II Is springtime! Don't neglect TO
give your family some good old-fash-
toned greens. If you live in a large
city, you may have TO depend upon the
green's which some country woman
brings to market or upon spinach or
kale, which can usually be bought even
in winter. If you live in the country,
perhaps your instinct has already told
you that the tender green leaves Of
the dandelion, lamb's-quarter, wild
mustard. or whatever. variety of green's
your locality affords are waiting for
someon TO gather them for food.
People from primitive times r. this
have manifested a craving for green
food as winter passes and springtime
approaches. Probably this craving
arises from a real need of our bodies
for the materials which such foods
furnish.

Rice a La South Carolina.

No food, regardless of its merits, will
appeal to the unless il can
be made into an attractive dish. In
this country rice usually comes to the
table as an u%ninviting, glutinous mass,
except i'm certain sections of the South
ern states, where 1t is served with each
grain distinct and separate, making a
very tempting and appetizing dish. A
platter heaped with loose, flaky kerr
nels of rice is not only pleasing to the
eye, but satisfying to the APPETITE. IL
is very probable that the attractive APP
pearance of this dish on the South
Carolina table has had much to do
with the popularity and usefulness of
rice in that state.
In seeking information on the art Of
cooking rice, no mistake Is made in re-
ferring TO South Carolina, where the
true value of this cereal has been APP
preciated for over two centuries. A
Carolina housewife would advise the
using of one pint of rice, after thor
Ough washing, which she considers i'm
p%ortant, "tO n quart and n pint Of wa

salt. "This Is to be boiled over a quick
fire for ten minutes. stirring occasion
ally. Then pour off all or nearly all
the water; cover the vessel and put
over a very slow fire, and allow 1t to
steam for 10 minutes at least, stirring
occasionally. The rice will be soft or
grainy, according to the quantity of
water left on it when put to steam, and
the length of time allowed in the
steaming. The larger the quantity of
water and the shorter the steaming,
the softer will be the rice"
OF course, other methods are used in
boiling rice or at least notifications OF
the recipe given, but it must be re-
membercd that the results should not
be Il glutinous mass and that success
depends upon the proper amount of
water used and the length Of time In
steaming.

RADlSHES S.

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 it is pos
sible to grow it in the open ground
throughout the winter. For the home
garden the seed should be sown in the
open ground about the time of the last
killing frost. The seed should be sown
In drills at q 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 oon 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
and late autumn planting.
There are autumn varieties of rad
lshes which may be grown late In the
season and stored for winter use the
same as beets or turnips. A few Of
these will add variety to the winter
supply Of vegetables.

Iron Is Essential.

What is the particular use Of sue
foods to our bodies? All green leaves
contain In combination with the greer
~coloring matter more or less iron. VI
we are TO have rich, red blood We
must furnish this iron to our bodies.
Dandelion green's are n of the very
good sources of iron, containing" more
than many other sorts of greer leaves.
If we serve green's with h~ard-boiled
egg for garnish, we have n dish very
rich i'm iron. for the egg yolk con-
tributes it's share.
Besides the iron and other mineral
salts, the leaf vegetables contain a
very important substance which the
body must have for normal growth and
development. This Substance, recently
discovered and for which a name has
not yet been given, is also found in
butterfat and some other animal rats
but not in every food.
Greens have a place of real worth
I'm the diet and should be used In every
household not only in springtime but
late into the summer and, when pro-
durable. i'm the winter also. The
tender beet tops, celery tops, radish
tops, onion tops, and turnip tops
should not he discarded, but served as
green's. A little space in the garden
devoted to spinach, New Zealand spin
nch. or French chard will supply the
family with summer green's and also
should afford some material for can
ming for use during the winter months.
Lettuce leaves, which are m
times cooked for greens, and spinach,
both being mild favored and contain
ing much water. require no water for
cooking i'm addition to that which clings
TO the leaves from washing. Other
stronger-fiavored green's are usually
cooked i'm a small amount of water.
Greens should be cooked until tender,
but not overlooked. A tiny bit Of
baking soda added to the water they
are cooked i'm win help the greens to
retain their color.
In the country where meat is cured
Mt home, IL used to be the custom TO
keep the jowl of the hog for the espe-
cial purpose of cooking 1t with green's
in thr spring. If the jowl is not at hand.
a small piece of salt pork or h rind
from smoked bacon gives richness and
flavor when cooked with green's.
Children should be encouraged to
eat green's. as they especially need the
iron and the growth-promoting sub
stance which greens furnish. Some
times they object TO the slightly bitter
taste which some green's have, but II
made Into milk soups, the flavor Is
Hlnter so that 1t is not noticeable.

Protect Food in Lunches.

The precautions which must be
taken to keep lunches clean and safe
differ with circumstances. In dusty
seasons they should be wrapped par
ticularly well. In hot weather the use
of soft. moist foods in which molds
and bacteria are most likely to grow
rapidly should be avoided. Although
chopped meat mOistened with a dress
ing of some kind makes n good sand
wich filling. such foods are less desir-
able in hot weather than slices of meat,
peanut butter, or other foods less liza
BILE to spoil.

LIMA BEANS.

Lima beans should not be planted
until the ground is thoroughly warmed
up, as they are a heat-loving crop and
the seed will rot If 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 n 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 3 to 4 feet apart and sup
ported on poles or a string and wire
%trellis.
The bush limas are usually drilled
in rows some 31a feet apart for horse
cultivation, or slightly closer for hand
cultivation. The lima beans are n 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 not 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
poGs, 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 will give satisfaction.

PARSLEY.

The seeds of parsley should be
soaked for a few hours before plant
ing to insure termination. They are
slow in terminating and should be
handled very carefully. After n or
two t~ransplantings they should be set
in the open ground in rows - TO IS
inches apart and 9 to 4 inches apart
in the rows as early as the soil can be
put in condition. A small area devoted
to this crop will be sufficient for the
average family.
1t is used as a garnishing and for
flavoring soups. Keep a little Of it
growing at all times. 1t gives Il pleas,
ing touch to many dainty Dishes.

kOHL-RABI.

The edible portion of the kohl-rabl
is the thickened stem. 1t is closely re-
lated TO cabbage and caulifiower. It
should be started in the hotbed or win
dow box and set in the open ground
about the time of the last frost. The
method of planting and the cultivation
is similar to that practiced for cab
bage. 1t car be planted i'm 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
conditions. This plant should receive
much more consideration than usually
is given it. 1t is really a poor mans
cauliflower.

BRUSSELS

Brussels sprouts are closely related
20 cabbage and caulinower, and may
be grown in very much the same man
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, a few
leaves should always be left in the
top Of the stem where the new heads

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Ag%riculture.)
When the soil is well drained and
consequently will remain dry no floor
need be used in the poultry house, the
ground itself serving as the floor.
Often a slight dampness can be cor
rected by filling up the floor several
inches above the outside ground with
sand, cinders, gravel, or dry dirt.
Three or four inches of the surface of
the floor, and of the run if a very small
run is used, should be removed and re-
placed with fresh dirt two OF three
times a year. IF the ground is so wet
or damp that this condition cannot be
corrected by filling it is best to provide
a board floor, as this will help to keep
the house dry, will allow easier clean
ing and will promote the general
health and welfare of the hens. A
house with a board floor should be set
on posts or blocks, so that it is 3 to u
inches above the ground. When this
space is left the floor will not rot so
quickly and rats are not so likely to
take refuge under the house.
In order to keep the flock in n clean
and sanitary condition, dropping
boards should be provided and roosts
above them. This makes it easy TO
remove the droppings each morning
and helps greatly to keep the house
free from Objectionable odors. A lit
tie sand or ashes sprinkled on the
dropping board after each cleaning
will be found to make the cleaning
easier.
The dropping boards and rOosts
should be placed against the back wall.
Here they are out of the way and at
the same time where they are least
likely to be reached by drafts. The
dropping boards should be about 20 to

coLLARDs.

The culture and uses of collards are
the same as for cabbage. The plants
should be started i'm very early spring
and set M ms soon as the ground is
in condition. They withstand the heat
better than cabbage and are much
used in the southern portion Of the
country. COllards do not form Il true
head, but instead II loose rOsette Of
leaves, which. when blanched. are
very tender and of delicate flavor.
No southern garden is complete
without this plant. Too often, how
ever, it has constituted the sum total
in the shape of garden supplies. Use
it, but don't abuse it.

HOWI0aGROW
m ASPARAGUS.

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 possibil-
ity of having the ground too rich, and
liberal applications of partly rotted
barnyard manure should he made be-
lore 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 i'm this way.
AS the asparagus bed is n permanent
feature of the garden, IL 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 Il good plan to re-
move the top soil and spade manure
into the subsoil to n depth of II or 16
inches. The plants may be set in
rows for horse cultivation or i'm beds.

apart, with the rows 80 feet apart.
If in beds, n foot apart each way is
the proper distance to set the plants.
In setting the plants the crown should
be covered 4 or 8 inches deep.
In the North the plants should re-
ceive a mulch of 4 or 3 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.
