It is half vegetable, half fruit, with almost a "fowl" name. In spite of these handicaps, the eggplant is steadily gaining popularity. It is a real staple in the southern states where most of it is grown and there it is sometimes served even for break- fast. Eggplant may be fried, stuffed and baked, scalloped or combined with other vegetables. Wlien purchasing eggplant, remem- ber that it should be firm, smooth, uniform in shape, not excessively large and a glossy purple without brown or black streaks. Large, rough corky places on the surface not only cause waste, but indicate a poor qual- ity. Medium sized eggplants are best —large ones are usually seedy.

When winter arrives it will be too late; the chance to have pots of beautiful flow- ering bulbs during the winter months and beds of brilliant tulips, daffodils and other lovely flowers in the spring will have been lost. Bulbs of fra- grant hyacinths, for instance, if they are planted early in October should be 'ready to bloom by New Year's Day. For house bulbs, the hyacinth and daffodil are perhaps easiest to handle, but tulips and crocuses may be grown with success if a little more attention is given to the matter of temperature, The soil for bulb culture need not be rich, but should contain a consid- erable proportion of vegetable matter and sufficient sand to allow easy drainage, Ordinary garden soil may be used if ,nixed with a proportion of hal-mould ' and coarse sand, f ya- cinths give good results with one'.laulb to a five-foot pot, but more pleasing effects may be secured by using lar- ger pots that will accommodate from three to five bulbs. For bulbs of any kind, six-inch pans about five inches deep are more satisfactory and con- venient to handle than the deeper pots, and, with regard to planting, the following is the practice found by experience of the various Horticul- tural Societies to be most useful:— Mix and sift the soil, place a piece of broken pot or a layer of gravel in the bottom of the pot to provide drainage, fill the pot two-thirds fulls of loose earth, press the bulb into:po- sition, base down, cover the bulgy fn a depth exposing the tip, and press the soil around firmly. A half-inch space at the top of the pot should be allowed for watering. Do not crowd the bulbs in pots, nor set them too far apart. For crocuses a shallower pan is perhaps the best receptacle, placing the bulbs no wider than an inch apart in the soil. Soak the soil thoroughly before setting away in a dark cool place. For tulips, narcissi, hyacinths and crocusses the pots should be stored from ten to twelve weeks, say, in the basement where the temperature may. be kept down to about 45 degrees or lower after the cold weather sets in. Paper white narcissi do not require to be placed in a cold dark place as the other bulbs do. Leave them in the cool for eight or ten days, when they may be brought to a window in the living room to develop their tops and bloom, which they will do with- in a few weeks, With regard to. the other bulbs, the pot or pan is ready to bring out for forcing when the white roots appear through the hole in the bottom, and when the tipper growth has advanc- ed an inch or so above the soil. The bulbs should be brought out first in a moderate light and cool tempera- ture for a week then gradually intro- duced to warmer conditions and to stronger light for ' the full 'develop- ment of the bloom, When the flow• ers appear, the plants should be re- moved from the direct 'rays of the sun, and it is well to remove theta to a cool room at night, YOUR LIVER'S MAKING YOU FELL OUT OF SORTS Wake up your Liver Bile —No Calomel needed When you feet blue, depressed sour on the world, that'd your liber which isn't pouring fte daily two pounds of liquid bile into your bowel& up Digestion ae and f�ct are ugeino you feree and you slug wretched. tmines pater, laxutivo candy or dhetviNt &leo ar roughage, deer', go far enough.
