WELL CULTWATED, "At The soil should be cultivated, how- ever, until the plants are large.enough to fill the rows and have begun to set tubers. Since the tubers are frequent- ly close to the soil surface further cultivation might injure them to a considerable extent. COVER UP EX!O SEDy„OTATOES y., Ufa and frequent cultivation is most im- portant during the early stages of po- tato growth. This is necessary to maintain continuous healthy plant growth. As the potato plants develop and be- come bushy with foliage, cultivation should be shallow. Deep cultivation Lat this time might injure the roots. As the plants mature soil should be hoed up 'around them to help hold them upright and to protect the tubers from the sun. Any tubers exposed above ground, as illustrated in the Garden-Graph ,should be -covered over with soil immediately; since exposure to sunlight turns them green and renders them unfit for eating purposes.

When a recipe calls for nuts and you can obtain some peanuts, iub off the hulls and excess salt with a damp cloth and use a small quantity. If recipe call for 1 cup of nuts, you may use one half cup chopped peanuts and use one extra tablespoon of flour, 2. If cooking utensils are soaked im- mediately after the food has been re- moved, they may be easily cleaned. Cold water is bek for eggs, milk or doughy substances. Hot water acts more quickly on greasy foods, * * * * The Question Box: Mrs.' T. E. asks: Do you get the best nutritive value by cooking spinach and adding it to the cream sauce for soup ,or using raw spinach? Answer: Since spinach cooks very quickly and because more flavOur is obtained by using minced raw spin- ach; cook in milk for three minutes and thicken in double boiler for .15 minutes. This will give the best nu- tritive value, but do' hestitate to use left-over spinach vegetable in a cream sauce for soup. Mrs. M. P. asks: Recipe for white- cake using small amount of sugar.

Boyle Along about this time of year I get an urge to play hookey from work, The main rush of seeding is over now and although there's plenty of work to be done, I remember my father who used to always say that a man should have a holiday after the grain seeding. I suspect that be made that up as an excuse for a day's fishing. I •poked around all morning; fixing, up the fence around the east pasture and putting screens on the milk-houSe. For some reason or other I couldn't get my heart in the work at all. It was'a warm, pleasant .day. In fact the sun was really hot and it made von feel glad that the trees had their full share of leaves. Mrs, Phil was busy with a cucumber bed in the garden, working the manure into the rich soil. The old Cat was doing her best to dis- tract a Mother Robin so as to get at, a nest of four young ones and Collie was looking over the grounct-hog holes on the side of the Big Hill . . . map- ping out a season's warfare no doubt, I threw a pail of water out on the ground behind, tile milk-house and sure enough a bunch of big fat wormg came to the top, I really didq't have any_ use, for them but the worms., found their way into an old, salmon can. I put some dirt on them and set them up on the cool side of the milk-house. When dinner was over I decided just sudden-like . : to go back and look at the fence along the river. I was 'really, concerned about the young cattle breaking through at some spot or other and then wandering down along the side of the stream and end- ing up in the pound. Without giving it much thought I pkked up some fish- hooks and an old line from the whelf in the wood-shed and then took the sahrion can along with me. I might just happen' to fish for a few pinutes..; It was certainly a wonderful day, for a stroll back the laneway. c.) All the trees were out in .foliage and a wild cherry tree had a full load, of pink bloSsOms. Collie seemed to bounce with joy as be tore through the fresh young grass, When we got to the bush, it seemed to have a clean smell,. It wasn't •, the stagnant, rotten wood. smell of mid-summer . . but instead, of that the place seemed clean and_ moist. In fact I had trouble keeping myself from 'just lying down and hav- ing a good nap., The river fence was in good shape so I strolled along to the deep hole. it was quite easy to find a long, Stip- ple gad and that made a fishing pole. In a fe* minutes I was propped up., against a fallen log, enjoying the- weather in a drowsy sort of way with an occasional nibble. A voice made- me come to with a start and their was my neighbor, Ed. Higgins. He looked. a little sheepish and then produced a. line, a hook and some -worms. ' Joe Clark came along later on and' Bert Weir waded across from the other side at' a shallow spot. There were six of us there before four o'clock, We didn't catch any fish to, amount, to anything but we certainly had a grand time. When I came home,. reporting on how good the river fenc'e looked,. 111rs, Phil just smiled and said,. "How was the fishing?" It seems to, me women know everything without being told.
