and Their Solution.

a delicate. prehensle sort OF cultivator or
a strong militant chopping tool.
There Is a distinct puttering frame of
mind without which the occupation takes
on the tedium of a duty and loses most
OF its charm In my case this is most
easily assumed just after dinner. when IT
is too late to begin any real task, yet
light enough to work outdoors
one great thing about the art is that
1t is not only harmless but invariably
beneficial You simply cannot keep the
soil too mellow to suit crops; you simply
cannot pull out too many weeds-so long
as you know they're weeds.

The first sign of the potato bug, or.
more correctly, Colorado potato beetle,
appears, II you look for 1t. on the under
side of the leaves in the form of orange
yellow egg masses. looking like collec-

Then there appears TO be another truce,
while these grubs are turning into the

Without examining your plants and the
soil, can only suggest that their retarded
growth is due to the transplanting you
did last fall. In Bailey's Encyclopaedia OF
American Horticulture" il says: The
howefs produced on small divided plants
are likely to be imperfect, but when thor
oughly established plant will continue
to bloom if undisturbed for upward OF
twenty years" The muching could not
be the cause. since it is a common and
highly recommended practice in growing
this heavy feeding crop. The blasting Of
the buds seems to indicate the peony
blight which was discussed in detail on
the Garden Page OF The Tribune for
May 81.

Unless your fruit trees are very large

hand spray pump will be quite enough
So long as It is made by a reliable firm

among the various compressed air spray

The Auto-Spray. made by the T. c. Brown
Company. of Rochester. and handled by
most good dealers, is also excellent. For
a very limited amount of spraying and
for Swinging indoors simple vaporizer
or hand spray. costing about 81, will be
perfectly satisfactory. The most impor-
tant point is: Get something and get 1t

this early in the season it indicates

Can you tell me how flower beads
en- different colors?-Mrs. J. B. o.
According TO directions recently pub
lished in The Rural New Yorker rose
beads are made as follows: Gather petals
when free from moisture and run them
through a meat grinder at least six
times. Then hunt up an old, rusty kettle
1.-The rustier the better-rub OF all loose
scales OF rust and plaster the rose pulp
over the bottom and sides about half an
inch thick. Set away In a cool place
then put through the grinder i've or sA'
times and again plaster on the kettle
After another two days repeat the grind
ing, and II the mass is good solid black
II has had enough OF the rust treatment
III the pulp is i'm a firm. moist but NOT
wet condition put II through a smah
funnel; then cut the bar or ribbon OF
pulp into uniform pieces to give beads
OF equal size. Roll these between the
fingers, as children make mud marbles
then thrust pin straight through eacn
one and stick II upright in cushion until
the bead is dry and can be slipped on
A few drops Of sweet oil worked into the
pulp at the last grinding will give
glossy black finish. l regret that l 90

LONDON, Oct. 9 9The mile
ta1y fortunes of General Won
Kluck and his one-armed adyer-
sary. commanding the allied
cavalry, are being rapidly made
or marred within sight of the
North sea which sets limit to
the out-hanking movements the
accomplishments of which for so
long has been the supreme goal
of the rival generals.
The storm center gradually
has extended northward. The
battle of the Aisne already has
been merged into the battle OF
the Somme and the battle of the
Lys and if the long left tentacle
|of the allies continues to stretch
out in its present direction the
finale Of the titanic struggle may
be fought out on the banks OF
the Scheldt and may decide the
fate of the beleagured fortress
of Antwerp, now a prey to Ger
man. howitzers and aircraft.
Whether or not the garrison Of
Antwerp will be able to stand
its ground until the fate of the
attempt to relieve the fortress is
decided it is impossible to fore
tell as the situation is liable to
change virtually with each round
Of the German sixteen-inch siege
guns.
While some pictures of the
lbombardment of Antwerp may
have been eyerdfawn It is never
lthelss fully confirmed that the
ldanace done by the incendiary
