~ 2oNs Es IoE the
To make his flower garden contln-
ual delight, the amateur should study
the characteristics of the flowers ne
grows and see that each serves pur-
pose. If he loves fragrance, nocohana
affinis, with its abundant star-shaped
white flowers, is excellent, and fra
grant novelty which presents strlk-
ing contrast to this is nocotiana San
deras, with deep pink, almost red HOW
ers. These above all, are excellent Tor
borders. planted in front Of taller grow
ing SHRUBS.
For a bed where a mass Of yellow is
desired, golden California poppy Is
useful. 1t must be sown where it is TO
bloom, as it does not transplant we'll.
It's flowers are not adapted for cutting.
For side and back fences clumps or
single and double hollyhOcks In mass
are good. A flower which grows nearly
as high as the hollyhock is radbeckla
golden glow, which produces wealth
of golden flowers good for cutting. 1t
is q good plan to devote the space IN
front of one fence to dahlias and cos
mos. for these are sure to please the
most fastidious flower lovers. Inc
cactus and decorative forms of the
dahlia are becoming more and more
popular every year. The tubers may
be stored in the cellar in winter like
potatoes. If there happens to be Il
sunny exposure in the garden, plant
few pompon chrysanthemums, which
are hardy They will give an effective
display of tiny flowers in the autumn.
The Drummondi phlox are exceedingly
PRETTY, slow growing ANNALS, exceed
ingly snowy in mass. In warm and ex-
posed situations they last but few
weeks in bloom.

DON'T Eorset the ieffure

Lettuce plants that have been win
tered over in the cold frame should be
planted at the earliest possible date in
spring, and a sowing Of the seed should
be made at about the same time. Many
kinds of vegetables will yield good re-
turns on land but moderately enriched,
but lettuce cGsl only be grown to per-
lection in very rich and heavily ma
nured ground. Plant in rows twelve or
fifteen inches apart; plants should be
set eight inches apart in the row, and
the seed soWn in drill and when large
enough thinned out to about eight or
ten inches. Give clean and thorough
cultivation. Varieties of lettuce are
exceedingly numerous, and the selec-
ton of a few good kinds is not with
out difficulty,

An Egg Producer.

Green cut bones are not used as ex-
tensively as they should be. because
grain can be obtained with less diff
Guilty and at a minimum cost. but as
egg producing material the bone is far
superior to grain and does not cost
more than grain in some sections. The
Is now rendered an easy matter, as the
bone cutter is within reach Of all.
Bones fresh from the butcher contain
mere or less meat, and the more of
such meat the better. as it will cost no
more per pound than the bone, while
the combination Of both meat and bone
is an excellent food from which to pro-
auce eggS

The New Flax InIustry

An industry new at least to Mime
sofa has been introduced during quite
recent years. 1t relates to the manu-
facture of fax straw into binding
Irvine. Professor Shaw affirms in
Orange Judd Farmer that one Of the
finest features of the new industry
is that it will tend very much to lessen
waste on many farms of the west. No
where probably in all the United States
has the sin Of waste prevailed to such
an extent as in the western and north
western states. Flax straw was al
most a complete waste The greater
the number of acres devoted to the
growth of fax the greater was the
waste.

EerIiIiZing an Orchard.

Nothing is better for fertilizing an
orchard than raw bone meal and pot
ash, says an expert orchardist. The
bone will have nitrogen enough for the
orchard in sod, and the phosphoric acid
will become soluble by degrees as the
trees need it. The principal need of
your sandy soil in apples is potash, for
not only is such a soil usually deficient
in potash, but apples take a large
amount from the soil. We would ap-
ply 400 pounds per acre, mixed $50
pounds of the bone meal and fifty
pounds Of muriate Of potash. Then
NOW the orchard and use the cut grass
as mulch for the trees. In short.
keep the orchard for apples alone and
devote all that grows on the land to

The Fremont Williams strawberry is
one of the new late sorts from which
much is expected. When it is intro
duced the name will doubtless be short

been under test throughout the country

feature, and this will be mainly in the

the Candy, generally considered the
best late sort, of much better quality
and is large and firm. In color it is an

Too Free Use Of Lime

There is certainly such a thing as
using lime too freely both in the matter
of quantity and Of frequency As a
rule sour soils need lime, but it does
not follow that all acidity of the soil is
due TO lack Of lime, for, as is we'll
known. there are certain minerals in
the soil in some locations which will
apparently. make it sour, and all the
lime in the world will not overcome the
effect. Then. too. certain plants contain
more or less lime, many of them suffi-
cient for their own use-cloyer is one
Of these, but oftentimes more lime IS

THE mixture of salt and sulphur that

All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the wh!rl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens OF thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many eases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues

to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her

By far the best way to use lime is to
