tell, or Syringa or Mock Orange For
low growing ones use japanese Bar
berry or RegeIs Privet
Do not plant shrubs too closely, but
consider their possible future size, and
until they reach full size the space
may be filled with low growing an
nuals or perennials.
A very attractive effect can be pro-
duced with the least expenditure by
having the high and dark leaved
shrubs occupy the background, the
outer limits or farthest corners of, the
lawn, while in front of these may be
planted the lower growing and bright
leaved species. Close in front of
these lower growing shrubs a row of
low growing ANIMALS may be arrang-
ed.
Thorough preparation of the soil by
deep spading and liberal dressing of
weel rotted manure will be well re-
paid by strong, vigorous plants.
All the attention shrubbery requires
is an occasional hoeing to keep down
the weeds and some fertilizer applied
in the fall to keep up the fertility of
the soil. While speaking of fertiliz-
ing shrubs in the fall I will also say
that if your lawn does not have a deep
rich green color when there Is no lack
of moisture, it needs some fertilizer,
and this is best applied by covering
it in the. fall with manure and in the
spring raking it off again. You will
be surprised at the change it will
make in the color of the lawn.
Shrubs of all kinds should be plant
ed in the spring as soon as the frost
is out and the ground is in working
order This will give the plants some
root growth before hot weather ar
rives, and while it is possible to plant
shrubs until the middle of May, they
will not do as we'll as if they were
planted earlier.
For display and cut flowers may be
mentioned asters, dah,ias, gladiolous,
sweet peas, and many other. How
ever, we must not sacrifice our lawns
for display. The best plan is to have
your lawn planted with shrubbery or
some snowy flowers and raise your cut
flowers in the garden.

DISCOUNT GOVERNMENT NOTES
Certificates on Irrigation Projects Sold
A. Fifty Cents on Dollar.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 14.-Represen-
tative Smith, democrat, Texas, told the
house ways and means committee to-
day that thousands of dollars in gov
eminent certificates of indebtedness
issued in connection with various irri-
cation projects, were being circulated
in the west at so cents on the dollar.
He said the paper represented ran
cheers pay for work done on projects
and which they were to be allowed by
the government to exchange for land
when the irrigation projects were COM
pleted. AS the projects have not been
completed the holders have been forced
to discount the paper in order to buy
the necessities of life, he declared.
Mr.. Smith urged favorable action on
the bill before the committee for the
issuance of s3O,0OO,OOO in government
certificates of indebtedness to complete
the irrigation projects.

STARTING EARLY PLANTS.

The season for starting early plants
such as cabbage, caulifower, egg
plants, peppers and also some flower
seeds will soon be at hand.
These can be started in a box in
doors, in a hotbed or cold frame
when the weather will permit, but of
the whole the hotbed is by far the
best as a more even temperature can
be maintained and the soil will not
dry out so quickly, thus securing a
much better termination of seed.
The benefits to be derived from a
hotbed are so great that no farmer
should be without one. The proper
thing to use for a covering is regu-
lar sized hotbed sash. They can be
purchased for about two dollars ready
glazed, and if given an occasional coat
of paint they will last lifetime
Make a frame of two-inch plank on
which your sash will fit snugly, hav
ing it eight inches deep on one end
and II inches deey on the other. This
will give your sash a slant to drain
off water and it will also draw the
heat from the sun much better than
if it We're lying perfectly level.
The high side of your hotbed should
always be toward the north. In the
bottom of your hotbed place about
two feet of horse manure, which has
been previously heated and worked
over several times. Tramp this down
evenly and place the frame upon it;
now put in from three to four inches
of fine soil, put on the sash, and let
it stand for a few days. After the
bed has stood a few lays and the tenn
perature gone down to 80 or 80 de-
grees, the soil should be made fine and
level. Rows should be marked about
six inches apart and one fourth inch
deep. In these rows sow the seeds
and firm the soil we'll over the seed.
1t is much better to sow the seed in
a hotbed in rows, rather than in drills,
as you will not be so apt to mistake
the young plants, and if the ground
should become hard it can be loosen
ed.
Never allow the soil to become dry,
as there is quite a strong heat aris-
ing from the bottom and if the soil
becomes dry the plants are very cas-
lily burned off, but an oversupply of
moisture should always be guarded
against, as too much water has ten
dency to cause the plants to damp
off"
Give fresh air whenever the wea-
Their will permit so that your plants
will grow strong and stocky.
When the second pair of leaves ap-
pears, on most plants they should be
transplanted to stand at least four
inches apart. If plants grow too close

GARDEN TALKS.

Every farm home should have q
lawn, and if driveways or old build
ings interfere, they should be altered
to make the change possible.
Nothing adds more to the beauty
and appearance of cou.1try home
than a fine lawn with a nice flower
bed or some shrubbery on it.
The charm of shrubbery is that it
gives a full or we'll groomed appear
ance, and shrubs are as much a part
of a we'll balanced garden as the
lawn or flower borders
Do not cut up the lawn with too
many flower beds or shrubs unless
the lawn is very large, and if this
is the case nothing will add a richer
appearance than a bed of cannas sur
rounded by salvias and around these
have a border of low growing ANIMALS,
such as sweet alyssum or dwarf mas
turtiums.
If your house is on an elevation,
shrubbery can be placed around it to
much better effect than if the ground
were level.
A very pretty effect of shrubbery
can be produced by planting the tall
er growing species in back or next to
the building and in front plant some
of the lower growing species. For
tall varieties use Spirea Van Hout-

JAMES w. WADSWORTH.

The New York state legislature is
having one of the liveliest timas OF
Its career this week because the law
yers for both sides are summing up
their cases in the investigation of
pocketing a little change by way If a
bride in the bridge scandals of the
Empire state. There is no denyin
that the investigation has caused a
lot of uneasiness among certain re-
publican leaders, but the eyes of the
public are turning sharply toward
James Wolcott Wadsworth, speaker of
the New York Legislature to clean
the political atmosphere and put ev-
elybody at their ease again. Now, Mr.
WadsWorth has no. just come intn

Napkin or doilies may be marked in

prefer, but the same objection to the

used, and the monogram done on this

They are basted firmly to the material,
and then worked over and over with
the marking cotton until the letter is
entirely covered.
IN working monograms, as much var

iployed as can be cevonniently man

three different ways of marking will
give a most elaborate effect to even
J the simplest of letters.

which some women seem to find so
difficult to do, on account of the pad
ding. For this darning cotton is really
preferable TO the marking cotton, and
the softer it is the better.
Use a long black stitch just inside
the stamping, putting all the filling on
top, and using a short stitch under
meath, so as to avoid trouble in wash
ing. Be sure to run the stitches in the
Opposite direction from that in which
you intend to embroider
COUGHING is also frequently en-
ployed. If the letter is to be filled, then
straight lines of thread laid from one
side to the other at equal distances
apart, are caught down with small
stitches cross-placed so that it comes
between those in the upper row.
If, however, the COUGHING is to be
used as an outline merely, the cord is
held in the hand along the outline and
fastened down with the small stitches
just described.
Seeding Is another stitch much used
This consists Of tiny backstitches taken
lat regular intervals, each stitch being
placed between those in the row above.
Care should be taken that the seding is
done regularly and evenly, or the effect
lis entirely lost. In combination with
lsatin or whipping stitch, the back
ground consisting of seeding and the
outline of satin or whipping stitch, the
little back stitches look very well.
Cutwork Initials.
Cutwork initials are much in vogue
just now, the only stitch required for
this being a narrow buttonholing.
Special designs of lettering come for
this work, the initial being buttonholed
On both edges, and surrounded by an
outline which is also buttonholed
Cross bars, either wound or button
holed, are used to bind the two to-
gether.
The material between the bars is
then carefully cut out, so that the let
ter stands out wildly, in a sort of
medallion effect.
The outline of both the initial and
the other line is first padded or chain
stitched, and then closely buttonholed.
The cross bars are buttonholed at
the same time as the letter, while the
outline is done separately
The bars may be either buttonholed
with a picot in the center, or simply
wound, as in other cut work. The
winding is done by taking the thread
back and forth two or three times,
fastening 1t firmly in the buttonholing
of the medallion, after which the
thread is wound over the three span
ming stitches to make a firm cord.

Exchange
Marking the Linen

The bride to be is very busy person
these days, what with the tailor and
the dressmaker and the milliner, in ad-
dition to all the problems of house
furnishing that must naturally con-
front those about to set UP an estab-
lishment of their own.
Perhaps that department OF her house
fitting that fills her with the most
pride is her linen chest. She is
looking forward with eagerness to the
day when, with g home all her own,
she will entertain her friends at din
house party or two, and, of course, to
do things as she has always dreamed
of doing them, she must not only have
dainty china and glass, but plenty of
fine tablecloths, napkins, doilies, hand
towels, scarfs, pillow shams and so
on and so forth, all neatly marked
with her initial or monograms
ut is becoming more and more the
fashion to have ones linen all marked
with the same letter or combination of
letters, but most women find it ex-
termely difficult to keep up with the
various new styles that each changing
season brings. Besides, housekeepers
are generally too busy to keep up with
passing fads, such as the marking of
doilies, for instance, at the edge or in
the center, and really, so long as the
linen is nicely Numbered and the
working neatly done, no busy woman
need trouble herself further.
Of course, if your linen closet needs
1replenishing, it is a simple enough mat
ter to swork new pieces according to
some prevailing fashion, so that in this
lway your linen VIII never. be too
much out of date
Avoid Extremes.
Two good rules for the bride to be to
follow are, first of all, to avoid ex-
marking of household linen are rarely
in good taste when one considers them
carefully from all points of view; and,
second, to mark all of the linen in the
same way, selecting either a large SIM
pie monogram or a single, elaborate,
but small initial. Perhaps the latter
plan is the best, for the marking should
be unobtrusive to be truly refined.
You will find it better to use cotton
thread in working your initials. Ask
for marking cotton, which you may
obtain mercerized this being pre-
ferred by most needlewomen on this
side, at least, to the dull finish. Either
marking cotton, or plain darning cot
ton may be used for the padding, just
as you choose.
I Stitches Used In the Work.
The stitch most often employed for
this work Is the ordinary satin stitch,
