One of our lady readers. remarkably
successful with her house plants in Il {
| winter season, gives us two points in theil
management. Every gardener and tlOris1
knows the value of what is called '.botton
heat" A'warm moSphere-especially i
Il dry one-is often insufficient to bring
about Il healthy growth. and is sometimes
injurious. What is wanted for many kinds
of plants and flowers. is moist heat at the
roots and fibers where growth early starts
and from which the stimulus is conveyed
to every other part of the plant. A thrifty
growth below the=ground..is sure to be fol
owed by fruit and flowers above.
Our lady friend accomplisies this..by fill
ing the sallcers of her iower-pots with hot
water. This is. Of course. absorbed and
carried up to the roots and fibers. givin.
the required bottom heat. Unthrifly
plants. in addition to this. she places: on
the mantle-piece over the kitchen range,
keeping them, Of course, well watered. 1t
supplies heat where ii is most wanted-at
the roots-and the benefit is marked. In
warm rooms the temperature is at.the top.
and tie coolest near the floor, where the
pots are. This reverses the proper order.
giving the roots Of a plant the coolest
place.
Another important matter in house
plants is to give them the morning sun.
Windows where flowers are kept. should.
therefore. face the east. The reasons are
not known. perhaps. but the fact is patent
TO all whose business it is to develop a
healthy growth in plants and flowers. that
an hour of morning sun is worth three
hours of afternoon sun. Every one OBJ
serves this. and it may be owing to some
action at that time.
At this season the Gala will be growing
and will nceH water more
\ saucer of water under the
Gala is much relished by this plant. 1t is
in its nature. Other plants
have saucers under them in order to keep
the water from dripping on the floor; but
the water should not be allowed to stand
in them. The Gala flower is liable to the
attacks of green fly, as indeed are many
plants which grow in windows. There
are many remedies which gardeners use in
that are inapplicable in rooms.
The best thing for the room gardener is to
take the pots 10 a back kitchen. or, if not
frosty. to the open air. lay the pots on
their sides. and syringe with warm soap

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

! 1t pays to treat domestic animals kindly
| There is no animal so stupid as not tC
know the difference. between kind and un
kind treatment. and none so vicious or un
grateful as not to respond in kindness tc
| tie hand that'pets and caresses it. The
| vicious horse has almost always been {;
timid colt, and required only kind and gen.
tie treatment to drive away fear and estat'
fish confidence, to render him dOcile.
1t is the nature Of all animals to resent
ill-treatment even from one of their own
species. and to fight when imposed upon.
Thus. the horse will return kick or a
bite. while the horned animal will do bat
tie with the arms with which nature has
furnished it.
A tilnid and spirited colt is very natural
ly and rapidly changed into vicious and
unmanage:b!e horse by rough and unkind
handling: and the tinid heifer- by the same
treatmnnt, becomes IN ugly, hooking and
kicking COW.
Domestic animals recognize kind words
as well as kind acts, and a cross word at a
critical moment will bring fight and deter
mined opposition, where q kind word
would have calned fear and subdned an
ger.
In handling domestic animals, that man
is the most successful who governs his
own passions. With domestic animals,
kindness begets kindness, and passion be
gets passion.

wOOL-GROWING IN WESTERN TEXAS.
Every year large flocks OF sheep are be.
ING moved from the Southern and South
western part of Texas, where formerly all
the great sheep ranches were located, to
the high and rolling praires Of North
western and Western Texas, where the It
mospher is drier. and clear streams OF
pure water are found. 1t is said that sheep
thrive better ON the shrubs. plants, saline
grasses ana herbs, SO plentiful in this re-
gion. especially that Of black soils or low
nlarslly bottom lands. 1t is believed that
the finer-wooled sheep pay the best, and
Il great deal of expense is saved by being
able to run them into large tlocks. Men
practically experienced in sheep-raising in
Texas give it as their opinion that wool of
the Merino and other large varieties can be
raised here at cents per pound. The sales
last season ranged from % to 45 cents per
pound. Large fortunes have been made at
it, and the opportunities presented now are
superior to any heretofore.
