\ Plan for a Farm Garden Suggested
BY the Government.

In the fall it is a very good plan TO
cover the garden with stable-manure
and have it spaded in lightly. In the
spring cover the garden with a good
supply of well-decayed manure and
have it Spaded in, early in the season.

Sweet Peas.

The seedsmen are certainly doing
themselves in the production of new
varieties of sweet peas Each season
sees host of new and beautiful types
in double and single styles. Sweet peas
may be grown even at attitudes of 5000
feet if started in the house and set out
where the sun and air have full force
upon the plants. The colors seem to be
more brilliant at the higher attitudes.

soil. A good soil for potting plants
may be made by mixing two parts trashy
loan or muck, one part finely sifted
clay and one part old we'll rotted COW
manure Well rotted wood ships or
leaf mold may be added to this if soil
seems heavy.
Boston ferns and the coarser varieties
of the ostrich plume delight in light
airy location such as a window that is
open a great deal on warm sunny days
although they do not like the direct SUN
rays The newer and more lacy vari-
cites of ostrich plume and the many
varieties Of maidenhair do not like draft
in any form, but rather a close room
These like plenty of light but no sun.
There is one plant often seen in the
house during the winter that is very
badly abused after it is through bloom
ing, this is the Azalia This popular
plant is grown in large quantities in
Holland and Belgium and is from three
to six years old when shipped to this
country. Hundreds of thousands are
brought here every fall and they are
full of flower buds at that time Florists
generally use them for Christmas and
Easter blooming but they may be had at
almost any time between these dates
While in bloom they require large guam
titles of water, but after the flowers are
gone care must be taken not to over
water, but neither must they be allowed
to dry, as it is at this time that they
do their growing and perfect the flower
buds for the next winters blooming A
good plan is to plunge the pot in the
ground in the coolest and dampest 1oca-
ton to be found, just as soon as danger
from frost is over, and let it stay there
until late in the fall The damp, cool
nights at that time do the plant great
deal of good When frost comes the
plant may be removed to the house and
in the late winter it should produce more
then enough blooms to repay for the
care given it, the blooming period last
ing many weeks. No repotting is neces-
sary with this plant during all of this
time, but weekly watering of very
weak liquid cow manure will be bene-
fetal, starting about December 25th and
continuing until the flower buds show
color; after that time nothing but clear
water should be used

The True Sweet Shrub.

Unless in some old garden, it is al
most impossible to procure the true
sweet shrub, ca1ycanthus Aoridus The
one common everywhere nowadays,
which has been and still is sold by many
for the true sweet shrub is calycanthus
lcvigatus. Were it not that it lacks the
odor of the true sort it would make no
difference, for it forms a shapely shrub,

Rubber Plants.

Rubber plants make but little growth
during the winter months, as that is the
season when they take a needed rest.
During this period they should not be
given much water. After growth begins
in the spring, new soil should be fur
nished but do not use too large pot.
During the summer liquid manure can
be used, but this should be discontinued
in the fall
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-02-01
The Care of House Plants.

After the plants have been indoors for
several months they usually begin to
show the effects Of being shut in. This
is largely due to the very dry atmos-
phere Of most living rooms.
Most plants commonly seen in the
house love warm and very moist
atmosphere and unless they are taken
out of doors and given an occasional
thorough spraying and washing they are
not apt to do we'll in the house. This
applies more especially to palms and
ferns of the several varieties excepting
the newer varieties of the ostrich plume
type of ferns and the maidenhair fern or
adiantium, these want very little water
on the fronts
Palms and ferns are also very subject
to scale in the house and these must be
kept in check or they will soon get so
thick as to nearly kill the plant On
palms it is easy to keep them off by
soaking the leaves in Ivory soap suds
and then wiping with soft cloth, being
sure to rinse thoroughly with clear
water afterwards With the ferns they
must be picked off with pointed stick
and if fronds are found with a great
many on, it is advisable to cut off the
frond A thorough watering with lime
water that looks about like SKINNED
milk will be very beneficial at this time,
especially if worms are found in the
soil, for besides Kidding the soil of
worms it has a tendency to sweeten the
soil and strengthen the growth. In max
ing this lime-water use only old air
s1aked lime
Most palms when growing in pots re-
quire very little fertilizer; this is especial
ly true of the kentia family but if you
have palms of the phoenix family they
can be fertilized now to good advantage,
using very weak liquid cow manure.
With ferns of all varieties it is very
different as they are gross feeders,
especially after the pots are full of roots,
little ground bone stirred into the top
soil at the rate of a teaspoonfu1 to a
seven-inch pot is good, but if possible
use liquid COW manure of about the con-
sistency of strong coffee. This may be
used about every two weeks if plants
are growing we'll.
If the fronds of ferns are light colored
an application of SCOT will make them
dark rich green. Apply this by mix
ing one teaspoonful of SCOT to four of
damp soil Stir this into the top soil
and water we'll.
If the fern pots are overcrowded with
roots, repotting will be necessary, but
this is not desirable at this time, as in
most cases the liquid manure will be
better In repotting be careful not to
overpot Use only one size larger pot ex-
cept when plants are large and growing
rankly, then the second size larger will
be sufficient
It is safe to say that more house
plants are killed by overpotting than in
any other way.
A few pieces of coarse charcoal in
the bottom of fern pots is very benef-
cia1; besides affording good drainage this
has tendency to keep the soil sweet
and prevent moss growing on the top

Infinitely better is it to keep two COWS
which would give $50 pounds of butter
fat per year, and take care of them, than
to keep five COWS that will only give you
$50 pounds of butter per year as they
are kept now A man with two COWS
who takes care of them is much great

large herd which receives no attention
except that necessary to get the milk

THE POULTRY
DEPARTMENT OF
COMING FAIR
HAS PRACTICALLY
ENGAGED NOTED JUDGE To-
HAVE CHARGE-THE PREMIUM
LIST TO BE ISSUED TODAY.

A meeting of the Interstate Fair
Associations special committee to
handle the proposition from the Els
Gambia Poultry Associations PROPOSE
lions which were submitted at the last
meeting of the directors, was held
yesterday afternoon at the rooms of
the Chamber of Commerce, and it was
decided that the Fair Association
would take charge of the poultry eX-
hibit, and place in charge thereof a
noted chicken judge, in the person OF
]. F. Marshal, of Georgia, noted for
his knowledge of fowls. His services
have practically BEEN secured. The
proposition of the poultry association
officers, however, to make the contest
in the poultry department as wide
spread as possible, and not to limit
the exhibits to the counties which are
to take part in the Interstate Fair,
was favored to some extent. It was
decided to limit the premium contest
to the counties directly interested in
the fair, but special cups We're offered,
and will be provided for, to be award
ed in the exhibits from the world. or
without the counties which Wer to
take part directly in the competition.
A meeting of the premium commit
tee will be held on Tuesday of next
week. and at that time it will be de-
cided just when the premium list will
be issued, with the idea, however, Of
making the edition large and an
early one. In a general way, the
premiums will follow the classification
as adopted last year. or upon the occa-
sion of the Tri-County Fair, and inter-
ested parties may follow that general
classification pending the, issue of the
new and complete premium list.
General Manager Storrs was here
yesterday and remained for the meet
ing. The other members of the COM
mittee. who were present also were
