COUNTRY FLOWER GARDENS

The farmer of today, more especially
the California farmer, is not on the
farm for the reason that so many we're
a generation or two ago: Because
he's fit for nothing else" Our farming
demands, if success is to be attained,
a scientific horticulturist with a good
business education and training.
So, too, does the farmers wife differ
somewhat from her sister of the good
old days." but the difference in her
surroundings, generally speaking, is
even greater. Yet in the midst of this
great upward and onward sweep the
farm garden of today does not appear
to be much of an improvement upon
the gardens of our grandmothers.
In those days nearly every farm
yard had a corner or other quiet spot
reserved for marigolds, candytuft, fox
gloves, Canterbury bells, four-o' clocks,
sweet alyssum, everlasting flowers,
etc. Considering our subsequent intel
lectual advancement, the increased and
increasing knowledge of Horticulture,
the amount of good literature upon the
subject easily obtainable, the greater
variety of seeds and plants every
where procurable, together with their
steady decrease in price, 1t really seems
that our farm gardens are behind the
times.
Almost everything in plant life will
thrive in California with less care than
elsewhere; all the old-fashioned flow
ers like mother used to grow" will do
better here than in any state in the
Union; can be had in greater variety
than ever before, and once planted will
be with you for life; why then, do we
not see more of them? A bunch of nice
flowers on a farmers dining table or
flower bed in his yard is certainly
more nearly in their natural habitat
than they could be in the city and
certainly are as deeply appreciated by
all who see them. Our city cousins
too often have them only because it
is 1.-THE proper thing" not through love
of them.
Let us have, year by year, steadily
improving flower plat, both in size and
quality; see that flowers are on the
table; encourage in the children not
only a love for them but desire for

THINNING THE FRUIT

The thinning of fruits upon fruit
trees during the early summer is work
which is being done more and more
by progressive fruit growers through
out the country. 1t is work which some
people seem to think entails a useless
expense. but the fruit must he picked
sometime, whether large or small, and
it costs but little more to pick 1t when
small than when full grown and IL
the thinning is done In late June or in
July the fruits which are left will be
larger and better.
Almost everyone who grows fruit,
and particularly apples, tells about the
on and off years of fruit production.
One year there is a heavy crop and
the next a very small one. This un-
evenness of fruit production can be
largely avoided by thinning.
When thinning fruits remember that
not all fruit spurs regularly produce
fruits each year; at least, not all pro-
duce a large crop; so remove all of
the fruits that have set from half of
the spurs, that these may have chance
to develop fruiting buds for the fol-
lowing year. In those orchards where
a systematic thinning of fruits is fol-
lowed 1t does not cost, as a rule, over
so cents to thin a full sized tree and
in many cases less.

THE ORIENTAL POPPY

The Oriental poppy (Papaver orien-
tale) is the most gorgeous, If not the
most beautiful, of the poppies which
grow in our gardens. 1t is a hardy
perennial, the seeds of which, having
once been sown and terminated, VIII
make plants that will produce some
bloom the following year, and there
after each year. and each plant will
bear at least a half dozen good flow
ers. The plants can usually be de-
pended upon to flower each year, Civ
ing a gorgeous display in various
shades of red. The flowers sometimes
reach the enormous diameter of eight
inches; they are cup-shaped, and their
rich crimson hue is accentuated, when
looking into the flower, by a mass of
black stamens and the black pistil in
the center The foliage is dark green
and somewhat rough. and the leaves
are more or less pinnate.
To produce plants for Towering next
year, seeds should be sown lin July or
early in August. After the plants are
through blooming is the best time of
the year to reset them; and, If there is
a particular plant of which one wishes
more plants now is the time to pro-
pagate it by root cuttings. The small
roots. are cut up into pieces about
three quarters of an inch or an inch
long, and put into the ground just the
same way as seeds would be planted.
The summer transplating of poppies
is much to be preferred to spring
planting, for the poppies make con-
siderable growth in the late summer
and early fall, so that plants which
are moved now will have chance to
become established in their new home,
thus enabling them to bloom the fol-
lowing summer; but if the plants are
reset in the spring the setback is usu-
ally so great that the plants do not
have time to recover before the bloom
ing season comes on, and as result
they fail to flower.-Suburban Life.

names, relations, habits and those pc
culiarities which distinguish each from
the general mass. Such course can
not fail to be of lasting interest and
benefit to all the family for the in
fluence of the garden persistently per
vades the whole house and "all that
in it is" The girls may learn, by get
ting flowers ready for the table, some
thing of the harmony of colors and the
art of tasty arrangement-the boys al
ways take a pardonable pride in carry
ing flowers to their teacher, either in
weekday or Sunday school, and on
such occasions are always more care
full of their personal appearance 1--WE
have been there); and, again, as flow
ers are most usually associated with
youth and pleasure, who knows but
they bring pleasure to the "oid folks"
by recalling tender memories of days
gone by."-Rural Californian.

GARDEN CONTEST

Garden contnests have transformed
some towns. Yards that were bare and
unattractive have come to bloom with
a multitude of flowers; green lawns
have replaced bare and sun-baked
earth; rubbish heaps have given way to
pansy beds; fences have been painted,
walks repaired. street trees planted
and porch and window boxes have
helped to beautify the streets and
homes. And the change has not been
entirely superficial; 1t has extended to
the moral tone and intellectual life of
the community. Many cases might
be cited of men whose characters have
been entirely altered since they be-
came interested in home gardening.
These garden contests have come to
be an annual feature in several cities
and towns in the United States, and
the interest this year has extended to
Canada.-Exchange:

ORIGIN OF THE DAHLIA

BY "a curious horticultural irony the
dahlia, which is the popular idol of all
of our daily autumn flower shows, has
a dreadfully prosaic parentage, says
the Dundee Advertiser. 1t has been
developed from the Mexican tubers in
troduced about 12O years ago by the
Swedish naturalist, DIR. Dahl, for the
purely commercial purpose of sup
planting the potato. 1t did not "catcn
on" and the dahlia dish soon disap-
peared from British tables, but our
gardeners at once perceived the great
potentalities of the flower and pro-
ceeded to produce the double dahlia
and other delightful floral fantasies.
The tubers of the dahlia, too acrid
for our insular tastes, are still eaten
in some parts of France.-Rural Cali
fornian.

the bulbs for replanting, remember
that the best bulbs are the heaviest
in comparison to their size-not neces-
sarily the largest. A healthy bulb can
be recognized very quickly by the dry,
clean, glowing appearance of the outer
skin.-Garden Magazine.

Owing to the absence of several
members of the Board of Managers
of the Annapolis Emergency Hospital
Association, the regular monthly
meeting. which usually is held on
the first Thursday in each month
was deferred until today.
The Board met at the hospital

were free patients and ten pay pa
tients.
In the dispensary fourteen cases
were treated during the month, and
one hundred cases dressed in the dis
pensary, six operations during the
month and one death. The death
was a colored physician, DR.. Kessee,
who was operated upon in Washing
ton, and when brought home was
desperately i'll. He was taken to
the hospital here. where he died.
There are now six cases in the hos
pital, two of which are colored typhoid
patients.

SOCIALISM AS A REMEDY
DR.. finckeI Saws II Has Strong Points
In Its Favor

Il believe in the dignity of labor,
but just as much in the rights of
labor said Rev DR.. Oliver Huckel
pastor of the Associate Congrega-
tional Church Baltimore Sunday, in
a Labor Day sermon. He took as his
text Come unto Me all ye that
labor and are heavy laden, and /
will give you rest; learn of Me. +"
He declared that these words of
Jesus applied to the solution of in
dustrial and social questions of the
present day.
'The laboring people are not get
ting fair share of the products of
industry" DR.. Huckel continued.
"It is not right that SO per cent.
of the wealth of the country should
be in the hands of one ninety-ninth
of the population. The wage-earn-
ers want not charity just Justice.
Tens ofthousands of weary-faced men,
women and children slave in mills,
factories and mines, earning scarcely
enough to keep body and soul togeth-
er, while the idle rich waste enough
in one summer to support hundreds of
families the year round
"This new industria democracy
or cooperative commonwealth will
have for its basis the brotherhood of
man, founded upon the spirit of JUS
tice. / will be an era of better indus
trial conditions, Corporations will
be regulated, for corporations will
still exit; labor unions will be recog-
nized, oldage pensions will be grant
ed. Strikes and lockouts will be up
planted by industrial arbitration.
There will be no child labor no work
without it's just recompense. And in
connection with this it will be recog-
nized that the man who works with
his brains-the teacher, the lawyer,
the physicians and preachers en-
titled to his just pay.
The past century was a struggle for
political liberty; the present century
will be demand for economic free
dom. In reaching this condition the
hatred of the poor for the rich, the
arrogance of the rich for the poor
must be destroyed. In the solution
socialism looms up as the most import
ant political question before the
world today. 1t is rampant in Europe
and is gaining a great foothold in
the large cities of this country.
Filled as it is with many imperfec-
tion, yet it has number of strong
point in its favor

LIEUT.. SCRANTON ON TRIAL
Engineer Officer Of BattIeship Indiana
Faces Charges In Connection With
Accident To Machinery Of That
Vaccal
Vessel

Lieut.. Edison E. Scranton, of the
navy, was placed on trial before the
general court-martial now in session
at the Naval Academy investigating
the cause and fixing the responsibility
for the accident to tne machinery of
the battleship Indiana, of the mid
shipments summer cruising squadron.
The accident occurred while the
Indiana was proceeding from Mar
seilles, France, to Gibraltar, and she
was compelled to undergo temporary
repairs at Gibraltar in order to COM
plete the cruise. Several warrant
officers have already been tried on
charges of contributory negligence in
connection with the affair.
Lieutenant Scranton was engineer
officer of the Indiana and the fact that
he was arraigned today on similar
charges gives the case a more SER
ious aspect. Altogether about a
dozen persons have appeared before
the Court, either for completely, or
as witnesses.
1t was pretty hard lines for a
couple of midshipmen who were
summoned as witnesses and have
thereby been deprived of about a
week of their leave. 1t is unlikely
that the court will complete it's ses-
ions until tomorrow. 1t will then
frame its findings to be forwarded
to the Navy Department for ap-
roval.

\ AS farewell to their young friends,
Master Weller Mccarthy and Miss
Mary Weller Mccarthy gave a party
to their young friends last evening at
Deer Lodge, to which all the children
were invited.
The little ones divided their time be-
tween making fudge and witnessing
the balloons sent up from the lawn of
Liberty Lodge by Mr.. Arthur Lee
Bosley. Several beautiful large col
ored balloons were sent up, from sew
eral of which fireworks were exploded
in the ascent. One of the balloons
was of fish-shape and its evolutions
created great excitement and amuse-
ment. Filled with gas it descended.
instead of assembled, and it skinned
and glided along the water like. a
real" fish, the children declared.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Lee Bosley gave a delightful!
launch party to friends at Arundel.
Mr.. Bosley's launch being disabled,
the handsome and commodious launch
of Mr.. Charles w. Smith was hired
for the occasion. The distinguished
party. including the Mayor of Arun-
del, Thomas w. Smith, and several of

joyed the hospitality of Captain Trench

DR.. Cecil Ordered Away After Illness
Prof Rippere Ia Charge OF Affairs
AT ST. Johns College

Prof. John y. Rippere, of st. Johns

and has full charge of the college
affairs in the absence of President
Fell, who is in Europe, and Vice
President Cecil, who has been SER
iously i'll.

Howard county, where he hopes to re-
cuperate from his recent serious i'll
ness.
DIR. Cecil suffered severe attack
of malarial fever and acute bronchitis
and he regained his strength 50 slow
", because of the weight of care of
college affairs, that the doctors said
he must have a change of scene and
air, and be removed from all business
cares incident upon college affairs at
this time.
: 1t is hoped DR.. Cecil may be much
benefited by the change. In his alb
sence Professor Rippere has charge
of affairs at st. Johns.
