Possibilities of an Out-of-Door Room.
Only the favored few are able to close

The first step toward creating this
habitable veranda is to screen it we'll

their suggestion Of rusticity and cool

purpose, and among the many varieties

NOW is THE RIGHT TIME
FOR PLANTING DAHLIAS
Some Straight Information for the Benefit Of Those Inter
ested in the Culture Of This Handsome Bloomer.

Dahlias should not be planted out-of-
doors until May Is, and excellent re-
suits have been obtained from roots
planted June Is. The dahlia is natur-
ally a late-blooming flower, and, while
a few blossoms may be seen in August,
it does not produce it's full crop until
September. Often, however, in early
September, there comes q. frost, which
kills the dahlia while 1t is at It's best.
This destruction may be prevented
either by selecting location which is is
stakes around the plants, and covering
stakes and plants either with paper or
some cotton material during frosty
nights. AS result Of these precau-
tions, dahlias were cut last fall on
The cultivation Of dahlias is simple.
The bulbs should be placed three to
four feet apart, and so that the crown
of each is fully four inches beneath
the soil before or during planting; in
fact, sandy soil is preferable to rich
soil When the plant has attained the
height Of two feet, a liberal heap Of
well-rotted cow manure may be placed
around each plant. This should be
freely watered every day. Indeed, the
plant will flower far more freely if con-
stantly kept moist than II Watered only
| occasionally.
When the bulb has sprouted, and the
growth has attained the height OF SIX
to eightsinches, it is advisable to pinch
the crown in order to produce branch
ing habit. The result will be dwarf
bushy plant with loads of flowers.
During the early part of the flower,
ing season, great many Imperfect
buds seem to develop, which should
be removed as soon as noticed. An ap
plication of small quantity of nitrate
of soda, during the latter part of Au
gust, will advance the Towering season

and a small yellow center: Separate
colors of this type are well worthy Of

very small white petal, which grows II

GAS USED UNDER LIME klLNS.
innovation by Connecticut Company
Is Success.

The New England Lime company.
Of Winstead, Conn, asserts that 1t Is
the first to introduce gas as fuel for
lime burning. The method is pro-
nounced an entire success. The grow.
ing scarcity of wood fuel led to the
discovery Of gas as substitute for
wood, and the company no longer con.
siders the gas method an experiment.
The efficacy and reliability OF gas
have been demonstrated beyond
doubt. Had it been impossible to find
a substitute for wood. said member
Of the company, 1t would have meant
the restriction and perhaps the total
abandonment OF the business. Gas
fires are absolutely clean at all times
no clinkers and no cinders-and the
lime produced is much whittier than
that burned by wood. Gas also pro-
duces a more intense heat and conse-
quently increases the capacity OF the
kilns. The daily output at the com.
pany's kilns is increased from so bar
rels per kiln to 100 barrels, or a total
Of 700 barrels daily.

FAIRY BOATS

The sun was beating holly down up
en- the wide stretch OF yellow sand.
Ladies in bright costumes reclined I'M

but OF the glories OF the towns they
had left behind them.
In one OF the shady places under the
rocks a man reclined languidly. He
was not sleeping or reading or watch

The morning passed slowly as he lay
there, and the crowd on the sands be-
gan to thin.
Just upon the rim OF the shadow
within which the man rested lay q
rounded, gray-white stone Towards
this a small child, whose feet and legs
were still shining and wet with the
warm sea water, made her way with
shout OF happy glee; and the man
sighed.
He glanced at the small intruder
with some annoyance visible upon his
face. but she was not noticing. She
hal seated herself Upon the stone, and
all her attention was given to the task
OF dsentangling a pair OF long black
stockings which were twisted about
her neck. He looked away again and
became once more lost In his own
thoughts. Then came a small, grum-
bling voice with the suspicion OF a
tremor in 1t.
