RADISHES.

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
sibIe to grow 1t 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 a 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
and late autumn planting.
There are autumn varieties Of rad
ishes 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

PEPPERS.

Plant the seeds of peppers in the
hotbed about six weeks to two months
before time to set them in the open
ground. They should be transplanted
at least once and should not be set in
the open until the ground is thorough
ly warm. When grown in the garden
the large bull-nosed types should be
placed in rows feet apart with the
plants from Is to II inches apart in
rows. Frequent shallow cultivation
should be given, and the plants will
continue to bear until frost kills them.

are being formed. Brussels sprouts
are more hardy than cabbage and in
many sections may be planted in the
fall. They should be set in rows 30
TO 80 inches apart if for horse cult
walton. The plants should be set from
20 to "a inches apart in the rows.
Brussels sprouts may be stored for
winter use in much the same way as
cabbage. The best method is to take
up the plants, pack them closely to-
gether in trench, covering them with
straw or other litter TO protect them
from freezing and thawing.

kOHL-RABl.

The edible portion of the kohl-rabi
is the thickened stem. 1t is closely re-
lated TO cabbage and cauliflower. 1t
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 can be planted in the open
at the same time. Early sowings are
made, and if thinned to 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 poor mans
caulifiower.

COLLARDS.

The culture and uses of collards are
the same as for cabbage The plants
should be started in very early spring
and set out as 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 a true
head but instead a 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.

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 that they may
be planted around the fence, utilizing
the fence as a support for the vines.
In this manner q crop of beans can
be secured with the use of a minimum
amount of spacing.
When planted in rows in the gar
den, pole lima beans are usually plant
ed in hills 3 to feet apart and sup
ported on poles or a string and wire
trellis.
The bush limaS are usually drilled
In rows some 312 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 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
pods, dry them thoroughly and she'll
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.

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. If the
heads become too crowded. the leaves
should be broken off so as 10 give the
heads more room. However, a few

PARSLE

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 one or
two transplantings they should be set
in the open ground in rows Il to IS
inches apart and 3 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.

can be grown on almost any we'll
drained soil, but will do best on deep
sandy loan. There is little POSSIBLE
lty OF having the ground too rich, and
liberal applications of partly rOtted
barnyard manure should be made be-
fore 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 in this way.
AS the asparagus bed is a permanent
feature of the garden, it 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 a good plan to re-
move the top soil and spade manure
into the subsoil to a depth of IA or is
inches. The plants may be set in
rows for horse cultivation or in beds.
If in rows they should be set IA inches
apart, with the rows 31a feet apart.
If in beds, one foot apart each way is
the proper distance to set the plants.
In setting the plants the crowns should
be covered 4 or 5 inches deep.
In the North the plants should re-
ceive a mulch of or inches of ma
nure in winter. In the South the
mulch is not necessary, but the plants
should receive 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.

Proper Clothing Prevents
the Ever Obnoxious Colds

Few are aware of the Importance uf
properly clothing our bodies to pre-
vent taking cold, states a writer in
the Christian Herald. There are two
points always TO be kept in mind
when thinking Of proper clothing
First, all clothing must be porous, Or
pervious, and the other Is that the ex-
tremItieS should be kept warm.
II we recall the fact that when we
live proper lives the skin exudes as
much moisture in the "a hours as the
lungs do, and that the lungs and skin
eliminate as much moisture as the xiii
neys, we see how imperative it Is that
we take proper care of the skin, so
that it may perform its natural func-
tlons. The wearing Of impervious
garments prevents the escape of the
and tends to disease.
If We decide to wear only porous
clothing, we must exclude furs for
our wardrobes; but this would upset
the fashions, which would never do.
And we wear furS around our necks,
just the place where they should never
be worn, for the neck never suffers
from cold naturally. We constantly
neglect the extremities, allowing them
to become cold, while we wrap our
necks with the skins of animals.

In making bread, pastry, etc, use this
mixture in exactly the same proper
tlOns and treat it exactly as you would
ordinary flour.
In nutritive value the difference be-
tween the mixed flour bread and the
all-wheat flour bread is very slight.
Their food value is practically the
same, and If white corn flour IS used
the bread has the same appearance as
the all-wheat bread.
This bread has a decided advantage
for everyday consumption over most
of the war breads made of whole
wheat, Oat flakes, bran, ETC., by being
free of the rOughage, and consequently
it is not irritating when used meal
after meal, and day after day, and
one would not be apt to tire of eating
it every day.
Corn -four can be obtained from
grOcers. or they can get it for you, as
it is regularly on the market and is
being made by a number of milling
companies and in cost should be cheap
er than wheat flour. 1t should be
ground as fine, or nearly. as fine, as
the wheat flour which you are in the
habit of using.
This bread makes u 20 per cent saw
ing of the wheat with no practical loss
in food value and without any of the
Objectionable features of the coarser
meals.

Life of a Baby Depends
On Care and Decent Home
Conditions Given Mother

Reports made by the federal chill
dren's bureau show that the chances
for life of baby grow appallinGly less
as the fathers earnings grow smaller.
Some of the figures quoted In the re-
port are pathetically eloquent. The
report is made upon studies Of infant
mortality among 1900 babies in eight
American cities, typical industrial cit
les of the East and middle West.
Here are some of the statistics ::
One-fourth Of all the fathers earned
less than $3.50 a year. 1t was found
that in such families one baby in ev-
cry six died. Only about one-eighth
of the fathers earned $1,O50 or more,
and it appeared that in this class only
one baby in sixteen died. 1t is as
serted that the rise of prices and the
diSOrganiZatiOn Of social and Indus
rial life on account of the war ac-
centuate the Importance of this per-
sistent relation of income to infant
mortality.
The final deduction seems to be en-
bodied in these words: "These studies
show that to provide mothers care
and decent home conditions. the fa-
Tiers must have adequate incomes.
In Manchester, n. H., nearly one
fourth of the mothers whose husbands
earned less than $3.50 year were
gainfully employed; only about tenth
when the husbands wages were ST.
$50 or over. The babies of mothers
who went out to work died at more
than twice the rate of more fortunate
children n"-ROchester Democrat and
