When the mothers in the far
Northland rock their little boys
and girls to sleep, they sometimes
tell them the story Of Baldur, an
elf called the Prince of Peace.
Baldur had grown up to be a
very handsome young man when
he began to be worried by
strange dreams and was afraid
someone might hurt him. This
greatly worried his mother, who
loved him dearly. SO she went
to all the lands asking everything
and everybody not to injure her
beloved son. They all promised
not to harm him-that is, every
thing but the mistletoe, which she
didn't ask because she thought it
surely would be harmless.
Now Ba1dur had an enemy who
saw that the mistletoe was the
only thing that had not prom
Used, and therefore might hurt
Baldur. So this wicked young elf
cut a branch of the mistletoe and
made it into an arrow, which he
had a blind man hurl at Baldur,
killing him.

Some F1ds, Fclebions and Home Hints for Womes

tilation. The dampness Of the
ground must not be confined or
the plants will rot.
Heap the pile in rounded form,
lay over it some small boards or
brush SO as to form a roof to shed
water and prevent havoc by the
wind.
The idea in covering is not
Ghiefly to prevent freezing of the
earth-a very heavy covering
would be required In a cold eli
mate to do that; but rather to
protect the plant from too early,
in the sunny days of spring, start
ing to grow. only to have its
spouts frozen in later frosts.
Scatter over the raked lawn a
generous allowance of the CONNER
cial fertilizer your dealer carries
for lawns, and put barn fertilizer
on the garden TO be dug into the
ground.
Get ready a good seed bed in
some retired spot, where you plant
such seeds as live in the cold earth
well over winter, and get an early
start in the spring, while you are
wishing the early spring rains
would stop, so you can make gar
den." Sweet peas, mignonette, por-
tulacca, pansies. asters, larkspurs,
violets, peoples and petunias grow
well this way.
Pile extra leaves ana lawn rak-
ings on the rot heap. Don't waste
such precious stuff by burning.
Make flower beds, so far as pos
sible, for the coming season.
Gather up, repair, SHARPEN,
PAINT AND PACK AWAY all gar
den tools not in use in the winter.
