Small Frames Protect.

PLANT ENSILAGE CORN EARLY
Crop for Dairy Cows Is Greatly I'M
proved by Being Planted Before
Smaller Variety.

In many of the Northern states en-
silage is the chief support Of the
diaries, and two kinds Of corn are
grown-a small variety for grain and
large variety for ensilage. That's
right.
In many of these states the ensilage
variety is not planted till after the
planting of the small variety is fin
ished. That's wrong.
The ensilage crop is usually wonder
fully improved by being planted two
or three weeks earlier than the small
variety. BY being planted before the
days become long the ensilage varieties
form much more grain and mature It
very much better.-United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.

grown plants to the garden that are
worthy of special attention. In the
| first place, the plants to be transplant
ed should be watered q few hours be-
fore they are to be handled; this will
cause the dirt to adhere to the roots
and give them a better start when
they are planted out. If the plants
are grown In flower pots, in paper
bands or berry boxes, they should be
carried to the garden in their con-
tainers. Pot-grown plants should be
loosened by inverting them and gently
knocking the edge of the pot on some
thing solid. The plants then are set
with the ball of earth adhering to
their roots.
If the plants have been grown In pa
per bands or berry boxes, the sides of
the bands or boxes should be slit with
knife and removed as the plants are
set. Where the plants are grown in
trays or in a hotbed, knife should be
run between the rows, cutting the
earth in both directions, and each
plant lifted with a cube of earth at
tached to its roots.
Use Fresh Burrows.
The holes or burrows in which the
plants are set should not be made un-
til ready to transplant the plants. If
made too soon the soil will dry out
and cause the plants TO wilt. Under
all circumstances, it pays to apply a
little water around the roots of each
plant as it is set; this causes the soil
to form close contact with the roots
20 h. al
soaked into the soil. dry earth should
Be filled in around the plant and slight
ly firmed. Plants set in this manner
will invariably start without whiting.
1t is always a good idea to have a
few more plants than are required for
filling the space in the garden, in or
der to replace any that die or are de-
stroyed by insects.

milk makes them tough, water makes
them stringy and the French say posi-
lively no liquid at all; hence take
everyb0dy's advice and use that which
seems best. "A perfect omeiette Is
matter of experience and deft hano'
says Myrtle Reed.
A small omelette is easier to handle
and have we'll cooked and shapeiy than
a large one; hence it is better 10 go
through the process twice or more
than to fail with too many eggs In the
omelette.
Plain Puffy Omelette.-Break six
eggs, separating the yolks and whites.
Beat the yolks until thick, add table,
spoonful of cold water for each yolk.
season with salt and white pepper.
Beat the whites until stiff then turn
into them the beaten yolks. Mix light
ly and pour into a smooth omelette
pan that has been well heated ana
creased bottom and sides with table
spoonful of butter. Lift the sides or
the omelette while cooking with a
spatuia. This lets the center cook at
the same time. When we'll done on
the bottom set into the oven to finish
cooking on top, then fold by scoring
each side and carefully place on
hot platter.
The above recipe may be prepared
by beating the eggs together and add
ing a tablespoonful of milk for each
egg, seasoning to taste. This omelette
is richer in food value because of the
milk, but such an omelette is never as
good to look at.
Omelettes may be served with varf-
Gus vegetables such as chopped chives
and parsley stirred into the eggs just
before putting into the pan.
Pea OmeIette.-Prepare the puffy
omelette and just before folding add
a cupful of drained, buttered and hot,
well-seasoned peas to the side; then
fold over the omelette and ~erve. Or
the peas may be poured around the
omelette on the platter. Asparagus
tips, mushrooms, crab, shrimp, lobster,
oyster. ham. dried beef, tomato and
combinations too many to mention
may be used.

until the liver begins to act. then taper
the doses to just a pinch after meals.

Plants set In the open ground may
be protected from frost by turning
small boxes over them and covering
the boxes with little earth. Old
berry boxes are sometimes used for
this purpose. but should be covered
completely by soil, as the plants will
freeze just as readily underneath the
exposed boxes as If left in the open

PLAN FOR CUTTING ASPHALT
Method Shown in Illustrations Is Tins
and Labor Saver-Wire Cuts
Through Material.

Asphalt Is usually shipped in tin,
barrels. The metal is stripped off and
the asphalt rolled up to the stopping
board; the wire shown, attached to
the winding drum, is passed over and
around the asphalt to piece of pipe
under and, ahead OF the stop board
When the drum is turned 1t tightens
up on the wire and causes it to cut
through the asphalt. Kerosene is
poured on the wire to make it pass
through the asphalt easily.
The barrel shape Is first cut In half,
then each half is cut into quarters
