FLORAL CULTURE.

Azaleas should be put out-of-doors
in a shady, airy place during summer
BE very careful to see that the soil il
the pot is never allowed to become
dry.
Ferns should have n light, fibrous
spongy soil of leaf-mould. Change
them from the sandy soil in which they
are now, and l think you will find an
improvement in them.
If neither bignonia, wistaria or honey.
sucklc flourish with you the failure
may be due to unsuitable soil. Give
them, if possible, a mixture OF loan
and clay.
The pearl is considered the best va
riety for general cultivation. do not
think this plant is ever grown from
seed, except by way Of experiment.
Young bulbs are planted. l am told
by one of our most extensive dealers
in this flower that the best bulbs come
from North and South Carolina.
Tea Roses.-For summer use the teas
and ever-blooming roses are preferable
to hybrid perpetuals, as they come into
bloom when small, and flower freely all
the season. For permanent beds I
would prefer hybrid perpetuals to any
other class. Give them a rich soil.
Plant them any time after the 1st OF
May.
Transplanting roses, peonies and
other shrubs and herbaceous plants
should be done in spring. Get a cata-
logue from some dealer in hardy plants,
and study 1t well. From it you will
learn what plants do well in shade,
and 1t will also enable you to select
plants which bloom at different sea-
sons. 1t is an easy matter to make
selection which will give flowers from
May until October.-Ladies' Home Jour-
nal.

FOR THE HEALTH'S SAKE.

Cold drinks, ice cream and frozen ices
do not make people cool. If overheated
cold drinks are most disastrous to the
digestion. Hot drinks, rather than cold,
are conducive to comfort in hot weather.
If the eyes are much infamed, bath
ing them in cold water is sometimes
more restful than bathing them in hot
water. Never, under any circumstances,
apply warm poultice to the eyes. If
they inflame easily, great care should be
taken about going out where the winds
are boisterous and the dust is flying.
To cure fatulency take ten drops Of
the tincture of nux vomioa in cold water
before meals every day for eight weeks;
also take the phosphate of sodium, a
teaspoonful in teacupful of water
(boiling water to be preferred) upon
rising in the morning and upon retiring
at night. After meals take teaspoon
full of pure glYcerin.
A bed should never be made up under
two hours from the time 1t has been
slept in. 1t should be aired thoroughly
and beaten until it is light. Open all
the bedroom windows and let the fresh
air and sunlight into the room. Hair
pillows are much more conducive to
healthful sleep than feathers, end light
woolen blankets are better than heavy
coverings.
Eating between meals, says n wise
doctor, is bad habit for one to acquire.
1t will certainly injure the digestive
process, and soon upsets a natural,
healthy appetite for regular meals. 1t
is very easy habit to get into, and is
rather difficult to break up. If any eat
ing is INDUCED in between meals, per-
fectly ripe, fresh fruit is the least harm

FOR THE FARMERS.

The Shropshire has round, solid
body and good fleece of six or eight
pounds, and is an excellent sheep for a
small flock upon the farm and for do
mestic use. Its size and the nature of
its mutton and wool suit the demand,
and it is most often seen at the fairs and
in the market.
The roller is indispensable for pre-
pairing onion ground either for seed or
sets. That with shallow cultivation
to the depth of two inches will make a
better seed bed than will deeper tillage.
If the soil is made friable deep down
the onion may grow large, but it will
likely be thick-necked and grow a crop
of scullions.
To be effective mineral manures for
spring and summer crops must be APP
piled early. They need some of the
spring rains to dissolve the fertilizer SO
that the plant roots can make use of it.
Besides; as weather and soil become
warm and dry there is less need of the
fertilizer, as the soil itself releases more
of its own fertility under such condi-
tions.
There is no better way to fertilize
poor land than to SOW it with peas,
using phosphate of lime to furnish the
mineral fertility that this crop requires
to perfect the seed. 1t is not nitrogen
which the pea crop most needs other
than what the pea roots supply to dis
integrating air in the soil and liberating
its nitrogen. But to form the grain both
lime and phosphate are required. With
these supplied the soil will grow richer
every year.
