years to develop a towering bulb from
the seed. A noted scientist who was
believed to be an authority on lily
growing, stated that "In three or four
years at most, Towering bulbs will
be produced from seed if the young
plants are properly treated" While
the experiments of the Department of
Agriculture have shown that some seed
lings are longer than others in coming
into bloom, yet when these do flower,
they reward all the cultivator's labor
by producing a great amount of flow
ers-instances being known of plants
with from ten to fourteen flowers at
one time
Hybrid Philippine LAy.
The Bureau of Plant Industry of
the Department of Agriculture last
year took up the problem of shorten
ing the time of growing, as any short
ening in the time of growth represents
so much gain to the cultivator. With
this in view the Department imported
species of lily from the Philippines
which was known to bear flowers in
from two to three months after plant
ing of the bulb. This lily has been
crossed with the common Easter lily,
and the 1t has been a hybrid
bearing as many flowers as the old
Bermuda lily with no difference in ap
pearance from this plant, except that
the hybrid will develop in four or five
months, representing a shortening in
time of from one to three months
While the experiments of the Depart
ment are not yet completed, the re
suits attained so far warrant the be
lief that the new hybrid Easter Lily
can be produced cheaper than the ole
variety which blooms not less thar
from six to eight months after plant
! ing of the bulb

AS the warmth of spring approaches
the system Graves some fresh acid, and
nothing is more grateful than rhubarb.
A most satisfactory practice is to cover
a couple of thrifty stools of rhubarb
with an old halfbarrel, inverted, and
pile around it green manure. This will
force it into quick growth.

For the best results fruit and other
trees should be cultivated early and
often during the spring and early sum-
mer, as that is the time when most
growth is made. When the fruit is
small there is plenty of sap for vigor-
Gus wood growth, but after the fruit
approaches maturity the wood growth
decreases.

proved methods of selection and cul-
tivation, would undoubtedly be eyentu-
ally a good policy for the growers to
pursue, yet, except in the case of the
more progressive growers, there is lit
tie likelihood of this being done, as it
would materially decrease the revenue
from lily farming for the time being.
This will readily be understood when
il is stated that an acre of lilies will
bring from $1,000 to $4,000. Some
growers on the islands who thoroughly
appreciate the importance of careful
methods are using small bulbs in
preference to scales, and are selecting
and fertilizing carefully but they are
heavily handicapped by the many
small growers who cultivate their
crops according to old methods; and
in these cases there is no selection
with a view to producing and perpetu-
ating good types. Little manure is
used The methods of propagation are
very faulty and they have not been
changed since the beginning OF the in
dustry in the islands. For instance,
in the growing Of the bulbs for Amer
lean markets the smaller sizes are
planted in the fall and harvested in
July, OF DeIOIe lne DulDS nave InOTOuRu-
ly ripened. In the process of handling,
many of the immature scales drop
from the bulbs. These are not thrown
away, as they ought to be, but are
carefully saved and planted with a view
10 raising small bulbs These bulbs
ultimately form a large part Of the
general crop.
AS a result of all these conditions
the bulbs marketed by Bermuda have
become impregnated with disease. so
that, at the present time it is almost
impossible to secure a bulb or plant
which does not show some trace OF di'
sease.
O. The American Method.
Investigations made by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture have shown that
by the use of seeds instead OF scales,
larger bulbs can be secured in a much
shorter time than can be produced by
the scale method. Moreover, 1t has
been demonstrated that in this way

Planting overgrown nursery stock
because it can be secured cheaper than

May will be a good time to walk
rapidly through the orchard and rub
OF the new shoots, or water sprouts,
on the trunks of the trees. If much
pruning has been done these will be
found in abundance. When soft and
green, as they are during this month,
they can be easily removed, pulled out
by the roots, as it were, whereas later
they will have to be cut off, causing
a liability to sprout again.

HOW TO CARRY THE HEAD

head we'll poised? Then keep it so.
 Are you, however, ill-suited with yourself after this critical surveyo Then let us correct the evil at once and attain the ideal or as near an ap- proach to it as possible.
 An excellent corrective exercise- and one that is good for daily prac tice-is to lie flat on your face on the bed, the chin resting on the hands. and then, keeping the hands on the bed, palm down, elbows out and flat. raise the head aud push it back as far as possible; held a few seconds and lower slowly to position again. Repeat several times, resting between each exercise.
 Next, stand with the Lands back of the neck, elbows forced back as far as possible-hips, back, chest ex- fanded, weight on the balls of the feet, and, holding the chin well in, fierce the head slowly back, pressing tie neck lightly with the finger tips and keeping the elbows back all the time
 Night and morning exercise the neck, turning the head to the right and left, bending it backward. lift it2g it as high as possible and stretch ing the neck. But the forcing back ward exercises are the most effective, being strictly corrective work
 Remember that ten minutes cor reotiye practice night and morning will be worse than useless unless dur ing the long hours of the day effort is constantly made to hold the head erect.
