swelIed Heud.

The common complaint against tur-
keys this season has been that they
have been affected with swelled heads
and eyes. This is due to the damp
ness and cold winds at night, and, as
turkeys seek the tree limbs, they arc
exposed. IL the trees are protected by
a barn. house or wind break of some
kind. turkeys will usually suffer but
little. but where not thus protected the
roup will surely make its appearance
at some time during the winter

The roots may be dug at any time
after September. the later the better.
They need not be stored during the
winter In fact. they win usually be
better If left in the ground and re-
moved only as needed. They are not
injured by frost and may be taken up
with pickax if the soil is frozen hard.
They will generally be found to dete-
riorate as the growing season advances,
but may be used up TO and even after
the appearance of the leaves. A dozen
roots should be plenty to start with.
After they are once established the
only attention they VIII need will be
an occasional dressing Of fertilizer and
the prevention of their spreading to
contiguous parts of the garden. This
may be easily accomplished by digging
a trench about the width of the spade
around the patch and removing all
horse radish roots in it before return
ing the earth to the trench.

HOW TO GROW TIE PEoNN
The Right Way to Treat This Spleen
did Old Garden Fayoritc.


did Old Garden Fayorite.
1t is seldom that the grand old herba-
ceous peony is seen In as fine q con-
dition as it is capable of. 1t Is q COM
mon plant about many country homes,
but it is uncommon to find it treated
as 1t should be, according to such good
authority as Joseph Meehan, who has
told in Country Gentleman the proper
way of managing it:
The best Of all places for this plant
is one that is quite damp and having
a good depth of soil In fact, the loea-
ton may be one too wet for many
plants and still suit the peony. One Of
the thrifticst collections of these plants
l ever saw was situated in what had
been a springy plat Of ground, made
serviceable by running a ditch through
it. 1t suited them admirably, just as
1t would have done japanese irises.
Let the ground, then, be deep, rich
and wet to have thrifty peonies.
The spring is so generally considered
the time for all kinds Of planting that
the peony is oftener planted then than
at any other time, but 1t is not the best
time for it. Early fall Is very much
better Peonies commence to grow
early in spring, and any disturbance Of
the roots at that time results In q loss
of flowers for that season. 1t is a
plant not easily killed, no matter when
planted, but If flowers are looked for
the utmost care is required in trans
planting it in spring. Early faH-eyen
as early as September-is the best
time. New roots will then form before
winter comes, and unless the plants
are very small flowers will be pro-
duccd in spring.
Peonies are easily propagated by d.
viding the roots. If large plant Is
dug up, there will be seen several red
dish looking eyes near the last seasons
flower stems. Each of these eyes will
make a plant, IL piece of root can be
had with it. The plant should be
washed or shaken free of soil and
then divided, strong pocketknife be-
ing sufficient for the purpose. A plant
SO divided will not bloom for year or
two, but if divided less close, leaving
three or four eyes to plant and done
early in fall, should hope for flowers
from it the next spring.
The single Powered sorts have been
popular of late years. Many florists
grow them for the purpose of using
the cut flowers for decorative work,
for which they are in much demand.
Certainly a mass of these flowers on
the plant or in a vase makes a gor-
geous display. To me the double ones
are preferable, and, like all double
flowers, they do not decay as soon as
single ones.
New sorts are produced from seeds,
and seedlings do not bloom under some
half dozen years. Seeds saved from
double or semidouble flowers rarely
come double again. The single ones,
which are usually the product, are Of
ten very beautiful A few may be
semidouble and now and again one
will be quite double.

CHRYsANTHEMUM YELLOW FITzWYGRAM.
a deeper shade than Mrs. Bassett and
not SO bright as Marion Henderson.
The plant has a stronger constitution
than Lady Fitzwygram, but its chief
merit is found in its being the earliest
of the yellows-a fine companion for
the latter variety and Nine. Bergman.
The Fitzwygrams can easily be had in
bloom the last week of September
and even as early as the Dist Of that
month when early cuttings are used
and the buds taken by July %. Most
failures with Lady Fitzwygram arise
from neglect in these two important
particulars. 1t is the most beautifully
formed of all the earlies. lacking the
stiffness of the Bergman type, says

Glover seems to be the plant that
poultry delight most TO indulge in Ii
contains elements for the growth of
bone. feathers and muscle in young
stock. and production of eggs with
hens. 1t is excellent for hens during
melting. making them more able to
stand the strain on their system. Care
and attention should be given to the
curing of clover; too much exposure
to the sun should be avoided. The
object in view is to keep the leaf green
and in its natural state as long as
possible. Glover or clover rowen
should be cut when just beginning TO
bloom, or just before this time. when
there is a profusion Of tender, green
leaves. In curing the clover, would
put 1t up In piles or good sized punches,
and allow it to so through a curing or
sweating process. opening ii a little
each day, and turning the whole pile
completely over, so as to dry the bot
tom, which gathers moisture from the
ground. would cover at night and
during any rainstorm. Glover that is
cured in the shade will best retain its
favor. 1t may require several days
or week to put 1t in condition to go
to the barn; this depends much on the
weather.-V. NJ. Crouch In Poultry

Hardy shrubs as winter BIoomers.


Hardy Shrubs as Winter BIoomers.
Hardy shrubs, such as flower early in
the spring out Of doors, make excellent
plants for winter Towering indoors.
Young, small and strong plants should
be taken up and potted any time be-
fore the ground freezes. AS long as it
is not too cold they can be kept in a
sheltered situation out Of doors and
later should be brought into the house,
cellar or other cool place. Then a
few at a time, as desired, can be
brought to heat and light in a warm
room where they will grow and come
into bloom. Among plants for this
purpose are the lilacs. weigelas, spireas,
deutzias, daphnes, fersythia, Japa-
nese SNOWFALL. etc.

Use Of PouItry Manure

The quantity of poultry manure to
apply depends upon the nature of the
soil. If broadcasted on the land and
well worked into the soil with har-
row or rake, as much as 1000 pounds
per acre may be used. Damage from
its use occurs mostly when applied to
crops in the hill and lack of rain. We
have never seen too much used; the
difficulty has been that farmers use too

Carnations Inside or Out OF the
House.

House,
AT the recent convention of the Car
nation society a well known grower,
Mr.. Ward, remarked that his expert
ence with plants grown inside was
that he had not got as many flowers
as from those grown outside. If be
wanted to get large, strong plants, he
would leave them out late, say to the
end of October, thereby getting a lar
ger cut than when brought in the 1st
of August, but the quality was net
there. He intended to plant seven
houses with stock to be grown inside
all summer. The idea of putting plants
out little while in the early part Of
the season was q good one and one he
would adopt with three or four houses.
lie did not expect to cut as many fiow-
ers from inside plants as from those
grown outside and lifted.
