The rapid growing Virgins Bower is
an excellent vine for veranda, giving
q dense shade. 1t presents a snowy
bank of star shaped white flowers of
delightful fragrance, which last for
several weeks. A companion variety,
Clematis Coccinea, has rose colored
flowers. which from a distance re
semble half closed rose beds. The
Wistaria is a good vine for a trellis,
but is somewhat coarse for most veran-
das, being better suited for the rustic
house or pergola, where its delightful
purple flowers hang in graceful pro

Is perhaps one of the surest, hardest
and most satisfactory of vines, admira-
bly, suited for the veranda or almost
any other place. 1t grows rapidly and

Preparing For Timber Sales.

The demand for lodgepole pine ties
by the western railroads, which prefer
them to any other because of the ease
with which they take preservatives.
has greatly increased the market value
of the Rocky mountain forests in
northern Colorado, Wyoming eastern
Idaho and southern Montana, where
lodgepole pine is the predominant tree.
The forest service has completed Il
working plan to permit the sale of such
mature timber as may be safely spared
on 10000 acres in the Wyoming divi-

Medicine Bow forest reserve contains
the largest continuous body of lodge

This accounts for the fact that from

annually.
Soil and Drainage.
Alfalfa is adapted to a wide range
of soil, provided the subsoil is open

retain moisture, has much to do with
the success of the crop. Deep blowing
