THE AMERICAN WELL WORKS 
Aurora, Ill. or ist Natl. Bank Bldg., Chicago 
Well drilling and prospecting, 
the plants for setting, they are dumped out 
ina heap. Fach plant is then selected from 
this heap and stripped of all the old runners 
and dead leaves, and the roots trimmed to 
about three inches long. All the old parent 
plants must be discarded. The plants are 
now ready for conveyance to the field where 
they are dropped at holes provided for their 
reception. 
These holes are best made with the 
spade, the blade being driven in on the 
line and the handle levered over to one side 
before withdrawing. This leaves the hole 
even on one side, while on the other the soil 
is banked from the pressure of the spade 
blade. To set each plant is taken in the 
hand, the roots spread apart with the fingers, 
and the plant is then held against the flat 
side of the hole—the crown of the plant even 
with the surface—the soil is pushed from 
the banked side into the hole and against 
the roots and made firm. 
PLANTING IMPERFECT KINDS 
When the bed is being set with a variety 
having only pistillate flowers, every fourth 
or fifth row must be planted with a variety 
having perfect flowers in order that the flowers 
of the plants with pistillate flowers may be 
pollenated; otherwise there will be no crop. 
In about a week’s time after planting, the 
bed is ready to receive its first hoeing. The 
soil should be thoroughly stirred around 
and between the plants and followed by the 
cultivator between the rows. The _ best 
cultivator for this purpose is a diamond 
toothed one, the outer teeth being kept 
sharp on their outer edges. The cultivator 
should be held first on one side and, turning, 
on the other side of the row, close to the 
plants. 
Train the runners over every gap made 
through the destruction or dying out of the 
plants originally set, so that there may be no 
blanks.

Hollandaise Sauce 
N PAGE 7g it is recommended that 
Hollandaise sauce be served with 
seakale. It makes this vegetable most deli- 
cious, accentuating its flavor, and is easily 
prepared as follows: 
To one tablespoon of freshly crushed 
whole white pepper add four tablespoons 
of vinegar, one teaspoon of fresh lemon 
juice, four leaves of parsley, and four leaves 
of chervil, which have been thoroughly 
washed and drained. Put these in a small 
enameled pan and place it on the corner 
of the range, stirring once in a while, allow- 
ing the mixture to slowly reduce to one- 
half the quantity. Then press it through 
cheese-cloth into a bowl, put in the yolk 
of one fresh egg and beat with a whisk for 
one minute. 
To this carefully add, drop by drop, 
one gill of hot melted butter, rapidly 
and continually stirring with the whisk 
while adding it. Season with two salt- 
spoons of salt and half a saltspoon of cayenne 
pepper, and briskly whisk for one minute 
longer. Press through a cloth and serve.
