GARDEN FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Quick Growing Is Secret of Tender
Crispness of Salad Plants— Keep
the Soil Moist.
(By L. E. CHAPIN.)
Among less common sorts aspara
gus-beets are very desirable, as the
entire plant may be cooked for greens
when young, or the large ribs and
veins from the older leaves may be
cookbd and served as asparagus.
Brussels sprouts belong to the cab
bage family and the tiny heads that
form on the stalks are more delicate
in flavor than most cabbage.
Kohlrabi seems like a cross between
a cabbage and a turnip, but if cooked
when young and tender has a flavor
like cauliflower.
Fetticus (corn salad) may be sown
and treated the same as spinach and
furnishes one of the very early spring
salads.
Endive is another very fine salad
plant, and the seeds may be sown as
late as August for plants to use dur
ing the fall.-
Dandelions, of the improved, large
leaved sorts are among the finest sal
ad plants, and if cut freely for use
there Is no danger of their becoming
a nuisance.
Celeriac (turnip rooted celery) is
finer for flavoring soups than the
stalk-celery, and may be served in va
rious ways.
Leeks are as easily grown as onions
and being less in flavor are more de
sirable for some purposes.
Winter onions are very desirable
because of the fact that when once
planted they come up year after year
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground, and are ready for use in two
or three weeks.
The Egyptian winter onion, or the
perpetual tree onion are among the
best of type because they are more
hardy than some.
Okra is less well known than it
should be. It is fine for use in soups,
stews and salads.
Most gardens have rhubarb plants,
but it is worth while to start a few
roots of the “ever-ready" sort that fur
nishes fine stalks during the entire
summer and fall, if given water during
very dry periods.
With all these (and other salad
plants), quick growing is the secret of
tender crispness and to secure it, the
soil must be rich, and have plenty of
moisture.
Catalogues and seed packets fur
nish cultural directions and are ex
plicit and easily followed.
TAKING THE HORSE’S PULSE
'/aluable Means of Assistance in As-
T certaining the Nature and Prog-
V > ress o* Disease.
y , _. K
v The pulse is due to an automatic ex-.
pansion and relaxation in thp wall of I
an elastic tube—the artery—caused
by the jets of blood pumped into these i
vessels by means of a force pump—
the heart.
Each stroke of the heart is equal to
one pulsation, viz: a rising and falling '
of the arterial wall.
In health the average number of
pulse beats per minute is about 36 to
40. The larger the horse, the slower
or fewer the number of beats per min
ute.
A very good situation to take the
pulse is at the underside of the jaw.
By rolling the tips of the fingers about
a little they can be brought on to the I
blood vessel.
Don’t press too firmly, nor yet too
lightly. The animal must be kept still
and quiet. In point of importance, the
“character” of the pulse must be the
best guide. That is to say, the blood
vessel may impress us as feeling hard, I
soft, full, quick, small, wiry, regular J
or irregular.
In pulmonary apoplexy it may be'
beating 120 times per minute.
When properly taken it forms a
valuable means of assistance in ascer
taining the nature and progress of
disease.

thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able k-pJ
