Requested.

1t may be a little late to plant these
beautiful flowers, but the directions
may prove of benefit to those who are
late with their planting.
One should try to plant so the
vines will keep blossoming for long
time. Every one has had some ex-
perience in regard to the vines turn
ing brown and dying, even if the
flowers have been picked. This is
said to be due to the fact that they
are planted too shallow and brought
into bloom too quickly.
One should get the best seed he
can afford. The Spencer varieties are
the best, but if one can't afford
them, the Grandifiora types will give
satisfaction.
The following directions were given
by a person who grows them for mar
ket. If the ground is hard dig the
trench two feet deep; if porous, six
inches deeper. Four inches of broken
stones should be put in first to insure
good drainage. They can not stand

SPARKIN' In A SLEIGH.

"Somehow or other, Sary Lane, said
Farmer John one night,
81 can It say that like the way our
Joe courts Nellie Bright;
He often takes her to the show and
treats her to a dinner,
He buys her candy by the box as If
he we're a winner,
He totes her to the concerts, too, for
fancy, heightened singin',
When she and he don't get back home
till the birds are wingin',
And when the snow is deep enough,
regardless of his pay,
He gets cutter and boss for spark
in in Sleigh"
"Our Joe,'' said Sarah, with a smile,
her sweet face all aglow,
els not unlike a handsome youth L
knew some years ago:
He took his girl to every show staged
in the old Town Hall,
He bought her candy by the pound,
and flowers, Spring and Fall,
He didn't hire a cutter, cause he
had one-hoss pung,
But in that he did smart courtin' in
days when I was young.
SO, John, l wouldn't be too harsh;
Joe follers dad S old way;
Remember, l said Yes when you
we're sparkin' in sleigh. -

the use of rouge is confined largely to
a certain class of women, that the

Perhaps our meaning in regard to
the views of the members of the

must be at least two feet wide. If the
trench is prepared this way it can be
used year after year by simply renew
ing the soil.
1t is we'll known fact that any
soil in which members of the legume
family have been growing is richer
for it, for these plants have the fac
ulty of attracting bacteria to their
roots which absorbs from the air free
nitrogen and diffuses it through the
soil.
In preparing the soil, it is important
that there should be plenty of nitrogen
in it, If one has clover soil use it
for a base, with one-third its bulk OF
rotted horse manure. Let stand a
week. To each bushel add one quart
bone flour mot meal If the soil is
sandy add half pint of air Stacked

Or one can mix commercial nitrates
if he has no clover soil base. Do not
use fresh manure. 1t must be SO we'll

Put one foot in the trenches; make
V-shaped and SOW in rows four inches
apart and seeds the same distance.
Pack down we'll. People use too much
seed as a usual thing. When the
plants get above the top of the trench,
fill in with soil to nearly the top;

ASTERS.


We have had numerous inquiries
about the growing of asters. Direc-
tons were given early this year for
the planting of seeds in boxes. If
they have been started long enough,
no doubt the plants are quite large
and stocky. They should be fed a
little bone meal until the temperature
is right for out door setting. They
are somewhat sensitive to cold. Set
out in soil worked deep and made
rich with old, well-rotted manure.
The secret Of success is good cultiva-
ton. When the buds appear go over
the plants and disbud, leaving only
one bud on the main branch, and one
to each side branch. By this method
there will be only two sizes of bios
SONS. The plants should be set deep
as they have tendency to lift them
selves out of the soil.

ciety Sound.

The inaugural address Of President
Woodrow Wilson in part is as follows:
There has been a change Of govern
ment. Il began two years ago. when
the house of representatives. became
Democratic by a decisive majority. It
has now been completed. The senate
about TO assemble will also be Demo
cratic. The Offices Of president and
vice president have been put into the
hands Of Democrats. What does the
change mean? That is the question
that is upermCst in our minds today.
That is the question I am going TO try
TO answper, in order, if l may, to in
terpret the occasion.
II means much more than the mere
success Of party. The success of a
party means little except when the
nation is using that party for a large
and definite purpose. No one can mis-
take the purpose for which the nation
now seeks TO use the Democratic party.
II seeks to use it to interpret a change
in its own plans and point Of view.
Some old things with which we had
grown familiar and which had begun
