TO KEEP POTTED
PLANTS WATERED.


Arrange your flower pots on
the floor around a high box or
chair.
Place on the chair a good-sized
pail of water.
Cut from a piece of unbleached
muslin strips long enough to
reach from the inside of the pail
to each of the pots.
Sew or tie all the strips to-
gether at n end and fasten to
a weight. so that they will sink
to the bottom or the water.
Now lead the, other ends to the
plants, n to each pot.
The strips act like pipes and
distribute the water. drop by
drop, to each plant.
A wide strip will carry more
water for a large plant and a
narrow strip less for a small
plant.
If your pail is large enough the
plants will keep moist for three
or four days,

AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION.

If valuable pictures must be removed
in order to clean the inside of the
glass, In replacing them always cover
the hin board backing with a heavy
p to prevent the accumulation of
dust. Dust oftentimes makes a yellow
streak through the centre of a fine pic
ture, or along the edge, a blemish
which can never be removed.

Pennsylvania is doing well In for
estry and in tree conservation. The
state commissioner reports nearly
l ,000,0 acres in the reserve, to which
additions are being made, and has
much to say about the effective syS-
TEN OF replantng, cultivation and
general safeguarding. Replanting Is
very important part Of the work.
Many millions of young trees have
been planted. and with the appropria-
ton available 1t is hoped to add not
less than 100000 this year, while the
ultimate number is expected to be 20
100000 annually. Al excellent instt-
tuition Is a state forestry academy, In
which young men are trained for the
forestry service All this is tndica
tive of active and intelligent super
vision. Pennsylvania is a state OF
hills and valleys, and denuding the
crests of trees has wrought incalcu-
liable mischief, a fair specimen Of
which is furnished by The freshets
which so often sweep down the Ohio
and other streams, carrying havoc for
many miles.
