1 THE BACKYARD GARDEN
(BY PROF. SPADE.)
No garden is complete without peas
and string beans. The only difference'
in the two, botanically, is that peas
are hardier and a cool season crop,
while war mar weather is required by
the more tender bean. Atmospheric
nitrogen goes into making of both,
and if any amount is to be grown, it
is advisable to use a fertilizer contain
ing this quality.
Garden peas are easy to grow. They
do best in spring rather than in the
hotter months and also thrive in fall
from late seeds. Even before freezing
weather is past peas may be sown.
They should be planted from 3 to 5
inches deep. The pea is one thing that
will thrive best in a soil that is not
too rich. A strong soil tends to make
plants run to vines and delay the crop.
Sowings may be made at intervals of
6 to 10 days throughout the growing
season, to obtain a continuous crop.
For the early crop the dwarf varie
ties are ideal. In handling the taller
and later kinds, the grower will do
well to practice pinching in the exces
sive growths. This assures a larger
and quicker yield. *
Two or three cultivations during
the growing season are usually suf
ficient for peas. They can be sown from
6 to 8 inches apart in rows. The plants
should be from 3 to 4 inches apart in
the row's. If the dwarf varieties are
.grown, each plant will tend to sup
port the other. But if the taller kinds
are attempted, chicken wire between
rows will prove an excellent support.
The bush bean and the pole bean are
the common varieties, although the
former, requiring less labor, is the
more popular. As a garden crop, bush
beans are used mostly as “string”
beans, the pod being plucked when
tw'o-thirds grown and both pod and
beans eaten.
Plant only when the weather has
become settled. A late summer plant
ing may follow- the earlier one and
provide beans until late in the year
The bush beans are sown in drills,
rows being'rarely less than 18 nches
apart. The plants should stand from
5 to 10 inches apart in the row.

ANCIENT GHENT
LIKE GOTHAM
WASHINGTON. D. C., March 29.
“Ghent has shown a remarkable de
gree of what he world calls ‘American
spirit.’ Time and again it as begun
afresh with irresistible enthusiasm
!he struggle for success. War, pillage,
the despot’s insatiate demands and
im|m rial laws 1 c.'.Cie to Ghentian wt.-
fare many times have caused the city’s
prosperity to begin to decline at the
very moment of the proud flood-tide of
fortune; at no time, however, have the
Ghentians lost heart, but after each
disaster they have renewed their effort
in away defying hardship, and have
always succeeded in re-establishing
their city among the world’s chosen
sites for enterprise and wealth.” Thus
begins a statement issued by the Na
tional Geographic Society today con
cerning the city of Ghent. It then con
tinues:
“While capitals have waxed and
waned again, while art centers have
blossomed Into world-esteem and been
forgotten, while resplendent places of
society resort have risen and fallen,
Ghent, sober, tentacious, business
Ghent, has maintained a highly respect
ed place in the world durng more than
900 years. Innumerable war-storms
*ave swept over the low countries,
have broken the spirit and blighted
the hopes of many promising cities
there for all times, but the present
war found Ghent busily building its
way toward another world renown. It
found a city of more than 200,000 in
habitants, doing an immense oversea
commerce by means of its canal, re
awakening its wonderful textile in
dustry, and entering into the spirit of
the modern struggle for Industrial su
premacy % developing great iron
foundries and machine shops.
During the Middle Ages, Ghent was
one of the wealthiest and most inde
pendent cities in Europe. Its burgh
ers met and defeated the might of
England under Edward I. Here the
clever demagogue, Jacques con Arte
velde, the celebrated ‘Brewer of
Ghent,’ became tyrant of the city and
negotiated with emperors and kings
on almost equal terms. Edward 111.
of England addressed him by the ti
tle of ‘Dear Gossip.’ The emperor
Charles V. was born in Ghent, and
his soldiers all but ruined it during
the religious troubles of the low
lands. A story is told concerning this
emperor which gives some idea ot vne
New York-like riches which 16th cen
tury Ghent possesses. Charles, sad
ly in need of gold, one day borrowed
two million florins from a wealthy, un
titled citizen of Ghent. To show his
gratitude, the emperor dined with his
creditor the same day, and, at table,
the flattered merchant, who had pre
pared His Highness such a meal as
few kings could afford l , tore the mon
arch’s promissory note into strips and
passed the pieces to him on a plate
with the d elaration:
“ ’Sire, two million florins is a tri
fle to pay for the hoior that Your Im
perial Highness has done me today’. ’

HELPING 01 T THE
FIREPLACE
The modern borile is usually de
signed with a fireplace in view,
whether or not it be built during the
construction of the house but a great
majority of people omit that simple
little device which means so much in
the way of saving work and temper—
an ash dump. Its cost is not at all
in proportion to the wonderful service
it renders.
A box seat built near the fireplace
to hold wood will save many steps. If
desired, an opening may be cut in
the floor under the seat, through
which one can reach to a shelf in the
cellar on which wood is placed. In
this case, there must of necessity be
a sliding door over the opening, or
a strong draft will be thie result. Un
less the furnace is some distance from
the opening, this particular item is
not advisable, as it will be dfficult to
avoid dust from the furnace. T
While we are on thie subject of box
seats, it is worth while suggesting
that one can be placed on the back
porch for overshoes, and another on
the living porch to hold pillows, mag
azines, etc., when it rains. If closets
are not plentiful, the value of a box
seat is trebled, and a dress trap built
in a box seat which is placed for
a bay window is much better than a
: dresser drawer for skirts and dresses
that should not be hung up or folded.
Box seats, however, should be worked
in with caution, and should never be
placed w'here they will mar the wall
for decorative treatment.
If the -living-room is to serve also
as a reading room, build in bookcases
or broad open shelves. To have them
somewhere near the fireplce will
create a cheerful atmosphere. Draw
ers should be built at the base as a
provision for magazines.
