PORTULACA.

The gemlike brilliancy OF the. little
flowers OF the portulaca is not sur
passed by any other annual of low
growth. Unfortunately, popular as IT
was in the gardens OF our great grand
mothers, we seldom see portulaca In
the gardens today. And yet there is
scarcely a better dry weather plant
for fiat bedding, carpeting and to fill
out gaps in walls and for rock work
in general, It's foliage Is %succulent and
a soft green, while the red, white, yell
low and pink flowers. like miniature
wild roses, produce a wealth OF gorge
GUS bloom. 1t is a good plant to SOW
In July for its seed does not germi-
nate until hot weather. Indeed, ignor-
ance of this fact has often led garden
beginners to believe 1t was not COM
ing up at all. 1t can be transplanted in
full flower.

TO MAKE SPRAYS STICK.

Cabbage and caulifower must be
sprayed from time TO time during the
season with an arsenical poison, 10
prevent the cabbage worm from eating
the leaves full of holes. AS the leaves
are of a peculiar texture which does
not permit water to stick to them, spe-
cial provision must be made in order
that the poison may adhere. There
have been several preparations recon-
mended for this, one OF which, the
following, l arm sure will give satisfac-
ton:
Put into an iron kettle Ave pounds
OF pulveriZed resin, n pint fish oil,
and one gallon of water. Heat these
until the resin softens, then add one
pound of concentrated I've, prepared as
for hard soap, and boil the mass for
two hours. or until 1t will unite with
cold water forming a clear amber
liquid. If the liquid has boiled away
much. add enough water to make five
gallons.

If he builds back a little more each day, the

The effect is said to be both rich and artistic.

It was his duty to find the lucky brother ''FIe was slicing turnips for the sheep on bis employ CTS farm, up among the mist clad hills of Seotland," said MT. Wilson, when I found him had traced his life from the old farm on which he was born step by step through the 40 years of ill-paid and often most unpleasant labor before I approached him It was not diff1 cult for he had held but a few positions in all those years.

DISEASE SPREAD BY INSECTS
House Fly, Mosquito and Bedbug Are Chief Sources of Con-
 taoion.

A Texas physician has demon strated that smallpox. admittedly filth disease, is communicated only by the bite of the bedbug. That yellow fever and malaria are com municable noly by bite of an 1n- fected mosquito is also an established fact. The typhoid scourge has it's in ception in the filth that is distributed by the common house fly. Rats scat ter the bubonic plague. and tubercu- losis Is contracted generally through breathing the germs that are carried in dust With these facts known It would seem an easy task to reduce or eliminate the hazard to life that IS found in these dread diseases. Mosqul- toes may be eliminated by proper drainage of stagnant pools or by oil ing the surface of such pools. They do not breed In considerable numbers save in dead water. Those that are not eliminated by precautionary meas ures may be shut out of the homes by proper screening House flies breed in trash and garbage. Destruction of these breeding places will to a large extent do away with the fly. Those that are left can be shut out of the homes by proper screening. With knowledge of the facts concerning the origin of disease the people are able to make plans for their safety. Con- certed effort Is necessary, however, and the civic pride of every communi- ty should be enlisted in warfare against known dangers such as are found In the presence of flies and mosquitoes.

Then stepped in with kindly smile and bade them cease theh work of guile. Let dogs delight, my friends said, to paw around and raise Old Ned.
