An E0ectIve Decorntion.

The Japanese fern balls, which are n
comparatively recent innovation, are
becoming n part Of the usual window
and conservatory decoration. A shady
window IS needed for them, one on the
northeast or northwest side Of the
house being best. Because they grow
toward the light to keep them symmet-
rical their position must be changed
every day, different sides being placed
next the window. By turning them
bottom side up after they are well
started n perfect sphere IS obtained.
Like all plants suspended In the air,
they should be kept wet, being watered
not less than twice n day. If the moss
begins to look dry, they should be inn
medlately plunged into lukewarm wa
ter and drained over n pail Once the
foliage begins to wither there Is little
hope for the plant.
This Japanese fern Is n running plant
in its faraway home country, the roots
thriving on old stumps or almost any
thing that comes in its way. With the
japanese love for oddities they wrap
these brown roots around n ball of
moss and make the fern ball for the
dedication of foreigners as well as
themselves.
Like all plants, they need a period of
rest, and cool, dark cellar is the best
place for them In winter. With the va
rlations Of this climate a yeranda is not
we'll suited TO them.

A New DiseRse.

The veterinarians of the North Da-
kota experiment station have called
the disease which results from feeding
mllet hay to horses as an exclusive
ration, causing a stiffness of the joints,
by the name Of "millet hay rheuma-
tism." Perhaps the name is an appro-
pirate one. hut we think from what we
have seen reported of such cases that it
comes very near being Inflammation Of
the kidneys. At least some of the
symptoms are of that character, as
thev have been described. We have
never seen a case of 1t and do not like
INLET well enough to grow and feed it
when we think we know surer crops
that are worth more when grown. But
who knows how many cases Of rheu-
matism may arise from disease of the
kidneys or more than one disease!

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
A DnRndII Luncheon.

A dalrodil luncheon sounds not less
attractive than It proves in reality.
Naturally at flower feast all the dish
as chosen must bear out the color Of the
decoration. With daffodlls we are
therefore restricted to yellows and
white and a judlcious intermingling Of
not toe pronounced green.
You must have white tablccloth, Of
course, and n center Of soft liberty silk
or gauzc Of pale yellow tone. This
should be lightly pulled into the shape
Of the petals Of the dalfOdil, having
bowl In the middle swathcd in silk Of Il
deeper shade. This bowl Is filed with
large group Of mixed narcissuScs. Long,
slender tubes Of green or pure white
glass can be disposed ut distances upon
the table, as individual taste indicates,
these being filed with various daffodils
and narcissuscs, with their own green
and cut with long stalks. Bear In mind
that the flower chosen Is tall and that
its habit Is to grow upright Therefore
1t must always be placed 50, never fiat
or lying down nor yet dumped in'O
bowls minus most OF its stalk.

Thinning Sheen to Grnss.

Perhaps sheep suffer quite as much
when first pat to grass unless fed
grain as at any season. 1t is well to
take the trough to the fields, for q
small ration of grain will give them a
better start on grass. Many put the
sheep to grass too early. In this case
a weakness in the wool is observable.
If a small piece is taken between the
thumb and finger of each hand and
pulled, it will often break at the begin
ming of the growth made at time of

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Plaster For Potato Seed.


II used to he Il custom for farmers
who believed land plaster or gypsum
was a fertilizer for potatoes to give the
seed a good coating of plaster after it
was cut and before it was dropped. II
was quickly done 10y throwing n shov-
elful or more into the barrel and letting
il shake down among them. Few
practice this now, hut the Ontario sta
ton tried some this way and found
that it produced 1Slla bushels of pota-
toes to tie acre, while from seed not so
treated they obtained only 100 bushels.
a gain of 26ia bushels per acre, and the
larger crop was also of much better
quality. The theory is that the plaS-
ter prevents the cut surface from dry
inr up and thus gives more vitality to
the plants. Fifty-threc farmers tested
planting potatoes as quickly as cut by
the side of some cut five days before.
The average from seed just cut was
over 10 bushels per acre and from
seed cut five days before 1912 bushels.
