VIM. Grimshaw of Minneapolis, who was
at Benson the day Of the recent great
blizzard, writes for the readers Of I h
j ourna a graphic description OF what
a blizzard really is. The effete eastern
imitation will please take notice of the
superiority Of the genuine article. Mr..
Grimshaw says that we who are east of
the big woods know nothing Of the ex-
IRENE cold and fury of the blizzard. 1.-THE
snow" he says, lis ground finer than
the finest -four, and the roar and noise
of the storm is indescribable. e& "a

NEARLY all Of the farmers had clothes

long enough by ten feet to reach to the

Women Electrical Workers.

Il MOTHER industry into which
~ women are going is that Of
Il n making electrical apparatus,
and because it is comparatively modern,
they have, at starting, more nearly
an even chance with men than in most
other linese. In lamp work especially
more women are now employed than
anyone would suppose until an investi-
cation had been made. and this is be-
cause, perhaps, Of the manual dexterity
needed.
The dizziness Of woman's fingers is
especially valuable in the delicate oper-
ations of inserting the tiny wires and
ilaments.
The preliminary washing of the glass
globes, which must be spotlessly clean
is another job most generally intrusted
to women and girls. It is said that
when paid by the piece woman makes
generally more than man in many OF
these operations, because of the greater
rapidity with which she works. ....

TREATMENT OF PLANTS

"HE love of plants and of caring
for them is SO thoroly ingrained
in many housewives that they
will go to the greatest pains to keep a
few sturdy specimens growing in the
window. just about now they are be-
ginning to look for the rewarding of
their labors in blossoms. Eben E. Rex
ford, in American Homes and. Gardens,
makes some helpful suggestions for the
treatment Of window plants at this
critical time. He says: +
Now is the proper time to apply
good Notwithstanding that will
have an immediate effect on the buds
and result in large, fine flowers rather
than the development of branches.
Many fertilizers that are prompt and
satisfactory in action can be bought at
the florist g. But for those who are
in touch with the country there is moth
ing better-nothing SO good, in fact
as liquid fertilizer, made by soaking
old cow manure in water until the lat
ter Is the color Of weak tea. This ap-
piled literally once week will give a
bountiful crop of fine flowers from most
plants adapted to culture in the window
garden.
1t is an easy matter to injure plants
by over watering at this season. Growth
Is generallynot very active, and plant
not making active growth does not re-
quire much water. Evaporation takes
place slowly: Therefore, If much water
is applied the soil retains more mois.
ture than the plant growing in it car
make good use of, and the result is a
souring of the earth, which brings on
a diseased condition Of roots, frequently
resulting in death, and always making
the plant a disappointment. To guard
against such condition be careful in
the use Of water at this period. Give
only enough to make-and keep-the
soil moist. This can be done by apply
ing liberal amount at first and holding

large number Of garments have been
given to needy ones during the month.
a. woman friend sent dollar to help
someone. Mr.. Petran, dealer jim coal
and wood, and a good friend of the
branch, sent load out by the branch.
One member Of the branch took two
children to the theater and it was the
first time they had ever been to any
thing Of the kind. The branch sent a
barrel Of magazines, 300 in all, to the
lumbermen in the woods and also 100
magazines to, the city hospital, and
thirty to people id. the country who
cannot readily obtain reading matter.
The branch is growing very rapidly
and every member is imbued with the
true sunshine spirit.

back second application until the sur
face of the soil looks dry. Then give
another liberal application and wait for,
the dry look before giving more. i,
It is necessary to- conquer insect \
pests. The aphis is easily routed by
the use of an infusion of sulpho-tobac-
co soap applied in a spray. Moisture
applied constantly will also destroy the
red spider.
The plants in the window ought to be
shifted from time to time, that all Of
them may have an equal chance at the
sunshine. If not turned frequently,
they become one-sided, as their branches
and leaves will always reach out toward
the light. An unsymmetrical plant isl
never pleasing.
DO not overcrowd your windows.
Have only as many plants in them as
you can find ample room-and that
| means elbow-room-for. No plant can
isdo, itself justice if it is not given an
opportunity to develop itself naturally,
and that it can not do if crowded. Keep
in mind the fact that one really fine,
| symmetrical specimen will afford vastly
more pleasure than a score Of dwarfed
ones, and thin out your collection until
/ those that remain have all the room
! they need.
Avoid frequent and great alterations
of temperature. Seventy degrees by
day is quite enough heat for your
plants, and you will be all the healthier
If you do not let the living room tenn
perature go above that figure. At night
! it may go down to SIS, or even so. But,
do not let these changes take place
/ abruptly. A great change of tempera-5
ture happening suddenly will often in,
.jure delicate plant almost as much
as a touch of frost.
For daily use on the home table, the
Madame Salleroi geranium will be
4 found very satisfactory. This variety
is quite unlike the ordinary geranium.
1t has good many very short branches,
sent out from a sort Of crown, and these
are generally about equal in length,
therefore plant of it is never "leg-
gy,' after the fashion Of the Towering
geranium. It forms a rounded, COM
pact mass of foliage, and does this with
out requiring any attention whatever
In the way of pruning or training. Its
foliage is small, of a soft, pale green
bordered with creamy white. A we'll
grown specimen is almost as snowy as a
plant with flowers. Those who have
not seen this plant when grown in a
pot by itself will have but little idea
, of the beauty it is capable of develop
ing. Where the ordinary geranium has
one leaf this sort has score, and the
pot in which it is grown will be com.
, pletely hidden by it. 1t is of the easiest
, culture. Its foliage is excellent for
combination with flowers in the makeup
= of individual bouquets or g favors. !"

Become an Associate Member.

Become an Associate Member.
Please become an associate member
of the Sunshine society and help the
good work along. The society does not
send out solicitors but depends upon
the spontaneous offering Of those in
terested in the work, and it's associate
membership dues to scatter sunshine.
The associate membership dues are
only 81 a year and this membership is
especially planned for those who are
in deep sympathy with the work but
have not the time to give Individual
effort towards it's success. .ss @s !.
The society hopes to have an asso-
ciate membership Of several hundred
turnout the state and with this income
can make so many happy.
There are no salaries paid In the Sun
shine society and every cent given
with the exception Of the office rent of
$12 month goes directly to the poor
and deserving. The society endeavors
to reach those who are not among the
ever poor who are always asking for
help, but those who are bravely max
ing an effort to live their part in the
world and to whom unusual burdens
or physical Affections make it one
weary struggle. Sunshine endeayors
to give them cheerful word, some Of
the necessaries in the way Of food and
clothing and when greatly needed ia
small money loan. More and more is
the Sunshine society coming in touch
with people who would suffer before
they would have their name placed
upon the lists Of the organized chart
ties. Nor are they in any sense people
seeking charity. .., ~.
It is only the friendly and personal
sympathy, the temporary aid at time
Of dire distress that they desire. -
AS rule Sunshine will only have to
help them but once and as soon as they
are on their feet again, they in turn
help the society bring sunshine to
| someone else.

ship meets with warmest approval
from all and we wish it were possible
