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 il is
possible to grow it Ill 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 frosts. The seed should
be sOHn in drills at n convenient dis
tance for cultivation, usually about is
inches. To be of good quality, radishes
must be grown quickly III rich soil,
and be used as soon as of sufficient
size. Successive paintings should be
made every few days until the weather
becomes warm. They will not with
stand hot weather and are suited to
early spring and late autumn plant
ing.
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.-U 5. Depart

Earliness is much desired by most
gardeners. 1t has been found that the
earliest safe dates for planting garden
crops can be determined from the av-
erage date of tie last killing frost in
spring, The accompanying map divides
the eastern portion Of the United States
into zones with difference of about
two weeks in the average date of the
last killing frost between zones. These
dates, while guide in planting, cannot
be depended upon as absolutely safe, as
in some years very late frosts may oc-

Women Better or Worse.

Women. when they are bad, are
worse than men and more disposed TO
commit crime. When the sex which
is sweet by inheritance once becomes
degraded 1t falls into greater excuses

Avoiding the Rush Hours

Everyone knows that there are rush hours
on the trolley and steam railroads.
Very few persons know that there are also
rush hours in telephone traffic and that calls
are likely to be delayed at certain hours of the
day owing to an unusual amount of traffic. The
busiest period usually is from to II a. M
Traffic congestion on railroads can be rene
died to some extent by placing additional trains
Or cars on the line. Not so with telephone traffic
each message must have its own exclusive
track"
# these messages could have more even
distribution throughout the day, it would assist
in eliminating to a great extent the delays which
sometime occur at rush hours
Urgent business calls cannot be deferred, but
there certainly are many business and social
calls that can be made outside the congested pc
Rod.
By avoiding the high spots, 9 to II a. M, our
patrons will assist us in our effort to meet the
constantly increasing demands on our service
caused by war conditions. This applies to toll
calls as well as to purely local calls.

track layers sent over to the Russian armies be-
fore the bolsheviki disturbed our calculations as
to the course Of the war. They were adapted to
haul heavy loads through snow, Ice, mud and

Of Maine. They were invented by A. o. Lombard

There Is no way of telling how many gasoline
tractors there are In use upon the farms OF the
United States. An expert In automobile power
puts the number at 25O.00O.
Farm experts already foresee the day when
gasoline power will be almost universal In agri-
culture. The war In a few months has done more
to increase the demand for mechanical power on
