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 a 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.

shades OF blue and purple, great

BROKE HORSE OF BAD HABIT
Bag Of Sand, Something Like punch
Ing Bag" Did the Business
Quite Simply.

Noah Spears. Bay Shore farmer,
has discovered way TO break horse

ter to the Wilmington (Del) News.
Spears tells the following story: 81
filed stout gunny sack with sand and
suspended II from the ceiling in the
rear of the stall by e rope in such a
position behind the horse that its
heels could have good play upon IT,
This large pendulum, needing only n
strong power to start II, would swing
with clocklike precision as soon as
the horse began to play Its acrobatic
stunts upon IT, At the first kick the
bag swung away, only to return with
more force, giving the animal much
more than 1t had sent. This unexpect-
ed return on the part OF the bag caused
the horse TO kick harder. but each time
the bag returned harder and paid tho
animal with interest, Finally the
horse. realizing that further kicking
would be fruitless, stopped kicking
The bag was allowed to hang in the
same position for an entire week, but
no more use for II was seen"

good crop of green food for the
chickens. This can be planted as late
as August Is. Sow 1t thickly and give
II plenty of water. This crop viii

can be cured and made into water

good substitute for the green iced

II you have no chickens, and there.

suggest that you plant the garden to

In any event, the garden should be
plowed in the fall. particularly where
the soil is heavy. This will permit
tho frost to break up and decompose
the soil during the winter months,
making the plant foods more avail

the entire garden should be gone over
