the case better) that they cannot
raise them satisfactorily in an ordin-
airy window, can raise them in the fol-
lowing way:
Use an aquarium or fernery,-it
does not ma tier whether it is water
tight or not for this use. If it is not
provided with pan to hold the soil,
one can be made of tin or zinc at any
tin shop. If one prefers the pan can
be dispensed with and the BegOnias
set in the fernery in the pots they
are growing in.
When the cover is placed over them
the moist air is just what they need
and they grow as beautifully as when
i'm "a greenhouse. The dust cannot
reach them and they are safe from
the bad effects of furnace heat, gas or

anything else that would hinder their
growth.
They need a little air every day, the
cover being removed entirely or raised
a little at one side. They do not need
to be watered oftener than once in
two weeks if planted in box, but if
left in pots little oftener. When the
moisture gathers thickly on the inside
Of the glass, it is best to take off the
cover for little while as it may be
SO damp as to cause the plants to rot.
Inside the glass case the Begonas
grow rank and color up beautifully

Something About Pansies.

Since my Last writing l have been
making my pansy bed for next years
bloom. For this purpose [ planted
seed in boxes, in rich, light, fine soil.
The earth was kept quite wet at first
as drying off is sure to kill some of
the seeds beginning to terminate, but
when the plants appear great care
must be taken not to keep the earth
too wet as the plants are liable to
damp off, neither should it be al
lowed to get too dry, for if so the
remainder of the seed will not ger
inmate. Some prefer sowing the seed
in shady corner in the open ground
but I find the seeds are slow to ger
inmate and the percentage of plants is
smaller than when sown in boxes.
When the plants are about an inch
high, which ought Ito be about the Sec
ohd week in September, transplant to
a partially shaded spot where they are
to grow, in very rich, light soil. I
work the earth over with my hands to
the depth of a foot before hoeing in
the manure, which should be well
rotted The earth should be very fine
and there should be no Jumps larger
than walnuts after the dressing is
mixed in. When transplanting, do not
disturb the roots of the plants remov-
ing ball of earth with each plant if
possible. Cover with straw litter in
winter.
If large flowers are wanted they
must not be allowed to perfect seeds.
After the plants have been Towering
for some time pinch them back if they
are still growing vigorously and it
will prolong the blooming season.
When it lis not convenient to make
the bed in the fall fine plants can be
had by sowing seed in the house in
February. These plants must be kept
cool, as a pansy disEkes heat, have
plenty of air and root room, trans
planting into larger pots as they in
crease in size, but double care must be
taken not to distrub the smallest
rootlet. Water with liquid manure,
transplant to the ground as early as
possible and give the same care as
those wintered over. There are many
varieties of pansies but they all being
pretty one cannot go astray in choos-
ing seed. I have an old bed of purple
pansies and blue forget-me-nots that

months. advise setting the two to-

Success With Cacti.

Cactus withstands the dry and heat
ed atmosphere of room and their
demands for attention are so slight
that they may be left for weeks with
out a drop of water, while when
planted out they hardly require any
attention. 1t is not surprising that
they are favorites, yet one to derive
the most pleasure in the cultivation
of these curiosities of plant-existence
should have collection, and the salts
faction which may be derived from
the study and beauty of the lovely
flowers produced by the Cacti, is GER
tain1y worth having and seeing, es-
pecially in the cold stormy days of
winter.
The majority are. easily grown, and
any one who can devote a small space
in their window may grow them sue
cessfully. Many of the flowers possess
most pleasant fragra nee, and vary
much in size as well as in colors. The
best general plan is to give them cool
and dry treatment during the winter,
bic or shelf near window if the
plants are safe from frost is the best
position, where they are exposed to
the light and have a dry atmosphere.
If the plants are then given a moder-
ate share of attention I'M regard to the
supply of water, there are very few of
the Cacti family that win not thrive
and bloom.
Phyllocactus can be grown with
great success. Cereus, Echinocactus,
Opuntia, and Mamallarias are we'll
adapted for rooms and have an at
tractive appearance. AS to- soil they
can all be grown satisfactorily in or
dinary ioam and sand, provided
enough sand is used to make the
whole thoroughly porous. A small
proportion of lime may be added for
the Cereus and Opuntia type. Charcoa.
finely crushed and mixed with the

ough drainage, at least from one
fourth to one-half of the depth Of the

the purpose very we'll. Under this
system mentioned very little water is
needed, on the whole it is more easy
to judge by appearance of the plant
if water is needed. If the plant seems
to be Plump and full no water is need
ed, but if there is a Slight approach to
laXness water should be given. The
strong, free-fowering species may be
assisted with a little weak liquid-ma>
nure, when growing and approaching
the Towering stage.
Plants just received and that have
but few roots must be potted in clear,
coarse sand, which, should be kept
moist, and they may be allowed 10 re-

Two months from the day General

Free State has been foolish enough to

any man. 1 have lived among them
and. have fought them. To exist
peacefully so close to them Is an ut
ter impossibility. Negotiations are
well enough in their way, but British
control of the Transvaal must come
eventually. For years the Beers have
been crying: Throw the Outlander In
to the sea-, and out with him.. Pos
sibly they are not so vile as during the
last war, but there is little difference.
My idea is that IL the Beers were
caught in the open once or twice the
thing would be ended. Kill five hum
dred of them and all that would re-
main for England to do would be to
send a few shiploads OF Grape. They
never have Stood in the open, and II

States 1t is understood that 10000 will
be purchased altogether, but as 1t will
take at least a month to get them to
Africa and similar time to get an

that big operations will be impossible
until toward the end of October.
