that has sprung from the crown Of
the root During the spring or
early summer there will be an album
dance of lavender-colored flower
heads. These blossoms close at
noon. The long, grasslike leaves
are quite attractive. The small roots
reach a length of l foot, are un-
branched and may be 2 inches in
diameter at the top. This root is
what we eat. The seeds are actually
the fruit Of the plant.
When planting the satisfy out
doors due consideration must be
taken whether or not the cultiva-
ton will be by hand or horse drawn
tool. The plants are rather thickly
packed together in the row because
the seeds have been sown in the
ground by machine. Thin out SO
that each plant will be given 3 to 6
inches.
The grayish-white skin of the ma
ture vegetable is left on and re-
moved after the satisfy is cooked.
Then prepare the vegetable by
slicing it and adding butter, a dash
Of pepper and more salt, if needed.

Two hundred years ago the satisfy
was a highly appreciated plant. 1t
was found wild in Greece, Dalmatia,
Italy and Algeria. Its popularity in
the 18th century, according to
Oliver de Series, was short lived in
his country, which was the south
Of France.
The first part of the scientific
name means goats beard" Our
word, "salsifis." comes from the
italian ."sassefrica," meaning that
which rubs stones and is, as you
can see, silly. The Greeks refer to
the plants as "salpiglossis." In
Europe one frequently sees this
plant growing wild and half-nat-
uralized. They are escapes from a
cultivated garden Of long ago.
Satisfy, better known as the oyster
plant, because of its slight flavor
of the oyster, has secondary i'm
portance as commercially valuable
crop. 1t should be in every gar
den, as it has many possibilities for
varying the Eaenu.
Many Victory gardeners are plant
ing at least row OF it for future
use. AS a hardy vegetable it may
be left out all winter and it Is a
biennial. The second spring there
Is a strong stalk 2 to 3 feet long

may guess that they don't like
bombs or scs-ack. For years end
years they have been in the habit
of coming back to the same roof
tops to raise their young. To find
those roofs crumbling must be a
great shock.
The white stork has the custom
of landing on roofs in Holland and
Germany. For hundreds OF years 1t
has been common in those countries.
People have come to believe that
II means good fortune for a pair
of birds to choose the roof OF their
home as a nesting place. Many
families hare set up special plat
forms to help the storks.
The full-grown white stork is
about ga feet long from beak to
tail. 1t has wings which are partly
black and the beak and legs are
red. Otherwise it is white bird.
Near the end OF winter or early
In spring white storks reach Western
and Northern Europe. Finding their
own nest from the year before, il
possible, a pair of. storks will add
a few sticks and reeds. When addi-
tions have been made to nest
for 10 or II years it becomes very
large. having thickness of perhaps
feet.
From three to five white eggs are
laid in each nest In the course OF
time the baby storks break through
their shells and start making their
parents busy bringing them some
thing to eat.
Storks eat frogs. lizards. snakes,
mice and fish. They seem to be
very fond of cells. Canals and
marshes supply most of the small
animals on which they feed.
Some persons have said that they
have slept standing APP at certain
times. Perhaps this does happen
now and then, but in the stork world
it Is a common thing. The stork
sleeps while standing on only one
leg! The other leg is drawn up to
the breast and kept there while the
slumbering takes place.
White storks have no song, but
they make a Gathering noise with
their beaks. Sometimes they gather
in a group, with much Gathering.
and it seems as If public meeting
were being held. Perhaps they are
saying, about now, IF this bombing
doesn't stop We won't come back

Nothing. She has her pride as
