HINTS ON GARDENING.
How and When to Plant Vegetable and
Flower Seeds.

How and When to Plant Vegetable and
Flower Seeds.
When the birds come the grass
turns green, and for the first time
since the long winter the amateur
digging and planting comes. Dig as
deep as you can, provided the ground
is not wet and soggy. But beware of
planting too early. Use manure, lots
of 1t, but be sure 1t is well rotted.
Green manure is poison to plants. No
garden ever was dug too often or too
deep. Digging makes the garden glad
and gives fine crops later on. But
when in doubt about its being time to
plant do not plant.
1t is a mistake to plant seeds or set
out plants in a wet, cold soil. With
few exceptions they will not grow.
At best they will lie dormant. More
often the cold and wet kill the tender
germs and the seed and work of plant
ing are both lost. The crop is delayed
waiting for. the growth which never
comes.
No seed should be planted until the
ground is reasonably dry, not wet and
sticky. When the proper condition
prevails put in the first sowing of the
hardy seeds-radishes, lettuce. onions,
spinach, early round smooth peas Of
one must have them, the wrinkled
ones are better and the like in vege-
tables.
The first iiower seeds to sow after
the ground is reasonably dry are pan
sizes, daisies, sweet peas and nastur-
tiums. Really the pansies should
have been started some weeks earlier
in the house, or, better still, good
plants may be bought at the florists
and set out at once. 1t is to be noted
that little pansy plants are the best.
| They will grow better and bloom bet
ter and longer than the big ones which
have been carried over since last fall.
A week or ten days after planting
the first seed. if the weather holds
good. the wrinkled peas, beets and
other seeds may be planted. Again,
a week after these, planting of ear'v-
sweet corn may be tried, although il
IS little risky still. BY May 90 most
seeds can be planted and most bed
ding plants can be set out. Corn,
melons. cucumbers, geraniums. asters,
lobelias and all except the most tender
| things are reasonably safe.
Coleus and very tender plants
should not be set out until early June,
and. while bush beans may be planted
in late May, the limas should not be
put in the ground until June 1. For
the extreme northern states these
dates are too early, while as the Ohio
river line is approached the dates are
| late.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Colorado Snow Flea.

The observing Colorado miner can
not furnish you scientific names. yet
he will tell you at once that red snow
is caused by the snow Gea. The snow
flea is very small. II would require
about fifty of them TO equal their
larger brother of the east In size.
A person walking upright might
think the snow covered by very fine
dust, but If your eyes are good and
you place your face within eighteen or
twenty inches of the snow you can
easily discern the snow flea. Although
so small as to be almost imperceptible
to the naked eye, yet they are most
active, jumping from twelve to fifteen
inches.
To the naked eye they appear TO be
dark brown in color, but under a good
microscope they would be found to be
a reddish brown. During cold wealth
er they stay under the bark of trees,
but when it is a nice, warm day and
the sun shines brightly you can find
them on the southern and eastern
slopes of the mountains, where they
can get the direct rays of the SUM-
During the day they will ascend the
mountains, sometimes far above the
timber line When the sun disappears
and it gets cold the snow flea freezes
to death. During the winter great
numbers will be thus frozen, and their
dead bodies color the snow.

WHEN A TREE BLEEDS.
How to Check the Flow of Sap After
Bough Is Cut off.


The following has been found an
effectual method Of dealing with
bleeding" when necessary to remove
branches of trees that are given to
bleed profusely. This is to procure or
borrow spirit or blow lamp, such as
painters and plumbers generally en-
ploy for burning off old paint and sol
dering joints of lead pipes in incon-
venient places, and with its aid to car
bonize the wound until the whole sur
face is thoroughly charred. Follow
this up with an immediate application
of painters knotting or Stockholm tar,
the former for preference because it
hardens more quickly than the latter
and when once thoroughly hard the
sap cannot penetrate or ooze through
it.
The chief thing is to well char or
carbOnize the wood of and the bark
surrounding the wound also. This
takes some little time to accomplish if
the sap is flowing freely, but as the
wood becomes more and more charred
the bleeding gradually ceases, and
when seen to stop altogether the knot
ting or tar should at once be applied.
If unacquainted with the use of blow
lamp obtain the services of a painter
or plumber to do the carboniZing.

National SaIutations.

The other day two little girls met
in the street car. They hadn't seen
each other for quite long time, so
they shook hands heartily and said,
why. how do you doY at the same
moment. Had these two met in Eng
land the greeting would have been
much the same, but in France they
would have said, How do you carry
yourself" In Italy. How do you
stand?" In Germany, How do you
find yourself?" In Holland, How dc
ou fareT In Sweden. How can you?
In Egypt. "How do you perspire?" In

A Word of Caution.

This is a good time for boys to re-
solve. says the Youths Companion, that
they will not be drowned next sum-
mer. If the resolution is made and
then remembered till frost comes in
the autumn there will be fewer
drownlngs this year than usual. Last
summer nearly 300 children were
drowned in New England. Most of
them came to their death through go
ing swimming in ponds or streams at
times when their parents had forbid
den the sport. The boy who decides
not to drown will. in the first place
obey his parents and, in the second
place. will take no risks when he is
in the water.

How 10 Pack Bottles.

A difficulty hard to overcome is the
packing of bottles, especially when so
many are needed on the summer or
fall vacation. 1t should be first as
certained that the corks are sound and
that the liquid will not be allowed to
seep through them. Then cut pieces
of small, pliable wire. Draw a piece
Of the wire around the neck of each
bottle and make loop, drawing tight.
Put the other end across the cork,
forming another loop around the neck
of the bottle. When it is prepared in
this way the bottle may be carried in
