WlNDOW-BOX GARDENING.
Shallow Boxes the Best and Do Mt
Plant Seeds Too Deeply-This
the Common Mistake.

In an article on window box gar,
dening an authority states:
Remember that there are three prin
cipal reasons for failure in seed start
ing: Too deep planting, too shallow
planting, or the seeds are left toe
loosely in the soil.
More seeds fail to terminate be
cause they are too deeply planted thar
for any other reason. When fine seed:
are covered wei with an unnecessar'
depth of soil heat and air are shut ~
and moisture without heat and al.
will cause the seeds to decay. |
planted too shallow the sun and ali
will soon dry out the seeds. 1t is nee
essary to firm the soil over the seed
after planting, to give them close con
tact with fine soil when the tiny root
let's start.
Shallow wooden boxes are often rec
commended for seed planting in the
window garden. Even better thar
these, if they can be secured, are til
pans of from two TO four inches deep
to hold sufficient drainage materia
and enough soil to provide good root
growth. They are light for handling
and may be easily watered from th'
bottom-a necessary feature for man!
seedlings.
The same soil and drainage shoulf
be provided for the transplanting a
that used in the seed pan.
Many fine seeds may be more quick
ly started if a piece of window glas
Is set over the seed pan. When re
moved to the sunny window the glas
SHOULD be kept tilted to insure GOO
ventilation.
The soil should be kept Away
moist, but never wet. A wet soil an
poor ventilation are causes of man
failures with seeds, as the tiny plant
rot or damp off under such condi
lions.
Seedlings may be easily transplante
when they have from two to fou'
leaves; they should be above,
to become crowded in the seed par
as 1t causes a s%pindling growth

During February.
Terminal Agent Fuller is greatly
pleased over the AMOUNT of soft coal
put out last month, 500, 900 tons.
The highest ever before was 235,000

Mr.. Fuller likes his position AL
the men under him and those actual
ly under his control he says are do
ing the very best possible in the way
of work.
Mr.. Fuller has some excellent
ideas in regard to the management
of his men. He belivese in trusting
them and in letting them know that
he trusts them, but while he is kind
and willing to overlook some fail
ures. for he knows that no n Is

his makeup which will not allow
them to go too far and when he says
Il will" or II will not allow thus
and So and an offense is again com
mitted when it could have beer
avoided, a dismissal will follow
without any bluster-just quietly
and in a dignified manner. Mr..
Fuller says he owes a great deal to
d. c. Chase and almost every night
since he has been here, excepting
when he goes to his home in Brook
lyn, he spends at his home and has
received considerable instruction
from him when any difficult matter
has come up TO puzzle him,
D. C. Chase is a great man in Mr..
Fuller's estimation and he predicts
great things for him. He says com-
ing to a strange place without any
acquaintance here, for one of my
genial disposition, | would have been
lost almost had it not been for Sen
ator Chase's hospitality. They GER
tainly are c|ongenial spirits when
not going over business matters.
They play billiards and pass the time

Of continuing to board.
