FARM, GARDEN, AND FIELD.
Some Valuable Hints About the Care of
Plants and Trees.

Pot plants are more difficult to grow success
fully than those cultivated in the open garden.
The plants usually are very tender and consist
OF choice varieties Insects and other plant
enemies are more diligent in their destructive
work, and they reward any neglect on the part
of the grower by completely running the rare
flowers in a very short time. The composition
Of the SOIL too, is matter Of great considera-
ton with the horticulturist who cannot find
the time to change it in the pots or stir it as
often as the needs of the plants require. 1t is
a self-evident fact that flowers kept in pots
during part or whole of the year demand
special attention and treatment.
There Is nothing so beneficial to such plants
as an occasional ap plication OF manure-water or
hquld manure. Such treatment increases the
Vlgor OF the stalk, loosens the soil and i'm
pregnates it with good fertilizer. But u word
OF caution should be given concerning appii-
cations OF liquid manure. Very many injure
their plants by feeding them with too strong
nquid manure or by applying it too often.
Plants will not only derive no benefit from a
TOO free application of manure-Water but they
VIII be positively injured by it. The time to
apply the liquid manure ls when the plants are
making vigorous growth and during the bloom
ing periods. 1t should not be applied at any
other time.
USEFUL PREPARATION.
A very useful and simple preparation that
have found beneficial to the plants is made by
mixing two pecks Of sheep manure, one peck
OF SCOT and two quarts of guano in hogshead
OF ram water. Smaller amounts can be made
oy mixing the ingredients in the same proper
ton. The mixture should be stirred up
thoroughly for day or two and then quart
OF quick-lime thrown in. The mixture will
tnen be ready for use. Weak and tender plants
should be treated with an application OF this
manure about once week during the towering
period. Strong, healthy plants can stand an
application every day or two, bUt it is usually
SAFER to dilute it with one-third of clear water
when such frequent applications are made.
orchids, roses, heaths and other flowers will
SHOW marked improvement. both in the growth
OF the wooded stalks and III the production of
flowers and foliage. As soon as the Towering
period Is over the applications should cease.
IL kept up the plants will be unduly stimulated
and their growth retar led in the eud. Amateurs
always have tendency to go to extremes in
using such strong solutions.

Many Of our soils have all the elements OF
great fertility except water, and the work OF
supplying them artiAcially with this life-givine
fluid is one Of the signs of our triumphant
march forward: By the Introduction of water
into regions where all had been inert and life
less before the desert Is Transformed into
fields of verdure, beauty and fruitfulness.
Every farmer can accomplish this work on :
small scale, and lands that are only partially
fertile can be made to produce good crops o.
such delicate garden vegetables as celery and
