Growing Radishes and Pens. -
In no other way can you shpw your
skill as a gardener so well as in the
growing` of -perfect, crisp radishes in
the minimum number ,of days. There
are many props which require to be
"hustled," but none of them requires,
More . hustle than the raidsh.
The composition of the radish .is
mostly water -pa more water you
get into it, and the less cellulose
(which is the vegetable fibre residue)
the better and more crisp it will be,
and to accomplish this requires, that
they be kept growing cbristantly from
the time the seeds are planted until
they are ready to pick. '
On the other hand, eriij' radishes
cannot be grown hi a heavy soil, nor
one which is not ]sept to the proper de-
gree of moisture. They require what
we call a "cool": soil. It 'should be
rich to ;repletion, and composed very
largely of decomposed' vegetable onat-
ter. Experiments have shown that
good radielies can. be grown in cont
ashes, as a base, with'plenty of good
well rotted manure, and the addition
of commercial fertilizers.
But it is better to grow then) in a
light, mellow, rich soil. No, green or
.unfermented manure ehodld be .used.
Arrange for one pound of muriate of
potash for n plot ten feet. square, fog
use when the young plants show
through thee -ground. This should be
dissolved in water inefficient to give
the soil along the drills a good soak.
How to Plant Radish
Summer radishes naturally fall into
two classes; the turnip shaped, and
the slender. ' Id the former class we
have two .divisions, the small "olive"
or "Button" radishes, which are the
very earliest, and the true turnip-
shaped which,come later on in the
season. The slender or, as ,they are
sometimes' called, "finger" radishes
also some in early, and late.
Radish seeds are planted in' two
general ways. • One` is broadcast,
which ip a very, wastefdl and ineffici-
ent way, and the other in drills. i
Radish- seeds are not too small to
plant theme single. With a little care
this can be done, and an occasional
one dropped "in error,. can be pulled
out when they show through the
ground. Make the drills by pulling
the dibble- along the straight -edge,
lightly, so as- to make a drill not
more than half an inch deep, just a
trifle, less will be beater. Make the
drills afoot apart for easy working,
although if .you make' them in a
double row to be worked by hand, six
inches will do for the early ones.
Soil for Garden Peas
Then let us have a goodly row of
garden peas; the dwarf ones for first
early, the 'half dwarf' for second and
the tall ones for "lain crop. These -
with succession planting will give peas
to eat from the .time the first ones
are ready to pick in sixty to sixt'y-
five days' until the heat of midsum- •
mer- makes their growth impractic-
able.
To 'get the fine results we desire
with garden peas they must have a
inellow,lbameg soil, well filled with
]litmus encl.-enriched with gvellarot-
ted manure dug in the trench, and the
situation "lust he one which will
draft\t well, so 13o -retie 'of any kind
known to our gainiens will do well in
soggy or swampy soil,1 even though
they, require a large supply of water.
As one gardener put it, "They will
not stand wet feet,"
Of the early peas we have two
classes --•the round -seeded and the
wrinkled. 'The former are from three
days to a week earlier than the lat-
ter, and are more hardy. However,
most Iiersons consider the wrinkled
ones "so 'much finer ie flavor, that they
are willing to await the few days
necespary to get them. The wrin-
kled peas (those which have a wrin-
kled seed) are sweeter, have more
sugar in their composition and rot
more 'easily than the hard -seeded
round ones, on which account the lot-
ter may be -planted first,
Plant in Prepared Drills
I would advise the beginner to await
until the soil is weil drained, mellow
and easily worked; and then plant the
wrinkled peas for first early unless
hie space is large and he desires to
try both kinds.
Garden peas should . be planted in
prepared drills. As the early peas
are either dwarf or half dwarf, there
will be no need for supports to hold
them, • A good plan is to plant -them
three drills together, *allowing the
vines to mat together. This will .pre-
vent the stalks of the dwarf ones fall-
ing dowp, which, especially in wet
weather, may cause many of the pods
to roti
The early peas, not having the large
mass of roots that the later ones have,
may he planted closer together: If
you set ,three rows together make
them six inches apart and the seeds
two inches apart in the row. The.
half -dwarf, which may. reach a height
ofthirty inches, may be planted in a
double row, the same distance apart,
and the vines matted' together as Boon
as they throw out tentacles. This'
will obviate the necessity for sup-
ports.
The aim should be in growing peas
to get them all cleared off the vines in
not more than two pickings. Most
of the seed'offered for sale to -day is
of strains which have developed this
quality under selection. This makes
the space occupied by.'the early peas
available for tile"use••of later -crops.
Support the Vines
Garden peas•should have frequent
cultivation and be kept free from
weeds. • The late ones will do best if
mulched when the days get warm, in
order to keep the roots cool. Any
strawy litter will' do for• the mulching.
Put it on and between the rows and
water freely. It will also keep down
the weeds.
There are a number ' of materials
used for cupportjng pea vines. The
original one was "brush,' the twiggy
branches of young trees. This till 1
by far the best. The use of
run from poles and brackets; is a'
rather poor way to support the`vines.
When (brush is used the rows can-
not be so close together as when net-
ting is used. With brush •a, good
way is to plant the rows eighteen
inches -apart and setthe brush be-
t -ween them, Making a double how.
The next row eiiould be set three feet
from the first, and another double row
formed, and continue thus. ,

Diseases and Hygiene of The Mouth.
This subject includes many impor-
tant diseases, particularly such as
are common in children, and notably
diphtheria, influenza, tonsilitis, ade-
nc.ids and all varieties of sore throat,
also diseases of the tongue, teeth,
lips, gums, tonsils and salivary
glands.
Mouth diseases of adults 'ere less
numerous than those of children but
are often of grave significance.
Cancer of the lip, tongue or ton-
sil, is not infrequent; sores of., ;the
mucous ntembrance are the common
characteristic of syphilis; suppura-
tion, bleeding gums and loosened
teeth, are the, marks of Riggs' dis-
ease; and many victims of auto -in-
toxicetion have abscesses of the roots
of their teeth upon which great stress
haa been laid in recent times.
Repulsive odor of the breath is
familiar enough evidence of diseased
teeth and gums,- of decomposing food
in the mouth or of imperfectmnae-
ttcation and disordered digestion.
Some of- these diseases originate in
the mouth, and others are symptom-
atic of disease elsewhere in the body.
Cancer of the lip, tongue, or ton-
sil originates there, but fever blisters
on the tongue or lips may he one
of the accompaniments of indigestion
or grippe or scoria or typhoid fever.
If we know the cause of a disease,,
we may be able to treat it success-
fully, or, better still, prevent it. Be-
cause we do not with certainty know
the cause of cancer, 10 one reason
wily we do not treat it mor, suc-
cessfully. ,
Bad hygiene of the home,, poor nu-
trition, neglect of the teeth, indiges-
tion and many other .causes will re=
stilt in decay of the teeth and dis-
eases of the gums and other tissues
of the mouth.
There are many bacteria in the
I mouth, some are harmful, others are
not, In the presence of decayed
teeth' and decomposed and, feririent-
ing food, they are always waiting lo
junzp in and -produce clisense.
The watery secretion and mucus
in the nest and throat furnish splen-
did .media for their multiplication
and it is by this means that grippe,
tonsilitis, laryngitis, diphtheria,
pneumonia and many/ other 'diseases
are caused, the bacteria extending as
they multiply and finally producing
the disease peculiar to the dominant
variety.
The hygiene of the mouth' from in-
fancy to old age'is a matter of the
greatest importance. The baby's
mouth must be kept clean and sweet
with a soft rag and boric acid solu-
tion, from the day of his birth.
Children should be taught the use
of the tooth -brush and the• mouth-
wash as some as the teeth appear.
• Simple powdered chalk as a denti-
frice, .and boricacid solution as a
mouth -wash; sere all that is needed
and they are inexpensive. •
Adults • • should not only use the
tooth -brush, but an antiseptic paste
or powder and an antiseptic solution
for rinsing and gargling.
This will mean better teeth, bet-
ter health and an absence of offen-
sive breath. _^

There are evidently' Iwo methods by
Which colds are developed.' l+irst, the
bacteria which produce colds are to be
found in the ((nasal, passages a: all
times, existing there in un inactive
state, without producing toxins. Whop,
ever the local Or general body resist-
ance ds lowered, these germs iminedi-
ately'begin to multiply. The mucous
membrane .of the nose becomes in-
flamed and the toxins which are pro-
duced are absorbed into the circula-
tion, Second, virulent, active bactcriti
are conveyed from.,pne who is suffer-
ing from an active cold.
,Local diseased conditions of .the
pasal passages, such. as. old catarrhal
inflammations, hypertrophied turbin-
ates, - deflected septums, diseased
adenoids, tonsil and sinuses make for
colds. A general :weakened state,
particularly that produced by an ac-
cumulation of poisons in the blood,
which may be dlte to excessive pro -
(Motion of toxins by overwork,' pro-
ducing fatigue, or by absorption of
poisons through the bowots due to con-
stipation, or the • accumulation of
poisons in the blood .due to peer eli-
mination of the skin and kidneys, also
predispose one to contract colds.,
We should also mention certain ex-
posures as wet feet or clothing, chill-
ing drafts of air striking the back,'
which reflexly produces irritation in
the nose ..producing congestion that
lowers the resistance of..those parts
tb the growing bacteria; Iocal irrita-
tions,.such as dust and noxious gases,
which render the mucous membrane
susceptible; the dry hot air of our
closed houses.
Under normal' conditions the mucous
membrane of the respiratory tract of-
fers .sufficient resistance to an inva-
sion of the germs and the resisting
properties to prevent any activity of
those germs present,.
One may be able to keep dbwii any
development of the germs always
found in his z'espiratory passages, but
bo unable to resist the active strain
introduced from .one suffering from a
cold, -
Thus it is' evident that every one
that has a cold is a focus of infection
and should keep away from others as
much as possible.
Germs are carried from one patient
to another through the air for short
distances only. They are transferred
by sneezing, coughing, use of public
drinking cups, public towels and kiss-
ing. .
Any persons suffering from a cold,
should be avoided and he should re-
main away from all public gatherings
and places where people are congre-
gated. Ile should avoid sneezing
without protecting the face with a
handkerchief •_
Remember that the germs, cannot
develop when your resistance is high.
Therefore, keep it high by the follow=
ing rules: Sleep in cold, fresh air. Take
morning cold baths. Exercise in the
open every day., The best .way to
resist the cold of w -inter is to stay out
in it. Keep air in rooms moist, Eat
regularly of nourishing diet. Drink
freely of water and keep the bowels
freely open. Keep the extremities
warm and dry. Avoid over'clothing
when in the house. Avoid overheat-
ing or chilling the body as a whole or
any part. Keep the mouth and nasal
passages clearly Avoid contracting
cold from others by keeping away
from• those who are infected. Be-
ware of the sneezer, tougher or hand-

Keep Chickens.
`•Keep chickens" is a slogan that
ehoulcl appeal to nearly eve(y house-
holder in Canada, The scraps :from the
liable of all average household will
provide most of the food necessary
to keep half a dozen hens in :flotnish-
ing condition, and these, if properly
housed and cared for, will reciprocate 1
with a surprisingly large number' of
nice 310511 eggs for the family table.
1!ifteen,dozen eggs per hen per year
is by no means an impossible produc-
tion.
,Nearly every back yard is big en-
ough to accommodate half it dozen
hens, and they are most cheerful and

Care of the Feet,
Every 'farmer should understand)
the important relation 'existing be-
tween the feet of his horses and their
value to him as working machines:
He should watch them carefully and
exercise every precaution possible to
keep them in first-class condition.
,✓ A horse's hoof corresponds in a gen-
eral way to the toe -and finger:nafls'"
of human beings. It is made up of a
corneous material that protects the
more sensitive parts of the -foot from
injury. Like the finger nails of some
people, some horses' hoofs have a ten-
dency to dry out an:beceme' hard and 1'•'a,
brittle, thus breaking and cracking,
while others are tough and resistant
to wear. The value of the animal is
largely determined bergthe kind and
character of his feet or hoofs, and no'
two, horses have hoofs exactly alike.
On an average,"a horse's hoof grows
about one-third of an inch a month,
some faster and some slower. The
hind hoofs grow faster than the fore
hoofs, and unshod ones grow faster
than those that are shod. The toe
of the hoof will grow down in from
nine te. twelve months, depending on
its length, the quarter in from six
to eight months, and the heel in from
three to four months. Some hoofs
grow irregular and must be given at-
tention from time to tine. In unshod
horses and colts it is often necessary
to trim off the uneven edges with a
knife and rasp to prevent breaking
and cracking. Colts should always
be- given plenty of exercise on dry
ground so their hoofs will wear off
even. Foul stables will do much to
thin a young horse's feet/.
Horses are shod principally to pro -
'teat their feet from wear and to in-
crease their efficiency . as beasts of
burden. Shoes should be renewed as
often as necessary and they should be
designed to fit the particular needs of
each animal. A good farrier is 'one
who thoroughly understands the
anatomy of the foot and` knows how
best to correct its imperfections..
To multiply dahlias set the tubers
close together in shallow boxes of
sand and keep the boxes in a warm,
light place and the sand moist, Soon
vigorous shoots will appear, Make
cuttings .from these shoots, being
careful to, make the lower cut just
below a joint or with a "heel," as the
florists express it, Insert, the cut-
tings- in sand, which must be kept
moist and: given gentle bottom heat.
The cuttings will root readily and pro-
duce plants for bedding out as 80011 51
the weather is suitable. The plants -
will flower "this season.
