Protection OF Perennial Plants.

William Toole, writing in the Wis
consin Horticulturist. says: The vigor
and Righteousness which our hardy
perennials may show next season can
be strengthened by the care given to
them just before winter. Even the
hardest Of them will show more vigor
IL given winter protection. All her
baceous perennials which retain some
foliage through the winter should have
a little brush placed around them be-
fore being covered with straw or
leaves. This to prevent heavy pack
ing, which causes them to rot near the
surface. Those which die down to the
ground may be covered with coarse
manure. which can be raked away in
the spring. Tulips and other bulbs and
all plants which sometimes come out of
move protection should be covered
with well-rotted manure, which need
not be removed in the spring, the
plants being permitted to come up
through 1t. Roses can best be protect
ed by covering with earth, being care
full when laying them down to throw a
little earth next the base of the stems
so that they will not break near the
base. If carelessly done there is dan
ger of bend at top becoming uncov-
cred during the winter. a little coarse
litter on top of all will prevent the soil
washing down. Climbing roses and
such as are difficult to cover with earth
may be held down with boards covered
with straw and brush. Earliness OF
many kinds of ANIMALS can be promot-
ed by sowing just before winter, such
kinds as pansies. peoples, larkspurs, as
tiers, pinks and many others. Poppies
and larkspurs should be sown where
they are to grow. The rest may be
planned for transplanting. These will
come up before 1t is possible to have
them with spring sowing and be more
robust than plants started indoors.
Laying Period.-The best laying per-

In his heart a load of sorrow,
As she met him al the door.

And glad was his weary heart,
A home from the worlds deception
Away from the business mart.

And the work of the day is done?

WASHING BLANKETS,

SnlnN Day.
Blankets have, to a large extent. taken
the place of the heavy and unwholesome
comforts for bed covering. An excel

a price so low that they are within reach
of moderate purses. They are lighter
than comforts, and when soiled, can be
thoroughly cleaned while the comforts

Spring is the best season for wash
ing blankets. If the binding across the
ends is worn, remove it and rebind, or
finish the edges with a border done in
blanket stitch with Germantown yarn.
Cut double blankets apart. as they are
easier to handle than when they are to-
gcther. Any spots that are greasy o.
badly soiicd should be removed with
benzine before putting in water, and
the work is greatly lessened if the
blankets are thoroughly shaken to re-
move the loose dirt and dust.
Choose a bright. sunshiny day to
wash and if a gentle breeze is blowing,
so much the better. Fill your tubs halt
full of soft, hot water in which half a
bar of good white soap has been dis
solved, then put the blankets in and
wash gently. Yellow, resinous soap and
hard rubbing ruins blankets: the form

pulled the horse down to walking pace,
and drove slowly by the club.

"Ah, surely!" and Miss Hayward,
looking up, bestowed her sweetest smile
upon Lord Rosstrevor.
The captain was furious, and gave
the bay sharp cut with the whip,
when they ratified down the street at a
lively pace.
