HOUSE PLANTS IN WINTER.
How to Make Them Thrive by Observ-
ing Simple Rules.

How to Make Them Thrive by Observ-
ing Simple Rules.
The best exposure for house plants
in the winter Is, as Il general thing. d
southern one The next best is ar
eastern one. Some plants can be
grown in western windows, but they
never do as well as in the other expo
sures. chiefly because of the intense
heat of the afternoon sun. If care is
taken. however, to shade the glass
during the hottest part of the day 1t
is possible. to grow plants well under
these conditions.
A few plants do well in north win
dow. The lack of sunshine prevents
the production of flowers. But many
foliage plants thrive. They require
much less water because evaporation.
due to absense of sunshine, takes place
in such a location more slowly. Give
only the amount of water needed to
keep the soil moist. More will cause
sOuring of the SOIL a condition sell

location the soil around the roots
should be turned over at least once a
week to allow the sun to reach it and.
as it w8e. purify it. Some plants, like
the geraniums and carnations, can
hardly get too much sunshine.
Another thing plants require is ven
tilation. \ florist always has the fin
est system Of ventilation in his houses.
OF course it is hard to get things down
to such fine points in a private house.
hut we can. by raising and lowering
windows frequently change the at
mosphere to all life.
Another matter of importance in
plant growing is watering. Showerin@
is almost as necessary as root water
Ing. The leaves Of the plant are Gov
cred with pores. and the plant breathes
through them If these pores become
clogecd with dust and dirt the plant
surely suffers Showcring. therefore,
removes the dirt from the pores and.
generally speaking. insurcs a healthy
plant. Where plant fails to get this
moisture the leaves turn yellow and
fall off. and the plant takes on a Sickly
appearance.
In the house during the winter it is
a great benefit to plants to keep water
evaporating on stoves, register or "a
diators in rooms where artificial heat is
used While sweeping or busting the
room indoors or the piazza outdoors it
is we'll 10 cover plants with a light
thin cloth Another thing to remember
is to remove all dying leaves as soon
as they turn yellow; also cut off all
flowers as soon as they commence to
fade and never throw them down
among the plants to decay. If plant
shows a tendency to grow tail and
branchless cut it back at least one
third.

Selection of Seed.

Seed selection is one of the most i'm
portant details connected with success
full agriculture, and too much care
cannot be exercised, says Farm and
Ranch. The annual loss from plant
ing poor or worthless seed is enormous
and cannot be computed in dollars and
cents. Besides the loss of crop.
there is always the danger of noxious
weeds being introduced with the cheap
seed. Only the purest seed is worth
planting. and it can be obtained only
from reliable seed houses.

the better During winter they get
alsike clover or alfalfa hay. If these
can always be secured we would feed
them a limited amount of beetS and
turnips until lambing time with hay
After lambing time increase roots
However. we cannot depend upon the
bay on account OF catchy weather. so
we use Silage. five or six pounds a day
each if not too heavy in corn. We
calculate to feed Silage and roots to
all about once week in addition for
relish. We feed beets to all milking
ewes. We separate all ewes about to
have lambs from all the other sheep
and never allow rams with the ewes
except in breeding season.
Our methods never involve serious
trouble. Sometimes sheep do not get
enough exercise Then we feed hay
or roughage in the field on pleasant
days Often comes a warm spell and
If feed is given in the same quantities
as usual the animals will get over

the ration, especially grain, if any is
being fed. and silage We keep all
ewes as long as the mouth is unbroken

mothers. When lambs come we feed
