WNU S?*rvi food for centuries In some Central American countries is the cbavoie, sometimer called vegetable pear, man go s?iuash. or mtrliton. In the last few years there has been increasing interest in the growing of ??hayotes Tor home use and local markets ir iae lower South, the United States De partment of Agriculture reports, and chayotes are now appearing in season in northern na well as southern raar l kets. The adaptability of the chayote an a table vegetable is one of its out stand i fnu characteristics. It may be eaten plain be i led. mashed, fried. stuffed and baked, used cold in salads, in frit ters. or made Into sweet pickle. Un like most squash, the chayote holds it? form perfectly after being c??.?ked. Us tlavor Is delicate and resembles summer squash. To some people it tastes like stewed oysters. TIim root, which becomes tuberlike after the first season, is starchy and may he boiled and eaten. Itotanically the chayote Is related to tiie squashes and cucumber. It usual ly fruits in the fall, though when early vine growth from old roots is not in. jured by spring frost it may produce a crop in the spring. The fruits of different varieties of chayote vary in weight from three ounces to throe pounds. Lime Phosphate Profitable to Use on Lej^ume Crops Lime phosphate may be used for growing either legume crops or urain crops. When used for grain crops, some thought must he given to the liberation of phosphorus by the a< Ms :o plants or by those formed in the de composition of organic matter. When there is enough decomposition in a soil to provide more nitrogen than Is needed in proportion to phosphorus, lime phosphate will be beneficial wheu applied without fresh organic matter. There is not much land In this condi tion, however, as most soils are in need of some fresh organic matter occasionally for the purpose of liber ating various kinds of plant food; and it is best to use lime phosphate in connection with active organic mat ter. such as legumes or manure. Vegetable Strong Smelling Mixture Will Repel Bot Flies To protect our horses l'rom hot tlies w?> use a mixture of equal parts of turpontine, kerosene and linseed oil, applied with a cloth to all parts of the horses when the llies lay their eggs. One application usually will keep the bot flies away for from 48 to 72 hours. However, if applied lightly each morning it Is a protection against other bothersome flies as well, writes R. E. Gruhbs of Rrown county, Indiana, in Capper's Farmer. It is not necessary to use a large amount of this oil. Just enough to moisten the ends of the hairs. This mixture has a strong odor which seems to be disliked by flies. Fertilize Strawberries Applications of nitrate of soda or sulfate of ammonia are best made when plants are dry, broadcasting with care and using very finely di vided nitrate or sulfate. Care should be taken not to allow the crystals ro accumulate on the foliage. If de sired, the nitrate or sulfate can he ap plied at the base of the plants in wa ter solution, using two ounces to ilie gallon. This is a safe way to make the application and is practical where water and spray pump equipment Is available.
