held liable for violating the law which
has been on the statute books for so
many years Burt has been away from
the Indian country for five years, but
his eighteen years experience on the

pisbudding chrYsanthemums.

The very large chrysanthemums
blooms with which the florist excites
the admiration and envy of the anna
teur gardener are largely the result of
disbudding. The process is very
simple one, consisting merely in the
removal of the greater part of the buds
on plant, whose energy is thus con-
centrated in the development of the
few buds remaining. In most varie-
ties, the terminal bud of each branch
should be retained, and as soon as
they can possibly be handled sill the
other. buds are rubbed off When the
end bud is not larger than a buckshot
is a good time to disbud.
In some kinds, the terminal, or end,
bud "goes blind" and from its base
three almost equal shoots push and
soon grow beyond the terminal bud.
In these cases the topmost lateral
should beselected and the others pinch
ed out with the terminal.
When the plants are grown for dec
orative purposes rather than for cut
flowers, it will be found preferable to
leave from two to five flowers on each
stem. The individual flowers will not
be so large, but the plant as whole,
will present n much better appearance.
With this object in view the terminal
bud should always be removed, and the
buds Immediately below it-three on
each stem is best-should be retained.
By taking out the terminal bud the
others will develop more evenly, reach
ing full bloom at about the same time.
Plants grown in the garden should
be potted by the time the first buds APP
pear, and should be given liquid ma
nure once week until the color of the
bloom appears in the foremost flower,
after which nothing but water should
be applied. The chrysanthemums is a
gross feeder, aud best results are OBJ
tanned in rich pottlng soil.

Exhales from children as fragrance from

Exhales from children as fragrance from
flowers. The little lips are always puck
cred to give or take kiss. In homes
where there are children, love reaches
its fairest and sweetest proportions. In
childless homes the kiss of wife and
husband grows formal, and presently is
neglected the springs of love in the
heart become choked for want of use
and exercise. Childlessness is a great
sorrow to many women. 1t is like a
curse from Nature, who bids all crea-
lures to be fruitful. 1t is not a curse
but a misfortune. Often the conditions
which cause childlessness are removable.
