FERTILIZER is ESSENTIAL.

The secret of a successful vegetable
garden is to keep the ground occu-
pied with a crop. AS soon as one
crop is harvested, start another Plan
successive planting of the vegetables
that grow quickly, so that they may
be enjoyed fresh throughout the
summer
Lessons learned this year should
be treasured for next spring. 1t will
often be found that soil must be pre-
pared in special manner for the best
success with some crops. Stiff clay
soils must be plowed or spaded thor
oughly and this should be done in
the fall in those localities where the
ground freezes, as the thaw and freez-
ing help to break up the soil in fine
particles.
In places where rich and sandy
soil is found and no freezing takes
place, blowing may be done in the
spring.
The ground must be thoroughly
fortified each season and the best
fertilizer is well rotted barnyard ma
nure, which should not contain shaw
ings or sawdust. Chicken, pigeon
and sheep manure are also good fer
tilizers. Too little attention to water
is given by many gardeners. Com
siderable expense in providing irriga-
ton means is warranted. 1t will sbe
found wise to start many seeds in
doors in the spring. They may be
planted in window boxes, sown in
rows with each row labeled. Plants
started in the house or in hot beds
must be hardened off before trans
planting to the open ground.-Indi-

Light Evidence.

An Irish soldier on sentry duty had
orders to allow no one to smoke near
his post. An officer with lighted
cigar approached, whereupon Pat
boldly challenged him and ordered
him to put it out at once.
The officer, with a gesture of dis
gust, threw away his cigar, but no
sooner was his back turned than Pat
picked 1t up and quietly retired to
the sentry box. .
The officer, happening to look
around, observed a beautiful cloud
of smoke issuing from the box. He
at once challenged Pat for smoking
on duty.
Smoking, is it, sorr? Bedad, and
I'm only keeping 1t lit to show to the
corporal when he comes, as evidence
agin you. "-Tit-Bits.

Curious Birds Nest.

An odd gift has recently been made
to a museum in a Connecticut town,
the main industry of which is the
manufacture of watches. This gift
is nothing more nor less than birds
nest, made entirely of steel.
1t appears that in the vicinity of
the workshops there are always to be
seen the remains of the old hair
springs of watches that have been cast
aside, Last summer a matchmaker
discovered this curious birds nest,
which had been built in a tree near
the factory by sparrows. 1t measures
ten inches in circumference and Isl
made solely of discarded watch
springs.
When the birds had fedged their
brood the matchmaker secured their
unique nest as an interesting proof
of the intelligence of birds in adapt
ing anything that comes within their
ken as suggesting material for nests.

GRoWING THE DAHLIA.

AS the first essential for growing
the dahlia the ground should be thor
oughly cultivated to the depth OF
eight or ten inches. If planted, in
hills the tubers should be given a
depth of fully six inches; they should
be laid horizontally in the soil in
place of vertically, so that the tuber
at the sprout should be not less than
six inches below the surface. The
new tubers all form and make their
growth at the base of the crown Of
the old tuber. If planted as advised
there will always be moisture enough
in the soil to keep the plant contin-
ually growing. After the tubers are
placed it is well to cover the sprout
an inch or so with soil before using
any fertilizer or dressing. 1t is not
wise to use too much stimulant at
first. After the plants get to the
stage of throwing out buds it is well
then to make another application,
either in liquid or raw state; this
should be applied around the plant
on top of the soil from six inches to
two feet.
One great point to be considered
before the plant gets to its towering
state is the cultivation of the soil.
In order to obtain the best results
from the dahlia, the soil should be
kept thoroughly cultivated either
with hand hoe or with a horse cul-
tivstor. After your plants begin to
show signs of Towering it is not well
to cultivate them, as this is very apt
to injure the plant through the cutting
of many of the new tubers, thus
weakening the growth, and in many
cases causing the plant to wilt in the
hot sun, something from which 1t will
take long time to recover. The
dahlia will do well on any kind of
soil If properly treated. If grown
on heavy soil it is well to use some
ground bone meal, and nothing but
staple fertilizers should be used. On
light sandy soil it is well to use some
stable dressing, also ground bone
meal can be used with good effect, as
this is the soil that just suits the dah-
liza, but good cultivation is the main
point in getting first class results, for
there is no plant that is more respon-
sive to cultivation and good treat
ment than the dahlia, and IL proper
ly cultivated it will produce more
flowers than any other plant in the
garden.-Indianapolis News.

THE MOST UNHAPPY WOMAN In The WORLD

foremost woman in Russia, and she
used her position unscrupulously
against her daughter-in-law. The
young Empress was ignored at the
family councils, so that later, when
she was consulted, she simply de-
clined to express her views at ALL
The Cars disappointment was also
great when one after another four
daughters were presented to him. At
one time the Court clique, vita the
Dowager Empress and Pobyedonost-
sew at their head, who persuaded the
Car that the birth of an heir to the
throne would pacify the people and
would thus save Russia, urged Mich
olas to divorce Alexandra. 1t was
then that Nicholas turned to the
counsel of the mysticists and spirit
ualists, particularly to Father John
of Kronstadt. 1t is not difficult to
understand the feeling of an intellec-
tual, refined woman, whose favorite
authors were Renan, Feuerbach, and
Spencer, to be forced to obey the
whims of people whose superstition
was equalled only by their enmity to-
ward her. When the fifth child was
about to be born she was compelled
to go, at the behest of Nicholas and
his spiritual advisers, to deserted
place in Sarov, where a new saint had
been discovered and where Father
John of Kronstadt said special mass
with most elaborate services.
But the most wretched trouble
from which the Tsaritsa is suffering
is the fear of death. Since the out
break of the revolution she has felt
that an atmosphere Of constant dam
ger is lowering over the royal family.
The Red Sunday episode" filled the
Tsaritsa with horror, and her nerves,
like the Cars, have ever since then
been on the verge of collapse This
is the explanation of the numerous
cable dispatches bringing news Of
the Empress illnesses. Surrounded
and protected by cordons of guards,
detectives, police, she is all the time
tortured with the fear of death, not
so much for herself as for her chill
dren. Whether she sails with the
Gear and her children upon the Inn
perial yacht in the Finnish archipela-
go or travels among the Finnish
mountains, the constant danger to
her children haunts her. Of late her
malady has assumed a violent form
of hysteria.
The Gar has lost the respect and
the love of his people; even those
who had worshiped him blindly
know now that he is>no longer their
Little Father" But there are many
people in Russia who feel that there
is sad tragedy Of suffering woman
coming to its close in the palace of
the Gar, and whatever little SYM
pathy there still exists in the Empire
for the Romanoff family, it is solely
for the woman who was Princess
Alix.
Who knows, perhaps the Empress
of Russia, in her soul, envies the half
starved, hard-working peasant wo-
man of Kaluga, preferring the hum
BILE hut to her terror-filled palace? p
