Limited space forbids growing
vine crops including cucumbers,
melons, squashes and pumpkins 10
any extent but the ingenious gar
dener can often outwit nature and
practically create space for these
crops. Summer squashes. owing To
their bush habit of growth. take IL
tie room. Cucumber5 and musk
melons may be supported on a trel-
lis. Watermelons and pumpkins
require too much room except pcs
sibly one hill of each.
Summer squashes are used while
young and tender the test being to
try the skin with the thumbnnll
and IL the skin cannot be punctured
easily the squash is old. The
suashes are cut in sections and
either boiled in u small amount u
water or steamed n short time until
tender. then mashed, seasoned aud
served while hot.
Winter quashes. such as Hub
bard and Boston Marrow, are deslr-
able wherever soil and climate a-e
suited and garden space will permit
their being grown They mature
late and may be stored in a warm,
dry room for winter use. AS a rule
winter squashes r baked and
served with butter, like sweet pota-
toes.
Danger IN Cucumbers
OF all things grown in the garden
cucumbers probably have the least
value. The danger from their use,
especially by children. is great. This,
however, frequently comes from
stale cucumbers or those picked
from a diseased or dying vine. Strict
ly fresh cucumbers used in moders-
ton as an ingredient of salads by
grown-ups may be permissible, but
by children, never.
Muskmelons are one of the most
uncertain crops for the small gar
den. The variety to plant depends
upon locality. It is best to ask the
advice Of some local scotsman.
Muskmelons can be grown upon a
t%rellis, like cucumbers, but they
have to be supported in little sings.

tracted wide attention recently I'M

system the officers put this informa-

rope has only one telephone to each
100 of the population, while the
United States, with only one-six-

In American communities, the

Without a telephone in its home,
or nearby in another home or a

in cities and towns would feel lost.
The telephone is needed to call the
