If plenty of south window space Is available, the United States Department of Agriculture advises that such crops as snap beans, cucumbers, amt even sweet com tpay be started In flower pots, paper bands or berry boxes filled with good soil, and they will be of considerable size by the time the air Is warm enough to plant them outdoors. Plants that grow in the house or In the hotbed must be hardened or adapted to outdoor conditions before they are set In the This Is accomplished open ground. by gradually exposing them to the open air during the warmer part of the day and later at night, care being taken that they are not caught by a sudden cold snap. Hardening Early Plants. When the plants are grown In boxes or trays, the boxes may be carried Into the open each day and the plants allowed to become gradually accustomed to the outdoor conditions. If they are In a hotbed or eotdfranie, the sash or other cover Is lifted oft during the day and replaced at night. Later the covering Is left off entirely; however, It should be kept close at hand to he put on at any time that the weather should turn cold. Plants set In the open ground may be protected from frost by turning small boxes over them and covering tle boxes with a little earth. Old berry boxes are Rometimes used for this purpose, but should be covered completely with soil, as the plants will freeze just as readily underneath the exposed boxes as If left In the open without any cover whatever. A good method of protecting plants ts by setting a common rooting shingle or a small piece of hoard at an angle over eiv h plant. These shingles can he set on the side to protect the plants from the sun during the daytime, or they may he placed on the opposite side In order to protect the plants from the wind and allow the sunshine to reach them. In some oases gardeners have provided small frames, on the top of whlcfc are fitted single panes of glass, and one of these frames Is set over each plant or hill to protect It. The ghi--- s should he so arrnngcd that It cm he partially removed during the warmer part of the day In order to prevent the temperature becoming too high Inside the frame. These protectors give good, results when used over hills of cucumbers, niuskmelons and summer squashes, ns well as over plants of sweet pepper, eggplant and tomatoes. Points to Remember. There are a few points in connection with the transplanting of house-growplants to the garden that are worthy of special attention. In the first place, the plants to be transplanted should he watered a few hours before they ' are to be bandied ; this will can sc the wide-awak- musk-melon- s, dirt to adhere to the roots and give them a belter start when they are planted out. If the plants are grown in flower pots, In paper bunds, or berry boxes, they should be carried to n the garden In their containers. plunts should be loosened by Inverting them gently and knocking the edge of the pot on something solid. The plants then are set with the ball of earth adhering to their roots. If the plants have been grown in paper bands or berry boxes, the sides of the bands or boxes should be slit with a knife and removed as the plants are set. Where the plants are grown in trnys or in a hotbed, a knife should he run between the rows, cutting the earth In both directions, and each plant lifted with a cube of earth attached to Its roots. Use Fresh Furrows. The holes or furrows In which the plants are set should not be made until ready to transplant the plants. If made too soon, the soil will dry out and cause the plants to wilt. Under all circumstances. It pays to apply a little water around the roots of each plant as It' is set; this causes the soil to form a close contact with the roots of the plant. After the water has soaked Into the soil, dry earth should be filled In around the plant and Plants set In this slightly firmed. manner will invariably start without wilting. It Is always a good Ides to have s few more plants than are required for filling the space In the garden. In order to replace any that die or are destroyed by Inserts.'

Teachers have reported that the effort with the boys nnd girls has been more, than repaid h the knowledge of Nature gained by the pupils. Both (he bureau of education, through the schools, and the United States Department of Agriculture, through the hoys and girls' clubs, are giving official help to the junior garden movement. SUNFLOWERS AND SHRU3BERY Sunflowers have not received the attention they deserve. The d sorts, as well as the dwarf varieties, are useful when skillfully employed In mixed plantations with other herbaceous annuals. The golden yellow disks are like sunbursts among the shrubbery. The tall hahit and dense foliage of some varieties make them sul. able for backgrounds and screens.

Any cow to produce her greatest possible quantity of milk must be well housed. Animals, in common with humans, must eut to keep up the body heat In winter. If the euw is cold, a larger part of her food goes to supply heat than when she is warm ; she must liuve fresh air, but must not be In a draft; shemust have plenty of water that is not Ice cold. And greatest of all, she must he housed in a building where she will be undisturbed and comfortable, for a cow Is a nervous animal, easily excited, and when excited does not give the maximum quantity of milk. Successful dairymen know these facts and bulhl the stables nnd barns that shelter the annual with them In mind. Planning a dairy stable has been brought to a pretty exact science, farm building architects having made a close study of the, requirements that go to make such a building a profit-aid- e Investment. It Is customary, especially on farms where not a great number of dairy cows are kept, to build the dairy stable under tlie barn, or In the first floor. However, where a large number of cows are maintained, special stnldes, such as Is shown in the accompanying lllusfrstlou, are used. Tills especially designed dairy stable is planned for a herd of 50 cows. The building Is equipped with a ventilation system that keeps the c1- - fresh, the walls of the building dry and takes out the foul air that the animals exhale. This building Is of frame construction, set on a concrete foundation and has a concrete floor. Tue floor plan shows that the two rows of Rtnlls are arranged so that the cows face a feeding alley through the center of the building. The two rows are each divided Into two sections for convenience in doing the work. Thus there are two wet ions of stalls that onre for 13 cows each and two sections for 12 cows each. The building is 30 feet wide and 100 feet long. The stalls, divided by steel stall partitions, face a concrete manger mat Ims no dividing partitions, so that :t mnv be flushed out with a hose when 'esired. At each stall head there is an idlvldual drinking cup, where there ways Is fresli water for the cow. j the sides of he building are fresh . one-stor- as the Roman numeration.
