How do they do it," They seem
TO have everything they want. yet

Are you sure? What are your
must haves?" Make a list of them,
an honest list, and see If you are not
having many things beside.
Family Must Agree.
The difficulty is with the extra
things. Ii you will first make your
list of must HAYES" and then list
of do bayes" you will find that in
the second list are many things you
could easily do without, and you
could use the money released first te
save aud then to purchase more Of
the things which you want.
How can such lists be made help
fol in solving family money problems
All members of the family must agfe'
upon three things; first, that chang

mountains, but with all agreed much
can be done.
Make Two Lists
When everyone is interested and
the lists are made out to include
must HAYES" do HAYES" and
wants." estimate the cost of each
and then as If playing checkers, let
the wants which are worth while take
the places of do HAYES" which are
unnecessary and yet cost the same.
You will find that you have left two
lists, one of must HAYES" and a Sec
ond OF wants which may be gratiied
with no more money than you spent
before.
The way to save is to save first a
definite amount in definite way, then
spend according to careful plar
which provides for the must HAYES
and for as many wants as possible
II you drift you will buy the ID
HAYES" which are not needed and We
absorb large amount OF money.
The whee secret of success in thi

When set In spring, the cabbage
plants should be started in the window
box or in hotbeds some six weeks be-
fore the average date of the last kill
ing frost in the particular locality.
They may be set in the gardens as
soon as. the ground is in condition. For
horse cultivation the rows should be
from 21s to feet apart and the plants
from II to 20 inches apart in the rows.
Cabbage requires rich warm soil
for early maturity, a loan constitute
ing a good type of soil for the purpose.
It is an excellent plan to put shovel
full of compost under each plant.
Early cabbage must be used as soon
as it reaches maturity, or the heads
are liable to burst and be lost. 1t is
an excellent plan to grow early cab
bage for summer lzraut making, as it
has been found that kraut may be
made at the time that early cabbage
natures and will keep successfully. It
is much easier to produce early cab
bage than the later varieties for this
purpose.-U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.

Bush and pole b9hns are among the
most valuable and dependable crops of
the garden. "When in doubt what to
plant-plant beans"
Beans thrive best in a rather warm
sandy loan, but may be grown on al
most any kind of soil. For the best
results the soil should not be too rich
in heterogeneous matter, or the plar'
will run to foliage and stems o. ne
expense of the crop. Beans v al not
withstand frost, and the first p antings
in the spring should not be ID de until
about two weeks after stb average
date of the last killing fros i. The soil
should be in good condi' on and the
rows should be laid Jut perfectly
straight SO as to make 1ltivation easy.
One pint of the seed IF most varieties
of snap beans is sufficient for 100
foot row. When the cultivation is to
be done by horse, the rows should be
from 80 to 36 inches apart. When
hand cultivation is to be employed, the
rows should be from Is to "a inches
apart. It requires from 40 to go days
for snap beans to be ready for use
if the weather conditions are favor
able.
Successive paintings of string beans
should be made at intervals of ten
days to two weeks throughout the
growing season. BY following this
scheme constant supply OF tender
haoprs will ho acSl1I.nd IT g Danart-

O.swoEpr. OF AcRlcyIrUEe
How, TO ROW, 3
Nm srs.. Potatoes. III

The sweet potato thrives best in the
southern part of the country, as it is
tropical plant. 1t cannot be sue
cessfully grown in the extreme north
ern sections of the country. The
plants are started in hotbeds by bed
ding potatoes in sand and allowing
them to sprout. The plants are brok-
en- off the parent potato as soon as
they have formed a few leaves and a
root system of their own, and as soon
as the ground in the open is well
warmed up. This will be one month
after the date of the last killing frost.
Sweet potatoes are a heat-loving
plant, and cannot withstand cool
weather. In setting them in the open,
the usual method is to throw the soil
up in ridges about 4 feet apart. The
plants are set in row on top of these
ridges some u or IA inches apart.
Sweet potatoes thrive best in
sandy soil that is well fortified
throughout. 1t is good plan to open
burrows where the row is to be, fill
these burrows with manure and turn
the soil back on top of the manure.
This should be thoroughly mixed with
a shovel pillow or cultivator, as too
much manure in one spot under the
hole will produce large growth Of
vines at the expense of the potatoes.
Sweet potatoes may be dug at any
time after they become large enough
to use, but improve in quality as they
approach maturity. They should be
dug as soon as the vines are killed
by frost.--U. s.. Department of Agri-
culture. =.
