Armour's Monthly Cook Book, Volume 2, No. 12, October 1913 / A Monthly Magazine of Household Interest
October is a fine time to plant every kind of bulb, root and tuber, also all deciduous plants and shrubs, except those with thin bark or thick, fleshy roots (e.g., birch magnolia).
Clean up and burn diseased plants, manure the garden, plow it and leave it all winter.
Burn asparagus tops and manure the bed. Also make new asparagus and rhubarb beds and plant sets of extra early pearl onions for use next March. Put some parsley plants in a box and place it in a light cellar or in a shed.
Put some frozen rhubarb roots in a barrel of earth in the cellar where they will produce pie-plant, for winter use. Dig chickory for salad and store in sand in a dry cellar. Blanch endive by tying lightly at the tips.
Pull up cabbages, leaving roots on, and stand upside down on shelf in cellar. Pick cranberries this month. Then cover the bog with a foot of water to drown bugs and to protect from frost. Rake up the fallen leaves and use as a mulch for flowers and shrubs. Hardwood leaves like oak and chestnut contain more plant food than those from soft wooded trees.— Garden and Farm Almanac. Doubleday, Page and Company.
Most of us could manage to be fairly happy if we really tried to make the best of things.
Don't get depressed even if things do seem to be going wrong at the moment. Depression will make matters worse rather than better. If you do your duty faithfully, the sun is sure to shine again sometime.
Many people pride themselves on their plain speaking. An ability to put things pleasantly is really far more valuable. Even fault-finding can be pleasantly done.
It always seems to me that God is probably less anxious that we should fulfil our tasks in life than that we should do our best.
Of the people who complain most bitterly that they have no chance probably a very small proportion would do great things if great opportunities came. No chance is a very old excuse.
Don't give way to selfishness—that detestable vice that we all find it so difficult to forgive in others.
