the center, as
well as at the ends, to prevent it from
sagging badly. An allowance of Z to
10 inches Of roost space per fowl, ac-
cording to the size of the birds, should
be made. If more than one roost is
used, they should be placed about Is

ner. 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 form
ed in the axis of the leaves. II the
heads become too crowded, the leaves
should be broken off so as to give the
heads more room. However, n few
leaves should always be left in the
top Of the stem where the new heads

are more hardy than cabbage and in
many sections may be planted in the
fall. They should be set In rows 80
TO sc inches apart if for horse culti-
walton. The plants should be set from
20 to "a inches apart in the rows.
Brussels sprouts may be stored for
winter use in much the same way as
cabbage. The best method is to take
up the plants, pack them closely to-
gether in a trench, covering them with
straw or other litter to protect them
from freezing and thawing.

PEPPERS.

Plant the seeds of peppers In the
hotbed about six weeks to two months
before time to set them in the open
ground. They should be transplanted
at least one and should not be set in
the open until the ground is thorough
ly warm. When grown in the garden
the large bull-nOsed types should be
placed in rows 3 feet apart with the
plants from is to II inches apart in
rows. Frequent shallow cultivation
should be given, and the plants will
continue to bear until frost kills them.

ERADICATION OF ALL PESTS
First Step Should Be to Clean House

The first step to eradicate the pests
which live in cracks and crevices in

the house and literally flood all cracks
and inside of nests with n ) per cent

Ihls crop Is one of the most endur-
Ing and satisfactory vegetables. 1t
can be grown on almost any we'll
drained soil, but will do best on a deep
sandy loan. There is little POSSIBLE
1ty of having the ground too rich, and
liberal applications of partly rOtted
barnyard n should be made be-
fore the plants are set. The seeds OF
asparagus may be sown during the
spring in rows where the plants are to
remain, and the seedlings thinned to
stand IA feet apart in rows.
1t is usually more satisfactory to
purchase two-year-old roots, as con-
siderable time Is saved in this way.
AS the asparagus bed is a permanent
feature of the garden, it should be To-
Gated accordingly. Before setting the
plants the soil should be lOosened very
deeply, either by subsoil blowing or by
deep spading. 1t is a good plan to re-
move the top soil and spade manure
into the subsoil to a depth of II or 16
inches. The plants may be set in
rows for horse cultivation or In beds.
If In rows they should be set II inches
apart, with the rows 31A feet apart.
If in beds, n foot apart each way is
the proper distance to set the plants.
In setting the plants the rOwns should
be covered 4 or 5 inches deep.
In the North the plants should re-
ceive a mulch of 4 or 5 inches of ma
nure in winter. In the South the
mulch is not necessary, but the plants
should receive a coat of manure or an
application of fertilizer, preferably in
autumn.
No shoots should be removed during
the first year the plants are set in the
permanent bed, and the period of cut
ting should be short during the second
year.
