Now Is th? time to plan your winter gardens About the 15th or 20th of July you may carefully select youi winter plat, lime It well, and subsoil about; 12 Inches. Lay off 1-3 of It In rows 2 1-2 feet apart, using plenty of leaf mold and well rotted compost as fertiliser. Plan Irish potatoes on this 1-3 of plat, using the small pota? toes left from the spring crop if you have them. If not, plant the Lookout Mountain potato for autumn use. This crop can be left In the ground and used during the entire winter. There Is always a> ready sale for fresh Irish potatoes In fall and winter. About the middle of August 1-6 of the plat may be planted In rutabaga turnips, 1-6 In the egg turnip, which comes off very early, leaving the same area to be planted In lettuce the first of November. The remaining 1-3 of plat may be planted In the white pearl onion which will be ready for market the first of February, if the sets are plant? ed the first or middle of September. By planting them this early In the fall they bring a fancy price In the mar? ket, coming on so early In the suc? ceeding year. Then, too, the ground will be available In March for plant? ing pimentos or Some other product. Onions require very frequent culti? vation until the bulb Is about 2 inches in diameter, then the soil should be drawn away from the bulb, leaving II exposed above the ground, from which, through thread roots, It de? velops very rapidly. Winter gardens should be planted through July, August and September. To Increase variety of production on the plat the Irish potatoes may be gathered and spread in a house for keeping during the winter, leaving the space they occupy on the plat to be planted In beets the first of November. These yield an abundant harvest for February and March market. They, too, require frequent cultivation. To* Canning Club Girls In the South: These recipes have been prepared for uniform 4-H Brand pickles and ketchup. All measurements-are level and should be carefully made. Abbre? viations used are: tbsp, tablet poonful; tsp, teaspoonful; c, cup. Brine In tvhiuh. vegetables ?Land for t>rl? * tin!.* Is about 45 per cent. (1 c. rait to I aal. water.) If vegetables are to be brined for several months, it I < nec? essary to use a salt per cent, scale (see letter 853) and to ask us for further Instructions. TOMATO KETCHUP. Select red ripe tomatoes. The extra Juice, small and broken fruit which will not do for canning, may be used, If they are sound and red. Any green or yellow? ish parts of fruit will make a ketchup Inferior in flavor and color, and not good for market. Use whole spices tied loosely In a bag while cooking and remove before bottling to prevent darkening the product caused by ground splcea. This does not apply to red pepper, which helps to give a bright rod color. The pulp of sweet Spanish pepper or the ground Hunga? rian paprlca may also be used to give color and flavor. Remove seeds from sweet red pepper, chop and add 1 c. of this pepper and 2 medium size on? ions to 1 gal tomatoes before cooking. Cook the tomatoes thoroughly, put through a colander or serve, saving all pulp, and measure. For every gallon of pulp use the following: 2 tbsp. salt, 4 tbsp. augar. ? 1 tbsp. mustard (powdered), 1 pt. good vinegar, 1 level tbsp. each whole of allspice, cloves, cinnamon and pepper. 2 small red peppers sliced and seed removed. After putting tomatoes through co? lander add ground spices and spice bag. and cook for 11-2 hours, or until nearly thick enough, then add vinegar and cook until thick. Rapid cooking (being careful not to scorch the ketchup) will give a better color than slow^iooking. The finished product should be a tine bright red. Pour the ketchup at once Into hot sterilised bottles. If any quantity Is made for sale, set the hot bottles at once into a vessel of hot water, hav? ing a false bottom In It to prevent krssksgs. put the cork stoppers in loosely and process at boiling point for 30 minutes. Drive the corks in tightly and when cool dip mouth of bottle into melted i parafln, or cover stopper with sealing wax. Hookworm enters through the'skin .'

In a history of the Turks, Chalconey las, a Greek, relates how a fleet of Crusaders sailing toward Constantino? ple In the beginning of the thirteenth century was becalmed at the entrance of the Hellespont. At that time there was at the court of Athena an ambassador of the king of France, who set out In a galley to visit the chiefs of the fleet The admi? ral confided to him that he had been ordered to take Constantinople by sur? prise. The ambassador spoke of the diffi? culties and dangers of this passage, as It was between two banks from which balllstae conld hurl upon the vessels enormous stones, boiling oil and, above all, Greek fire. The admiral revealed to him that the governors of the forts would make, lit? tle resistance, as they had been brib? ed. The ambassador was so pleased that as soon as he had returned to land he had great trouble to hold his tongue. He was heard to prophesy In myste? rious words that the famous passage would soon be forced. An there were spies on all sides the words of the ambassador were soon carried to Constantinople. When tho fleet presented itself in the Hellespont tho catapults of the Turks manifested great activity. The bribed captains of the forts had been removed and others were in their places. The Indiscreet ambassador was recalled to Paris and executed. STORY OF TWO BOYS. Their Methods Were Different, snd 80 Were ths Results. Two boys left home with just money enough to take them through college. They both did well at college, took their diplomas In due time and got from members of the faculty letters to a largo shipbuilding firm with which they desired employment When the first boy was given an audience with' the. head of tho firm ho presented his letters.. "What can you do?" asked the pres? ident "I should like some sort of a clerk? ship." "Well, sir, I will take your name and address, and if we have anything of tho kind I will write to you." The Other boy then presented him? self and his papers. "What can you do?" the president asked him. "Anything that a green hand can do, sir/' was the reply. I The president touched a bell that called a foreman, and the college grad? uate went to sorting scrap Iron. A week passed, and the president, meet? ing tho superintendent asked, "How is the new man getting on?" "Oh," said the superintendent, "he , did his work so well that I put him over the gang.'* ?

Children like candy because of its properties of sugar, a food quickly ab? sorbed by the human system. The pur? pose of all food Is to supply the energy that is wasted by physical exertion. Some foods more than others contain the elements necessary to furnish this supply and vary In the time required to feel their benefits. Sugar Is actual? ly turned into real energy within a few minutes after it is eaten, and candy gives a quick supply of the energy called for by the activities of youth. Thus the constant need of energizing force by children lends them instinc? tively to crave candy.?Exchange. Kedleston Hall. Kedleston Hall is considered to be Robert Adams' masterpiece. Its scale of magnificence may be gauged from she fact that one entire wing is taken up by the kitchen and its offices. The design of the garden front was copied from the arch of Constantine, and the drive through the park to the hall, a mile In length, Is through some of the noblest forest scenery In England*. It Is said that when in 1761 the first Lord Scarsdale resolved on building Kedleston Hall as It now stands he removed the entire village to another spot to make room for his new man? sion.?London Globe.

A St. Louis man tells of a farmer in the Ozarks who for years had suf? fered through the activities of a hog thief named 13111 Mullins. Bill was known to be a thief, but he was so much of a comedian that nobody cared to prosecute him. The farmer was one day standing by the side of his pen surveying a par? ticularly fine looking lot of hogs, when along came Bill Mullins. Bill's eyes glistened as he regarded the hogs. "Them is fine hogs," said the farm? er, noticing Bill's expression. "I never seen better," said Bill. "I'll tell you what I'll do," said the farmer; "if you'll pick any two, you can have 'em, providin* you'll let the rest alone." "All right," said Bill. "You've been a good neighbor, and I'll agree, but I'll shore lose meat."?St. Louis Post Dispatch. SURGICAL SUBSTITUTES. "Lignin" and Chemical Wood Pulp Used for Absorbent Cotton. New York Evening Journal. Several more or less successful cheap substitutes for absorbent cotton have been introduced since the Euro? pean war began. One of these, now on sale in Berlin, is known as "lignin," and is made of pine cellulose. It is said to absorb blood better than cot? ton, but can not compete with the latter as a dressing for wounds. It is, however, pronounced satisfactory for use as a second dressing. A cellulose wadding, made by a se? cret process from chemical wood pulp, is now offered as a dressing for wounds in Sweden. It is in very thin sheets, resembling tissue paper. The use of sterilized sphagnum moss for the same purpose appears to have been brought about by the exigencies arising from the war. Cockroaches may carry disease? 1 How Much Is $100,000,000? The railroads claim that to reduce the Xvorking day of their trainmen to eighjt hours would mean a loss of $100,000,000. It is not all an established fact that a reduction of working hours would not.be real economy on account of in? creased efficiency. , But the figures, $100,000,000, are strangely simgesiive.
