How to Grow Flowers

Dear Households: Seeing several requests ~
this department for the flower lovers TO write
their experience with flowrs, l come with my
mite! hoping TO benefit some one.
win say in the first place Tor those VII
have but little time to devote to the cultlVp-
tion get only the flowers that require Mite
attention.
Roses are my favorites and are easily grown
Here is my way 10 grow them: First. dig a
hole about two feet deep. fill with good rch
soil take a cutting OF last years growth ana
plant deep I'm the hole prepared, leaving three
or four inches above ground. Turn glass
fruit lar over the cutting and leave until
the sun gets warm. then remove the jar AMI
keep well watarcd all during sumner. l grow
them Il is way and have quantities OF pretty
roses every simmer. Nset out mine any time
from October till March.
Icones dahlaS and golden glows require but
little attention and thrive in any good garden
soil.
Chrysanthemums are favorites with most ev-
cry one but require a little more attention
than the above mentioned. VIII give my plan
to raise them Dig a trench one or one and one
half feet deep, fill with good soil and wei
rotted COW manure mixed together well. Take
plants with good roots set TWO feet apart, keep
well watered and allow only one stalk from each
loot When they begin budding. water once ur
twice a week with liquid fertilizer. made by
soaking COW manure in water and keep all the
buds pnchcd back except two or three to the
stalk. | have grown fine ones this way that
were admired by ell who them.

A FIGHT WITH WOLVES.

Up above Moscow on the great plains of

with provisions, among which was large
box of sweetmeats for Elfreda and her

Elfreda's father knew they would not

Shortly after dark, as they were nearing
home and the horses were hurrying along,
Elfredas sharp eyes discovered five gaUnt
dark forms following them.

But the horses were tired. Run as fast
as they could, the wolves kept gaining,
and their howls were terrible to hear.

EIfreda's father to use his rifle. He took
careful aim, fired. and shot the leader Of
