Preparation of the Garden for
Next Year.

Here are a few good plans to put
your garden in the best shape for next
years crops. After the various vege-
tables have ripened and the plants
died, the garden should be plowed. II
you are keeping chickens, 1t would
be we'll to harrow and sow to vetch
or rape, either OF which will give you
good crop of green food for the
chickens. This can be planted as late
as August Is. Sow 1t thickly and give
1t plenty Of water. This crop will
make a good green feed for the chick.
ems until it gets too dry and then 1t
can be cured and made into a water
mash as needed. This makes a very
good substitute for the green feed
during winter months.
II you have no chickens, and there
fore have no use for green feed, We
suggest that you plant the garden to
clover. Glover belongs to the legumin-
Gus class of plants, which put nitrogen
back into the sSil. Let this crop grow
until just before frost, then plow it
under. This will enrich the soil and
tighten it.
In any event, the garden should be
plowed in the fall, particularly where
the soil is heavy. This will permit
the frost to break up and decompose
the soil during the winter months,
making the plant foods more avail
able in the spring. Before planting,
the entire garden should be gone over
with 4 disk harrow.
1t will be still better II you will
cover the ground with fertilizer be-
fore blowing. There is nothing better
for this perhaps than good sod, which
accounts for better crops the first
year than later on. Stable manure is
good.
II the soil is very heavy and sour,
put lime on, in the form Of air slaked
lime or ground raw lime stone.

DON'T LET WRINKLES COME

acquiring wrinkles.
II the eyes are weak or overstrain-

drawing the forehead down in wrin-
kles about the eyes. thus giving your
self a cross look that you probably do
not deserve. Pressing gently the

MUCH Benefit BY SPRAYING
Reasons Why Llme-sulphur Is Best
Solution to Use on Apple Trees
Study for Grower.

The growing Of apples is an enor'
nous industry which is constantly ex.
banding. This is due largely to the
fact that Of all fruit the apple is in
most steady demand, and Is very re-
liable crop. The profits on a well
conducted apple ranch or orchard are
fairly large, the labor entailed in car.
ing for the trees and marketing the
crop is not excessive, and there is
scarcely any section OF the country in
which some varieties Of apples will
not thrive.
Spraying is the one operation above
every other which determines the
market value Of apples, and yet In
many instances it receives the least
attention Of all the orchard work, 40
cording to a Farm and Home expert.
The matter Of spraying Is one which
must be given careful attention and
study by each grower. for the reason
that the practice giving the very best
results in one section may be OF In
different value in another.
For instance, the Ben Davis is so
seriously russeted by application OF
bordeaux mixture that, as a rule.
naturally fine fruit of this variety will
be rendered second class II this spray
is used.
Lime-sulphur solution is apparently
as effective as bordeaux mixture in
the control of apple scab. and will
control leaf spot and other minor
troubles. In sections where spraying
for bitter rot is required the lime
sulphur treatment for scab and leaf
spot could be followed by applica-
lions Of bordeaux mixture for bitter
rot and apple blotch, as 1t has not yet
been determined that the llme-sul-
phur spray win control these diseases.
Arsenate of lead is unquestionably the
poison to use with the llme-sulphur
mixtures.

To Adjust the Veil.

II one goes about adjusting the veil
on the tiny hat in the ordinary way,
the hair will be plastered against the
face in the most depressing fashion.
Wells must be very carefully adjusted
to small brimmed hats or hats with
no brims at all.
The lower edge of the veil must be
pinned around the throat and fasten-
ed with a hairpin at the nGpe OF the
neck. All the fullness Of the veil
should be disposed of here rather than
on the hat, as in the old way. Just
enough fullness should be left to
reach the hat, where the veil should
be pinned in place, and as 1t If drawn
up the hair will be pressed upward
with a surprisingly good effect.

Blossoms for Fall.

The spring brings its sweet, dainty
little flowers, synonymous with love
and hope, the summer blazes with
brilliant garish colors, and the fall
has its own softer tones with which
to decorate the pleasant harvest time.
Gold, brown, deep red, purple, and
yellow have long been the standard
fall lines, but there are many other
shades that can be enjoyed IN the
autumn garden.
While they bring q breath Of sad
ness with them, still the time Of the
golden rod and the purple aster and
the black.eyed Susan is perhaps the
dearest Of all to those who dwell
amidst natural scenes.
Why not have the same beautiful
wild wood colors In our fall gardens?
Why not bring the harvest spirit into
your own life by growing the harvest
flowers about your home.
In the early autumn days, after the
riotous summer blooms have gone. we
can fill their places with cosmos. sal
Was and dahlias. Asters with their
shades Of blue and purple. great
blotches of warm colored marigolds,

very respectfully long. but these few

replying with 10 guns under the direO'

Pettigrew's advance was utterly de-
moralized and Wilcox fell back and
veered to the right. Pickett's men
pressed on and in hand to hand cod
iiict carried the first Federal line, but
were son driven back and were finally
forced in rapid retreat, the Federals
pursuing closely. According to some
writers, twothirds of Pickett's imme-

FEDERAL SOLEIERS
KILL d MEXICANS

Douglas, Ariz, March 3. -Four
dead MeXicans and number
who had been wounded, were
taken to Aqua Prieta today, from
a point ON the border about five
miles from here, where United
States cavalrymen fought for a
half hour yesterday against a
bana Of Mexicans.
No Americans were injured in
the fighting, which was fierce
while it lasted, the Mexicans fin
ally being driven away.
The commander of the Mexi-
can party claims that the Ameri
cans fired first shot but thisis de-
MED by the American Officers.
According to tie United States
officers, Lieutenant Nicholson
and detachment of fifteen
troopers were fired upon by a
band of Is Mexicans, without
warning. The patrol returned
the fire. Lieutenant Nicholson
sent for reinforcements, and the
Mexicans were finally compelled
to retire, leaving their dead and
wounded on the field.
