Late potatoes may be planted on
ground from which early peas or string
beans have been removed.
Late cabbage may be planted be-
tween the rows of early potatoes be-
fore this crop is mature. Turnips may
be sown between the rows of late corn
and late bush beans. Late beets may
be planted between the rows of late
beans and will grow long after frost
has killed the beans.
Storage in the Home.
BY utilizing every square foot of
space In the garden considerable
quantity of vegetables may be grown
for storage for winter use. If no stor-
age facilities exist In the home all the
crops suitable for keeping may be
stored in outdoor banks or pits. How
ever, 1t is not at all difficult to provide
storage facilities in most homes. it be-
ing only necessary to make use of the
cellar, the attic. Il large closet, or 9th
er parts of the dwelling, depending up
on the character of the product to be
stored.
Beans. including the Limas, may he
stored dry. and 1t Is advisable to grow
them to as great an extent as possible
for winter use. LimnS and other pole
beans may be planted around the fence,
it being possible in fhs'way TO produce
considerable quantities. of dried beans
for winter use. The pods should be al

tato. Because of the high cost and
scarcity of animal fats, deep frying
Is not so popular as formerly, neither
Is sauteing, for both methods take fat.
Vegetable fats are still on the list of
admissible fats and they make most
satisfactory ones to use in various
ways; they are not very expensive and
are common in the market. Corn oil,
olive oil, and many of the cottonseed
products are all good.
Potato Patties.-Select potatoes of
uniform size, pare, cut off a slice then
hollow out to make cups. Let stand
In cold water till time to prepare,
then wipe dry and fry in deep fat.
The shell should cook tender in eight
to ten minutes. Drain on tissue paper
In the oven door; sprinkle inside with
salt. Use these shells to hold creamed
peas, sweetbreads or any other desired
creamed dish. Creamed fish or chick
en- are especially good and the shell Is
eaten with its contents.
Yellowstone Potatoes.-Select large,
smooth potatoes; scrub well and bake
until done. Make two cuts in the form
or cross on the top or each; take up
with a towel and crush to loosen the
potato and let out the steam. Set on
hot napkin on a hot plate. Place a
generous piece of butter in the opening
and feck with paprika.
Oak Hill Potatoes.-Cut five hard
cooked eggs and five cooked potatoes
into slices a quarter of an inch in
thickness. Make a sauce of four ta-
blespoonfuls each of sweet fat and
flour, half a teaspoonful of salt, a
fourth of a teaspoonful of paprika.
and two cupfuls of good milk. In the
bottom put layer of potatoes and COW
er each layer until all are used with a
layer of the sauce. Cover the top with
the sauce and finish the top with a
cupful of buttered crumbs. Set in the
oven to brown. Serve very hot.

A half-acre garden, If cared for prop
erly, will produce far more vegetables
than the average family can consume
during the maturing period of the
crops. Only small portion of gar
den of this size should he devoted to
those vegetables that must be used rs
soon as they reach maturity. 1t Is
advisable 70 devote the major portion
of the space TO those crops which If
not needed at once may be kept for
