Devoe is the whitest white of all white

Devoe to prime Mr.. Pratt's house at

SMALL POT BEST.

Like the palms, they thrive best in
a comparatively small pot, and re-
Quire a good, open, turfy loan, with
a little leaf soil and sixth part man
ure. A quart of bonemeal to every
bushel Of this compost will give good
results.
The leaves of the rubber plant
should be sponged frequently to keep
the foliage clean. A little whale oil,
or even ordinary soap, in this water
helps to prevent insects.
Plenty of water at the roots is re-
CURED. Many people stand them in
a bathtub once week for an hour or
more. In winter less water is re-
quired than In summer, and overland
ness in this respect will cause the
leaves to turn yellow and drop off,
one by one. When this happens stop
watering for time, but continue to
sponge the leaves.
The ficus does best in a sunny win
dow, and grows along most of the
year, taking very little rest. In the
summer 1t may be stood out in the
broad sun In tub or pot.
The tall. straggly appearance of so
many rubber trees is most objection
able. They may be made to branch
by pinching out the terminals. This
is best done to strong young plants
when not over fifteen inches high.
They break much more quickly than
when allowed to grow to height of
several feet and then cut down to the
hard wood.-Indianapolis News.

Many birds In their nesting habits
have accommodated themselves to

barn and cliff swallows, which once
built under overhanging cliffs and in
caves, now place their nests on the
rafters and beneath the caves OF our
barns. The chimney swift, which orig
inally placed its nest on the inside OF
hollow trees, now uses our chimneys
for that purpose. The purple martin,

sTRAWBERRY GARnEN


The amateur gardener who wishes
to set out bed of strawberry plants
this spring must first prepare his sol
well. AS soon as the ground is ready
to work pillow under the cover CROP,
and harrow until 1t Is in good shape
to receive the plants. Unless the soil
is very fortile 1t is best to take a year
to prepare 1t for the berries. The
best way to do this is to apply a thor
ough coating of well rotted manure
about thirty loads to the acre, or an
equivalent amount of artificial fer
tilizer, and plant early potatoes,
beans or some crop that requires a
good deal of cultivation. When this
crop is removed sow some rye in the
soil after blowing 1t well, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
The strawberry plants should be
ordered for delivery early in the
spring. Select the varieties which
you learn by careful inquiry thrive
best in your vicinity. Set the plants
eighteen to twenty-four inches apart
In the row and have the rows about
forty-two inches apart Set the
plants deep enough to cover roots
well, but not the crown. Cultivation
should begin soon as the plants be-
gin to form runners; place these in
line with the old plants and cover
with moist earth, thus propagating a
row of new plants as soon as posi-
Bile. AS soon as the ground freezes
the plants should be covered with hay
or clean straw, to protect them from
alternate freezing and thawing.
