John H. Finley, president OF the

talking to group Of librarians at the

only fool themselves. The men might

Tho Goats for MIX.

perhaps the most prolific mixer, but

Protecting Rose. In Winter.

After mild summer and fall, a
severe winter is very hard on both
utility and ornamental vegetation, as
the growth Is very green and unripe.
Amongst the first to suffer would be
varieties of roses, and their protec-
tion should be attended to before
the slightest frost occurs.
Take wood rammer and ram the
soil as hard as a road all around each
plant; then place forkful or two Of
stable or COW manure round the stem.
Let this come up little way under
the branches. but not far, as 1t is the
neck or collar that wants wrapping.
and II this is protected, there is little
danger OF the plants being injured.

KILLING INSECTS
DURING WINTER
Nothing Is Quite So Effective as
Ot8xfn4 Out Heart Of Ant
Mound and Flooding
With Water.
(By @. H. GLIrzKEA

(By g. H. GLITzKE.)
The common red ants do great bit
OF damage to the alfalfa fields In some
sections OF the country. The spots
whore they kill the alfalfa are usually
only about a square yard or two
where they build their mounds, but a
great many of these In the field count
for quite large patch where no al
falfa grows.
Some people try to destroy them by
sinking bottles Into their mounds SO
that the ants fall into them.
This system is not always effective
as 1t 10 hard to trap them all and as
long as few remain the trouble will
continue.
There is nothing quite as effective
as the winter killing which consists
In digging out the heart OF the
mounds In the winter and then pour
Ing water into the excavation thus
made so 1t soaks into the ground and
freezes those that may still be living.
This method usually proves very
satisfactory. Out of large Held
where they were killed In this way
during the last winter only very few
of the many ant hills had any ants
remaining in them by spring and 1t is
quite evident that II the work had
been done more carefully every one
of them would have been killed.
The work should be done very
thoroughly. 1t does not take much
digging at each mound. but it should
be done In the winter time so there is
no chance for them to rebuild and
the weather is SO cold that they must
freeze.
Where other methods have failed
this has done the work.

How TO be Certain OF

BEAUTY AND SANITATION.

are not in happy state, it must be
admitted.
1t would he hard to conceive of an
individual who does not feel an ad-
miration for beautiful things. Peo-
pie view things from different angles,
with different thoughts and different
emotions, yet all have Ideas and
standards of what is beautiful in ma
turo and the mind which feels itself
uplifted by the harmony in sound or
color or design, would not part with
the ability to feel thus for any cnsid-
Grafton. 1t is joy to know the thrill
which whatever is striving for perfec-
ton awakens
Just now people everywhere are
awakened to the fact that II a city Is
to grow and prosper as rapidly as the
conditions permit, one important fac
tor must not be lost sight OF, must be
made attractive to the eye.
The movement has become world
wide. Few there are In city or town
and city are being made better places
happier places in which to live.
when you seek TO make the city
beautiful, you are making your prop
crty more valuable and your sur
roundlngs more pleasant and health
ful. No home is so humble that IT
cannot be kept sanitary and Its sur
roundngs kept celan.
The city beautiful is one Of the
many undertakings Of the world
which can never be finished, because
betterment Is always possible.
