they may be forced to bloom during
the winter. ,yGeraniums are attractive
in the ordinary window-box because of
their foliage alone. They should no.
be placed in window-box with the
expectation that they will bear flowers.
Ferns Ferns as they come from
the florists prepared for indoor culture
should be placed in a strong light,
though they grow well without SUM-
light. They should be watered spar
ingly but should be kept moist at all
times. Improper watering, especially
keeping the plant soaked or permit
ting it to get dry, is the foundation of
most fern difficulties. 1t is especially
difficult not to overwater when the
fern is in jardiniere, where drainage
is necessarily poor. In spring and
summer they will require three times
the water necessary in fall and winter.
1t is well occasionally to put them
in the bath tub and give them bath
with weak soap suds made from good
grade of soap. The soap must be
thoroughly rinsed off Immediately
Great care must be exercised not to
injure the fronds as they are very
tender. Mealy bug is one of the worst
enemies in house culture. This is a
white woody insect that works close to
the bottom Of the fronds. If found the
plant should be examined every day
and all insects remove by a splint or
tooth pick. If the pest is very bad,
cut off all the top of the fern within
an inch of the ground, treat thorough
ly each day till all insects are EXTERN
mated when a new top can be grown.
Red spider is minute sucking in
sect that thrives in a dry atmosphere.
1t can be kept in check by spraying
the top with clear water. In living
rooms this is frequently impracticable.
The next best thing is repeated baths.
The aphis or green fly is also eradi-
Gated by washing.
Ferns should be fed once in two to
four weeks in the place of ordinary
watering with dilute nitrate of soda,

water) ammonia water Ga teaspoonful
of ammonia to quartz of manure

little sprinkling of ground bone and

occasionally to see whether OF not the

by holding the hands over the top OF
the pot, inverting plant and all, tap

not be done unless the soil is moder-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 81
Many lovers of flowers who have not
the time to bother with an indoor win
dow-box, enjoy keeping a number Of
potted plants in the living room dur
ing the winter. Some, in fact, have
turned bay window into small con-
servatory or winter garden merely by
an attractive arrangement of plants in
seperate pots. When a window-box is
filed, the plants must be of the same
general character to be successful, but
if ones winter garden is made up of
plants in separate pots a greater var
iety may be kept, as each plant may
receive different treatment in the mat
ter of light, watering, SOIL ETC., and
palms, rubber plants, and cacti, which
call Off special handling may be addcd
Begonias, ivy, smilax, and aspidistra,
all good plants for indoor culture, de-
mand more or less the same treatment
as was explained in a previous article
sent cut by the U. S. Department of
griculture, describing the indoor win
dow-bOX.
Til. So who do not have gardens
would do better to get potting soil of
the nearest florist for their potted
plants. Good potting soil may be pre-
pared at home but it usually takes
considerable care and forethought.
Those 1.iIling to take the trouble may
prepare it by using one part compost,
one part good loan and one part sand.
The compost should be COW manure

wear and turned two or three times in
the interim Well decomposed leaf

Little Friendly Reasoning
Goes Long Way With Both Sexes.
Sometimes the wife is unreasonable

cook or keep her home tidy. In such a
case tell her that she is loafing on
her job and that if she worked for any
body, except the man who loved her
she would get fired.
You'd be astonished to see how far
little friendly reasoning will go with
both men and women! And then. of
course, have great ally-their love

Soil Needs Protection.

The surest way of increasing crop yield is by increasing the amount of vegetable matter in the soil. In the absence of livestock to produce manure the best and cheapest way of enriching the soil is to grow crops and blow them into the soil. Such crops can be grown when corn and cotton are not occupying the land and such crops will, there- fore, splendidly protect the soil from washing during the winter months. But that is not all. A winter grown crop takes up plant food ond prevents it from teaching Ii h ayy rains. Here is wonder ful advantage that our climate makes possible for us. namely, to SOW crop in the fall that will keep our soil from washing away. keep the plant food from being lost and make large growth to blow down to enrich our iand for large crop yields. On soils so treated is where we get best returns from fertilizers from the use of better seed and from better tillage.
 A number of crops will do this for us and this is the season for sowing them. Rye is excellent for all parts of the United States Oats and wheat may be used in the same way, but they usually make smaller growth. Hairy vetch sown with the grain crops adds to the benefits. Crimson clover, burr clover or vetch do we'll for the pur- pose on level land Rye is the best general cover crop. It will grow everywhere and protects the soil well. Sow four to six peck alone or four pecks with two peeks of vetch. Martin Nelson, Director Arkansas Experimental s sation.

Hiiat Earners ShouI,l Raise.

There is no get-rich-quick crop, The farmer should grasp this idea and hold to it. Any one crop sys item is a speculation. and few mer thrive permanently by SD peculation It is the conservative business mar that avoids speculation who suc- ceeds in the eni. The same is true in farming. The farmer who raises corn and hay fer his st ok. keeps COWS for milk and butter, a good garden. raises his own meat and work stock, raises peanuts, po- tatoes, a few watermelons and truck crops, makes his own mo- lasses and helps his wife and Ghil- dren with the chickens. ducks, greese and turkeys, keeps a few stands of bees and a small orchard. plants peas and pumpkins in the corn and raises turnips. fall cab bages and beans before he turns his labors to a money crop, will live and be able to buy school books, school shoes. clothing and Christi mas toys, and pay his taxes, no matter what his money crop may be. If the price of cotton will jus tifv it, cotton is a good money crop, but by all means 1t should be made a secondary matter
 My theory is that cattle and hogs will make the best money crop. A good fat steer will bring from $40 to $6O. Hogs will grow into dollars now quicker than any agricultural product, if you will vaecinate them against chloera. The hogs and cattle are not perish able like some of the farm products You can market them any time of the year. If the price is low when they are ready to market, you can keep them for better price. You can't do that with all farm prod ucts.
 Stock on the farm furnish ma nure and save fertilizer bills. Plen- ty of stock and COW peas on the farm, with corn grain, hay and for age to fatten it, and the manure saved and used. will keep up the soil on the farm. and perhaps les sen your labor. If you abandon O. neglect these you will have to worf harder ard cultivate more lanG year by year, or do on less.

lick Eradication In Arkansas.

Texas fever, disease which is now causing thousands of dollars of loss each year to the cattle rais- CTS of Arkansas, will completely disappear from the state when the Texas Fever Tick is eradicated. About one-fourth of the entire state mas already been freed from the tick. With the modern meth ods of tick eradication, entire coun- ties can be freed at little cost in from one to two seasons of sys- tematic work. It is only a ques
 ton of few years when the whole state should be entirely free from the costly disease, Texas Fever.
 Even though not every county in the state is ready for tick eradica- ton, it is entirely practical for a group of four or more counties to eradicate the ticks within their boundaries, and derive the full benefits. No section of the state should wait for any other section, but progressive men should take the lead, and by freeing their coun- ties from the ticks should make live stock raising sufficiently prof its.ble to force the neighboring counties into the eradication move ment. In this way the work will spread rapidly until the entire state is tick free. When this is accomp- lished, stoek-raising may assume
