PLANT PROTECTION.
Way of Shielding Them From the Hot,
Direot Rays of the Midday 8un.
If plants are not protected from high
winds and too much sun tbey will not
flourish, especially In the early stages
of their growth. This Is particularly
true of the plants in the vegetable gar
den, and fortunately there are many
easy and simple methods of providing
them with shade. Empty soap boxes
raised on blocks, empty fruit baskets
rolls of carpet and matting spread out
on supports to look like awnings may
all be used. Old mattings or carpets
that have seen their best days may en
joy a new lease of life as plant cov
erings. The great thing is to cover
the plants wo that they will be shady.
formation of TitTle runs which iuight
produce washouts.
The soil should be enriched with a
liberal supply of well rotted manure.
This is essential where the soil is lack
ing in humus; otherwise bone meal or
other good fertilizer la useful, and ma
nure often contains the seed of weeds.
The ground should be plowed or spad
ed not less than eight Inches deep, re
moving all the stones and similar ma
terial, and the surface made as smooth
as possible. Then It Is ready for sow
ing.
One of the best mixtures for the
lawn Is four parts Kentucky blue grass
with one part of white clover, sown
not less than five bushels to the acre.
Equally good results are usually ob
tained by the use of redtop In place
of the blue grass or with equal parts
of redtop and blue grass and a little
white clover. When moisture is p.en-
tiful the blue grass forms a softer turr
than the redtop. but does jiot seem to ,
endure drought so well. In shady
places the blue grass mixture is best
Nothing but pure seed should lie sown.
It is well to be liberal with the seed.
not to scatter It too thinly and to re-
seed portions that come up poorly.

the air to circulate It will not be en

on the batbrlms will keep them from

and weather does not destroy them
quickly or winds blow thorn easily
about. I'se peach baskets for the lar
ger plants, plum and gmpe baskets
for smaller plants, or fur two or three
of the very smallest, ami strawberry
baskets for the smallest of all. Even
these will span two seedlings sot near
together.
Choose a cool, shaded corner for let

retreat for the succulent delicacy.
Have a movable screen of reeds or
woven twigs with which to protect the
lettuce bed from the noonday sun.
Take it down at night and do not put
it up on cloudy days. Ity a little care
in this respect you will secure Nwect
salad. As the first supply of plants
ahows a tendency to run to seed, have
a second and a third Installment ready
to take its place. Lettuce that grows
in the sun gets bitter, and when the
bead elongates into ft stem It Is pnst
use.
Itadlsbes also thrive Into Juicy in lid
ness in the Bhnde, although they will
bear mora sunshine than lettuce. If
set so near a brick wall as to feel the
radiated beat as well as the direct rays
of the sun, they will develop too fast
and become pithy and pungent. Here,
too. It Is wise to have a succession of
crops. Manage this by Judicious re
newal of young plants or by sowing
seeds at different times.

Brussels sprouts may le easily
grown In the ordinary home vegetable
garden. The plant is a close relative of
the cabbage and cauliflower, but In
stead of producing a single head forms
a cannier or small ones m me nxus ui
the leaves, and these heads are called
sprouts and are the edible part of the
vegetable. The sprouts average one or
two inches in diameter.
The seed should be sown In the open
ground as early as the weather per
mits. When the plants are three inches
high they should be transplanted or
thinned out into rows twenty-four to
thirty Inches apart and about two feet
apart in the row. The plants must be
well watered after they have been
moved.
As the small sprouts begin to crowd
the leaves should be broken from the
stem to give the small beads more
room. A few leaves should lie left at
the top of the stem where the new
heads are formed.
In warm climates the plan's may be
left In the open ground all winter, the
heads being removed as desired, but
In more northern latitudes plants that
arc well laden with heads are taken up
when frost comes and set close to
gether In a pit or cellar or a "cold
frame" or bed covered with glass.
With a little soil packed aliout their
roots they may In this way be kept all
winter, being used when needed When
