modern hollyhock, and says it has been
favored with thirty two distinct forms
of the same through the courtesy of
the owner of a delightful garden.
AS a fancy flower the double varie-
ties are superior to the single; they
are much more effective and endure
longer. An average type of bloom is
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton of one of the best kinds of pinks.
There were many others, some of re-
markable dark-almost black shades,
while others again ranged into the pur-
est white, clear yellows and variega-
tons of white, buff and claret red were
also seen.
AS a garden plant the hollyhock is
valuable for the height to which 1t
grows, for it can be used effectively
in breaking the skyline. 1t is not over
fastidious. but will amply repay for
good feeding and ABUNDANT waterings
during dry spells. especially in the
early growing stages.
For best results plants should be put
out into well prepared, deeply dug soil,
giving manure at the time of planting
Set them three feet apart and at about
this time of year. Plants raised from
seed sown in spring will flower the
following summer. Once planted, the
old stools will continue throwing up
Towering shoots. as the root is peren-
NAL. Stock Of any particular varie-
ties may be increased by cuttings,
which root easily in pots.

POULTRY POINTERS.

The best eggs are the result of a
meat diet.
Weak legs come from forced growth,
high feeding and close confinement.
Use no deforned or weak fowls for
breeding and do not keep the same
cock more than one season
A nolting hen seldom lays. She can
not be supplying eggs while the strain
of growing new feathers is upon her.
A very rat hen seldom lays anything
but soft shslled eggs. Apoplexy and
egg bound are the result Of excessive
fat
Leaves and hay chaff make excellent
litter for the floors, and by throwing
grain among It fowls are often kept
busy scratching.
Keep the fowls away from the barns,
stables and carriage houses In such
places they are nuisances; besides they
are more comfortable in place BY
themselves.

phate 81 lime for their shells. and these

THE TROLLEY ROAD.

As q class farmers have not yet fully
awakened to the value OF trolley rail-
way system located SO as to be access
ible to their farms. They should. In
stead Of being asleep and Indifferent to
such enterprises, be the foremost in
promoting them. Instead Of reluctant
ly granting right of way for such a
road it should be cheerfuIly donated
and from $500 to $1,000 given as boz
nus to the builders. We have in mind
the results following the construction
of such a line last year. line sixteen
miles In length. 1t has practically dou-
bied the value of all farm land ada
cent to 1t and has made living In a
farm home located along the line Just
as desirable, to all intents and pur-
poses, as living in town and in many
respects more SO. II in your country
community there is any effort being
made to introduce this modern agricul-
turaI improvement, don't be an old
fogy and kicker. but Off with your coat
and do your level best to help secure It.
A QUEER FREAK
We have a friend who is the owner
Of a fine farm and In every way a
very successful farmer. The fit has
taken him that he would like to sell
bis farm and go into the dry goods
business Men get queer freaks on
business matters sometimes, but not
often as bad a freak as this. II there
Is any business on earth which man
needs a special training for 1t is the
dry goods business, and hardly q single
thing which our friend has been learn
ing the past twenty five years on the
farm would be of any use to him in
the buying and selling Of dry goods.
The radical change Of employment
from the farm into commercial lines
is hardly ever success, and in all
too many cases men step from the
peace and prosperity of farm life into
the fret, turmoil and ultimate failure
Of mercantile life. This may be said
to be the rule almost without excep-
tion.

POsT THE FARM.

Every year more and more land
owners are posting their farms-that
is. are notifying pot hunters with their
guns and dogs to keep Off their prem
ises in their pursuit OF game. We do
not blame any man for SO doing. No
other method VIII preserve even a
small remnant Of the wild game OF the
country. We would gladly give $40
each for six beyies Of quail If they
could be allowed to live unmolested on
our farm in a practical way for their
value as eaters of weed seeds and ex-
terminators Of noxious insect life and
In sentimental way because they are
the most engaging and attractive Of
any of our birds.

WHAT ALFALFA WILL DO.

A grower of alfalfa who has been in
the business for twenty years sums up
the merits of this plant as follows:
First, its feeding value in the form Of
hay is far superior to that Of any other
and nearly equal to corn. pound for
pound; second, its yield per acre is
much larger than any other tame
grass; third, 1t combines excellent pas
turage with its value as hay; fourth, It
Is one Of the best possible fertilizers of
the soil: fifth, once established In the
soil it viii last Indefinitely; sixth, ton
Of well cured alfalfa hay contains al
most as much protein as a ton of wheat
bran and is worth for feeding almost
as much. These facts ought to set men
to thinking and experimenting.

The scarcity Of low grade butter is a

1t was in this way that we discov-

so thrifty and looked SO well that we
were tempted to use them. At the
same time in the regular way asters
OF various kinds were sown in the
spring and transplanted. OF these we
had fine stock They fourished for
awhile, began to show their blossoms
and then began TO go off with the
fatal diseases. Not so the plants that

to the spring sown; they appeared
more vigorous and started in to throw
much larger flowers The autumn
sown plants were sturdy, came into
bloom a few days later. and while the
blooms have been all the season uni
formly good they have lacked the size
of well grown plants sown in the spring
and which have escaped these dis
eases. Any one wishing to repeat this
test win do well TO sow seed immedi-
ately.
The foregoing statement came orig
inally from the trial grounds of Ameri-

is Of so much timeliness and interest
as to warrant repetition.
