Not all soils require drainage. The nted for it is indicated by the follow- ing conditions: Moss growing on the surface, plants looking yellow or dwarfed, deep cracks during a dry sea- son, and water standing more than twenty-four hours after a rain. A soil may be drained by laying the land out in beds, by constructing ditches, or by making a system of un- derground tile drains. In many sec- tions the land is thrown up in level beds five feet wide, to insure suffi- cient drainage for winter vegetables. Fresh Vegetables.âThe fresher the green vegetable the quicker it cooks. Wilted vegetables take two or three times as long to cook and are not then as tender as perfectly fresh ones. The wilted vegetables should be soaked in cold water till revived as far as pos- sible . Vegetables likely to contain worms or insects should be placed in cold water fifteen to forty minutes to draw them out. A little vinegar helps start them. Mr. J. H.
