HOME LETTER.

Ed. HOME CIRCLE How ! would like
to see our domestic department become
credit TO the many wives and mothers
who read the GRAPHIC. There are
plenty OF them here in Missouri who
not on y are mistreSSeS OF all that belong
to good housekeeping, but have minds
sufficiently cultivated to enable them
to write Instructive and entertaining
letters, not to beginners only, but to
those who have had some experience.
tbs good plan, | think, 20 exchange
information and one Is never TOO old TO
learn. Some of the correspondents of
the Home Circle write as though
they could not have a happy home,
without pictures, books, and MANY
ornamental articles, others sheer at
fancy work. and seem to think woman
Is on the wrong road unless she always
meets her husband with a smile" and
studies his taste about every thing. She
does not say whether the husband
should smile or rot; in Ill probability
ii he says, ''Old woman, what in the
thunder be you GRIMM at?' she will
only smile the louder. In short we have
as many different opinions as there are
letters, and like every one of them,
whether | agree with them or not.
What tame common place world this
would be If everyone thought alike, and
little sensible disagreement now and
then, only adds zest to daily life. For
my part like lots Of pepper and spice,

HOW RAISE GERANIUMs.

Plant the seed in boxes; that is,
place the seeds one in place on top
of the soil, which mus. be very fine.
press them into the soil about quarter
OF an inch, with 4 pencil, shake the
box little sideways, and they will be
sufficiently covered, If the soil is well
prepared. Take three ,hicknessess OF
old flannel the size and shape of the
box. wet them in hot water, spread
carefully over the box, and set away in
warm dark plac.. Keep them moist
mot wet and in from four to eight
days they will be found pushing up
their tiny cotyledons. Now take off
their flannel wrappers, and place in a
warm sunny place; whenever the soil
looks dry. sprinkle carefully with warm
rainwater Always water at evening,
and very gently, as the young plants
are tender. When they have four
leaves, transplant into egg shells, set
the shells in box or pan, filled with
soil to the tops ofthe shells. In about
month, if properly cared for, the
shells will be filed with roots, when
they should be transplanted to three
inch pots with bits of charcoal in the
bottom. Be careful that all of the tiny
roots are in their natural position,
using hairpin to adjust them. These
are for indoor blooming. Those you
want for bedding out, should be placed
in the beds where you want them to
flower. Don't use large pots, as they
flower younger and more freely in small
ones.
To start cuttings take two Or three
ounce wal, wrap a cloth or thick paper
around it, fill with rainwater and hang
in sunny place-a window is best. Put
in your cutting, leaving on enough
leaves to rest on the neck of the vial.
When the roots are an inch long, trans
plant to two inch pot, water carefully
and keep shaded two or three days.

ANSWER. You can best raise Smila,

supply a paper. Sow the seed in pot
IN the spring and transplant the young
pants to pots Of rich sandy loan. They
will grow rapidly and form thick,
fieshy roots, somewhat resembling those
OF asparagus. These roots are perren-
NAL and the plants grow stronger every
year. The roots should be drie ed off in
summer but not be so dry as to shrlyel.

size of the plant. A twelve inch pot
