rhubarb beds and plant sets of extra early pearl onions for use next
March. Put some parsley plants in a box and place it in a light cellar
or in a shed.

Put some frozen rhubarb roots in a barrel of earth in the cellar where
they will produce "pie-plant," for winter use. Dig chickory for salad
and store in sand in a dry cellar. Blanch endive by tying lightly at the
tips.

Pull up cabbages, leaving roots on, and stand upside down on shelf in
cellar. Pick cranberries this month. Then cover the bog with a foot of
water to drown bugs and to protect from frost. Rake up the fallen leaves
and use as a mulch for flowers and shrubs. Hardwood leaves like oak and
chestnut contain more plant food than those from soft wooded
trees.--_Garden and Farm Almanac. Doubleday, Page and Company._

Every Morning

A Little Crystal of Thought for Every Day in the Week

SATURDAY.
