Health is magnet which irresistibly
draws the man to the woman in 1ife's
mating time. Health does more than
TINT the skin with beauty; it puts music
into the voice and buoyancy into the
step, as well as happiness into the heart.
"A great many women covet beauty and
are constantly seeking aids to beautify
them. Let woman first seek perfect
health and all other charms shall be
added to her.
There can be no general health for
women while there is disease of the
delicate wornan1y organism. The first
step to perfect health is to cure wornanly
diseases by the use of DIR. Pierce's Fa-

The objection to the old dahlia was
it's lateness of bloom. By starting the
roots early in frame or in boxes
which are covered up at night the
plants may be had in flower earlier
than usual. They may be started in
April or at least three weeks in adj
vance of planting time.

If we had a timothy meadow which
we wished to plant to corn the coming
season and feared the ravages of the
cutworm, as there would be good rea-
son to do. we would not plow 1t until
the 10th of May, would keep the disk
and harrow at work on it up to the beth
and then plant. While this may seem
little late for planting, we had far
rather take the chances thus than to

A FLOWER PIT.


Growing Flowers In Winter.
There are many desirable winter
Towering plants that do not thrive in
| the dry heated air Of our sitting rooms
but for the accommodation of which a
| greenhouse is in many cases not at
tainable. All varieties of flowers. ex-
cept those requiring a high degree of
i heat, will develop most satisfactorily
in a pit If the latter is we'll drained
and so situated as to admit the sun
shine freely. The following instruc-
tions for making such pit were orig
inally given in the ST. Louis Republic:
1t need not be large, as pit or
feet wide by 10 feet in length will
house a large number of plants. If
possible, place it on the south side of
building or fence or against wind
break of evergreens. Dig it 4 or
feet deep, banking the earth high
| up on the back and sides, with quite
sharp slope to the surface of the
ground in front. Face it inside with
heavy tarred plank, but it is not neces-
sary to floor it. Arrange a few solid
shelves and a number of boxes for the
plants that need most room. Use rath-
er narrow sashes and arrange to have
them slide easily on their frames. I'm
less built upon a natural slope 1t will
be necessary to dig at one side small
cistern a few feet deeper than the pit
to drain off any water that may seep
in during very heavy rains or when the
| frost is going out of the ground. For
protection during very cold weather
old carpeting or mattress made of
sacking stuffed with excelsior or straw
and covered with tarpaulin or rub
Der blanket will be necessary. This
should be held down firmly around the
edges with boards
Such pit. which can be made at a
very small expense and does not even
require skilled labor. will enable the
amateur florist to produce very beau
tiful and perfect flowers all winter.
Tearoses. Chinese primroses. carna-
lions, violets. verbenas, jasmines, ferns
and numerous other species often give
better satisfaction grown in this way
than In regular dollhouse.
