If the rubbish left over from last

son. Clean CT ire plays an important
part In the fight against insects-a
menace to the success Of the home
gardeners efforts. Many forms of In
sect enemies of u vegetable garden
are protected thr h the winter by
brush and other rubbish, which, If
removed, would materially reduce their
numbers.
Cutw0rms, which hide In the soil in

feed on the tender growth and cut
small plants entirely off, wireworms
that damage the tubers of potatoes

er insects, winter under brush and rub
bish on the earth or a few inches I'M
der ground. Where they can find pro
lection during the cool weather of
winter, conditions are ideal for their
survival.
Active During Winter.
"Aphids" or plant lice, are active
during the winter months in the more
southern sections and find food on
ornamental vines and shrubs and on
growing weeds which afford them food
and shelter when other plants are not
available. Much may be gained by
keeping down the weeds in neglected
corners.
Leaves, stems, and other litter should
never be allowed to accumulate up to
the time of planting, or there will be
thousands of insects the coming year
where there were hundreds last season.

Work Soil to Destroy Insects.
The soil should be thoroughly worked
over during the winter to destroy such
insects as may be spending the winter
on, or a few inches below, the surface.
This is best done at least month be-
fore the seeds are planted.
If chickens are available for the pur-

is the thickened stem. 1t is closely re-
lated to cabbage and caulifiower. 1t
should be started In the hotbed or win

about the time of the last frost. The
method of planting and the cultivation
Is similar to THAI practiced for cab
bage. 1t can be planted in the open
at the same time. Early sowings are
made, and If thinned to 4 to 6 inches
apart the plants will soon grow to
edible size under favorable weather

LIMA BEANS.

Lima beans should not be planted
until the ground is thoroughly warmed
up, as they are heat-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 that they may
be planted around the fence, utilizing
the fence as support for the vines.
In this manner a crop of beans can
be secured with the use of minimum
amount of spacing.
When planted in rows in the gar
den, pole lima beans are usually plant
ed in hills 8 to A feet apart and sup
ported on poles or a string and wire
trellis.
The bush limas are usually drilled
In rows some 31k feet apart for horse
cultivation, or slightly closer for hand
cultivation. The lima beans are full
season crop, that is, they occupy the
ground for the entire growing season,
and sufficient amount should be
Nanted to provide for the needs of the
family for the entire season. Any sur
plus not used green may be allowed to
dry on the vines, picked and stored
for winter use.
Lima beans constitute one of the
mpst 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 beans do not
thrive, pole beans OF the Lazy Wife
variety win give satisfaction.
