Yearly repgir expenses of less than one dollar are not unusual. _ The car is light in weight, and tires give more mileage on a Ford than on any other car. You can buy a Ford for yourself and one for your wife for the price of one car at C. SMITH & SONS, Local Dealers, DURHAM Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd., Ford, Ont. HE average man can easily afford a Ford car. It is the most inexpensive car to drive. Over 700 Ford Service Stations in Canada $1000. _ You can run both Fords at about the same expense as for one larger, heavier car. Go and take a ride in the 1917 model. See how comfortable it is. And stylish, too â€"stream line effect, tapered hood, crown fenders, beautiful finish. You need one for business. Your wife and children need one for pleasure and health. You can always sell a "used" Ford at a good price. You have to accept a big reduction for a "used" larger car. The 218th held an enthusiastic reâ€" cruiting meeting at Ayton on Weduesâ€" day.

THE DUORHAM REVIEW |__ CABBAGE. Cabbage is one of the "nost widely grown vegetables. The caboage plant requires a supply |of moisture, and yet if the cabâ€" bage soil is too wet the plant will be injured. Cabbage does particuâ€" larly well on new land, and some growers claim that the cabbage grows without an abundart supply of ; manure in the soil better than many ‘\other vegetables. It is considered la good practice for backyard gardenâ€" iers to purchase plants which have ‘been grown in hotâ€"beds or hotâ€"houses |and transplant them directly into: the ‘permanent bed. This saves considâ€" erable trouble. It is necessary when |setting cabbage plants to set them fairly deep so that they will not be whipped about by the wind. They may be set eighteen inches apart, and there should be quite a good deal of soil around the roots. When they |are ready to be set out a hole may be made with a dibber or a sharpenâ€" ed stick. The roots may be watered after they have been set. One of the ’most important features of growing .cabbage consists in the attention | given to cultivation of the soil. There may be some occasions when the head will split, this may be stopped or | prevented if the bhead is taken in 'f.he bhands ard turned forcibly from | one side to another. | _ CAULIFLOWER. The caulifiower ‘is treated in much the same way as | cabbage, the plants being grown and | set out in the same manner outside. They are treated practically the same [ as cabbage until it is noticed that a | little white flower has commenced to | grow. _ The.dry leaves of the plant | should be brought together at the | top and tied with a piece of string so | that these little white flowers are proâ€" | tected from the rays of the sun and | the rain. _ All cauliflower heads / should be treated in this manner | when they are about two inches in | d‘ameter. BRUSSELS SPROUTSs. Brussels sprouts are perhaps the most bhardy ~f the cabbage family. If it is imâ€" possible to secure brussels sprouts plants a few seeds may be planted about May 15 £t a depth of about one inch. Thesé should be transplanted to the perimanont bed about the 15th of June. They should be set eighteen inches in the row and two feet beâ€" tween the rows. It is well to keep the patch clean, and the surface soil should be stirred frequently. It is unnecessary to trim off the leaves as tbe plants grown in the garden. SWISS CHARD. Swiss chard can be grown easily from seed, in rows iwelve inches apari, the young plants being thinned to six or eight inches apart. The advantage of this plant is that the leaves may be pulled off ‘lose to the root and new leaves thoot up, which may be consumed luring the season. The roots sed for greens and the stem of :g af as asparagus. A few plants iould be suflicient for a small famâ€" iy. ; wuriN. In planting corn holes about two or three inches deep should be made with a hoe. Five or s1ix kernels of corn should be dropâ€" ped in this and covered with soil, which should be gently firmed by tramping on it. When the shoots hre about three inches high all exâ€" cepling the three sturdiest should be pulled out. The soil should be drawn up around the stalks as they grow, to give them support. When the kernels on the cob appear full of milk they are ready to use. It is also a good practice to cultivate the soil often around the corn, for exâ€" pert growers claim that the crops corn and cabbage faster and better when plenty of cultivation is given. AND SALSIFY. _ These include the most important members of the root vegetables. They are usually grown for winter purposes, though beets and carrots are relished by many in their earlier stages of growth. All these demand practically the same attention. The seeds sheuld be sown in straight rows at a depth of about threeâ€"quarters of an inch,. When the plants have reached a height of two inches they should be carefully thinâ€" ned out so that. they stand, beets and parsnips three to four inches apart, carrots and salsify two or three inchbes apart. It will be found that the parsnips are very slow growâ€" ers, and for this reason it is someâ€" times advisable to plant a few seeds of lettuce with the parsnip seeds so that they will serve as a marker. The young beet plants may be used as spring greens. It is necessary that the soil be cultivated at intervals during the summer months so that the crops may grow. They do not as a .general rule require as heavy waâ€" tering as some of the other vegetable crops. In the fall the beets should be pulled up and the tops twisted off close to the head, not cut off with a knife as in the case of carrots, parsâ€" nips, or salsify, which should have the tops cut about oneâ€"half inch from the roots preparatory to storing for winter nse Good Food Products Can Be Secured by the Amateur by a Little Labor and a Small Expenditure, (By _ 8. _C. JOHNSTON, Vegetable Specialist, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Besides growing many vegetables for immediate use the backyard garden should produce some vegetâ€" ables which can be stored for conâ€" sumption during winter months. Some, of course, do not need to be planted as early as the plants which were described last week. Possibly a week should elapse from the time the lettuce is planted before these should be sown.
