Where garden space is limited plant
root and salad crops. No garden, large
Or small, is complete without them,
but they are particularly adapted to
small backyard gardens. Among the
root crops are radiSheS, beetS, carrots,
parsnips, satisfy or vegetable oyster,
and turnipS Salad crops include let
tuce, common Or wild CreSS. danuelOn,
Cos lettuce or rOmaine, Chinese cab
bage, and others. They require little
space, because they can be planted in
rows from 10 to IS inches apart, and
cultivated with hand tools. Many gar
deners make only one planting of these
crops, but the garden specialists Of
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture suggest that several paintings
Of them be made a week Or SO apart,
i'll order to have a succession Of those
vegetables.
Radishes are one Of the first and
best vegetables that come from the
garden in spring. They should be
planted rs early as possible, whether
fer market or home use. For the home
supply small amounts should be plant
ed, and at least two or three paintings
made with varieties that mature at
different times.
Food Value Of Beets.
Beets are one of the most important
crops for the home garden. Seed can
be planted just as soon as the soil is
in condition to work. When the plants
crowd one another in the row, thir
them out when they are young, anC
cook them as greens. Later, when

WILD DANDEL|0NS ARE fine
Some Gardeners Cultivate Them and
Get Best Quality for Salad by
Covering Lightly.

Thousands Of bushels Of wild dan.
delions are gathered from the pas
lures and meadows for green's every
spring. Some gardeners cultivate
them, and get the finest quality for
salad by covering them with light
coating Of fine straw which causes the
hearts Of the plants to develop into a
cluster Of bleached and tender leaves.

Very little has ever been done in the
way of caponizing turkeys, but when
If has been tried the capons were found
to be much quieter in disposition and
less likely to range over a wide area
than the toms, and this character
should be of considerable advantage

they are about an inch in diameter,
both leaf stems and young beets can
be cooked together. When the beets
are larger the leaf-stems become tough
and woody. As rule two paintings
should be made, one extremely early
and another in about four weeks.
Carrots should be planted just a lit
tie later than beets, and as soon as
the plants are up they should be
thinned. A second thinning will leave
the plants one and one-half to two
inches apart in the row and give a
supply of small carrots, known as baby
carrots, for use on the table. The
tops Of the carrots cannot be used for
greens.
Parsnips and satisfy are more in
the nature Of winter crops; that is,
they are grown during the summer
and kept for winter use. A section of
row 20 to 30 feet long generally will
produce all the parsnips or satisfy that
| the average family will want.
While 1t is true that too much lettuce
often is planted at one time, not
enough attention is given to keeping a
continuous supply. Lettuce plants
grown in the hotbed or cold frame, or
in a box in the house, can be- planted
in the open ground just as soon as the
danger of the last frost is past.
Fresh Things All Year.
BY making study of the differen,
kinds of salad crops offered in seed
catalogues one can easily have con
tinuous supply from the earliest
springtime until the late autumn, anC
even into the winter. Water cress, fol
instance, is grown commercially II
ponds or springfield streams in sec
tons where the water naturally con
tains large amounts Of lime. By start
Ing water cress from seeds sown in ,
box in the house or by getting buncl
of cress in the market and using tn,
stems for plants, it IS easy to grow {
bed of water cress without the aid O
q stream or pond.
Cnickory, or endive, is one Of tn
finest of the winter salads. The. root
are grown during the summer, an,
then dug in the fall and packed in tn
cellar in boxes Of moist sand, the root
being placed rather close together II
the box with the crowns or tops nea
the surface. A covering Of straw
placed over the box. and the so
around the roots kept moderately We
tered. Fresh, young leaves will b
formed beneath the straw, and as the
are grown in comparative darkness
these are white, crisp and tender.

To Sew on Lace.

In sewing handmade lace on under
garments it is a great help to first sew
the lace on a piece Of tape. Then,
sew the tape on the garment. The
lace Is not only easier to sew on this
way. but it can be ripped off much
more easily when the garment Is worn
out. as handmade lace will almost al
ways outwear two suits Of underwear.

insect pests are hard to reach with
ordinary sprays, but the floating dust
settles upon the under side of the
leaves as we'll as on the surface. The
experiments show that much larger
areas can be treated in less time than
is required by spraying. Moreover the
equipment necessary to apply the dust
is much less expensive than spray
outfit and its cost Of application is
less than by the older method. 1t
weighs less than spray and is more
conveniently handled. 1t can be mixed
with arsenate of lead or sulphur Tor
use against insects and fungous dis
eases.

SETTING OUT NUT TREES

Nut rees, such as walnut,
hickory and oak, develop a deep
taproot and few lateral feeding
roots during their first year.
They cannot ordinarily be trans

fully as other trees, so that
planting the nuts Or acorns on
