Philadelphia Ledger: Away out in the
south Pacific ocean, where white men
rarely are seen, there lies a little coral
atoll known as Hikueru atoll. It is differ.
lent from most coral atolls of which you
read in your geography, for it is a solid
ring of coral and the lagoon inside of it
can be entered only by dragging boats
over the beach.
This lagoon is one Of the most valuable
pearl-shell lagoons and is sought every
year by the jewellers on Tahiti and other
islands of the south seas to fish for
pearls.
The French government, which owns
the atoll, has forbidden the use Of div
ing suits because it is feared that this
method would prove too destructive to the

often use them with effect in holding their

Lilies for Farm Grounds.
The writer is a constant advocate Of tia
characterization of farm grounds; not nee
essariaNy expensive ornamentation, but
the setting Of plants that are more or less
hardy, according to location, so that one
may have increased beauty In the bios
ssns as the years go by. Lilies are among
the best OF hardy bulbs for the border on
a farm and, after the first expense, are
SO cheap that there should not be a farm
home without its lily border. The Illus
traton shows two Of the best of the
hardy sorts. the upper blossom being l.

brum- The first named is well known for
its pure white flowers with crimson spots
and Its line of golden yellow running
through the centre OF each petal. 1t is a

hewer from June to October. Rubrum,
also known as the scarlet turban lily,

fatum. Bulbs may be set in October or
November in rich, wen-drained soil and

the fan, particularly If they follow the
plan Of summer pinchtng back. The idea
is in fall pruning to cut back canes that
are making a very rapid growth which Is
not likely to mature before cold weather.
If cut back in the fall these canes will
heal over and are not likely to winter kill
a great deal. In sections where the win
tiers are severe and the canes are likely
to kill back during the winter the fall
pruning may not be desirable, unless, as
stated. the growth Is not likely to ma
ture before cold weather. Under such con-,
ditions the pruning may be left undone
until spring when one can readily de-
termine how much to cut back by the
length of cane that has been winter killed.
Bronchitis in Calves.
The wet season in many sections Of the
country irresponsible for the trouble in
calves known as lung worms. The worm
is small and ~thread-nke and gets into the
windpipe Of the calf. The trouble is
thought to be due largely to the calves
drinking from ponds which contain the
eggs Of the worms and also from pastur-
Ing or wet grounds. There is, at present.
no remedy which may be relied upon so
that the best plan Is to prevent the trou-
BILE, If possible, and this can best be done
by keeping the calves in a. warm dry
barn and seeing that the water they drink
is from q well and as pure as possible.
They should not be allowed to pasture
! until the grass is dry nor should wet grass
be fed to them. The plan of injecting oil
OF turpentine into the. windpipe Is not very
satisfactory, but 1t is the best thing known
and In some cases has proved satisfactory.
