it is go little understood that failures

it is go little understood that failures
frequently occur, which in most in.
stances discourage further effort.
The principal cause of failure with
bulbs in the garden consists in overes.
tinating their hardness. While they
are always classed as hardy, they are
by no means so, and in Holland-Ghe
only country where they are extensive
ly grown for commercial purposes
they are so thoroughly protected that
frost never reaches the bulbs. 1t is q
peculiarly with nearly oil bulbs, and
with the hyacinth in particular, that
oil preparations for spring flowers are
made in the previous fall and winter,
and if the ground is hard frozen there
will be but an imperfect development
of flowers. 1t is, therefore, important,
in planting bulbs in the open ground,
to protect them against any possibil-
ity of freezing. After planting, the
ground should be covered with any
mulch that will accomplish This pur-
pose. The most natural protection is
newly fallen leaves. If o covering of
six inches of leaves is put over the bed
and for about two feet beyond its
outer edges, and these are kept in
place by brush or evergreen boughs,
protection will be complete. In Hol-
land the seed that grows in the great.
est abundance on the banks of their
canals is employed with the best sue
cess.
In this country we have more OBJ
stacles in the way of climatic infu-
ences to contend against than in any
other. Alternate freezing and thaw-
ing after the buds appear materially
injure the bloom, and this should be
guarded against. After the mulching
is removed-as it should be as soon as
the plants appear above ground-mats
or other neat covering should be in
readiness to throw over the plants at
night whenever there is an indication
of frost. These should be kept on dur
ing the day when the temperature is
below the freezing point. With these
precautions, as large and fair flowers
can be produced in this country as in
Holland. The tulip will endure hard
freezing better than the hyacinth, but
the difference in the size of bloom and
the heslthfulness of plants, between
those that have been protected and
those that have not, will be apparent
to the most casual observer. The same
is true of the crocus and the snow
drop, while the polyanthus narcissus
is more tender than the hyacinth, and
must be fully protected New Eng

PEACE OF SOUL,

When you look at the believers busy life
YOU NAV see no trace OF his inward peace Of
soul. But you know that the ocean under
the hurricanes is lashed into those huge
waves and that wild foam only upon the sur
face. Not very far down the waters are as
still rs an autumn noon; there is not a rip
pie or breath or motion; and so II we
had the faith we ought though there might
be ruftles upon the sLiiace Of our lot, we
should have the inward peace Of perfect faith
in God. Amid the dreary noises OF this
world, amid its cares and tears. amid its hot
contentious. ambitions and disappontments,
we should have an inner calm like the ocean
depths, to which the influence of the wild
winds and waves above eau never come

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Save all the waste mortar for the
chickens.
Market all the birds that show any
signs of weakness.
If hens are too fat, feed less corn and
more oats or wheat.
Clean plumage and bright red
combs are indications of good health.
After hen is three years old the
number of eggs will annually de-
crease.
After washing why not utilize the
hot suds by scalding out the hen
houses?
The too free feeding Of alfalfa is apt
to have noticeable effect on the flavor
of the milk.
The laying of unusually large eggs
is proof that the hens are in all over
fat condition.
Thorough and judicious pruning
each year has tendency to prolong the
life OF the peach tree.
The Plymouth Rock attains laying
maturity earlier than the Wyandotts,
but the latter is the more persistent
layer.
The hens of the small breeds start
in laying earlier than those of the
larger breeds, but they also begin 10
fail earlier,
As the late summer is the season for
budding, many a good-for. nothing
fruit tree may be transformed into
something worth having by the pro-
cess of budding.
The fairs are good places to root out
prejudice and long, deep-set ideas.
The wise farmer realizes that he can
not afford to miss good thing so he
attends the fairs.
The best way to get good flock is
to raise it. Keep the best and send
the inferior to the butcher. Use only
q thoroughbred ram, but remember
that pedigree does not make sheep
any NOR. than diploma makes doc
tor.
There is no doubt, if there was some
sort of farm study in ths country
schools and even flower bed agricul-
ture practiced in the school house
wards, that there would be a great
gain made in the direction of better
love for farm life.
The size of all melons, squash and
pumpkins may be increased by pinch
ing back the ends OF the vines after
fruit has set. 1t is also well to remove
some of the latter blossoms and the
small fruit that will not get large
enough to use, thus diverting to what
is larger the sap that would otherwise
so to waste.
The prevailing impression is, that
where there is al over-abundant crop
of either grain, vegetables or fruit one
season, the next will be one OF soar
city. Acting upon this suggestion.
fruit growers in the South Atlantic
States are making extra efforts to-
utilize the present unprecedented
crop, especially of apples, in the best
possible way.
In ordering trees for planting, select
the two-year-old apple, pear and plum
trees instead of three and four-year-
old trees, as they almost invariably
have more fine, tibrous roots in pro-
portion than do the older trees.
Young trees can be more readily
trained to any desired shape than old
er ones. The most extensive planters
prefer to plant young trees.

I;uzzard Attacks a Train.

A railroad man from Pensacola told
Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald re-

caught fire and the buzzard was near

CARRYING LIGHTS INTO BARNS.

Carrying a lamp or lantern into a
barn where there is hayis dangerous
practice, however careful one may be.
Better cut an opening in the partition
wall, or in the barn door, and insert a
pane of glass. A bracket under this
on the outside affords place to set
the lantern, whence its rays will light
up the interior. Two of such places
can be made-.one for the feeding
floor and one for the cattle quarters.
Then there will be no danger from an

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
PIGS LIKE POTATOES.

Pigs appreciate potatoes more than
do most other animals. It is their
nature to root and find such things in
the ground, and next to following this
natural propensity is the privilege OF
having such things offered them. A
small amount may be proftably fed
raw, but large quantities will not do
unless boiled. Put into tub before
they are cold they should be mashed
and mixed with milk and little corn
meal. The quantity should not be
large at first, but small and gradually
increased.-Amerlcan Agriculturi't.
