Glass Jars for Kitchen Supplies.
Glass jars are excellent in which to
keep kitchen supplies, as one can tell
at a glance, if the supplies need re-
plenishing. Cooked foods can also be
kept in them, covered and put on ice.
without fear Of their touching other
foods in the ice chest. Lettuce, pars-
ley and radishes keep fresher in these
jars, which are also excellent for
keeping oysters.
Grow Your Own Herbs.
If you have a few feet Of available
space somewhere near the kitchen
door, try having sweet herb bed. 1t
will afford much pleasure to you while
you are planning, planting and caring
for it, and it's products will be of real
worth. They can be used not only
when they are fresh but they can be
dried for winter use.
The bed should of course contain
plenty of parsley. Sweet basil, sweet
marjoram, sage, summer savory and
thyme should also be planted.
Parsley should be set out early.
Seeds of the finest quality can be
bought for ten or fifteen cents pack
age. They are slow to germinate and
so should be soaked for "a hours in
lukewarm water, then dried on. a
blotter until they can be handled and
then planted. The soil in which they
are planted should be rich and finely
pulverized-as indeed should be the
soil of the whole bed.
The parsley should be sown in drills
q foot apart and not more than an
inch deep. 1t should be covered, and
if the soil is of light, sandy texture, il
should be well pressed down over the
seeds with a board. If the soil is
heavy and of claylike quality it need
not be pressed down. The seeds should
be kept moist. They may not germi
nate for four weeks, but when they dc
come up they will grow rapidly anc
sturdily.
There are several kinds of parsley
which sell for five cents, instead Of
/, ten package, which are quite as sat
E isfactory for garnishing and flavorins
as the more expensive kind.
t One package of seeds, of course, will
contain too many for small herl

seeds with some friend who wants
