Tulips increase by bulblets which
issue from the side OF the larger bulbs.
Under certain conditions, too. the
larger bulbs split up into smaller
ones. In well-drained, sunny bed
the bulbs will live and increase from
year to year, but should be lifted

the clumps become too much crowded
to thrive and bloom.
In potting lilies, set the bulbs two
inches or more beneath the soil. The

for winter blooming, but will bloom

The Amazon lily (Eucharis) may be
similarly cared for. but requires more

WAY TO RAISE The DAHLlAs
Plants Grow Stronger From Cuttings
and Roots-Mode Of Planting Of
Much Importance. &

discard it. saw some beautiful
flowers on some aplants in July and
August, very double, fine striped. BY
the middle of October the flowers were
half the size; what were striped be-
fore, at that time were of one color,
and nearly single.
III We had Keynes White for several
years; it grew. four feet tall; last
year 1t grew eight and ten feet. A
plant like that is no more good.
Dahlias can be grown from seeds;
they grow stronger than from cuttings
and roots, only it is hard to find good
seeds, now we are in the cheap.seed
business, but the man who has good
article does not sell 25-cent packets for
10 cents II
II you want dahlia roots for next
year, plant them in small pots and
let them remain all summer. Keep
them over winter like the old roots;
and start them again in the spring.
I do not say this is absolute. but it
is the best way to raise dahlias SO
far IS.
The specialist does it, and it is my
experience since 1867. 1t is claimed
by dahlia growers that dividing the
roots will degenerate almost all the
varieties; that is the reason we have
such q few good flowers.
OF course a good many will believe
that a cutting will not flower and
make roots to keep over winter, but It
is not true: they were raised that
way many years ago, and that Is the
way they are raised today, in Eng
land, France, Germany and other coun-
tries except the United States.
It is the reason, too, that the Ameri.
cans do not care much for dahlias;
they have been deceived too much.
They buy old roots and get an old
degenerate plant, sometimes six feet
tall and more, and not a blossom In
sight.
In October, when the nights are
obol, the degenerate shows buds, and
Ii the frost does not catch them, they
will flower maybe two weeks. and
the flower be deficient In color and
size. They blame the weather. etc, 1t
is not the weather altogether, but the
mode OF planting.

What one sparrow Did.

What is perhaps the most remark
able accident that ever occurred was
reported last month from Germany.
according to !, Leslies Magazine. "a
large touring car was travelling at fair
speed along a boulevard. lined with
trees. Large focks Of sparrows were
in the trees, and several boys were
taking chances Of being arrested by
the police by shooting at the birds
with sling shots. One pebble particu-
!larly well aimed struck a sparrow on
the upper wing and sent him gliding
through the air directly toward tho
driver Of the car. The bird struck him
full in the face, and in the next In
slant things began to happen. The
driver clutched at his eyes, the car
lurched into the, ditch, knocked down
a telegraph pole, vaulted to plowed
field on the other side Of the ditch
and went full force into huge hay.
stack. Despite this wild swerve no
one was even scratched except the
driver. whose eyesight was damaged
by the claws OF the sparrow. Tho
whole incident had taken far less time
than needed to relate It.

serious pests in foreign lands which
have not become established in our
country, but doubtless will be sooner
or later If systems of rigid inspection
OF imported plant material are not
soon inaugurated.
The awakening of the entomologists
and the public in general to the dan
ger OF introducing serious insect pests
and fungus diseases, was caused more
largely by the Introduction Of hte San
Jose scale than any other one factor.
No other insect has caused so much
state and national legislation as the
San Jose scale "a harmless insect In
its native country In central China) /,
which infests wide range Of fruit
trees as well as many ornamentals.
The damage caused by this tiny in
sect was early recognized by ento-
mologists and means were sought to
prevent its spread. But before ade-
quate means Of control were ds6cov-
cred. it had gained a foot-hold in many
sections of some Of our eastern states,
and in spite Of all precautions has
gradually spread. 81.
What is true Of fruit trees is also
true Of shade trees. Take, for instance,
the injury. to our beautiful birch trees

of birch trees in ornamental paintings
has occurred In the past four or hve
years throughout some sections, that

Where there are many children in

cradle dyeing. Many faded muslin
can be made to appear in fresh

dyed darker shade and serve for
school or afternoon wear Remember
to dye at the same time any extra
pieces OF material to serve for alter

sible to match dyed material. White

Hogs for Breeding.

For breeding purposes avoid hogs
with long legs and shouts. shallow
bodies, narrow heads, contracted heart
girths and long pastern combined
with small bone. Also avoid hogs
that are too plump and chubby in APP
pearance. The breeding animal should
have plenty Of size and massive ap.
pearance. A very fat hog is bad
risk. for there Is danger OF his breed
ing faculties being impaired.
