Bushes Should BE Allowed to Do With
X out Water Several Months.
Rosebushes that are not now pro:
duc1ng blossoms or did not have
blooms last season should be allowed
to rest by neglecting to water them for
three months. By the end of this
period they will, have become nearly
dormant, the small and useless wood
may have wilted somewhat, and some
leaves may have turned yellow and
dropped. Happy the garden owners
whose rosebushes have so rusted, for
he shall inherit a crop of blossoms in
the latter months Of the year that will
cause his heart to rejoice. Before wa
tering and starting them into active
growth cut out all small, weak growth.

When they have been well started
into active growth water often and
heavily and also fertilize heavily. Keep
the. soil well worked up. not deeply,
but frequently. That you will then
have fine roses in abundance you may
rest assured. A little close observa-
ton Of just what you do this year,
coupled with equal study of how the
bushes thrive and produce, will profit
you much in the handling of your
roses in years to come. 't

CONCERNING TREE PLANTING.
saplinss Should Be Set Out With q
View to the Future.

saplinss Should Be Set Out With a
View to the Future.
The close setting of trees Is largely
responsible for the deformed arboreal
growth we now have in many of our
cities. We occasionally see rows of
trees that have become hedges forty
and fifty feet high with numerous dead
branches Oh the inside. and whole dead
trees here and there, though nearly all
such examples are in rural districts.
Out in the open we see trees growing
So close together that no one Of them
has good form. Each is struggling
to get out into the light It is the
hardest thing in the world to induce
men to look forward for twenty five
years and take the growth of trees into
consideration.
Had our ancestors planned for the
future we should not now have mass
of deformed trees, many Of them fit
only to be grubbed out and cast into
the fire. When we are planting trees
there is no reason why the planting
should not be done in manner that
will give us satisfaction now and those
that come after us in future years.
Besides, even in our lifetime a sym
metrical tree with sunshine all around
it is perhaps as beautiful as the tree
whose branches mingle with those Of
adjoining trees. 81. 81.

TREE PLANTING IN NORWAY,
Mountains to Be Covered With Forest.
as In Oiden Times. -


as In Oiden Times. ~
The coast land of western Norway is
almost devoid Of forests except where
protection is afforded from the sea
winds. The bulk of the forests, con-
sisting Of pine. birch and spruce, are
found further in the interior at the
heads of the fiords and in the valleys.
The Bergen Tree Planting society was
founded in 1900 to rehabilitate the rap
idly dwindling forests and maintain
additions made from time to time with
the society's slender means. The So
ciety has undertaken a monstrous task.
one that will require many years and
large expenditures of money and labor,
as it proposes to cover the mountain
sides and the untillable areas of west
ern Norway with forests as they were
centuries ago.
Since the society started thirteen
years ago 36,GO6,00O young trees have
been produced. of which more than
26,OOOOOO were planted on 10000, acres
within the borders of the two Bergen
hus counties The annual report shows
that there are now LA tree planting So
cieties in these counties. which last
year planted 2,276,O0O trees. -,

HOUSE .C0L0Rs SHOULD

Softness Is Desirable.

All dwellings of the present day are

we need not add to their conspicuous.
ness by inharmonious colors in paints
and stains. Nature gives us soft col
'ors and tints, and these we should
strive to initiate in the exterior Of all
buildings.
During the long, cloudless days Of
summer nothing in local landscapes is
more offensive or harsher to the eyes
than glazing white: Softened or warm
ed into creamy white the glare dis
appears and a softness is manifested
in its stead. Pure yellow is equally
harsh and should be toned down to
buff or straw color. Greens are
warmed by the addition Of red, and So

Perhaps some captious critic will
say that sky blue is natural and, from
the writer's standpoint, a fitting color
for exterior decoration For obvious
reasons such a course in coloring: is
not advised or even: suggested, any

tate the blackness of a thundercloud

colors and shades will do for neckties

KIDNEYS
Bemidji Readers Should Learn to

Bemidji Readers Should Learn to
Keep the Kidneys Well.
The kidneys have a big work to do.
All the blood in the body is coursing
through the kidneys constantly to be
freed Of poisonous mater. It is a heavy
enough task when the kidneys are
well, but cold, chill, fever or some
thoughtless exposure is likely to irri-
tate, infame and longest the kidneys
and interrupt the purifying work.
Then the aching frequently begins
and is often accompanied by some ir-
regularity Of the urine--too frequent
passages. sediment or retention. Thou
sands testify to the wonderful merit
Of Doan's Kidney Pills, a remedy for
the kidneys only, that has been used
in kidney troubles so years. You
will make no mistake in following
this Bemidji citizens advice.
Henry Revor, sos Bemidji avenue,
Bemidji, Mimi, says: ri have taken
Doan's Kidney Pills. procured from
Barker's Drug Store, with splendid
results. I had lame back, together

EIiqht of Winged Seeds,

How far do the winged seeds range
from the parent tree? DR.. Ridley Of
the Singapore botanic gardens watched
those from large forest tree and
found them to travel more than 100
yards. Plumed seeds, like those Of the
dandehon, or finely powdered seeds
easily travel far greater distances than
winged seeds or samars. It would
seem that wings on seeds do far
greater service in causing the seeds to
alight In a position conducive to easy
entrance to the soil than by waiting
them, by the aid Of wind, to great dis
tances. According to DR.. Ridley, the
tree observed by him would spread
but 300 yards in 100 years.-Los An

! THE CITY BEAUTIFUL, /
WATER GARDENS PRETTY
AND NOT VERY COSTLY.
Harmonizing Influence Adds Greatly to
Beauty Of Grounds.

s 81. + . i Z e
In every land, under almost any and
all conditions, there is a peculiar charm
about water gardens that no other fea-
ture or garden accessory exerts. In a
land naturally devoid of water such
gardens have an additional value, for
nowhere else will vegetation grow so
splendidly fresh and vigorous, so near
" rivaling the luxuriance Of the trop-
les as beside water.
So, too, is there harmonizing and
mellowing influence about water that
provides a safe and easy ground upon
which the amateur may practice, his
works and display his taste without
being about to spoil the great funda-
mental dominating the scene-the very
water Itself for, whether it be mud
dy or milky or green or pure and clear,
It will still be water, with that natural
charm OF which no man may rob it.
Man may force his bad taste upon eV-
cry other square foot Of his garden,
but is powerless to overcome this great
natural fundamental which Of itself
may possess the only charm the gar
den knows IL "6~.~ {.
In seeking to analyze this unperish-
able charm it would seem that with
the presence of water are unconscious
ly suggested comfort and refreshment,
for man may, scarcely perish for lack
Of food and water when fresh water
abOunds, and therefore comfort is I'M
th1nkingly brought to one by this I'M
DERIVING, unconscious feeling of safety
when near this precious, life giving
fluid, emotions which no mere land
has the power to stir. 49,. -. .n
Water gardens are not, as too many
seem to fear, very costly feature Of
the home grounds. The total cost is
represented in the first cost-that of
installation. For example, the evapo-
ration or loss Of water for a hundred
square feet Of lake or pond is not so
great as from an equal area of lawn.
The material used for retention of wa
ter is practically 1ndestructible, and
ponds built more than a century ago
are still giving forth luxurtant BIOS
SONS without having had penny
spent upon them for repairs. Hardy
water lilies and other aquatic plants
in this favored cline usually so thrive
that one is forced to throw away sur
plus instead Of being called upon to
replenish; as is often the, case with
eastern water gardens. So let us have
more, larger and better lakes and
ponds.-Los Angeles Times. e

Tho Garden Mole.

Do not condemn the garden mole
without evidence that he IS harming
your garden. Except he burrows under
the lawn or young plants, the chances
are strongly in favor Of allowing him
to remain. Personally the writer ia
vors hisa early determination, being
fearful Of his doing immediate harm
The food OF the mole is not vegetable,
40 f. the case with the pocket gopher,
But consists Of eaartthwo worms and insects
that live in the soil, and he hastens
through the rich top soil hunting for
food. q Els eyes are largely rudifnen-
tary, inasnuch as he can barely distin-
guish light from darkness. Moles are
easily scared away and shun, % far %
they know, the haunts Of man.

SHOULD BURN. ALL WEEDS.
Trouble Next Season Would Then Be-
Greatly Lessened.

If all the weeds upon that vacant
lot next to garden have not been de-
stroyed they should be burned forth
with. Burned at this time, the greater
portion of the seeds will have been
burned, and you will not then be so
badly troubled with weeds next year.
Mature weeds should be burned
where they grow, If possible, and not
be staked up in heaps, for any move
of dry weeds shakes out the seeds and
leaves them oh the soil, to be started
into life and more weeds with the first
rain Of the season. Burn the crop as
It stands, If possible. p
