his objectives for the first days fight

vance and planned to descend from the
mountain area and also reach the city
OF Treviso from the Pave river.
Early Advantage Quickly Lost.
The enemy's bombardment was frus-
trsted by the formidable fire from the
Italian artillery, which destroyed lines
and shelters and made full hits on
massed troops as we'll as drenched his
battle emplscements with gas, When
the enemy infantry advanced into the
front line rones they had to meet a
counter attack from the Italian sup
porting troops. This resulted in the
loss OF a great part OF the advantage
he had gained and he left prisoners and
machine guns in the hands OF the
Italians.

The radish Is quite hardy and may
be grown throughout the winter In the
middle section OF the United States. In
many portions Of the South II Is pos.
slble to grow It In the open ground

garden the seed should be sown In the
open ground about the time ~ the last

In drills ut n convenient distance for
cultivation, usually about IS inches.
To be OF good quality, radishes must
be grown quickly In rich soil, and be
used as soon as Of sufficient size. Sue
cessive paintings should be made every
few days until the weather becomes
warm. They will not withstand hot
weather and are suited to early spring

LIMA BEANS.

Lima beans should not he planted
up. as they are n hcat.loving crop and
the seed will rot II planted when the
ground Is cold. Most gardeners pre-
fer the pole varieties, as they yield
better than the bush varieties and are
superior to the bush varieties in many
other respects. One marked advan-
tage Of the pole beans Is hat they may
be planted around the fence, utilizing
the fence as n support for the vines.
In this manner a crop Of beans can
be secured with the use Of q minimum
amount Of spacing.
When planted In rows In the gar.
den. pole lima beans are usually plant
ed in hills 8 to 4 feet apart and sup
ported on poles or a string and wire
trellis.
The bush limas are usually drilled
In rows some 3h feet apart for horse
cultivation, or slightly closer for hand
cultivation. The lima beans are q full
season crop, that Is, they occupy the
ground for the entire growing season,
and a sufficient amount should be
planted to provide for the needs Of the
family for the entire season. Any sur
plus O used green may be allowed to
dry on the vines, picked and stored
for winter use.
Lima beans constitute one OF the
most satisfactory crops for growing
for winters use, as the only care ne.
cessary to save them Is to pick the ripe
pods, dry them thoroughly and shell
the beans. In the northern portion Of
the country where lima beons do not
thrive, pole beans Of the Lazy wife
variety will give satisfaction.
