received wounds in the Wilderness that
he will carry to his grave. Half of his
family is in the United StaIes.

On the bottom shelf is galvanized
pan. 6 inches deep. This is filled with
rich sell composed of leafmold and
highly fertilized garden soil. In this
the seeds are planted: the pot plants
are arranged upon the shelves.
The whole thing should be put to-

Select a window for your garden
that can be ventilated without any

absolutely air-tight.
Do not have the shelves too near

It is very cold. place several thick

The soil used for potting should be
composed largely of leaf mould and

Pots. pans, baskets. boxes should
be provided with holes for drainage.

Be careful about the temperature.

thus injure the looks of the post. On
the other hand. holes through the
posts weaken them. and therefore this
method is, in general. unsatisfactory.
The simplest. easiest. and cheapest
way of fastening a wire fence to a
concrete post is by encircling the post
with wire one size less than the
corresponding wire in the fence prop
er and by twisting this wire around
the strand of the fence. This is done
in two ways. The fastening wire is
placed around the post. twisted upon
itself and then to the fence wire; or
one end of the fastening wire is twist
ed around the fence wire, and the
free end is then carried around the
post and twisted on the other side 10
the same wire. Either plan is good.
but care must be taken to draw the
fastening wire tight. or else stock

raise or crush down the fencing with
their heads. If any trouble is expe-
rienced the post should be roughened
at the fastening point with a cold
chisel

Uncle Peter sat down on a rock
overhanging the clay bank which
sloped up about four feet above the
lazy brooklet. He carefully arranged
his expensive rod, placed his fish bas-
ket near by and entered into a disser-
tation on angling that would make old
Ike Walton get up and leave the aqua
rum.
In the meantime Tacks decided to
do some bait fishing. so VIVA an old
case knife he sat down behind Uncle
Peter and began to dig under the rock
for worms.
Fishing is the sport of kings" the
old man chuckled; AN it's a long eel
that won't turn when trodden upon. If
you're not going to fish. John. do sit
down! You're throwing a shadow
over the water and that scares the
finny monsters. A fish diet is great
for the brain. john You should eat
more fish"
There's many a true word spoken
from the chest" l sighed, just as
Uncle Peter made his first cast and
cleverly wound about eight feet of
line around a spruce tree on the OPP
posite bank.
The old man began TO boil With ex-
cite1nent as he pulled and tugged in
an effort to untangle his line. and just
about this time Tacks became the
author of another spectacular drama
In the search for the elusive worm
that feverish youth known as Tacks,
the Human Catastrophe, had finally
succeeded in prying the rock loose,
and Immediately thereafter Uncle Pc
ter dropped his rod with yell OF ter
ror and proceeded to follow the man
from Cooks.
The rock reached the brook first,
but the old gentleman gave it warm
hustle down the bank and finished a
close second. He was in the money
all right
Tacks also ran-but in an opposite
direction.
For some little time my spluttering
relative sat dumbfounded in about two
feet of dirty water, and when finally
dipped him out of the drink he looked
like a busy wash-day. Everything was
damp but his ardor.
