SOWING TURNIPS TO
FOLLOW VEGETABLES
No Better Crop to Utilize Vacant
Spaces in Gardens.
They Are Useful for the Table, and
to a Limited Extent Will Supply
Place of Potatoes-Reasona-
bly, Rich Soil Needed.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
AS a crop to utilize garden space
after early vegetables have been har-
vested, nothing Is better than turnips.
Turnips should be planted In most
parts of the country about July %, bat
in the extreme South as late as the
last of August and can be left in the
ground until after several light frosts
or all winter in the South. They are
useful as q table vegetable, and to q
limited extent, will supply the place
of potatoes. 1t is the general opinion
of specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture that the
American public could consume many
more turnips than it does, fact of
particular interest this year when
there seems every indication of a cur
tailed potato crop.
For field sowing, turnips are usually
broadcasted. The particular require
ment Is q reasonably rich soil finely
raked and leveled off to avoid water
collecting in pools. The seed should
be sowed sparingly. One homely rule
is to take the quantity which seems
sufficient and divide it in half. After
the seeds have been scattered on the
surface of the ground. they should be
raked in. This may be done by drag
ging a piece of brush over the ground.
The surface should be well smOothed.
1t is good plan to SOW turnips just
after a rain, giving them opportunity
to sprout before a crust forms. After
sowing, they will need little attention
until harvest.

And yet 1t left trace.

That little trouble all the while
Was hurting you inside.
My, my, wish that money, too,
Would earn the interest
That ordinary troubles do
We carry in our breast!
Inside ourselves deposited

WHAT A MAN READS.

To disprove this statement the IL
rarian of the John Hay library at
Ne recent commencement of Brown
University showed in a glass case the
Ibfy books that Mr.. Hughes had taken

GOOD AND POOR PRODUCERS
Owner Of Small Flock Can Determine
by Observation Which of His
Hens Are Layers.

In any flock some hens will be found
to be much better producers than 9TH
ers. Often there are few hens that
are such poor layers that 1t doesn't
pay to keep them. Where the flock
is small the owner can determine by
observation which hens are merely
boarders; and these are the ones to
eat.

Department Devoted to Attractive MAGAZINE Material
THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
JACK.

WHILE this name IS OF
w course, the diminutive of
John-Or, rather, the Anglicised
form of the French Jacques
ii appears i'm English in num-
Der of ways which apparently
have no connection with the
name. Among these may be men,
toned boot jack, iack-knife, lum-
er-jack, blackjack, Union-jack
and jack-tar.
The reason for this usage Is
because the proper name or
nickname, Jack" has for many
years past been applied in Eng
land to servants or labOrers as
class. Jack is a handy and
easy name for a waiter or a
caddy, or a groom, much as many
Americans apply the name
George to any negro porter. For
this reason, many appliances
which are subject to rough usage
or which perform the tasks of
laborer are known by the
prefix Jack" with a noun which
designates the use to which they
are put. The expression Jack
of all trades" is another eX-
emplificatiOn of the same usage,
while the substitution of the
name Jack" for the "knave" in
a pack of cards is an indication
of the hard usage which this gen.
tleman undergoes at the hands
of the queen. king and ace.

IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR HENS

Hens lay best in the spring of the

can be kept the better will be the ogg
production. Sunshine, fresh air, green
