Hints on Economy.

The majority of women, whether on
the farm Of in the city, wishes to use
everything to the oest advantage, con-
sequently there are very few who do
not renOvate and make over their old
dresses when they have grown too old
fashioned to be presentable. The fol
lowing suggestions are given with the
hope that they may be of practical val
lie in this work.
The first thing to be done is to go

by the previous cultivation of some
other plant. Any good garden soil will
do. The finest specimens that we have
seen raised blossomed freely, sur
bles, and received but the ordinary at
tention of the rest This leads us to
say that many practical florists advo-
cate that Gladioli should always be
grown in the garden and never ON the
lawn. Their period of bloom is so
short, that if they are conspicuous on
the lawn, we have to endure both be-
fore and after blooming their unat-
tractive foliage for weeks. There is
something in this and it ought to have
some weight with us in planting.
Partial shade for Gladiol is even
helpful. For this reason they are use
full in lighting up patches of ground
near fences and dark retreats among
shrubs. In the garden they may be
set out in rows like corn or potatoes,
only the bulbs are to be about four
inches apart.
On the lawn they should be set into
small circular beds and the red varie-
ties be selected. Red is an attractive
color for the yard, as it nicely compile
ments it's surroundings. If there is any
difference in the height of the varie-
ties, set the taller sorts in the middle
AMI group around them the others.
Here, as elsewhere, set them four inch
es apart each way.
AS to the depth of planting, that
should depend ON the soil. In loose,
porous soil bulbs should be set four
inches deep. In heavy, clayey kinds
two inches is deep enough. The roots
of the GladiOlus love the cool, moist
soil and deep planting furnishes this
to them. AS soon as the blades. are
we'll up, the hoe should be freely used.
When the warm days of summer
come, mulching of lawn grass or OLD
short straw will help to retain the
moisture about the roots. They need
to be watered freely ait least once a
week. Do this SO that every root and
rootlet will be bathed. At other times
invite moisture from below by fire.
quent hOeing. In display beds the spike
should be tied to a stout wire pushed
into the ground beside the plant. In
the garden the row may be supported
by a wire Oh two stretched between
stakes at each end. When planted on
the east side of the house or fence
they seldom need any supporting, IN
less that special locality has high
winds.-J. F. Butcher in Success with

every one as Gladloli. They are strict
ly summer blooming and must be
planted i'm the spring. July, August
and September are the months in
which they will bloom. This long peri
cd is secured by successive paintings.
In the fall after the light f1'osts have
Drowned the foliage, the bulbs are talk
en- up and the same care is bestowed
upon them that is given the potato.
They are not hardy. By this we mean
that they cannot undergo the freezing,
as Hyacinths, Tulips and Crocuses do,
without being injured. So they must
be lifted before the cold weather.
There is no kind or sort but what is
beautiful. The colors range from the
deepest scarlets to the spotless whites,
while the markings on the petals are
odd and fantastic. The florets, ais the
individual flowers are called, are ON
long graceful stems, called spikes.
These f1Orets are Iris-like, and also re-
mind one of the delicate Orchids
Gladioi are from one ITO four feet in
height; some are delicate i'm both flow
err and form, while others are strong
and extremely SNOWY.
Any one can succeed in their cuIti-
vation who has some originaEity-and
the bulbs. These are to be gotten from
the florist shortly after the first OF
March. They are so cheap that one
should not be satisfied with less than
two or three dozen of them
Gladioli, to be effective, must be
massed. This means the setting of
dozen or more in one group SO as to
make a clump. These, when in bloom,
will throw out such a glory of color ON
the green lawn that they will be a
veritable pillar of fire even by day.
Such a result need never be expected
from the planting of one or two bulbs
indifferently here and there.
In selecting Gladioli bulbs from the
florist, one will be best repaid by Sc
1ecting a dozen or two of a single va
riety. These will be alike in height
and color, so that massing becomes
possible, then, too SO many allow ex>
ceIlent opportunities for careful study.
1t is better ito become fully acquainted
with one kind we'll than a dozen sorts
carelessly. A bed of one or two of all
sorts is interesting, but never pretty
floral display. Different varieties have
different periods of blooming even if
they are planted at the same time.
The commonest reds for that reason
when massed, so that spike blends
with spike, become astonishingly at
tractive.
las soon as the ground is in a con-
dition to be fitted in the early spring.
Gladioli may be planted. Late in
March, very frequently, the weather
clears for week, and one can put out
a dozen or SO, and these may be ex-
pected to bloom late in June. If the
weather turns cold after the planting,
they may be temporarily mulched
with straw. From this time on they
are to be planted regularly every two
weeks till the first of July. This will
give one a succession of blooms

man. now and for many years a resident of
Brooklyn made a visit to his old home this
summer. When his relatives We're informed
that he contemplated paying them visit,
he was deluged with letters requesting him
to bring over different articles of American
manufacture, and among the requests were
several for artificial flies. This somewhat
surprised him, in his youth the city of
Dublin was considered a great place for
their manufacture During his visit he in
VeStigated the matter and on his return to
New York reported that he could find only
one fly tier in the whole city of Dublin, and
that one being married woman and her
household duties taking much of her time,
she could pay little attention to her trade
She informed him that the Americans made
the larger part of the trout flies used in
Ireland. She also said that Germany had
been paying attention to this branch of
business for some time, but that German
flies were not good. The Germans are an
enterprising people, and are entering all
branches of trade, but their great fault
seems to be that they send out cheap ar
tces when they might find sale for higher
priced goods. The German-made flies that
come to this country seem to be par
with the cheap goods made here, and Amer
lean high grade fly tiers need have no fear
of German competition.
In Scotland there are still many good sal
mon fly tiers but they are gradually losing
their American trade. Many rich Ameri-
cans still import their salmon flies because
made so well here. They have not taken
the trouble to find out what improvements
have been made here in the past few years.
Then again, there are men, even among
anglers. who think that anything made in
England is better than home manufacture.
