during the past six years has made an
expert analysis of the chrysanthemum
plant at the state of maturity, and
finds that it contains ingredients in
the following per cents: Potash, 1923;
soda, 1899; lime, 1928; magnesia,
1922; phIosphoric acid, 1882; iron
oxide, $3.50; sulphuric acid, 4.65; silica,
500, and chlorine, 1856. The data thus
given show that if healthy, vigorous
and richly blooming plants are to be
grown, the plant food supplies must
be of "a, complete mature and in a form
easily assimilated for sustenance and
niourishment. Guano should prove,
therefore, to be one of the most useful
of mnnures, and bone meal will supply
the phosphorus needed. l would sug-
gest that the base of the soil used be
composed of loose sod taken from the
surface of an old pasture. Add to this
"a fourth part of we'll rotted cow ma
nure. a peck of bone meal to every
cart load of soil and an equal amount
of guano. This, we'll mixed and filled
in the beds, makes add ready for set
ting out the plants. Other lnanures,
such as iron nitrate of soda and am
monia, will be required, but are better
applied in liquid form, when plants
are more firmly established. The
plants should be set out three rows in
each bed and sixteen plants to the

Shading Newly Set Plants.

Plants often need to be shaded from
the sun for day or two after trans
planting to the open ground; this Is
especially true of tender seedlings
which feel the effects Of removal much
more than rooted cuttings. When al
lowed to become wilted by the sun,
several days must eIapse before they
recover from the effects of the setback,
SO it is best to shade them artifcially
whenever possible.
The best device [ have seen for this
purpose is a homemade one; it was
large pieces Of fiat pasteboard, evident
ly the top and bottom of boxes with
the sides remoxed. Near the center of
each piece was stick Is to IS inches
long, fastened by means of a small
nail; the stick was pushed into the
ground by the side of the plant, the
whole forming a parasol to protect 1t.
When only limited number of plants
need this protection at the same time,
this plan works nicely.
I we'll remember some years
ago the man Of our house was
setting out cabbage plants on a
cloudy day; before the work was
completed the sun came out and
the plants began to show the eff
fects of it, so it seemed necessary to
shade them. He looked around for
something to protect them with, and
seeing what he thought was Plantain
leaves, picked them all, covering cab
bage with each one and fastening it
down with lump of dirt. It proved
to be a Day Lily, however, that was
robbed of all it's leaves, and the feel
ings of the woman of the house can
be better imagined than described.
If large lot of plants require shad-
ing at the same time and are all in
one bed large screen can be made to
cover them. Make frame of the re-
quired size of slender sticks and stretch
burlap or muslin over it; at each end
make legs for it to stand on, having
the lower ends pointed so they will
stick into the ground easily. If desir-
ed the legs can be fastened with hing
es like those Of a folding table, and
when out of use it can be folded up
and put away in small space.
These screens made with legs five or
six feet high are often used in hot,
dry sections to place over Dahlias at
the time of towering; the plants can
then be we'll watered, and as the hot
sun is kept off the plants get the full
effect of the water and do much better
than when exposed to all sorts Of
weather.-Mayfiower.

Undertake ito make the growing Of
chrysanthermums ia special feature
something apart from all other flow
ers in the garden. DO not mix them
in with other flowers, for the reason
THAT the system of culture herein de
scribed is peculiarly fitted to the
NUM- and NO other flower. Select G
spot in the garden, not closer to any
tree than fifty feet, if possible, fol
while the foliage may at no time
shade the beds, the spreading roots
running in the direction of cultivated
beds will sap the strength of the sol
to the detr'iment of fine flowers. A
spot we'll proitec ted, yet open to sun
shine about two thirds of the day, is
most desirable. [ Recommend chrysan-
themu+m culture in exposed beds rath
er than in pots, because it only re
quires about half the work. 1t is bet
ter suited, therefore, to the limited
Sme of housewife or amateur.

HAY CROP OVER THE AVERAGE
Recent Rains Beneht wyoming Crops
Very Much-Ranges Are In
Splendid Condition.

CHEYENNE. Wyo., Aug. 9.-(Special.)--
The Wyoming section Of the climate and
crop service today issued the following sum-
mary Of crop and weather conditions In
Wyoming for the week ending today:
The temperature OF the week has averaged
slightly below the normal, although the
weather has not been too cool for good
growth. Showers occurred during the week
in many localities and over the southern
portion OF the state the rainfall was heavy.
Haying continued during the week, but
owing to the frequent rains was much de-
layed. The hay crop along the Little Lara
mic river is reported damaged considerably
by the rain. A light hay krop is reported
from the vicinity OF Fort Washable. Gen
orally throughout the state the hay crop Is
reported to be over the average. The week
has been favorable for grain and gardens.
The late rains, with favorable temperatures,
have improved vegetation Of all kinds. The
rains have also improved the ranges and
kept them green and growing. In the
vicinity OF Cheyenne ranges are better than
at any previous time during the season.
Reports from various parts OF the state
are that ranges are in excellent condition
and stock doing well.

FIX THE PRICE OF ZINC ORE
Miners Association Stoves 1t Up on
the Smelters-Predict Still
Higher Prices.

JOPLIN, Mo-, Aug. 9.-The climax OF the
Missouri-kansas Zinc Miners association
fight against the smelters for higher prices
for zinc was reached today, when the as
ISOLATION announced that 1t had made the
prices for all grades of zinc ore for the
next six months. This means prices for
about 49, 00, 900 worth of zinc ore. Hereto
fore the schedule Of prices has been made
weekly.
Six months ago, when the Zinc Miners as
ISOLATION was not fully organized, the
smelters made the prices, and bought up the
zinc ore at such prices as they saw fit to
pay. Since the association organized prices
of ore have almost doubled.
The schedule OF the ensuing half year
makes the price for ore running 63 per
cent metal SAG per ton, and for every 1 per
cent less metal 81 less per ton. The zinc ore of
this district generally runs from so to So
per cent metal. 1t is predicted that high
grade zinc ore will 90 to $50 within a month.
