Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1913-07-03

When Willie has to NOW the lawn he
thinks his lot is very hard;
In doleful tones he asks us why we wish
70 have so large a yard:
He bitterly complains about aches In his
arms and sides and back;
He fears the work will stunt his growth
and frets for servants that we lack.
When Willie mows the lawn he makes us
feel that he Is much abused.
And when he's through the mower looks
as II It had been badly used
He never throws a stick aside or lifts q
wire from the way;
He skips the corners shamelessly, al
though We give him double pay.
Whenever Willie mows the lawn the
neighbors all have cause to know.
And when he's through you might sup
pose that he had done It with a hoe {:
He scatters grass upon the walks, he
never gives a weed a glance;
He skins the shrubs and banks the trees,
and wants his money IN advance.
He sits upon the steps and signs and,
when he's through. can hardly crawl:
But merrily he keeps II up all day when
he is playing ball.
Elate and full OF ginger then, he skipS as
lightly as a fawn,
But all hts strength forsakes him when
our Willie has to NOW the lawn.

Wedding Invitations,

An invitation to a wedding should
be printed on heavy white paper, fold
ed once, and inclosed in an envelope
of the same size, and this placed in
the address envelope. The address
should never be typewriter, no mat
ter how many. invitations are issued.
Special written invitations are often
sent, and these should be Immediately
acknowledged in a few words of ac.
ceptance or a note Of regret II un-
able to attend. An invited guest need
not necessarily send present, but it
is a pretty courtesy to do so, even
though the offering be but bouquet
OF flowers, as a token of cordially and
congratulations.

fruit plants, such as the strawberry
and some of the bush fruits as well.
propagate by means of seeds and
nodes. With the strawberry the nodes
are formed on an elongation of certain
tissues of the plant commonly known
as runners, having their origin in the
crown of the plant. Red raspberries
and blackberries PROPAGATE in a some
what similar way, except that the
new canes that spring up have their
origin at certain points along the roots
OF the plant.
Whichever the method used in at
tanning it's end. a certain amount OF
energy is represented in each seed
and plant produced. and this expendi-
ture OF plant energy draws heavily
upon the vitality of the original plant,

permitted, the resultant fruit harvest
will not only be enhanced in value
but the period of the pl9ntation's use
fulness as a means of revenue will be
greatly prolonged thereby.
The same may be said of the tree
fruits, when left to their own will OF
reproduction, there is a tendency to
blossom and to set more fruit than the
tree is able to mature. The result is
lot of nl-shaped. badly colored and
undesirable fruit.
In making a practical application of
this principle we confine the plants to
rows six feet apart and with canes
two feet apart in the row. Then, dur
ing the spring and summer, at about
the time the new growth of the plants
are two feet tall, the terminal bud is
broken out. This causes a heavy
growth of laterals, and when these
reach length of ten or twelve inches
the tips Of these are taken off.

katherine's Point of View.

Little Katherine is a believer in the
outdoor life, and she does not confine
her fresh,air activities to her own
backyard. Her mother recently had a
load OF sand placed in the rear of the
yard, thinking Katherine would devote
her time to playing in the sand. She
did play there part of the time, and
part of the time she was out Of the
yard.
Katherine" said her mother, exas-
perated because her daughter was not
staying in the yard, don't you know |
had that man bring this sand here to
keep you in the yard?"
Mamma" replied Katherine, tell
him to come and take II away"
