THE MONTHS WORK

Spring is on us unawares once more,
and finds a multitude of tasks await
ing the busy gardener, who often hard
ly knows where to begin first. A great
deal of time is taken up still in dress
ing and pulverising the soil to get 1t
into condition for seed-sowing, but of
course the weather has the chief order
ing of ones time, and no garden
should be without dry light sned, so
that rainy days may St1ll be made use
of for various potting operations, and
preparing window-boXes, seed-pans,
composts, etc. Shrubberies and bor-
ders ought to be top-dressed with ma
nure now, and turf edgings can be
relaid. Hedges should be trimmed into
shape, and deciduous trees pruned be-
fore the end of the month. While on
the subject of hedges it should be
mentioned that a spreading shape at
the top is injurious to the bushes, as
it is apt to interfere with the free
circulation of light and air, and for
this reason many hundreds of bushes
become thin at the bottom and make
poor-looking hedges. The most salts
factory shape is the pointed top with
hollow center to let in light and air
freely.
Patches of hardy ANIMALS may now
be sown in the open border and au-
tumn- sown ANIMALS should be trans
planted into their towering quarters;
also biennials, herbaceous plants, car
nations, pinks and pansies, gladioli
and anemones may now be planted.
All plants in frames should receive
more water and free air in the day
time, and fruit trees should now be
pruned.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-15
A BIG WESTERN DAM

The highest dam in the world is
finished. 1t is in the gorge of the
Shoshone river in Wyoming, joining
cliffs so nearly perpendicular that the
workmen who drilled for the first
blasts had to be lowered by ropes
hundreds of feet into the canyon. Only
eighty-five feet wide at the bottom,
the dam rises 32S1a feet. In order to
reach the site selected by the govern
ment engineers it was necessary to
construct a road eight miles long, many
portions of it's length tunneled through
granite cliffs. For several miles this
road is blasted out of the sheer face
of Rattlesnake mountain. 1t opens
new and attractive route to the Yel-
loWstone National park. The dam will
create behind it the largest lake i'm
Wyoming, with a surface area of ten
square miles and an everage depth OF
seventy feet But instead of a diver
sion canal along the banks of the river
it was found simpler to conduct the
irrigation flow directly through the
precipitous cliffs in a tunnel three
miles long

ROSE NOTES

Where planting could not be done in
November this is the best month to
plant roses. Prune the shoots before
planting, whatever kind of rose it is,
and plant firmly mulching the surface
of the soil heavily with decayed ma
nure afterwards, and if the weather
be dry give a good watering, Prun-
ing of hybrid 'perpetuals and other
varieties except teas, Chinas and hy-
brid teas. or other tender sorts should
be done before the end of the month
unless the weather be very frosty,
when it may safely be postponed till
more suitable weather sets in. The end
of the month is time enough to re
move protection from tea roses. Beds
should be top-dressed with well-rotted
manure where not already done. POT

OLD GUNS FOUND NEAR VENICE

A Rome correspondent of the London
Globe says that some very interesting
discoveries have been made in the
course of excavation work around the
island of Lido at Venice. where num-
Der of ancient pieces of artillery have
been found beneath six feet of mud
The cannon are all in a state of excel
lent preservation, though it is clear
from their construction that they must
date back to a period almost imme-
diately after the discovery of gun
powder, and it is believed that they will
prove of very great artistic and his
toric value.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-15

plants may be pruned and top-dressed,
and seeds of wild roses may be sown
for stocks. Roses under glass will need
careful attention as regards Venti-
lation and keeping free from pests and
diseases. Too great warmth or in
sufficient air will make the growth
soft and too delicate to be satisfac-
tory. Less fire is needed when the sun
shines, and more ventilation, though
in the afternoon the ventilators should
be closed and the foliage well syringed
with tepid water.
