Foliage Plants,

We may luxuriate in tropical beau
ties during the hot summer months IL
we are willing to expend slight care
and expense now. Although it is not
often wise to recommend the large
growing foliage plants for the small
city back yards, very brilliant effects
may be secured for grouping In corners
and against the tail board fences,
without making the small space seem
crowded, and for suburban lawns
where limited space need not be so
carefully considered-there should be
at least one bed Of the gorgeous-leaved
foliage plants.
1t is surprising that these beauties
are so often neglected, when the plants
require so little care when once started
Into growth. There seems to be q
general impression that these large
beds Of brilliant-hued foliage are ex-
pensiVe, and should be found only
upon the lawns Of the wealthy.
II is not necessary, however, to in
clude the rare novelties-the gorgeous
"Alocasia Sunderland" of recent intro
duction; the newest variety Of crotons,
the novelties In rex begonias, ETC., etc:
there are plenty Of stately beauties
and brilliant border plants among the
foliage effects that are easily secured.

The Asparagus Bed.

We believe in moving the asparagus
bed in the fall and burning it over to
destroy the beetles, eggs and rust that
may be there. Others who have grown
much more of it than we have, pre-
fer to have the old stalks remain un-
til spring, as helping to hold the snow
on the bed. But in either case we
would cut out and carry away all the
seed-bearing plants before the seed
begun to fall. The little seedlings in
the old bed are no better than as many
weeds. If seedlings are wanted to set
a new bed, cut the stalks when the
seed Is nearly ripe, and hang them
up to ripen, and sow the seed in a
new bed from which it may be trans
planted at a year old. We like good
yearling plants better than two year
olds.-The Cultivator.

Money Made ia Garbage.

A problem that has engaged the at
tention Of the legislative bodies Of
most American cities is what to do
with the garbage-how to get rid Of
1t at the least expense to the public.
The city of Washington so dlsposes
Of its garbage that a profit is got out
Of it, while most other American cit
les-being less carefully governed
have to pay largely for It's removal.
There Is a contract with q company
which collects the garbage and dis
poses Of it. The garbage ls kept sep
arate from ashes and other refuse. In
iron tanks it is taken by rail thirty
miles down the Potomac to the reduc-
ton works. Here 1t is sorted. Tin
cans, bottles, ETC., are removed. The
rest is placed in q close iron vessel
and subjected to steam pressure, after
which 1t Is pumped into tanks and al
lowed to settle. Oils and fats rise to
the surface and, being SKINNED OF,
are sold to soapmakers. Under pres
sure more oil is obtained, to go the
same way. The caked garbage, after
pressure, is pulverized and sold for
fertilizer. Incidental profits arise
from the sale Of hides Of horses and
other animals and the manipulation OF
their carcasses along with the gar
oage. The horse hides make good rus.
get leather. A good monthly profit is
said to be realized.
