QUICK, COOL REFRESHMENTS.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner
I would like to tell you how l pre-
pared a dainty luncheon for a few
young friends that dropped in I'M
expectedly last week.
1t was voted success and may help
others a t just such a time.
The fire was out and to build it
would take some time. besides. the
day was extremely hot. which sug-
gested something cool to eat.
quickly creamed some club cheese,
spread it over water thins and pressed
half nut-Tneat in the center l then
took saltines, put two together with
a peanut butter filling. served straw
berries with cream, and sponge cake:
fresh, cold tea stood in a pitcher in
the pantry. | filled cups half full of
this, squeezed in the juice of half a
lemon put in few pieces of broken
ice sweetened to taste, and filled the
cups up with cold water. All was pre-
pared in about half an hour, and I
could sit right down with my friends
and enjoy their company.
SWEET SIXTEEN.

THE ROSE GARDEN
How Set Out Roses. Cultivate and Arrange.
Them for Effect
By r. Duane Bromley

written Specially for Social Corner.)
Climbing roses are generally set
Whefe they may be trained up the side
OF the house. or along the porch.
SnouId such places be too shady, do
not try it. A sunny spot should be
selected. where they can be trellfsed
and still show well from the street.
The hybrids should be set in the
garden in rows four feet apart, the
plants every three feet in the row.
rms allows room for one to cultivate
the ground around and between them.
And when they are grown larger it
Will be more convenient for a lady to
get in among them.
A rose bush UP against the fence,
among the weeds. will grow and bloom
in season, but the flowers are small
inferior and unattractive.
Fruit trees need care. such as prun-
ing and cultivation, to produce perfect
fruit. The vegetable garden requires
much care and labor. or one gets poor
returns. and the same rule applies to
flowers.
One cannot fertilize a rose bush too
highly. if done in the proper manner.
When they are young, there can be,
for two or three seasons. something
else grown between them in the row,
such as tuberoses, gladio1is or lilies,
ything that will not shade them too
much. After the plant has sent up
new growths of good length, and these
nave bloomed, they should be pruned
down to two or three buds, early the
next spring. This. to an amateur,
seems wrong. but it is the way to get
the very best results. A hybrid rose
branch has in a spray of leaves just
five. Should growth appear having
a seventeen spray, cut it out, as it
will be strife and never bloom.
The most desirable hybrids possess
the three following requisites: First
they should be hardy enough to stand
zero weather; second. they should have
a long, stiff stem; third they should
be slow in opening, for then when fully
opened they remain fresh so much
longer. The long pointed bud and
waxy foliage is also highly priced
I give here the names of fifteen pos
sessing to a great extent the qualities
mentioned:
Avoca-crimson scarlet
Blumenschmidt-a grand yellow rose.
Rehea Reid-vivid scarlet and double
as American Beauty.
Alice Reconsideration pink
Chateau Des Clos Varigeat-called
the black rose.
MISUNDERSTANDING white, laced
pink.
Mary Miller-coppery yellow, peachy
shadings.
Olivia-deep rosy red.
Mrs. Potter Palmer-apricot pink.
Mrs. Robert Paary or Climbing
aiserin-beautiful waxy white.
Cherry Ripe-very large, bright pink
White Killarney-the grand white
Irish rose.
Etoile de France Cor Star of Franco
-clouded velvety crimson.
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1911-07-01

Frau Karl Druschki-or white
American Beauty.
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt-creamy
white. blush center.
There are many others, but these are
among the best. l would advise any
one adding to or starting a new rose
garden not to put out too many diff
ferent ones, but to select ten, if you
have room for twenty, and get two of
each. Then when wishing to gather a
few roses you will be more apt to
have one or more of each color that are
fully opened.
Luther Burbank. the horticultural
wizard, SO it is said, crossed 75,00U
seedlings before he succeeded in get
ting a rose to which he would give his
name.
I have one of these, four years old.
1t is pinkish crimson and very free
boomer. 1 counted over forty buds
upon it last fall when the ground was
thing in the garden. yet the stems are
weak and short, and the buds open one
day and fall apart the next.
L am in favor of putting the plants
out in the fall, as they get a better
start for the following season. They
should be well mulched with straw
from a horse stable, or if leaves are
used take a narrow strip of poultry
netting, cut in lengths of three or four
feet and draw the ends together
around the plant. fastening them well
together. Into this crowd the leaves
firmly down. These holders will last
for several winters. Careful mulching
will give you fine roses.
A "Bower of Beauty
Set three posts seven or eight feet
high, in the form of a triangle. each
one nine feet from the other with one
open side facing the street. Fasten
any kind of common wire fencing
across the other two sides, two feet
from the ground. Facing this from the
street set q crimson rambler at the
left hand post, then a white rambler
Baltimore Belle is good one), next
a violet rambler. Thus you will have
yellow then a Dorothy Perkins pink
and another crimson one at the right
hand post.
AS these grow, train them in and
out through the wires, always toward
the center. After the second year, ado
another section of the fencing, which
should reach above the posts, and train
the growths carefully the third year
cutting out nothing but the dead wood
The fourth year you will have 4
Bower of Beauty that will cause people
to stare with admira ton. 1 would sug-
gest for the crimson the new ever
blooming, or Flower of Fairfield.
l have mass like this now in full
bloom (minus the blue as it is to,
young), and it seems to be very at
tractiye to owners of kodaks and thai,
friends, as it forms a beautiful back
ground or a place to hide all but the
face.

months bill should be smaller. l set
my wits to work to find out a way,
with this result: Where it took four
burners to cook four things, | now use
one burner to cook four things. This
is the way l manage: l place a stove
cover over burner and use four tin
coffee cans [ cooked today for family
of four, potatoes (cut in half, peas,
coffee and a stew of meat. Everything
was well cooked. 1t took a little ex-
perimenting, but the results are very
satisfactory.
Hope some of the Cornerers will try
it. 1t has been suggested to me that
[ send account of it to Ladies Home
Journal but | preferred giving the
benefit of my experience to Social
Corner.
For the sake of the weak brother
1 never use liquor of any kind in my
cooking-not even cider.
L have been very glad that so far
recipes including these things never
find their way into Social Corner let

GLAD TIDINGS OF FINE
 CROPS OVER ALABAMA Demonstration Agents From Thirty five Counties Report Unan imous Opinion That Conditions Have Been Most Favor
 able to Young Corn and Cotton

Auburn, June 1.-(Specia1.) )--Glad tidings of hopefuness and the prospects of great crops comes from the farmers in Ala bama, not professional optimism, but a | sincere unanimity in the thought that this year will be a big one in Alabama agri-
 culture, is voiced in the reports of coun- I ty demonstration agents, from 35 coun- I ties, to J. c. Phelps of Auburn, district
 agent of the federal farm demonstration
 work.
 l Weather conditions have been almost | universally favorable to young corn and cotton. In only one report, that of E. c. Bledsoe of Russell county, is there any declaration that the crops are in need of more favorable weather. MT. Bledsoe writes that rain is needed in Russell. But elsewhere the weather has been favorable, and besides the weather, a still more potent factor for lasting success in farming is at work-the farmers are in terested in farm demonstration work and in scientific methods, accofding to the men who made the reports, and follow directions, farm clean and listen to ad- vice. The almost prevailing sentiment is voiced in the report of E. O. Calhoun, demonstrator for Clark county: ''The people here appreciate the efforts of the government to help them; still there are oss-backs" fho sheer at book learning. but the general condition is favorable to advanced methods"
 The farmers, according to the reports. have made good use of the favorable weather, and crops generally are clean. In Butler county there is an exception, but J. E. Helms, the Butler demonstrator explains the grass by a local economic condition. He says:
 q discovered considerable grass in crops upon my last trip, due to improper cultivation and over-cropping. I am more firmly convinced every day I travel that the people are trying to work too much lands to the blow"
 It is just such local problms as this ant general problems of good farming that each of the demonstrators is trying tc solve. Each of them tells, in his report of a special policy which he urges; the policies include rapid and shallow culti- vation, selection of seed for planting, clean farming, breaking crust of land. the planting of legumes, the planting of hog feed, and a dozen other processes which are being sanctioned by the princi- pies of good farming. Especially is the use of modern farm implements and farm machinery urged by the demonstrators; many of them, in their reports to MT. Phelps tell of meetings and demonstra- tions in the use of farm machinery.
 The report of each demonstration is in detail, covering his inspection of each of the farmers who work under him. In the reports, however, there are general re- marks, which furnish valuable informa-

CLAIMS PAPER
 KNOCKS ALABAMA

Montgomery, June l. Y (Specialo Y Commissioner of Immigration Lee Cow art has received a letter from H. Y. Bainaik of Silverton. Baldwin county, containing a complaint against the Ma tional Printing company of Omaha, Neb The complaint is written in Bohemian, and MT. Cowart has not yet been able to ascertain its nature. From what can be gathered, however, from sh hort English note, it seems that MT Hainaik, who is promoting a Bohemian coloni- zation project in Baldwin county, has taken considerable urffbrage at certain articles which have appeared in the paper published by the National Print ing company of Omaha. It is under stood that this paper has endeavored to discourage immigrants from comin g tc Alabama. MT. Cowart will visit Mir. Hainaik within the next few days and will fully investigate the matter.
