GUARD AGAINST LATE FR0STS
Strips Of CheesecIoth Will Afford
Ample Protection to Late Bloom
ing Strawberry Vines.

If your strawberry patch is plant.
ed in rows, as Is the case in most
small gardens, here is worthy sug-
gestion for protecting the poisoning
vines from late frosts:
Take strips Of cheesecloth about a
foot wide and the length of the rows;
if the vines spread to a width, in the
row, of more than foot increase the
width of the strips. Hem across the
ends, and at each corner secure pegs
about a foot in length, pointed at one
end. On evenings when frost seems
imminent, cover the rows with these
| strips: drive or push the pegs into the
ground at the end of the rows, until
the cheesecloth Is about Tour or five
inches above the plants; then unroll
the strips, stretching them to the op
posite ends of the rows and faster
| them down with the other pegs. II
this way the plants are sheltered, the
covering does not come in contac
with them, one does not have to both
or with newspapers that have to b,
weighted down, and the strips er
readily rolled up and put out OF tn
way when not needed.

Weddinu Fees in New York.

Large wedding fees are rare, even
in New York. Fees Of $50 and 800
are considered large. The $1,000 fee,
when it makes it's appearance, usual
ly goes to the rector of wealthy
congregation who enjoys salary of
$4,000 or $4,000 q year. Larger fees
are sometimes given. The man Of
wealth, actuated by high regard for
his pastor and friend, occasionally
gives his check for $4,000 or $4,000
under the guise of a wedding fee. He
wishes to help the minister, and
knows the money would not be &C.
cepted under any other circumstances.
Such gifts, it Is needless to say, are
extremely rare. New York has few
clergymen whose marriage fees aver
age $1,000 year, The pastor of a
large Presbyterian church on Broad.
way has estimated that his fees
amount annually to $1,000. These
are top-notch figures. The fee re-
ceiyed by an American minister for
officiating at the wedding of one OF
his wealthy parishioners in Paris q
few years ago is said to have GOV
cred the expenses of his four months
vacation on the Continent. Such fees
however, are extraordinary. They are
beyond the widest dreams of the
average pastor, who may be able t.

MOISTURE IN FLOWER POTS
Ingenious Arrangement for Supplying
Water to Plants Without Trouble
of Leakage.

A fiower-loving genius has invented
a box for supplying moisture to plants
in window-boxes, stationary stands or
other receptacles by which water may
be supplied once week or even at
longer intervals.
The illustration shows that the wa
ter Is poured into the bottom Of the
box or pot through tube in the cor
ner which extends down to the reser-
vor. This reservoir Is from one to
two inches deep and on top OF 1t Is
placed a false bottom which supports
the soil. Inserted in the holes to the
false bottom are sponges which touch
the extreme bottom of the box and ex

plants in June and are sometimes
plentiful enough at that time to cause
quite a punching and Gripping of ter
minal shoots.
Except in this position they are
rarely seen by the fruit grower, VINO
will not ordinarily suspect root insects
when the trees begin to turn yellow
and look sickly about midsummer.
In dealing with these insects pre-
vention is better than cure. NO trees
should be set without being carefully
examined for root lice and If any are
noticed, the roots should be dipped
into a strong tobacco decoction and
thoroughly wet. Or they may be
dipped into clean water SO as to wet
thoroughly, then dipped into pail OF
tobacco dust so as to powder them
Thoroughly, and handful of the dust
or ground tobacco should be thrown
around the roots before the soil Is
drawn upon them and pressed down.
Nothing Is better and safer than to-
bacco for this purpose, and IT this
practise is carried out there will be
few plant lice left to make trouble.
If this precaution has not been
taken and injury develops, the tree
should be stimulated by appropriate
fertilizers, and there should be, in ad-
dition, liberal application OF tobacco
dust or ground tobacco in basin
around the trunk of the tree, the dust
to be covered over with soil to pre-
vent it's being blown away or other
wise disturbed. A decoction may be
used instead of the dust, but there
should be at least a gallon to tree
If older than two years, and the basin
should be deep enough to reach the
surface roots.
AS the insects do not usually get
very far away from the trunk on
Young trees, the outer circle of the
basin need not be much over IS inches
in diameter. The tobacco is in Itself
fertilizer and worth almost as much
as it costs, as such, so Its use secures
a double effect. When tree is once
fully established and has reached the
bearing age it rarely suffers if it II
reasonably we'll fed and otherwise
cared for
If a tree is killed by these insects
another one should not be set into it
place without having liberal amour
of ground tobacco mixed with the sol
packed around it.

other winter blooming flowers.
All Of the above named bulbs and
number of others may be had at any
time during the winter and are nearly
all of them inexpensive.
Several Hyacinths or Narcissus
may be placed in one bowl; from six
to ten will give a good result. Only one
or two of the Chinese Lily bulbs
should be planted in a bowl.
The Chinese Lily is the queen OF
plants for growing in water. The
blossoms are pure white with yellow
cup shaped centers measuring one
and half inches in diameter. The

ceedingly fragrant.

KILLING BLACK PEACH APHIS
Tobacco Applied Literally In Ground

Safest Remedy.

Black peach aphis Is often found
in small numbers on nursery trees,
especially those grown on light soils.
Proper fumigation will kill these lice,
but growers generally object to fumi'
gated trees and nurserymen will not
as rule funigate unless they must.
When such infested trees are set out
in light land the lice multiply and
feed on the small "ootlets near the
trunk working outward later as they
increase in number. Little trouble Is
noted during a first season as rule,

questions were settled, more or less
informally. Among these was that
of grading the school house grounds,
it being generally agreed that it was
better to insure a full nine months
term Of school than spending enough
on the grounds to cut short the
school year. A noon intermission
of an hour and a half was agreed
upon, part of this time to be made up
from the morning and afternoon re-
cesses, which are to be shortened.
The longer noon intermission allows
