WHAT-To PLANT AND WHEN
Advice by an Expert on Agricultural
Matters-AnnuaI and Perennial
FIowers-Prof1t In Bees-Rals-
Ing Cueumbers.
BY PROF. JOHN WILLARD RoLTE


Annual flowers. that is. flowers
which are grown from seed and live
only one season, are very useful for
decorating the home grounds. filling
windo1; boxes, etc. They are no less
hardy than perennials. and they are
cheaper to plant and fully as satisfao-
tory in most ways.
A moderate use Of perennials serves
as a fine foundation for flower gar
den. and by using ANIMALS for the bal
ance. we can have an unbroken series
OF blossoms throughout the season,
and can also vary the arrangement
from year to year.
Choose your color combinations
with care 80 as to avoid having inhar-
monious colors blooming at the same
time. Do not use mixed seeds unless
you know what the colors are. Select
and plant beds or borders Of the same
variety and color for best effect, con-
trasting them with other solid masses
rather than mixtures.
Exceedingly charming effects can be
secured by mass paintings Of coreop-
sis. peoples and many others Of the
simpler annual blossoms. Flowers
which bear large clusters or sprays OF
bloom are effective in shady places
and against walls.
The lower growing varieties can be
used for bordering beds of perennials,
outlining vegetable gardens. walks
drives. etc. Wild flowers should be
planted in irregular groups in loca
tions as nearly like their natural ones
as possible. Do not attempt to plant
them in regular beds and geometrical
forms If you would secure best results
ANIMALS may be planted as soon as
the ground is ready. and many varie
ties may 60 in successfully quite. late
in the spring.
For mass planting, the following are
recommended: Scabiosa, Balsam. Cal
liposis. Coreopsis. Globe Amaranth
Poppies. Zinnias, Marigold. Snapdrag
on. Amaranthus.
Border Plants - Sweet Alyssum
Mignonette. Pansies, Candytuft, Dwarf
Nasturtium. Dwarf Snapdragon.
Low Beds-Clarkia, Phlox-Drum
mondi. Verbenas. Petunias.
For late blooming background
masses we can recommends: CASTOF
OIL BEANS. COSMOS. SALIVA, AMI
SUNFLOWER. For Annual Vines
CLIMBING NASTURTIUM, LOBELIA
SCARLET RUNNER. WILD CUCUM
BER, MORNING GLORY, CYPRESS

The Busy Bee.

There is no domestic animal or
fowl that pays US as big dividends as
the honey bee. She works for moth
ing. boards herself supports her
queen and the royal male harem, fer
tilizes the blossoms for miles around.
and frequently furnishes US with
enough honey in one year to buy the
entire hive. bees and all, twice over.
Hives Of bees are frequently kept In
large cities, as well as In the country.
We have seen a number Of hives on
roofs Of buildings. etc, where the own
ers had no other space available, and
the bees will do just as we'll there as
on the ground provided the hives are
shaded from the hot sun.
Your success in keeping bees de-
pends upon one main factor, and that
is the food supply. They gather their
food In the form Of nectar and pollen
from all sorts of blossoms. The nee
tar Is eaten by the bee. undergoes GER
tain changes. and Is stored in the
comb as finished honey. The pollen
is treated in a somewhat similar man.
ner. and Is worked over into bee bread
with which the young are fed. A fairly
constant succession Of Towering plants
must be available for your bees, and
there must be enough of these flowers
so that the bees can gather more
honey than they need. Remember that
you don't get any honey until the
bees have all they need. You get the
surplus only.
Before you buy hive Of bees look
over the territory within a radius of
a mile and size up the feeding possi.
bilities. II there are considerab BILE
amounts of clover you are safe. Sweet
clover, fruit trees and bushes, bass
wood and mustard, buckwheat and flax
are, heavy honey bearers. OF course.
ornamental flowers do their share, but
they are of much less Importance.
II you find plenty OF feed without
too much competition from other bee
keepers, your next step is to secure a
good standard beehive with a strong
colony of Italian bees and a>tested Ital-

Cucumhers.

VuCuIIIUETS.
One Of the most satisfactory vege-
tables for the small garden is the Gu.
cumber. 1t is easy to grow. bears pro-
fusely. and almost everyone likes 1t.
Eight or ten plants properly tended
will furnish all of the fruit that the
average family can consume and there
will be lots of surplus cucumbers to
pickle. as we'll.
They are planted by seed as soon
settled and the first edible cucumbers
may be counted on about ninety days
after planting
The first important consideration is
the soil Cucumbers, like all of the
cucurbitaceae. love light mellow soil
and sunny location. They belong
to a semi-tropical desert class of
plants and sunshine Is much more
important than water, although both
are necessary. The soil Immediately
adjacent to the seed hill should be
very rich with well-rotted compost or
manure. An excellent plan is to dig
out the soil to a depth of eighteen
inches and fill in with compost and
richer soil. A fine mixture is one part
wood ashes, two parts sand. one part
manure and two parts rotted sod or
black loan.
Where space is unimportant, plant
the seeds in hills six or eight feet
apart, twelve seeds to the hill. Plant
an inch deep and firmly cover the
seeds. II desired, box frame may be
placed about each hill and a pane Of
glass fitted over 1t. This will force
the growth and enables one to plant q
month earlier than is otherwise pos
sible. 1t will also protect the plants
from the striped beetle, but care must
be taken that the glass Is raised when
the sun is hot, or trouble will result.
Where used with late paintings and
for protection from bugs only. 1t is
better to replace the glass with cotton
cloth.
Remove the boxes as soon as the
plants send out runners and thin out
to the four sturdiest plants in each
hill. The striped beetle is the only
serious pest and must be guarded
against. 1t attacks the young plants
at the ground line just before they
run. II boxing Is not resorted to. 1t
is a good plan to keep the plants and
the surrounding ground sprinkled
with powdered white hellebore. An.
other old-fashioned remedy is thin
plaster of cow manure over both
plants and SOIL Do not thin out any
plants until danger from bugs is past.
The usual plan is to let the vines
grow over the ground at their own
sweet will. The better way. espe-
cially for the small city garden. is to
train them up on a trellis or wood
and wire framework. This saves
ground and improves the fruit as the
sun gets a better chance and the
vines are not crushed in gathering
the cucumbers. Cut off yellow leaves
with sharp shears and always cut the
fruit off instead Of pulling or twist
ing It.
Frequent applications Of liquid ma
nure to the roots will work wonders
and this practice cannot be too highly
recommended for all the later garden
plants White Spine and Long Green
are excellent American varieties.

Oats for Hog Feed.

Oats as a hog feed has never been
very popular for two reasons. First,
the price is usually too high; and,
second, the feeding value Is not so
great per pound for hogs as that
of corn. When the price declines SO
that the cost per pound is less than
corn the attention Of hog raisers is
Immediately attracted to It's feeding

Carey, SLOW up physically But be-

happens it is drudgery, and no man

But after thirteen years, baseball
Is still Mathewson's favorite sport.
He either likes It immensely or he
is the. greatest actor / ever saw. He
never has to drag himself out to the
lot and force himself to play. The
game appeals to him and he finds a
lot of new things to study and work
over all the time. He doesn't take
It for granted that he has learned all
there is to learn and go piking ON me-
chemically. He refuses to get into a
mental rut."
Carey's dope is undoubtedly to the
point Mathewson is hard student
and a close Observer, whatever his
undertaking. The physical side OF
baseball might tire one In few
years, but there are million kinks
to the game and new developments
at every turn.
To Mathewson 1t is an eternal sci
ence II is his specially, and he finds
enough of interest. to keep him study
ing and working without break.
Naturally, this holds his interest. In
each game he LOOKS forward to some
unexpected turn, or TO trying out !. a
batting weakness which he believes
that he has discovered.
Another point in MatheWson's favor
is the fact that he has never had a
sore arm to work with. There are
any number of pitchers who attempt
to keep in shape, but who by nature
are what is known as "sore-arm"
workers. and who are therefore sadly
handicapped There's no great APP
peal in pitching a ball game where
every thrown ball is like the injection
of knife blade into ones shoulder
or elbow.
But in his entire career Matty has
never drawn sore arm. His arm
has been tired and worn down from
oVerwork, left without any snap in
elbow or wrist. but short rest has
put him back in form. Much Of
which is due to the fact that he works
easily, with little strain. and that he
wastes no great amount Of effort.
Conservation Of his natural pitching
arm is the slogan of his administra-
ton. and there is no telling how
many years he may continue to move
along with the elect.

FIRST RACE TRACK
TOUT WAS HANGED
FOR DOUBLE CROSS

The agreement entered into by a
number of English sporting publica-
tons to cease printing the advertise

Interesting memories of the origin
and development of this phase OF the
turf Although racing was well es-
tablished in England late in the eigh-
teenth century, 1t was not until some
years later that the upster made his
appearance So far as turf. history
can be relied upon, Daniel Dawson
was the originator of tipping He came
into prominence in and about the
course at Newmarket during 1907.
His fame spread rapidly, and his tips
were in great demand by those who
desired to wager ON the results of the
various races. He profited exceed
ingly at his novel vocation till he
fell in with several educated and
cleyer rogues. His new companions
hit upon the plan of using Dawson's
tame as means Of executing sensa-
tional betting coups. He was infiu-
big stakes q week or more in advance
of the races, thus causing heavy play
on the favorite, while other entries
were neglected. Then Dawson was
furnished with poison by which he
eliminated the public choice, leaving
the field clear for a cleanup by his
hackers. The scheme was exposed
when Lord Foley lost three Of his
best racers at Newmarket in 1871.
Dawson and a confederate named
Bishop were arrested, and the latter
turned kings evidence. Dawson was
convicted Of this and similar charges
under an act which made it capital
oifense to maliciously destroy horses
and cattle. Dawson was hanged at
the top of Cambridge castle, in the
autumn OF 1912, before more than TO-
900 spectators. many Of whom had
purchased his tips when he was a
"touter" at Newmarket.

Every baseball season produces a
new, crop of sensational pitchers who
figure conspicuously in newspaper
headlines from one year to a half doz-
en-, but the fame Of Christy Mathew
to go on forever. The "Old Master"
is the perennial wonder of the game.
Jack" Miller of the Pittsburg Pirates
said the other day that "Matty" is
undoubtedly better this season than
he has been since 1908. HE not only
has better control" says Miller, "but
he has more stuff-befter speed and
better curve ball" With his record
of thirteen years of marvellous pitch
ing, aMatty" is puzzling to great
many fans and players; they cannot
understand why he lasts so long. One
explanation of his longevity is flrn-
ished by Max Carey, another Pitts
burg player, in an interview printed
in the Chicago Post:
"Mathewson has the ability and all
that" said Carey, 4but believe the
main factor that has held him up so
long has been his love of the game.
Thirteen years is a long time to be
under fire. I'm no veteran myself
only a youngster at the game; but
there are times when I'm tired out
and would give farm to break away
for long rest.
But I've watched Mathewson
closely and I've never seen him pitch

as if he were having lot of fun. He
always looks as If he had rather be
