fower-beds of grotesque shape filed
with flowers whose colors fought
fiercely among themselves. The back
porch which connected with the wash
house by an arbor Of grape-vines. was
covered with climbing rose, and
honey-suckle. while the wash-house
itself was hidden in mass Of wis

The garden was separated from the
lawn by six feet Of honeysuckfe hedge,
which grew so luxuriantly that 1t had
to be trimmed yearly. All summer
long this hedge was thing of ravish-
ing beauty. and the fragrance Of those
blossoms haunts the memory still.
This back yard was always the place

HOW WATER MOVES IN THE SOIL.

Most farmers, we think, are under
the impression that water moves from
the surface straight down into the soil
that is, evenly on all sides. when 1t
Is applied to a single spot or in ditch.
This is not the way the water is abb
sorbed.
Government experiments in Cali
fornia orchards show the lateral
movement of water Is surprising.
Where water was sent through irri-
eating bitches between rows of trees
the soil was wet to considerable
depth but in wedges of V shapes and
that the water had moved laterally
only about two feet.
In soils that are In good condition
the movement Of water either up or
down is not very great but the lateral
movem ent is extremely slight. This
knowledge is of vast Importance in the
application Of fertilizer and explains
many Of the failures because they
must have water to make them avail
able as plant food and II placed too
far from the plants the latter will be
receiving no benefit.
These facts will be OF value to the
growers of fruit and vegetables where
drenching or sprinkling Is resorted to-.
OF course natures way OF supplying
moisture to the entire surface is the
best but If we water our plants 1t is
better to apply fertilizer first and then
give a thorough drenching in order
that the moisture will dissolve the
fertilizer and send 1t to the roots.

Much Of the kitchen work was done
on the long back porch whose latticed
sides. covered with roses and vines,
kept out the late morning sun but al
lowed the cool breezes to filter
through.
It was mothers own idea. Rightly,
she said that woman should have
pleasing things to look at while doing
her work ana that the beauty Of the
flowers, and vines, and trees were an
inspiration and a comfort during the
long summer days.

People of the towns. who have few

CURING c0W-PEA HAY
BY H. f. GRINsTEAD, MISSOURI.

Is good circulation Of air, the hay
may be put there even before it is
thoroughly cured. provided 1t is not
bulked in large quantities.
It 10 not possible to stack pea-hay
In the open with any degree of sue
cess unless special preparations are
made.
In Texas, where a great deal Of this
popular forage Is grown, it is stacked
in the field by setting four posts in the
ground. making a square IL feet
across.
The cured hay Is stacked between
these till about four feet deep. then
four strong poles are spiked or wired
to the posts and several other poles
laid across. these making a platform
that will hold another layer of hay,
when the same process is repeated till
the top Of the posts is reached, all be-
ing covered with grass hay Of some
kind to keep dry.
In this way the hay will settle. leav-
ing an air space where the poles are
laid across. The stack may be made
smaller than IL feet II desired. and
where there Is not much in bulk 1t
may be stacked before being perfectly
dry.
Never bale pea-hay from barn un-
less 1t has had month in which to
cure. 1t will mold easily and be
worthless and when cured properly
cannot be beaten. even by clover or
alfalfa.

THE DRAFT HORSE.

The breeding Of draft horses has
come to be very profitable adjunct
to- diversified farming, and at no time
during the last fifteen or twenty years
his the price been higher for good
draft and heavy farm horses. While
the automobile may, 10 a certain ex-
tent, have replaced the horse for city
delivery. still the bulk of the farm
work is done with horses: and prices
for good stock are as high or higher
than ever. There Is not the demand
foi fundamentally and lightweight
horses that there used to be, but good,
smooth draft and heavy farm horses
are bringing good prices. There Is
little reason why the farmer should
not continue to raise horses Of this
kind, since brood-mares-and stall
lions. too, for that matter--will pro-
duce stronger and better colts for
having been kept steadily at work on
til farm.
On the home farm we have raise1
some Of the cleanest, best colts, and
worked the mares right along. There
a"e certain conditions under which ::
does not seem to be practical to put
the breeding stock into harness, but
on many farms these conditions are
not met. Where a farmer must rely
almost wholly on hired help to drive
his teams, 1t may not be practicable
to put pure-bred stock into harness.
If the farm boy shows an interest in
horses, raise some good drafters. Put
a good harness on them, and tell tn
boy this Is his team to work. and
there will be no question about the
care they will get. You will find the
boy, after a days work., out currying
off the horses. making; sure they are
comfortable. I speak from expert
ence, and know tina. when these
horses are offered for sale they will
bring q good price.-Geo. P, Grout.

HOW TO USE "A HOE,

So many people have a horror OF
using a hoe. It Is the most comfort
able implement to be found in the
equipment Of a gardener or farmer.
and 1t Is handy to us, for SO many
purposes that one car not get nong
without It.
Probably one reason that people do
not like the hoe is that ost hoes ex-
plain at once how ".ull as hoe
came into proverbial use.
A dull hoe Is certainly not . pleas
ant implement with which to work.
The good gardener -.-ill keep his IA
vorite hoe filed to sharp edge all
IT, time. It is impossible to grind a
hoe on grindstone because the bevel
must DO on the upper side Of the
blade, when It Is in use in order to
make the hoe bite" into the soil.
File your hoe, making the bevel
about twice as wide as the thickness Of
the blade. Then keep 1t bright and
when you go out after weeds the hoe
slips through the soil 30 easily that
hoeing II not much like hard work.
In hoeing long slow movement
should be made. II the soil ID in good
condition. Simply "scufiing'' half an
inch Of the top soil is enough to kill
weeds and one can 60 over a lot Of
ground in one day II the hoe is sharp
and bright and the strokes long and
smooth.
With q sharp hoe one can cut
thistles. dock. dandelions and other
noxious weeds with quickness. dis
patch and ease. It is light to handle,
easy to use and more effective than
any other implement for many pur-
poses.
In choosing a hoe select one the
blade Of which lies. not quite fiat on
the floor when you are standing erect.
with the hoe handle extending from
your hand when In working posi-
ton to the floor. The heel Of the hoe
should not quite touch the floor from
this position.
Such q hoe will Bile into the soil
easily. when 1t is bright and sharp and
Will work smoothly nd effectively.
Sharpen the hoe as soon as 1t gets
|ncticeably dull. This WI" be hard on
the hoe but it saves muscle and hoes
are cheap. Carry q small fiat file In
your hip pocket and do not allow
nick to stay In the hoe minute after
1t is made.
