PLAN FOR BEAUTY AT HOME

The beauty which is near ct hand
is often neglected while we prize
that which is denied Hs-we refer to
the beauty and desirabllity OF the
Celastrus, or bitter sweet vine. This
native climber found in our woods
and along fences, is one Of the most
satisfactory vines that can be grown
about the home. 1t is as hardy as
granite, a quick grower, twining Sc
curely about It's support and It IL not
liable to disease. In the fall, when
flowers are scarce, 1t covers itself with
clusters Of orange-colored fruit, which
the frost opens. revealing its crimson
seeds.
Choose dark, rainy day, Il possible
for the transplanting, otherwise 40
this work at sunset-we mean in
transplantlng seedlings. Water the
seed bed thoroughly a short time be-
fore you begin to transplant; then
lift the plants, with all the soil their
roots will hold, and remove to the
permanent bed.
Keep the seedlings covered with
wet cloth. so that the heat and wind
will not dry them. With sharp
pointed stick make the hole for the
plant and then fill it with water. Plant
the seeding In this puddle, drawing
the dark soil about the stalk when
the ground has been firmed about
the plant as much as possible.
A miniature water garden is prac-
ticai, and will prove most Interesting,
needing less attention than flower
bed its size. Have q sugar or vinegar
barrel cut in two, or use wooden
tub. Sink this in the soil. Make o
potting box about twelve inches square
and fill with rich mud from q pond,
or use half rich loan, adding to the
mud or loan about one-third of we'll
rotted manure. Plant the nymphae-
root in this and place In the tub;

Care Of Manure spreader.

Nothing in the operation OF any
machine is as important as the lubri-
cation; and the manure spreader Is
no exception to this rule, says Dairy
Farmer. It should be oiled frequent
". When you first start using a new
spreader, you should go over 1t care
fully, Cling all moving parts.
Then watch the machine closely for
a while, and you win soon learn that
parts must be oiled several times IN
d days work Give the machine the
right kind Of a start and II will save
dollars for you IN needless repair
bills. Get into the habit Of oiling i
regularly as needed. Don't think that
1t does not need oil when it Is Gov
sred with manure. It may not be 9
uice JOB 1t times, but It pays in the
end. ase DEG q

Crops grown In frames are usually

those grown In the open and should

which will be dedicated as a memoir

about $25, 90 by the time that it Is
completed. 1t will be built of con-
crete block, finished on the interior
with wainscoting and plaster and
VIII have a seating capacity of about
300 people. Mr.. Roser is having the
plans drawn for the building by j

that these will be in shape to COM
mence building operations within
ten days or two weeks at most. Mr.
ROSer relates an unusual incident in
connection with the giving of this
church. He and his son, c. NJ, were
talking when his son remarked to
him that whatever money he left to
him he intended using to erect 4

This lower rate to the private con-
places electricity on a cheaper
basis In Minot than in either Grand
Forks or Fargo and the new rate will
be a direct benefit to the average con-
sumner of about 81 each month. The
matter of furnishing Juice for the

this consumption.

that they do not allow of a fair profit,

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. IA matter
of interest to everyone on the Missouri
slope east Of the river has recently
been made public. 1t seems that the
Hackneys. Patterson, Doynton and
Hoerr have recently jointed forces for
a. scheme of coloniZing their 3, 500 quar-
ter sections in Burleigh, Kidder, Nc
Intosh, Emmons and one or two other
counties in this part of the state. They
have made arrangements with a colon
ization company to bring settlers here
in their lands during a period of the
next few years. Their agents are al
ready in Europe starting on their work.
At the meeting Of the directors Of
the commercial club last evening the
secretary was instructed to advise the
above people that this club would be
glad to cooperate with them in any
way it could.
The successful carrying out of this
plan will mean the bringing of thou
sands of farmers into the Bismarck
trade territory and will mean the still
further. growth of Bismarck to say
nothing of the enhanced value of every
piece of farm land in this neighbour
hood. These companies are well or
ganized and there is no doubt that they
will meet with success in their opera
