THE SUNLESS WINDOW.
Plants Which Will Grow Best There,
and How to Take Care
of Them.

We often hear 1t remarked that some
cannot keep plants because the win.
dows are shaded or on the north side
OF the house. While even the geran-
Jun and coleus can be coaxed into a
profusion of growth and bloom in the
north window, if given rich soil. better
results come with sunshine. Yet there
are plants which like the shade and it
always pays to choose those especially
adapted to ones own conditions. saws

some, and almost any of them can be
grown to advantage in the north win
dow, the chief requisite being sufficient
moisture. Almost all of the begonias
like shade, and there are many beau
tiful ones in blossom during several
of the winter months. The rough.
leaved varieties do not bear water
upon the leaves. and care should be
taken, as dust gathers and requires
spraying off, so that no sunshine falls
upon the wet leaves. The rubber tree
is an excellent. one for this place. its
dark leaves being smooth and easily
kept clean. This plant requires an
abundance of moisture. Sponging the
leaves once a week is beneficial. The
scale is its chief insect enemy. The
rubber tree is quite difficult to start.

WINTER HINTS.

The winter is a good time to hunt
up the bag worms on the trees.
Branches that are trimmed from
fruit trees should not be left on the
ground, but should be burned.
Look out for mice in the orchard.
They will prove very destructive to the
young trees after the snow comes.
Poplar cuttings should be taken in
early winter and buried in moist saw
dust or sand until spring, then plant
ed six to ten inches apart in straight
rows.
Protect young trees from mice and
rabbits by wrapping them to a height
of IS inches. Heavy paper, fine wire
screen or thin wood never will an.
swer.
Soils for orchards should be well
plowed and well pulverized before
the trees are set, so that the soil for
the small roots may be we'll aerated
and well drained.
Some o peach growers have pre-
vented winterkilling of fruit trees by
banking a few forkfuls of stable ma
nure closely around the body of the
tree. Trees in the same orchard that
were not. banked died almost without
exception.

SCALES ON THE FARM.
Why They Should Be Installed and
the Best Manner of Put
ting Them In.

The weighing of salable produce al
the farm before hauling to market, to
definitely ascertain exact weights to
serve as a check on those obtained at
the market is a practice common
among many farmers grown out of dis
satisfaction between buyer and seller.
There was a time years and years
ago, when the producer of farm prod
ucts, because of the lack of proper
facilities for weighing marketable
stuff, whether stock or grain. was
compelled to submit to the weights of
the purchaser. In nor instances than
one a feeling of dissatisfaction de-
velOped between the producer and
buyer which has led 10 the former for
Trying himself with ample facilities
by which he may determine the pound
value of his produce IN round num-
bers to his own satisfaction before ar
irving at the market.

lays but hens are like human beings
