THE women of the country will
spring TO arms, or to crochet needles,
or TO embroidery scissors, or to some
other dangerous weapon at the dire
announcement OF a trust in seal skins
1t is an outrage on the fair sex. There

be thought of at all by the women,
and that is confident and unfailing
trust that they are going to have one.

The lawn will need frequent clipping
where the rainfall is as great as il has
been here and along the Atlantic States
this season. Plants. like the dahlia and
gladlolus. etc, that are apt to become
top heavy. especially in moist times
should be suitably supported with neat
stakes. Cultivation, this month, will be
the great demand both in the flower and
the kitchen garden, and the frequcn,
stirring of the soil by the hoe or the cul-
tivator will be the great means to send
the plants ahead, and il the weather
should be dry the value Of stirring the
soil is far greater.
During this month beans, corn and
lettuce can be planted for succession
and the main crops of celery, caulifIower
late cabbage and turnips can be got in
stake up the tomato plants as they
Increase in size, and keep the fruit of
the ground it will ripen quicker and be
better for it.
A great many kinds of garden and
house plants can be propagated thi.
month from cuttings, layers and seeds
Many kinds of perennial seeds will
terminate best if sown AS soon as ripe
This is especially true of perennial
phloN, which it l. difficult to get up II

should all be carefully attended to and
their growth regulated, and watering
looked after-whethcr they are still il
