Palms and Their Culture.

Until within a few years the palm
was regarded as wholly a florists
plant-something to be rented for
special occasions, guarded with the
utmost care, and returned with sense
Of relief if it met no harm. But pro
grcssive florists have dispelled this
illusion, by calling from this great
family such varieties as are best
adapted to amateur culture, and to
endure the vicissitudes that character
ize the average living room. Ambl-
tious amateurs have not been slow to
avail themselves of the tempting
possibilities in store for them, and
have in their turn practically verified
the statements of florists that the palm
will stand great deal of neglect and
wrong treatment before showing any
bas results; I trust this recital Of the
fact will not encourage anyone in care

American looked back to the revolu-
ton or to the war of 1912. The civil
war, being a quarrel between brothers,
could not be source of true national
pride. Yet always war and its victo-

triotism and courage and Talor have

Wood Ashes on the Farm.

As afertilizer wood ashes stand high,
and every farmer is more Or less ac-
quainted with them, but I wonder how
many employ them as medicine for
farm animals. For many years now I
have fed them to stock, and believe
they have done much toward preserv-
ing the invariable good health Of my
swine, horses and cattle. OF course
there may be a difference of opinion
on the subject, and T have never yet
found a veterinary surgeon who would
recommend wood ashes as medicine.
Nevertheless experience is sometimes
worth as much as theoretical advice.
My plan is to keep wood ashes,
charcoal and salt mixed together con-
stantlyin the pen for the swine. Three
parts of wood ashes to one part salt
will not hurt the swine, and if the
mixture is kept before them all the
time, and fresh water is given to them
freely, they will not eat too much to
injure their health. l believe such q
mixture is a good preventive Of swine
cholera and similar diseases. Ger
tainly the beneficial effects are quite
apparent.
Clean wood ashes is better than al
the condition powders for the farm
horses. In fact, many of the so-called
powders are composed chiefly Of salt
and wood ashes, mixed with probably
something else of minor Importance.
This being the case, I find it much
cheaper and easier to administer the
wood ashes direct. The ashes can be
given to the horses twice q week in
their oats, at rate of an even tea
spoonful each time. If given carefully
and regularly I believe that no other
medicine will have to be given to
horses that are fairly treated and cared
for.
Every one familiar at all with farm
matters must have observed certain
habit in many horses and COWS to gnaw
wooden posts, trees and similar OBJ
jects. This craving for something
which they 10 not get from their daily
food is satisfied when wood ashes aro
administered regularly to them: It is
just as natural for the animals to de-
sire this as it is for Us Is have a cray
