Vegetables and Berries.

All this time the amateur gardener
has been casting longing glances over
the hedges into the flower garden, and
Nearning to enter that enchanted land,
but on looking over the list of vege-
tables names were found that could
not be ignored.
1--WE have no artichokes in our gar
den, Mr.. Burbank, no rhubarb, no
onions, no lettuce and no radiShes, and
above all no berries"
"They must not be left out" said
Mr.. Burbank, land we will plant the
perennial artichokes and rhubarb at
one side where the spring cleaning
and cultivation will not SO much dis
turb them.
"As plants from the seed of the
artichoke vary greatly, after many
years experiment and by careful Sc
lection l have succeeded in producing
a hybrid artichoke of unusual size and
flavor. 1t can be successfully grown
in northern climates by starting early
in April or May. From these seed
lings the best should be selected and
kept in storage during the Winter and
set out in the following Spring"
"How about planting .conditions?"
They require good, deep, rich
soil and are set out 2 or 8 feet apart
in rows about feet apart. They are
really very ornamental and add to
the beauty of the garden.
"Rhubarb is ornamental, too-and
that comes next!'
Yes, and it, too, must be given a
permanent position, in we'll fortified
soil and the ground deeply dug, as the
plants make great root growth. 1t
may be propaSa ed by division of the
roots, and the stalks should not be
cut until the second year. If raised
from seed, it may be sown early in
protected place, and set out in May,
or better yet, allowed to grow through
tho first season, then planted by 4
to feet apart"
Now that articholles and rhubarb
have been settled, how about lettuce,
radisheS and onions?
"They are simple enough to handle.
In the case of the first the same rich
soil and careful sowing of the seed
which must be started under protec-
ton when sown very early and late in
The year, but in between it may be
sown in the open at intervals for sue
cession. The same rules apply to rad
ishes, except that they must be grown
quickly for tenderness and crispness
in rich, sandy soil, and not allowed TO
stay in the ground too long.
LAS for onions"
LAS for onions, they are grown from
seeds or sets, which are very small
onions, early in the year, and are cul-
tivated much like their neighbors."
What comes next?"
"Berries:'
Mr.. Burbank seemed to think ber-
ries too big a subject to be dismissed
lightly, and the writer's notebook was
turned over another leaf.

Thirty-Third Day.

LA PAZ, Bolivia, February 81
You can really tell a nation by its
dogs. Not that these highland hounds
are any less moth-eaten than the
Peruvian pups. but they seem bright
er, better fed and less cringing. The
same is true of the Bolivian Indians.
The Aymaras are a doggone sight su-
perior to the Quechuras of Peru.

Indian woman-is the most pictur-
esque figure in South America. She

has got. Nowhere in the world does
woman reach a relatively higher
standard. She is brown and plump
and well dressed. And what is more.
she is clean, although she depends
only on a passing rainstorm for a
hath.
She wears a glistening white glazed
derby hat. hiEh-heeled French shoes,
open-worked stockings. several short
skirts of several shades, and a bright
Colored shawl. The high-heeled shoes
cost her at least ten dollars, and her
shawl may be worth anything up to
a hundred. How she manages to buy
such expensive clothes is mystery.
On her back in nest of lace she
carries baby. I never saw so many
babies. No Cflola would be without
one-and no Chola ever is.
The Chola-her mate-shows up in
drab contrast beside her. He is lazy
and full of coca. His clothes are
dirty and coarse, and his feet are bare.
He allows her to do all the work and
transact most of the business, being

Parted Hair.

We are apparently going in for a
period of extreme and demure sim
plicity, an inevitable reaction to the
elaborate artific,ality of several years.
These periods take years to come and
go, the changes coming so gradually
that only those who are looking out
for them notice them at all.
But If you watch, you'll see for
yourself. A year ago there was a hint
of the directoire in dress and coats
the merest hint, such as puff sleeves
and clinging skirts, and a series of
little capes on some ultra smart coats.
This Spring the directoire influence
Is felt more strongly. Now comes a
fad for parting the hair in the middle
and brushing it very simply, wearing

pronounced.
We are going back to a certain
simplicity of style; not real simplicity
we may even go that far but 1t won't
be for many years. We are going to
an artificial simplicity. exactly like
that of the directoire days, which were
simple compared to the period shortly
before them. And parted hair is one

tainly have made a bad-looking place
where they have been at work, but
In time 1t would have looked far worse
but for them. Those grubs would
have killed the grass by eating the
roots"
How do you suppose Jimmy Skunk
knows where there is. a grub?" asked
Farmer Browns Boy.
Smells 1t, I guess" replied Farmer
Brown. IF he doesn't he must hear
1t at work on the roots. But the
grubs that were in those cases were
not working, so it looks to me as If he
must locate them by smell. Anyway,
he finds them and that Is all that con-
Germs us. l was bit worried about
the chickens when 1 found that that
Skunk had made home under the
hen house, but I guess that she isn't
going to touch the chickens and I'm
glad she is living that near, because 1t
is right handy to this lawn"
Farmer Browns Boy smiled. "Yet
a lot of people think that Jimmy
Skunk Is good only for his fur" said
he.
You mean a lot of people don't
think at ALL" replied Farmer Brown.
i've known for a long time that
Jimmy Skunk is useful citizen, but
never reallZed IL quite so 1ully as L
do now. Some insect pests man can
successfully fight, but these white
grubs Norking underground can't be
reached without digging up the sod
and turning 1t over, and then not all
the grubs would be found. Jimmy
Skunk comes along and does the job
neatly and quickly. He does no un-
necessary digging. He and Mrs.
Skunk are saving this lawn of ours
when it would nave been impossible
for us to save it. All we have to do
is to go around after them and fill in
these little holes and roll the ground.
In short time no one will ever know
that any digging has been going on
here. Jimmy and Mrs. Skunk are well
come as neighbors so far as am con-
cerned. But let us hope that they
have no misunderstanding with other
folk"
Here is hoping" chuckled Farmer
Browns Boy.

said, they thrive best in a moist
sandy soil, and 1t is well to set out
the plants in Autumn. And although
they must be cultivated to keep the

not be disturbed, as breaking them
often causes suckers to grow. The
