LIQUID Manure.
year.

Every garden ought to have its leach
barrel for the manufacture of liquid ma
nure. Manure in the soil is good, but the
appIicationUf it in liquid form produces
more satisfactory results. 1t ismOre i'm
mediate in it's results, and none of it is
wasted, as a good deal of that which is
worked into the soil must be.
1t is an easy matter to fit up leach.
Take any old barrel and set it on q slOp-
ing platform. This platform should be
about foot high-high enough to allow
sIippinga pail underit to catch the liquid
in. This platform should be larger than
the bottom of the barrel, with cleats
nailed on the sides to prevent the liquid
from running Off. The front of it ought to
be sIoped, like an obtuse- angled letter V
with cleats fastened to it, butnot coming
quite together at the point. These con-
duct the manure to the opening left at
the point where it falls into the pail
placed for it's reception. The bottom Of
the barrel should be filled with stones,
brick or pottery, to keep the manure from
packing down solidly and clogging up the
holes which should be made for the escape
of the liquid. On top OF this drainage fill
in manure from the cow stables, and
pound it down well. Add water slowly
at first to allow it to get thoroughly
soaked through before teaching begins.
When you notice that it begins to trickle
out at the bottom of the barrel add it in
greater quantities.
That which first runs off will be very
strong. 1t will beabout the color of thick
coffee Dilute it until it has an amber
for safety. Too strong liquid manure

Mr. Joyce has lived in many places and

some of his rarest plants are from seed
obtained from those places. His house
stands on sandy elevation, surrounded
by oak trees. Large verandas run

Around the veranda posts cling honey

hibiscus and, at their feet, pineapples are
fruiting. In q collection of pots and

"a BLOOMING Garden Fence" (which we
reproduce from the American Agricult-
urist, contains happy solution OF the
problem of how to beautify our for
the most part - unattractive yard
fences. Both the honeysuckle and
Virginia creeper (Ampelopsis quinque-
fOlia) succeed to perfection in this climate,
and planted along side of the ugliest
fence imaginable would soon transform
it into an object to gladden. the eye of all
behOlders. One need not have the wire
netting arrangement to work on. Any
fence can be utilized and beautified by
planting any vines adap: ed to the eli
mate. And it is wonderful what varie-
ty of plants will flourish planted along
beside such floral screen-plants which
refuse to flourish in the open ground.
The dense mass of vines keeps the ground
cool and shaded and the partial screen
ing from the fervid midday and after
noon sun seems to exactly suit many
plants which in the full sunlight barely
manage to live.
NEARLY one year ago it was our good
fortune and pleasure to visit - oyceland,"
of which our correspondent 2. p. writes
in this issue. There are some people in
Florida-and we are not SO sure but
what they form q goodly number-who
think it quite impossible to cultivate
flowers here with any degree of success
We only wish all such could visit "JOyce-
land" behold the results obtained by it's
genial proprietors and fully realize the
difficulties under which these results have
been obtained. The situation is on pine
land of the poorest type imaginable. A
white sand ':scrub," producing little be-
sides desert rosemary and spruce pine,
extends quite up to the fence just back Of
the residence, and o native FlOridian
would tel. you that the land under cult
walton would not sprOut COW peas; and
yet the results obtained by Mr.. Joyce in
his short residence there, would put to
shame the efforts of many of our resi-
dents of twenty-five years standing. His
surroundings are fast assuming that
mi-tropical appearance one would nat
urally look for under these skies. Figs,
pineapples, bananas, pawpaws and many
other tropical and semi-tropical fruits
are thriving in the most satisfactory
manner imaginable, while rare trees,
shrubs, vines and flowers appear on every
hand, attesting by their thriftness the
intelligent and loving care of their owner.
We were informed that one of the princi-
pal secrets of success lay in mulching;
and fig trees covered with figs and grow
ing where the yellow sub soil and sur
face were hardly distinguishablei furnished
abundant proof OF the efficacy OF the
theory.

been frequently planted with honeysuckle,
and are the most beautiful of ornamen-

it gives them to no small degree the adj

A Blooming Garden Fence.


One of the Sweetest" fences that can
be found in any part of the country is
used in one of the northern wards of New
York City, and is becoming great favor
ite wherever it is introduced. For gar
den and door-yard fence it has good
points which make it desirable when nc
other form OF fence would be even toler
able. The foundation consists of light
posts, spaced about eight feet apart. Or
these ordinary wire netting thirty inches
wide is tackled, this being the full height
of the fence. This is of course ample fol-
all garden purposes in the city. The bot
tom of the wire net is put close to the
ground. Six inches up q strand of barbed
wire is put, and another on top of the
posts and along the upper edge OF the
netting. Where the posts are far apart
the netting is fastened to the wire at in
tervals.
So much for the foundation. The next
step is to set out hOneysuckle along the
fence. One plant to each panel of the
fence answers well when one is not in a
great hurry. Usually the plants are put
in closer, not more than two or three feet
apart. The plant finds it's conditions ex-
actly suited to it's habit and laughs all
over. 1t grows in and out of every mesh
1t covers every square inch of the wire
and when the time comes it blossoms as
i, if it had a contract to fill. One OF these
fences just above Spuyten Duyvil during
the past season made the air fragrant
for two hundred feet along both sides
1t was sweet fence in fact as we'll as in
formed is very much like that of a hedge,
in the color, but the habit of the growth
is very different. There is striking diff
ference in the amount of labor required
by the hedge and the fence The latter,
if neglected, does nOtrun up into row OF
tall trees shading the ground for a long
distance on both sides At it's worst it
may become asomeWhat heavy bank, but
it will not invade to any great extent
either garden or grecn-sWard even after
some years of freedom from the knife.
The netting insures tightncss against
anything larger than q sparrow or a
chicken. For q division between two
lawns, or for any purpose where light
ornamental line is needed the vine sup
ported on netting offers many advan-
tages.
A modification of this fence is made by
using the Virginia Creeper instead of the
hOneysuckle. This vine covers the wire
even more completely than the other,
and forms q thick, heavy net of branches
that is practically impenetrable even
when the netting has been destroyed by
rust. 1t has the same advantages of
never getting beyond control in sky
ward direction, and of keeping fairly close
to it's support, while it's beauty in the fall
can be better imagined than described.
This style of vine-hedge has been applied
to many of the forms of light ornamental
iron and wire fences, and forms q pleasing
combination with all of them. Even
where there are only three or four strands
of crimped wire the effectis beautiful The
fence is of course not proof against the
smaller animals unless the wire netting is
of very fine mesh, but for ornamental

Happy Adam and Eve,

When youcome to think of it cool
" and calmly after the lapse of all
these years, Adam and Eve were
pretty fortunate people. Adam new
er had to run dead heats with the
house dog. He didn't even have to
sitin the parlor and talk politics with
Ewes father. When they quarrelled
and Eve climbed tree Adam didn't
have to write long letters and spend
hours of anxiety and postage stamps
to make it up. All he had flo do was
to sit down under the tree and wait
till Ewes temper recovered it's nor
NAL sweetness. He never patronized
confectionery stores; he merely went
to the nearest fruit tree, plucked o
nice ripe pineapple, and presented it
with his compliments. Theirs was a
beautiful dream ofwedded life. When
Eve wanted new dress Adam went
to the nearest fig tree and got it.
And Eve never felt called upon to
mend a bursted huttonholepr to help
Adam hunt his collar button, or take
all the blame because he stumbled
over the rocking chair. 1t was a
monopoly on unadulterated comfort,
and if Eve had only had enough fem
mime sagacity to lift up her skirts and
scream and run when she saw the
snake we wouldn't be having all this
trouble now Washington Post.
