Well known cholera LESSONS are the
intestinal alterations, although they
are but rarely found in the ordinary
acute form of the disease. This ulcer

greatly in extent and depth.
Those alterations may be met with
throughout the entire intestinal canal,
although they are most commonly
found in connection with the large
bowels.
In the more chronic forms of cholera
there often is evidence that the ulcera-
lions are being repaired. The croupous
covering Of the ulcers then becomes
drier, shrinks up and assumes a dark
brown or black color, while at the
same time it is being pushed up from
the surface until a button-like struc-

not interfere with the healing process
this button drops off after a time,
leaving a light colored scar.

scotch Dat Cakes,

Oatmeal when baked to a crisp gives
the taste Of nuts to aecake, and these
oat cakes are a delicious bite, and yet
not too rich. An old Scotch recipe
for oat cakes is this:
Put two and one-half handfuls Of
fine oatmeal in a bowl, with a. tea
spoonful of sugar and a little salt.
Pour = over this one-quarter pint of
boiling water, in which ! ounce of
butter or dripping has been melted.
Mix well with a spoon, then turn out
on a board and knead with the hands
into around shape. Take the rolling
pin and roll out very thin, taking care
to dust the pin we'll with meal to keep
it from sticking. Pinch it around the
edges with fingers and thumb and cut
it in four pieces. Have the griddle
nice and hot, then bring it to the edge
of the board and slip the cakes on 1t.
Fire on one side until the edges begin
to curl Up; then toast the other side
in front Of the fire. An hour or two
! n a moderately hot owe makes them
dry and crisp.

to me during the last few days asking
for a means of controlling the green
worm which is feeding on the leaves
of cHrrants and gooseberries.
This is the larva of one Of the saw
flies and is one of the worst insects
of the currant and gooseberry. Very
early in the spring the flies appear
and the, female deposits her eggs on
the underside of the leaves on the
veins in rows In about ten days the
larva matches. At first it is about
one-twelfth OF an inch long of
whitish color with large head.
When young the little pests feed in
companies OF twenty to forty on a
leaf but as they increase in size they
spread out in all directions, first
changing to a green color and later,
green with black dots, or markings,
on the body.
When about two thirds grown they
do their greatest damage and will
sometimes strip bush of its leaves
in two or three days. At that stage
they are from one-haIf to three~fourths
of an inch in length.
These insects pass the winter by
forming the pupa stage, Matching as
flies the following spring. Sometimes
two generations are produced in one
year.
Growers of currants and goose
berries are urged to carefully examine
their plants and as soon as the worms
appear to destroy them. When newly
Matched they can be easily destroyed
by picking the leaves and dropping
them into a CAN of kerosene but as
they become larger and spread out
over the plant, it is best to spray
them with arsenate of lead or some
other poison spray which is not
injurious to the foliage. Two pounds
of arsenate of lead (paste) or one
pound (powdered) mixed with every

BEAUTIFYING THE HOME GROUNDS

To the home lover who is also a
lover of plants and of flowers, there
is nothing that gives more real pleas
ure and with so little expense as the
work of identifying the home grounds.
The first essential in the adornment
of the grounds around the home is a
planting plan. Things to be con-
sidered in such a plan are: Size OF
the grounds, the lay of the land, the
soil, the amount of money that can
be expended for the purpose and the
style of gardening.
The styles of gardening most COM
monty used are the natural and the
architectural or formal style.
NATURAL STYLE.
AS its name suggests, the natural
style of gardening aims to follow
nature as nearly as possible in general
effect. Trees are placed in goups
rather than in straight rows and
should in a general way be confined
to boundries. The groups should be
irregular in size and shape and the
trees should be of different sizes.
Nature does not plant all of her trees
at the same time, nor does she give
all of them equal amounts OF sun
shine and rain, so her groups may
contain all grades and sizes, from the
towering giant of the forest down to
the tender sapling. Trees should not
rise abruptly from the lawn, but there
should be a gradual decline from the
upright background to the fiat sur
face. and this can only be accomplish
ed by the liberal use of shrubs. 1t

growth, and their leafing and flower
ing season. Visit the parks, orna-
mental gardens, and nurseries and
find out from the gardeners of these
places which plants do best in your
locality. When you have secured this
information, draw up your own plans,
do your own planting, and give the
plants your individual attention.
Give each plant pet name il you
wish, give it a drink when it is
thirsty, and food when it is hungry.
1t will give returns in proportion to
the treatment 1t receives.
Whether the plant is for a great
park or simple little dooryard, we
must use the same artistic spirit with
our work il we want the best results.
Someone has said 1.-TWO trees and six
shrubs, scrap of lawn. and a dozen
towering plants, may form either a
beautiful picture or a huddled dis
array of forms and cOlOrS.

BOY SCOUTS FIGHT CATERPILLAR
PESTS.

In recent issue of one of the daily
papers of Tacoma appeared the fol-
lowing item which should be of
interest to the readers OF these col
umns:
"Repaying in measure the hnan-
cial support given them by the
Metropolitan Park board. three
troops of boy scouts under Scout
Commissioner +. J. Soule made the
first inroad on the dens of the tent
caterpillars yesterday afternoon at
Puget park, North Bath and Proctor
streets.
The boys took their knives and
pruning shears and made for the
enemy of vegetation with vim that
BODIED ill for the fuzzy creatures.
The tents with their thousands OF
embryonic and full-grown caterpillars,
we're shipped off branches and placed
in large bags. The bags were then
gathered in one spot, and when Scout
Commissioners Soule gave the word
the torch was applied and the victors
watched the destruction OF the
enemy"
DRIVE WORMS FROM STREETS.
"Not content with their crusade
Yesterday, the scouts plan other in
roads into the lair of the caterpillar.
The residence districts will be cover
ed as much as possible and every
where the troops go the tents OF the
fuzzy destroyers of plant life will be
ruthlessly chopped down. Every
afternoon this week the scouts will
advance their lines against the
worms.
Many of our fruit growers can re-
ceive a good lesson from these boys.
United efforts by the growers could
rid every county in Western Washing

other orchard and berry pest.

"THIS IS A
REAL NURSERY"

A year or so since we quoted the
above remark make by practical
orchardist and horticulturist, who
dropped in to see our plant after ne
had visited most of the nurseries in
Washington.
What this gentleman saw on that
particular day was what goes on
here at shipping time for about four
weeks in the fall and six weeks in
the spring, besides which he, OF
course, saw the fields of full-grown
stock ready for digging while the
spring visitor would see the plant
ing being done.
In other words, he saw a big
packing house, we'll systematized,
everything in it's place and fine,
clean, well-rooted stock being pack
ed out in good order for customers
in every section of the Northwest.
He saw about 140 varieties of APP
pies, about 40 pear, so peach, 20
apricot, 35 plum, 80 prune, 40 cher
nv, ETC., right down through all the
staple fruits, shade and ornamental
stock, totalling 1920 varieties, each
in its own place.
And that's why this is real nur-
sery. We grow full assortment OF
all the best that belongs in a COM
plete plant. It's delivered to our
customers in good order, and it's
backed up by a dependable con-
Germ, whose highest desire is to sell
good trees TO critical public.
That concern is us.

much and they are often used too
little. They can be used not only to
bank in front of the trees, but can
be used around the buildings to
remedy the sharp lines of demarcation
between them and the lawn. Climb
ers are also good for this purpose.
Shrubs and climbers, when used to-
gether, if we'll placed will always
bring the buildings and lawns in
closest harmony. Lawns should be
as large and as open as circumstances
will allow, and as much of the center
and interior Of the landscape piece
as possible should be Ia lawn.
In general, with this style of
gardening, the lines of the walks and
drives should be in curves. However,
this should not be carried to the
extreme, for it would be an unwise
gardener who would compel the
pedestrians to walk twice a distance
for the sake of walking in curves.
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE.
The architectural or formal style
of gardening is opposed at all points
to the natural style. Geometric lines,
which are so much to be avoided in
the natural style, are sought for in a
formal plan.
Trees are set in rows; flower beds,
| II nd xuhi nh N a n
plan would be in flowing curves, are
set in straight lines or geometric
curves; shrubs and bedding plants
are pruned to present some fancy
design. Statues and fountains have
their place along with the paintings
and the lawns are kept closely
clipped.
WHICH STYLE OF. GARDENING
TO USE.
The beginner is often at loss to
know what style of gardening is best
to use tor his particular place. In
general. the style to use should blend
with the surroundings.
A city lot so by 40 feet, with paved
streets and straight cement walks
directly in front OF the house will
look better if planted more to the
formal style than to the natural. The
surroundings are purely artificial and
natural gardening would be out of
place. Trees and shrubs may be set
in 70 vs. or used as individual spec
linens. They should always be we'll
pruned and the lawns should be close
ly clipped. Irregular groupings of
plants should not be used, but quite
complex designs and holdings will
look WE'LL
The suburban home will generally
look best ii planted to conform to the
natural style of gardening. Native
trees and shrubs can often be used
with good effect Simple rather than
complex combinations should be used
in planting the flower beds, for they
are more easily tended and more in
keeping with rural surroundings
Topiary work here is entirely out of
place. When a tree is planted it
should look like tree and not like
cone, vase, or some grotesque figure.
The lawn need not be closely clipped,
although it should be kept clear of
weeds.
