Home Garden Hints.

Strawberry plants are now making
a substantial growth showing. keep
out the weeds, hoe frequently, and ID
early fall plants will be thrifty to set
In a new bed.
1t is none too early to manure piece
heavily for rhubarb. Then cultivate II
once a week or so to incorporate the
manure thoroughly through the SOIL
Rhubarb is a voracious feeder and re-
quires a large quantity Of manure II
best results are to be obtained. one
plant highly fortified will yield a sur
prising quantity Of stalks.
Currant cuttings of the new WOOD
are easily made and if done In early
fall ought to be we'll rooted so as to
be transplanted in spring. In some
towns there is never an oversupply OF
currants. while If around 10 cents per
quart can be realized for them they

profitable, such as the cherry.
The asparagus bed ought to have Il
good coating of manure before winter
and then be we'll cultivated In.

bedecked with rosettes Of red and blue
ribbon, marches around the table, car
rying a plate of leeks. Every officer or
guest who has never eaten one before
is obliged to do so, standing on his
chair with one foot on the table, while
the drummers beat a roll behind his
chair. He is then considered true
Welshman. All the toasts are coupled
with the name of st. David. 1t Is IN
much this way that the toast VIII
