Salad Garden

If you have only a small garden
plot, a salad garden will get most
out of it. Salad, practically speak
ing, is composed of raw fruits or
vegetables, with dressing. Cooked
vegetables, cold, may be used to
good advantage in some salads.
These vegetables will provide the
year round for your table:
Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers,
lettuce, winter radishes, root celery,
curly endive, French endive, French
dandelions, corn salad, and Chinese
or celery cabbage.
Cucumbers for economy of space
may be trained as upright vines
against a sunny fence. The toma-
toes should be trained to stakes and
single stems and the smaller salad
plants may be grown among them.
The despised dandelion, despoil-
er of lawns, is a fine salad plant,
but its French or cabbage leaved
cousin is much finer. If you have
never eaten the dandelion as a salad,
dig up a few plants this spring
when you are renovating the lawn,
clean them thoroughly, picking the
leaves apart, then make dressing
of hot bacon fat and vinegar, sea-
soned with plain salt and pepper,
and there you have an old-fashion-
ed spring tonic salad that is tempt
ing to most palates. If you want
something more delicate, pick out a
few husky looking specimens and set
flower pots over them for a couple of
weeks Then try the blanched
leaves with a French dressing.
The French dandelion makes a
fine early spNng salad, fine green's,
and its root, larger and thicker than
the native, is stored in winter, boil
ed, sliced and served cold. But
never let it seed. American dande-
hons are bad enough withouta a
French invasion.

How Pres. Harding
Got His Name

Harding is one of the last names
that is derived from a first name.
The first name Harding is said to
have been derived from two old
words-"here," meaning an army,
and ing" meaning meadow or
place where an army is encamped.
Another authority assures us that
the Hardings were descended from
the Anglo-S Saxon Heardings-a name
that in old Morse was Haddingjar
originally Danish and Swedish in
origin-who in remote times made
their home in England.

Weather Prophets.

The weather prophets have predict
ed long, severe winter. They base
their predictions in part that there is g
larger than usual crop Of mast, and
that squirrels are laying upvery liberal
supplies. Other signs it is said point
in the same direction.
1t would be we'll for farmers and
others be prepared to take care of the
birds, not that huntsmen may be able
to kill more next season, but as pro-
lection to their crops, without birds,
Obstructive insects would destroy, or at
least, seriously injure many useful
crops.
Should these predictions prove true,
there will be much suffering among
the poor. Many who subsist by their
day labor, can manage TO support their
families during the summer and mild
winter months, but they will certainly
be dependent upon their more FORUM
ate neighbors, if we should have such
q winter as has been predicted, There
will certainly be room for the exercise
of charity at home.
