The Scold's Vocabulary

In Mark Lemons Jest Book, a SC quel to Joe Miller's Joke Book, Mar tin Hester has discovered the follow ing scold's vocabulary, which shows the copiousness of the English Ian guage. The lady is describing her husband, and the terms run in alpha betical order:
 He is an abhorred, barbarous, ca pricious, detestable, envious, fastid ious, growing, hard-hearted, ill-na tured, jealous, kicking, loathsome malevolent, nauseous, obstinate, pas sionate, quarrelsome, raging, saucy tantalizing uncomfortable vexatious man. He is an abominable, bitter captious, disagreeable, exercable fierce, gr; ting, nasty, malicious, ne farious, ostreperous, peevish, rest less, savare, tart, unpleasant, violent Washping man. He is an acrimOn 'ous, clustering, careless, discontent ed, fretful, gross, hateful, inattentive malignant. noisy, odious, perverse queer, rigid, severe, teasing, unsuit able man.

 Outside of that he was pretty good husband, we suppose.

ONIONS.

Onions can be produced on almost
any good garden soil, and constitute
one of the standard crops found In al
most every garden. The usual plan in
the home garden Is to plant sets in
rows far enough apart to suit the meth
cd Of cultivation to be followed. The
sets need not be more than or 3
inches apart in the rows.
Onion sets may be planted as soon
as the ground can be worked and be-
fore frOsts are over: Some kinds may
be planted in the autumn. The potato
or multiplier onion can be planted from
sets in the autumn and will produce
excellent early green onions.
Onions may be grown from seed Ell
ther by starting the seed in the hotbed
and transplanting to the open ground
or by drilling in rows directly in the
garden. With good soil and proper
care it is possible to produce good
sized bulbs from seed in single sea-
son.
Onions require frequent shallow cul-
tivation, and it may be necessary to re-
sort to hand work in order to keep
the crop free from weeds.
If it Is desired to use the onions as
green or bunch onions they may be
pulled at any time after they are large
enough, otherwise they should be al
lowed to grow until they reach matur-
ity. If the onions start to throw up
seed stalks these should be removed,
or the seed will be formed at the ex-
pense of the bulbs

Distribute Hand Labor.

1t is, of course, possible to do the
work just as well by hand but a con-
siderable amount of labor Is involved.
For small areas, however, this meth
cd is the only practical one. When
the garden is to be worked by hand 1t
is especially desirable that the spading
be done as early as possible, rs the
sooner it is done the easier it will be
to get the ground in condition. The
ground should be worked down only
as needed, as this will distribute the
labor; and as the rough ground will
dry off quicker than that smoothed
down, it is possible to get on the
ground sooner if left in the rough than
when well worked down. It is ex-
tremely desirable to get such crops
as early peas, early potatoes, and early
cabbage plants in as soon as the
ground is dry enough, and it is often
possible to get these crops planted
week or two earlier by following this
plan.

MUSKM ELoNS.

A sandy loan with plenty of we'll
rotted manure incorporated in the soil
Is well adapted to the production of
muskmelOns. The muskmelon is heat
loving crop, requiring long growing
season, about four months, and cannot
be planted until the ground has be-
come warm. For this reason it is use
less to attempt to grow the muskmelon
in sections where the growing season
Is not sufficiently long or where the
temperature is not uniformly high. The
northern portion of the United States
is not suited to the growing of this
crop for the reasons cited above.
1t is advisable to start the plants
in berry boxes, or on sOds in the hot
bed, transferring these to the open
ground after the ground has become
warm. In this way considerable time
can be saved and much better results
obtained. 1t is good plan to place
plenty Of wellrotted manure in the
hills, which should be about 6 feet
apart. Sufficient seed should be plant
ed so that four good strong plants may
be had in each hill. Another plan is
to SOW in drills in rows or Z feet
apart, thinning the plants until they
are from IS inches to 2 feet apart in
the rows.
Cultivation should be frequent and
thorough until the vines begin to run.
After this the only cultivation required
is to keep weeds down.
Muskmelons are liable to be attack.

The cauliflower requires a rich,

cation. 1t will not withstand as much
frost as cabbage, but Is very sensitive

bed or window box. This gives it time
to mature before hot weather comes.
The rows need not be more than 2h
to 8 feet apart for horse cultivation,
or "a to 80 inches apart for hand work.
The plants should be from IA to IS
inches apart in rows. The culture is
the same as for cabbage until the
heads begin to develop, after which
the leaves may be tied together over
the heads to exclude the light and
keep heads white.

WATER M ELONS.

The watermelon requires consider
able room, and unless there Is an
abundance of space available it should
not be planted in the garden.
1t is a heat-loving plant and the
seeds should not be planted in the
open until the ground is warm. This
will be about one month after the last
hard frost. They do best in a sandy
soil, and require plenty of well-rotted
manure for their best development.
The usual method is to plant them in
hills made up with plenty of we'll.
rotted manure, about 10 feet apart
each way. Some eight or ten seeds
should be placed in each hill, and when
the plants are well established they
sho3ld be thinned to four plants in q
hill. For full directions as to the con-
troll of insects and diseases affecting
the watermelon, see Farmers Bulletin

SPINACH.

mate and attains its best development
in the middle South, where 1t can be
grown in the open ground during the
winter. Farther north 1t is necessary
to protect the plants during the win.
ter with a mulch Of straw or leaves.
To produce good spinach a rich loan
which will give the plants n quick
growth is required. Fall planting is
to be recommended wherever this is
possible, as the fall-planted spinach is
not as much inclined to go to seed as
that planted in the spring. One ounce
of seed is sufficient for 100-fOot row,
and tins crop may be sown in drills
about foot apart.
Spinach is an easily grown garden
crop, and there Is perhaps no other of
its kind that will give as good salts.
faction. In gathering spinach the en-.
tire plant is removed rather than mere
ly cutting off the leaves. The larger
plants are selected first, and the
smaller ones are thus given chance
to develop.

KALE.

Kale is closely related to and pos.
sesses many of the characteristics OF
cabbage. 1t is very hardy and may be
planted in the autumn in the entire
southern portion of the United States
1t will thrive on any good soil and
responds readily to liberal appllca.
tions of stable manure.
Kale may be sown in drills or in
some cases may be sown broadcast.
When sown in drills a quarter ounce
of seed is sufficient for a 10O-foot
row. Kale may be sown as soon as
the ground is in condition to work.
Successive paintings may be made at
intervals through the summer, but
pickings can be made from the first
planting during the entire season.
When planted in drills the plants may
be thinned as soon as large enough,
using the ones removed for green's.

Ucs~pEPr. or AoRrcygrUSE
HOW!D9a GROW g
WYNN GARDEN PEAS. Mp

Early peas require a rather rich
sandy loan with good drainage In or
der that the first paintings may be
made early in the spring. Fertilizers
that are high in heterogeneous matter
should not be applied to the land i'm
mediately before planting, as they Will
have tendency to produce too great
growth of vines at the expense OF
pods. Land that has been manured
the previous year will be found salts
factory without additional fertilizer.
While the sandy loan is to be pre-
ferred for early varieties, a good crop
can be produced on almost any good
soil.
The first paintings should be of such
varieties as Alaska, or some of Its
notifications, which make small but
quick growth and may or may not be
provided with supports. These should
be planted about two weeks before the
date of the last killing frost, or in fact
may be planted as soon as the ground
Is in condition. The tall-growing sorts
OF the Telephone type are desirable
for still later use, on account of their
large production and excellent quality.
Peas should be drilled in rows, one
to two pints being sufficient for n 100
foot row. The individual peas should
be placed about 1 inch apart in the
rows. The distance between rows will
depend upon the kind of cultivation
to be employed, and upon the varieties
used. The dwarf varieties need not be
any farther apart than necessary to
insure cultivation, while the tall-grOw-
ing sorts should not be planted closer
than 8 to 31s feet apart.
A good scheme is to plant two par
allel rows of peas about 6 or inches
apart, then leave a space Of IS inches
or two feet and plant two more rows
Of seed close together. Fewer strings
or less brush will be required to sup
port them than when planted in single
rows at the greater distance.
If peas are to be grown for immedi-
ate use Only,'a quart will be enough to
plant at one time. However, if It is
desired to grow peas for canning, large
| paintings should be made. If space
Is available, 1t is an excellent plan to
make considerable planting at one time
Of some one variety, so that the peas
for canning will be available in con-
siderable quantities. This enables the
housewife to get the canning out Of
the way in a comparatively short time.
Successive paintings of the various va
rieties of peas should be made at in
tervals Of about two weeks, until the
weather begins to grow warm, when
the paintings should be discontinued.
1t Is possible in some sections to
grow a fall crop of peas. When this
is done, early varieties should be used.
