ESSENTIALS IN SOWING SEED
Heavy. Coarse Soil viii Never Pro-
duce Good Results-Never Drench
Beds or Pots.

Moisture and temperature should be
carefully considered when sowing
flower seed. Do not use soil which
will not allow of perfect drainage and
at the same time hold moisture. Pure
sand and leaf mold, or a good potting
soil mixed with white sand. will give
a good soil for sowing seed.
Never mix manure in soil which is
to be used for this purpose. Seed of
rhododendrons, kalniias and orchids
which produce very delicate growths
may be sown on live sphagnum moss.
Heavy, coarse soil will never produce
good results, as seeds-usually require
a much lighter soil than the mature
plants.
Never drench your seed beds or
pots, as that will weaken even sound
and strong seeds. Water thoroughly
enough to moisten the soil thoroughly,
as moist surface with a dry subsoil
is an evil Seeds should never be al
lowed to become dry after they have
once started to sprout.
Good drainage is an essential point
A layer of broken pots placed in the
bottom of the pot or bed IA which the
seeds are started will be found a
great aid to drainage. Do not SOW
in deep boxes or pots, as the shallow
fats" require much less attention as
to drainage.

TO PROPAGATE SMALL FRUIT
Cut Roots in Small Pieces and Plant
in Beds of Rich. Light Soil,
Keeping Them Covered.

The usual mode of propagating the
blackberry is from the shoots or canes
called suckers" which are produced
from the collar and spreading roots of
the plant. A crop of these spring up
every year. Much better plants and
many more Of them may be produced
Dy taking up the roots, cutting them
into small pieces. say an inch long,
ana planting them in beds of good
rich, light soil, with a little bottom
neat and glazed sash over them I'M
I'll the plants are well rooted. They
may then be transplanted into the
open ground. BY this method fine
plants are made in one season-much
better plants than the ordinary suck
ers from old plants The red rasp-
berry may be propagated by the same
method.
The American Black Cap family of
raspberries are propagated from the
tips of the shoots which bend over
the latter part of summer and fas-
ten in the ground. When rooted the
branch is cut about six inches above
the ground. This is their natural
method of multiplying themselves.
Plants may be grown from seed
The berries are allowed to get dead
ripe. the seeds are then washed out
and sown at once in fine, rich ground
Cover with fine earth just the depth
OF seed. Keep the soil moist un-
til plants are above ground. BY this
method new and valuable varieties
may be had
Wild blackberry vines growing along
the fence rows may frequently be
found producing an abundance of
large, juicy berries; this is largely
owing to a deep. rich, moist soil and
partial shade. If such plants are
carefully removed and given the same
character of soil and moisture good
quality of fruit may be had at small
cost. For market the best varieties
should be planted.

Little Rock, Nov. 20.-Toy pistols and cannon-crackers are on the taboo list. This is the construction that the attorney general places upon Act 275 of 1909, in reply to questions pro- pounded by Prosecuting Attorney Abe Collins of DeQuee. He writes:
 You state that it is construed by some that the act applies only to toy pistols in which blank cartridges are used. 1 do not think that is the cor. rect construction of this act. A lit. eral reading would indicate that it is unlawful in this state. "''''
 "1.-To manufacture, sell or shoot any toy pistol.
 "2.-To manufacture, sell or shoo, any cannon-cracker.
 "3.-To manufacture, sell or shoot any gun that shoots a blank cart. ridge. '' If the state is limited to toy pis. tols that shoot a blank cartridge, il is also limited to cannon-crackers that shoot blank cartridges. I am not ia. miliar with the construction of can non-crackers, but my information i. that they do not shoot blank cart ridges.
 My conclusion is, therefore, in ac cordance with your own, that it is un lawful to sell any toy pistols, whether they shoot blank cartridges or not.
