How to Make a Good Walk About
Ferns and Roses.

Farmers, as a rule, do not spend enough time
in making and improving walks in front of and
around their homes A good walk in the win
ter time is a necessity for comfort. One does
not like to step out Of doors into several inches
of mud, nor is it much more satisfactory to
have boar dis slipping and sliding from under
your feet. Asphalt walks are so cheap that
most farmers can afford to have one running
around the house and leading to the principal
out-buildings. To make sound walk, cheap
to make and maintain and alike In all weather,
select stone OF fiinty nature and burn it be-
fore putting it on the walk. This can be easily
done with charcoal After the stones are burnt
sift them into two sizes, one for the foundation
of the walk and the other for the top.
Then mix the stones with boiling coal
tar. The foundation of the walk should be
prepared before hand and made perfectly solid
and not liable to sink. The larger stone, mixed
with the tar, should be laid on first to a depth
OF about two inches. Then roll thoroughly,
going over all of it several times. Then lay on
the inner coating about an inch in thickness.
Sprinkle the surface over with coarse grit,
crushed shell or spar, and roll once more. To
prevent the sides from crumbling edgings of
should not forget to burn the stones before
mixing them with the tar, as this is one Of the
most important features Of good, solid walk.
The only work to maintain the walk then is
annually to brush hot tar over the surface,
sprinkle on it some grit and roll it as before.
NO KIND of walk will last longer or prove more
satisfactory for a country home than such q
one described. Weeds will have no chance to
grow up in it. c. 8. WALTERS.

In general effect the dress of the Corean

ence is very marked. They wear orna-

wear also short upper jacket of grass cloth.

faced; in the armpits are gussets of purple silk
and the collars not rolled. The women
have way of not putting their arms through
the sleeves but merely throwing the garment
over their heads, so they can hide their faces
by drawing the folds together. This garment,
the Coreans say was designed by wise king
to initiate the soldiers coats and to be of blue,
the purpose being to have it so that upon the
approach of an enemy the men could take
them from the women and put them
on as nniforms-a sort of volunteer
service uniform. Two finger rings are
worn by the women for ornament.

Pegging Down Roses.

Pegglng down roses is a new way of making
gardens more interesting and beautiful. Beds,
borders or groups of hardy, vigorous growing
roses can be treated in this way with consider
able success. The long shoots of last seasons
growth, if left to stand will only flower on the
extreme upper ends, or if pruned back their
grace and beauty are literally lost By pegging
them down to the ground, however thew will
flower their whole length. strong shoot will
always spring up from where the vine is pegged
down, which in turn can be pegged down by
another season, and the old shoot cut AWAY.
The operation repeated year after year makes
nice rotation. one year of growth, another of
flower, and then the shoots are cut away.
Abundance of rose blooms will be the result of
this method OF training the vines.
SOME VARIETIES OF ROSES
make from to 8 feet of shoots in one season,
and there is no more beautiful sight than to
see them bearing flowers their whole length.
Many quiet hooks in the garden can be filed
in with pegged-down roses, and positions under
the window will look well treated in this way.
Beds OF pegged-down roses can be made so that
not an inch OF the ground is visible and the
effect is very striking. Many of the delicate
bearers will often produce a flower at every
bud along the shoot when treated in this way.
while only one flower at the point of the shoot
will be produced when the stalk is tied to
stake. If this phase Of rose-growing was more
generally practiced in our gardens there would
be fewer dwarfed and SPRAYING vines that are
ungainly to the eye and unproductive to the
grower. Some of the most artistic gardening
can be accomplished in this way especially in
in the way of making neat borders around or in
front of the house. GEO. WILSON.

The handsomest part of the collection is the
rare pottery and the cabinets. One of the
cabinets is a Corean writing desk. The Coreans
sit on mats when they write, so the desk is

made of persimmon wood, which has a pretty
effect of dark and light waves in the grain. 1t

brass plates, designed to represent bats. the

Another cabinet is much more elaborate than
this and is very valuable article of furniture.
1t is 8 feet inches high. feet deep and feet
inches wide, veneered with dark red wood

The panel ornaments are the devices of rect
angular lines falling one within another. which
denote long life and happiness" There are
twenty-five little drawers of different sizes, all
ornamented, most of them concealed behind
three sets of sliding and folding doors. These
doors are provided with very curious locks OF
copper, inlaid with silver and enamel in the
'long life" characters.

Notes on Ferns.

Where ferns of small or medium size are re-
CURED in quantity for interior decoration it is
necessary to keep pace with the propagation.
When plants are kept for most of the summer
in living rooms, halls, and such like places they
are usually so long before they take to moving
freely again that it is often better to discard
them and use fresh ones. Plants that were
raised from spores last autumn and are now in
small pots should be removed into larger pots
INTO which they are to remain. Ferns are not
SO particular in the matter of soil as some
plants, but peat, watered with liquid manure
occasionally, is about the best mixture for the
pots. This soil is better than loan for the
ferns, but it should be made pore porous by
adding little sand and charcoal and cinders.
After they have been potted keep them in the
sunlight so that they can give the necessary
strength to the fronds. In very bright weather
use a thin shade.

As ORNAMENTS.

Ferns make beautiful ornaments in the gar
den and present striking and distinct appear
ance when grouped with other flowers. They
are swamp-loving plants. and when placed in
the garden or fernery they should be planted
In situations where their peculiar wants can be
attended to, otherwise they produce but a
sorry erect. A grand and varied effect is the
object that should always be kept in view in
planting ferns in the open. The plants, how
ever, do not appreciate stagnant moisture, and
the water should be changed occasionally
around their roots. With this treatment some
OF the best varieties of ferns may be grown
successfully in the garden.
