the air with surprise. 1t was a little
fine spiderweb right across the door
way of Digger's home. Peter knew
then that Digger was not living there.
He knew that that house was de-
serted. What could have happened?
Was Digger the Badger dead? Had
Digger moved away? Peter wasted
no more time there. Off he started
asking every one he met If they had
seen Digger the Badger. No one had
and what is more, no one seemed to
be at all interested. This made Peter
all the more eager to find out what
had become Of Digger.
He hurried this way. He hurried
that way. He looked everywhere on
the Green Meadows. He even went
over to the Green Forest, though he
knew very well that Digger was not
fond Of the Green Forest. Nowhere
did he find Digger, or any sign of
Digger. And nowhere did he find any
one who knew anything about what
had become of Digger. All this made
Peter only the more curious. 1t re.
minded him that Digger had come to
the Green Meadows in the most mys-
terious way in the first place. He
didn't belong there. He had once said
that his home had been in the Far
West where Old Man Coyote had come
from. Peter knew Old Man Coyote s
story and how it happened that he
was now living so far from where he
was born. But Digger the Badger,
who kept very much to himself, had
never explained how he happened to
be there. He had appeared mysteri
ously, and now it seemed that he had
disappeared just as myStertouSly.

Clover.

AS you rumble along on whatever
little bonneville trolley takes you
committing home to your suburb or
the house or camp that you have TAX
en- for the Summer in Maryland or
Virginia, watch for the stately, the
fragrant, the friendly spikes of the
sweet clover rising between the ties Of
he track and swishing the sides of the
car from the embanlsment. For clover
breathes the very spirit Of June days
-odorous, gay. and innocent.
There is yellow sweet clover, and
white sweet clover, but they are
equally fragrant, and if they are as
common as the cinderS of the track,
they are in their modest way really
beautiful. And we ought to think
gratefully of plants that will cover up
unslghly spots, and grow, without
care. in any back yard. They are as
picturesque as gipsies. and they have
the same habitats. the outskirts of
large cities. and the roadsides of coun.
try districts.
Besides the sweet clovers, there are,
this month above all others, the true
or common clovers, favorite of the
bees, loved by the children because
one is never forbidden to pick them,
and. like the sweet clovers, foreigners
from the old country who, in their
gay dress, crowd the vacant lot and
the unsightly spots and render them
beautiful.
All the clovers belong to the pea
family, and therefore they are in
high favor with the farmer. For the
clovers are, par excellence, the re.
storers of nitrogen TO the soil. Nitro.
gen, that precious element which most
plants remove from the soil, which
lies at the bottom of the Muscle Shoals
controversy, which man at great ex.
pense captures from the air, is re-
stored. TO the soil, for nothing, by the
roots of the clover plant. on these
roots invariably live colonies Of bac.
terra which take nitrogen from the
air and restore it to the soil.

Raspberry Granite.

A granite is a grained ice which is
served, like a sherbert, in little glasses,
usually just before or after the roast.
For one made from raspberries take
three pints Of raspberries, one cupful
of sugar, one cupful of water and the
juice of one lemon. Boil the sugar
and water together for five minutes,
take from the fire, and add the strain
ed juice of the raspberries and lemon.
When cold, pack in a freezer and set
away without working. At the end
of an hour scrape the sides Of the
freezer can with long flexible knife,
mixing what has frozen with the rest
Of the more liquid portion. Do not
beat it, as it should be arse and
grainy. with Icy particles through it.
Close ard set aside again, opening and
mixing .t in this manner three times
in as many hours. At the end Of that
time stir in a pint of the whole fruit
and serve.

seen Digger the Badger. Peter never
did feel really acquainted with Digger,
but he used to like to pass near Dig
gers home once in a while just to see
him. He was so very different from
any one else in the Green Meadows
or the Green Forest that Peter never
tired of wondering about him. So
now, having thought of Digger, Peter
promptly started over to pay his re-
spectS.
When Peter reached the place on
the edge of the Green Meadows where
Digger had made his home, Digger
was nowhere to be seen. He's prob
ably down inside" thought Peter. Il
wish I dared go down in and make
him a call But I guess that would
be a very foolish thing to do"
Peter was quite right about this.
He couldn't possibly have done more
foolish thing than to go down into the
home of Digger the Badger, for the
chances are that he never would have
come out again. So, of course, Peter
didn't go in. He looked all around to
see If Digger might be hunting some
where near. He couldn't see him
Finally Peter ventured right up on
the sandy doorsteps of Digger's home
and right away it struck him that
there was an air about that house as
If 1t were deserted. He looked for
footprints on the sandy doorstep
There were no fresh ones.
That's queer" muttered Peter to
himself as he scratched a long ear
with a long hind foot and stared al
the entrance to Digger's home. 'tIt
Digger were out last night or early
this morning there should be foot

vegetables for Summer, especially aft
er heat has done it's damage?" asked.
You know, also, that there are
many owners OF country homes who
cannot begin their garden work until
late In June or IN July. and who can
not stay away from the city more
than two months to enjoy the prod
ucts.'
fortunately there are vegetables
ready and willing to accommodate
these Midsummer growers" said Mr..
Burbank, $50 that If such a garden
be properly started and the plants
kept growing constantly there is much
that may be produced within 60 days.
First, everything depends on get
ting the seeds to sprout promptly:
than in the early Spring, because
there is less moisture in the ground,
and the soil should be pressed firmly
about them. After sowing them. in
the absence Of rain, water we'll with
hose or sprinkler.
"In planting New Zealand spinach
soak the seeds for "a hours before
sowing, and it must not be forgotten
the spinach requires a heavily en-
riched soil. If not well fed the plants
will not be ready for cutting within

"Radishes and lettuce will. of course
always make good time, 1 suppose" I
said.
Yes, early radishes will be ready
for the consumer within 25 to 80 days
and are to be recommended for the
children's garden, where time drags
so heavily and the growing sea son
seems SO unnecessarily long.
1T must be remembered. however
that these small early varieties must
be gathered and used in their extreme
youth. because they do not stand heat
well and soon become pithy. Some
varieties. such as Icicle,' will grow
larger without deteriorating and last
longer, although requiring a week
longer for ripening"
What lettuce best stands the Sum
mer heat?' 1 inquired.
Several varieties of the crisp heads
and the Cos or Romaine will remain
in good condition for two weeks after
maturing, and will be ready for the
table in so days; Tom Thumb is the
earliest.
The Swiss chard greens will be
found satisfactory, as it is ready for

like spinach"
What other quick growers may be
included in the Midsummer garden"
early peas may be Sown as late
as the middle of August for late
crop, but they will not ripen under
so days. However, the old faithfuls.
beets, carrots and turnips. may be
counted on TO make their appearance
before vacation is over
THE Eclipse beets will be in the
first flush of youth and favor by
the end Of the so days, and If any
escape the family board they VIII be
in excellent condition for canning,
SURPRISING the Winter-stored full
grown beets.
Early carrots will mature quickly
and will be very good and sweet IL
gathered while small. Some of the
early varieties of turnips will be ready
for use in less than the allotted two
months, but the quick growing varie-
ties do not keep well, and for Winter
use those requiring another month
for ripening should be selected"
This might be called a very in
tensive little vegetable garden" I re-
marked.
And IL will be successful If the
grower remembers that while the sun
provides the necessary Summer heat.
he must provide plenty Of moisture in
days Of drought"

To starch organdie collar and

Hot salted vinegar will re-

When mixing mustard for the

ment to gradually add a little
salad oil.
Before washing lace cur
tains for the first time let
them soak for an hour or two
in cold water to which two
tablespoonfuls of table salt
have been added. The salt
takes out the dressing and the
curtains are no trouble to
wash afterward.
For old mahogany furniture

it will have just the right
