How to Keep Nasturtiums Blooming

The surface soil should be kept loose
during the summer to encourage the
growth of nasturtium vines and retain
moisture in the soil. NaSturtiums
need more care in training than sweet
peas, as they have no tendrils to cling
with.
Nasturtiums are very effective, as the
leaves are bright green and the flowers
Of such lively shades of yellow, brown
and crimson that the contrasts are very
fine. If planted where they may he
trained over any object about the
grounds suitable for the purpose, they
make very pleasing effect.
There are two strains of climbing
nasturtiums which are much grown,
the first known as lObbianum and the
second as tall nasturtiums The for
mer have smaller flowers, but are more
prOfuse boomers than the latter; but
both are good.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole sys-
tenn when entering it through the mucous sur
faces. Such articles should never be ed ex-
cept on prescriptions from reputable physi-
clans, as the damage they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive from them.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by f. J..
Cheney Co., Toledo, O., contains no mer-
curry, and is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure be
sure you get the genuine. 1t is taken inter
nally, and made in Toledo, Ohio by F. J..
Cheney & Co. Testimonials free.

The report that most of the remaining
taxes levied in 1898 to meet the extra
expenditures neeessitated by the Spanish
war will be removed in the approaching
session OF congress may turn out to be
true. A cut on the imposts of tobacco,
beer and whisky will be urged, and as
the surplus persists, notwithstanding
the reduction in taxation made in the
recent congress, another reduction ia
likely to take place within the next few
months. There has been a heavy drop
in expenditures OF the government. and
the present indications are that the sur
plus will amount to $SO,OOO,OOO or
800, 100000 by the end OF the fiscal
year, June 80 next, if the existing taxes
are maintained till that time. The sur

THE SPIREAS.
Of Easy Culture and Hardy-Tbe
Lance Leaved Variety,

Of Easy Culture and Hardy - The
Lance Leaved Variety
The true spirRas are all desirable
low growing, extremely hardy shrubs
They are of the very easiest culture
and remain many years in good CON
1ition when once established. The sea
son for Towering for the different
varieties runs from the middle of Nav
10 nearly September, while the colors
vary from pure white to deep crimson
IN Anthony Waterer, the new variety
f the pink Japan series, s. bumalda.
Spir@as are so varied In character
that it is not easy to settle on the
variety one really prefers, says Rural
New Yorker. The double Towering
form of SpirRa lanceolata is often
cataiGgued as S. reevesi When this
inc sort blooms in June, we ALWAYS
think it the best Of all, but popular
preference Is usually given to the ele-
CANT S. van hOuttei, Towering a week
Or two earlier. This is a variety of
garden origin and is supposed to be a
hybrid. 1t is one Of the most beautiful
Of all hardy shrubs when its dropping
branches are hidden with great clusters
Of snowy blossoms. The flowers are
single, however, and the petals fall
readily, which is not good for cutting.
S. lanceolata, especially in the pre-
ferred double form, is acceptable both
as a garden and cut flower. When in
bloom, the plant is completely covered
with little white rOselike flowers. The
blooming period lasts nearly two
weeks, and the plant always presents
a neat appearance from the symmetric-
| al arrangement of its narrow foliage.
Bud Moth Injuries the Apple Crop.
Commenting on unexpected injury in
apple orch; rds, a New York grower
says in American Agriculturist: The
trouble is caused by the bud moths, the
larvae of which are eating the section
partly or entirely off Immediately be-
low the place where the apple stem
grows. TIL apples are from a foot to
a much greater distance apart. Many
other orchards are in the same condi-
| ton.
The bud moth has been with us for a
long time, but never before has it in
jured our crop after the blossoming
time. Fruit growers have thought they
were masters Of the situation and could
raise apples in spite of the insects, but
| many have made up their minds within
4 couple of weeks past that there is yet
something to learn. l hear Of a few
| orchards that have set fairly good
| crops No effort has been made to
| fight this pest. 1t never has troubled

Last winter | Kept SOW with young

rie Farmer. When the pigs were about
a month old. she began roofing in a
manner that. | presume, is familiar
to most of your readers who have sows
under similar conditions About this
time began to feed alfalfa hay to
my other hogs. This SOW received her
share, and in less than three days she
stopped her roofing and did not begin it
again. q sure indication that the wants
of her system were supplied. The past
week | cut my alfalfa. intending to
pasture hogs on the second crop Hogs
running on blue grass pasture came
around the wagon and ate the falling
hay with such avidity that they were
given a liberal feed, which they ate
up so clean as to prove clearly the
value of the hay as a summer feed.

well to pasture of the next crop as to
cut and feed it cured.
Fodder Instead of Hay.
The corn shredder more than any
modern machine has done more to
hiring the farmer to realize the fact
that she has been wasting an Immense
amount OF feed. says Prairie Farmer
When the hay crop Is short the farmer
With long crop OF corn can cut 1t up
with harvester and shred it at the
right time, and the shredded feed
makes very good substitute for hay,
and, in fact many farmers and stock
raisers are now selling their hay crop
and are using corn fodder or straw in
its place

Diseases of the Feet.

The feet of fowls should be looked
after, and any serious injury corrected:
by proper treatment. Cuts and cracks
may rapidly heal, or they may become
scenters of Inflammation, which cause
lanleness. Such infamed spots are hot
and swollen. To allay the inf1amma-
ton hold the foot in water as hot as
the bird can bear, then apply to the
injured surface an ointment composed
of boric acid part and vaseline &
parts. The feet OF fowls are subject
to corns, due largely to narrow 'perches
See that the latter are broad and fiat
Corns become greatly aggravated pro-
ducing a condition known as humble
foot. The affected part is hot, painful
and swollen, or the swelling may sup
purate, which when it breaks causes an
ugly sore. Soak the foot in hot water
to reduce the Inflammation, then apply
q fax seed pou1tice. When the in
Illumination is reduced apply the boric
acid ointment Keep the foot band
aged. II the swelling has formed
an abscess, open the same with a sharn
knife previous to the above treatment.
