Window Gardening.

No home should be without win
dow garden. In city homes trouble
frequently arises from insufficient care
in selecting plants which will with
stand the\ unfavorabe conditions usu-
ally met with. Too great heat, insult
ficient air and insufficient light are Of
ten the great faults. The first two
conditions may be remedied by much
spraying and dampening. Spread out
cloths TO protect the floor and spray the
plants frequently. If there is INSULT
cient light plants must be chosen
which will endure the shade.
Do not make the mistake of using
inferior plants for your window gar
den. Procure Vigorous plants growing
in rich soil and you will be well re-
paid Among the lowering plants suit
able for window garden are the
calla cyclameH. Chinese and English
primroses. oxalis. geraniums, hello
tropes, fuchsia and freesia. Attractive
hanging baskets may be filed with
vines to add to the beauty of the room
or porch.

Gardening Notes.


Plants growing in sunlight always
need more water than those in shade,
for evaporation and Transportation are
always greatest under those circum-
uances.
Midday watering when the sun
shines on the foliage will burn the
foliage of many of our common house
plants.
Shs ding during excessive heat win
strengthen plants and help them re-
tain moisture.
Temperature both of the air and of
the water should he considered. An
overheated and humid atmosphere
will cause straggIy, spindly growth
very susceptible TO attacks of disease.
The temperature of the water used
has been found to have a marked eff
feet on plants. Best results are OBJ
tanned when the water is about the
same temperature as the place in which
the plants are growing.
Although the watering should not
be carried ON so that a constantly wet
soil results, in watering always be
thorough. Any receptacle in which
plants are growing should have holes
in the bottom for drainage.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
THUMBS In Pius

Thumps is an ailment so common to
young pigs that knowledge of its
prevention or cure should be courted
by every breeder. The spnsmodic
jerking of the tanks is SO severe at
times as to move the entire body TO
and fro. There Is usually derange-
ment of the digestive organs and
nerves, due, it is believed, to over
feeding and lack of exercise. But
many pigs are predisposed TO the trou-
Bile by Inheritance. If you own swine
that are afflicted with thumps genera
ton after generation it will be well
TO seek the infusion Of fresh and
harder lines of blood Careful breed
ing and abundant, enforced exercise
will often prevent its appearance for
many years.
TO cure case that is well seated
is difficult, and no medicine need be
used except TO give each little sufferer
half ounce of castor oil once as a
purge and one grain of digitalis three
times day as sedative. Let the
pigs have u sunny place to lie, and in
duce activity as much as possible by
having this shed some distance from
the sow or place of feeding. If the
pigs refuse to move about they must
be driven each day until they volun-
| tarily take the needed exercise. To
shut them from their dam half an
hour daily or oftener will cause them
to worry and move about and so
prove beneficial.

Why the Watchful Owl Didn't Wiring

conclusion that birds can see behind

by the experience of a Maryland man
who had read story about an owl
wringing its own neck by looking at q
man who was walking around him.
The Marylander decided to experiment
along these lines and so procured a
fine specimen of an owl and placed
him on post.
1t was not difficult for the expert
penter to secure the owls attention,
for the bird never diverted his gaze
from the man while the latter was
present. The man began walking rap
idly around the post few feet from
it, keeping his eyes fixed upon the bird
all the while.
The owls body remained motionless,
but his head turned exactly with the

all at once the man discovered what he
had failed to notice before.
