A SPLENDID TIME FOR SODDING
WHICH is FUN

But il may be well to mention that this
is a splendid time to fill in any bare
spots in the lawns etc, by sodding This
Is really good fun, and with little care
a good job can easily be done. In the
first place, select the source of the sods
where the ground is level and the turf
thick and free from punches. Use an
edge trimmer-one of those sharp edged,
half-moon shaped affairs-to cut as much
as you think YOU will need, letting the
strips be about a foot wide, two feet
long and uniform in size and shape This
saves fitting and trimming later. A
spade can be used to loosen the sods at
once or they may be left until place is
prepared for them.
To do this trim the edges of the area
to clean, straight lines and remove the
soil to a depth slightly less than the
thickness of the sod you have cut. Then
loosen and smooth this bed with a rake
and you are ready TO lay the Sod much
as you would lay piece of linoleum on
kitchen floor. Let the edges butt closely
together even though they tend TO hump
a bit When the sod Is all in place beat
IL down with the back of the spade or
lamp it firmly with the implement made
especially for that purpose. If the
weather is cloudy and rainy, so much the
better; otherwise water the area thor
oughly and after a little roll 1t down with
fairly heavy roller.

TEMPERANCE IN PANAMA
A Great Field for Soft Drinks,
Vice Consul General Says.

Panama is a great field FOR non-alco.
holic drinks. as IL has been found That
the use OF Intoxicating beverages works
havoc on the health Of the average man
in that climate. Vice-Consul General Dan
Tel j. Waters writes from Panama city.
Several drinks we'll known in the United
States have been introduced and have
met with instant success.
One of these is manufactured by an
American firm in the Canal Zone from
extract imported from the United states
headquarters. The bottles arc small and
contain about the usual soda fountain
drink, and sell at the saloons, with
cracked ice, for fifteen cents Another
company has introduced grape Juice
which Is sold a. the clubs and bars ~
Panama for fifteen cents bottle, eacn
bottle containing one glass.
Three important Panama concerns
manufacture about 100000 pints OF
soft drinks annually. These drinks in-
clude soda Of all favors. kol IA. Zola
champagne. cider and ginger ale. The
wholesale price is 50 cents a dozen bot
ties for the first grade which retalls AZ
10 cents a bottle, and IS and 30 cents
a dozen for the second grade when
retails at five cents.
Though most Of the machinery EN-
ployed by these plants IS from the
United States. one firm still uses ma
chinery imported from England some
time ago. and another employs carbon
ating machinery of German manurac-
ture The greater part Of the favOrin2
extracts is imported from England, the
manufacturers claiming that they are
better than the American. and when
purchased IN solid form go further man

IMPOSSIBLE ORNAMENTS THAT

lie continues by suggesting either wood,
brick or stone as a possible material, and
advising that the design be taken from
some OF the older and simpler examples.
In the latter j heartily agree. but ] can
conceive of no more inappropriate object
than "A wooden sundial, unless IL be some
of the green bent iron srills or bronze
stays. dogs and other ornaments 60 that
are even to-day seen in gardens that de-
serve better treatment.
The development Of sunparors and
semi-outdoor living rooms has in way
lessened the need for really practical
chairs and tables for the garden. but
there remain as useful and desirable as
ever ornamental flower pots or tubs, for
such specimens as bay trees hydrangeas
and the like; and also fountains, which
have, indeed. a real charm. The music OF
running water is always attractive. and
one who has watched the happy antics OF
birds at their daily bath has enjoyed far
more than the pleasure of these sounds.
For the smallest garden l would bespeak
some sort OF wall fountain, or something
in the nature OF a rough stone basin that
could be set into messy bank or rock
cry, where the spray from IA partly hid
den jet could fall among the graceful
fronds of ferns or nodding panicles of the
hardy, easy-to-grow lilies of the-valley.

FURNITURE IN THE
SMALL GARDEN

I have received a request for some in
formation regarding garden furniture and
in what manner and what forms IL Is APP
plicabe to the small gardens. OF course.
the first thing TO say is the we'll worn
obser-Ation, Show me your garden and
] will be able to speak more intelligently
and more helpfully." Nevertheless, few
thoughts along this line may help others
as we'll as this particular correspondent.
The keynote OF success in the use or all
garden accessories, from summer houses
to ornamental flower pots, is the taste
that is exhibited in their use. As gen.
eral thing, the formal type of garden Of
fers the best opportunities in this direc-
ton, but every item must be in accord
with the motif OF the grounds or the en-
tire effect is spoiled. An antique marble
or rough stone seat may supply just the
desired touch if placed at the end of
straight. evergreen bordered walk or
nestled in among a group OF conical
cedars on the other hand. rustic set
tee OF bent wood or white birch would be
an eyesore in such place, although both
useful and appropriate in naturalistic
planting OF mixed trees and shrubs cover
ing a rolling site or in naturally wooded
garden.
The sundial too. is inseparably asso-
ciated with formal gardens, supplying
either goal at the end of a path or
centre around which can be arranged
concentrc rings of symmetrical bed,
paths, hedges, etc. or this particular eX-
ample OF garden furniture w. S. Rogers
says in his Garden Planning:
I'm these days of clocks and watches it
cannot be claimed that the sundial serves
any useful purpose as a tlmekeeper. Yet
/ know OF no accessory which adds more
charm to the garden picture. 1t is link
with a past age, when stately crowds,
silk coated and daintly gowned, roamed
the garden peasahce, careless of the
flight of time. Even in the small
est garden the sundial is not out of place
il due consideration is given to scale"

cy in manures that are not wholly rotted.
I have been using for bedding in my

good absorbent OF the liquor manures,
they are very slow TO decompose. and are
said TO cause soil acidlty more than any
other form Of litter Therefore / expect
to be rather free with the lime wherever
| have used that manure.
Were they equally available I would
prefer to use wood ashes, which would
also add potash and phosphorlc acid TO

ground limestone. However either OF
these should be used in twice as large
quantities as the quicklime l bought. 20

Then / have had my hotbed sash in the
workshop and have replaced a few miss
ing panes OF glass and some putty that
had fallen out. Besides this | have pre-
pared two flats and sowed seed of tomato,
pepper, cabbage. lettuce, asters cosmos,
saliva, annual larkspur and pentstemon.
Later these will be transplanted into
the hotbed or into other boxes, where
they can be given more room.
Before the week is out | hope 70 have

beets started in the hotbed and maybe
some green peas sown i'm the garden. The
latter are. however. considerably more

species, so il will not pay to rush their
season too fast.

PROFESSOR BAILEY'S PRINCIPLES
OF FRUIT GROWING.

Professor j. Fl. Bailey, whose authority
in such matters generally goes unques-
toned, in his principles of Fruit Grow
ing" says perhaps half the entire root
system OF the young tree is left in the
ground when it is dug. 1t is, therefore,
evident that the top should be cut back to
corresponding amount. Trees
which are allowed TO carry too much top
when planted may fail outright to grow
or IL they start. they are very likely to be
overtaken by the drouths Of summer.
Even if they live. the growth is generally
small and uncertain. and the tree may fall
n prey TO borers or victim to high winds.
On the other hand, trees may be trimmed
too severely when pruned. Except posi-
bly, i'm the case of peaches. it is probably
unwlse 10 trim the trees TO mere pole,
and with peaches II may be better to leave
spurs with at least one bud than TO trim
to q whip.
"There are two general methods of
trimming the tops Of young trees at plant
ing time. One method cuts back all the
branches 10 spurs of from one to three
buds. or sometimes, particularly with
dwarf pears set when two years old, the
side branches may be cut entirely away,
leaving only the buds on the main stem
or trunk. The three, therefore, feathers
ont, the first season-that is, II makes
many small shoots along the main trunk
The following fall or spring the top is
started at the desired height
''The second method aims to start tne
ton at the required height when the tree
ia pIanted II is adapted only 10 strohs
and well grown stocks, which nave
more or less branching and forking TOP
Erorn three to five OF the best branches
are left, and these are headed back 10
