What He Meant.

Many years ago there. was an Ameri-
can missionary located among the In
dams in the far West who was of a
hospitable turn of mind. He always
kept hard cider on the premises. If
any one of his widely scattered flock
of Indians CHANGED to call upon him,
he would bring them forth a jug of
it. One day a strange Indian called
one whom he had never seen before
evidently an ~unconverted heather, so
far as Christianity was concerned
but converted to the consumption of
alcoholic beverages. He, as it turned
out, had been coached after the man
ner of a student at a university. His
acquaintance with English was linn
tied. He opened fire upon the aston
ished missionary thus: Abraham, ia
cob. Jonah, Job, Satan, B~eelzebub,"
and then paused, evidently expecting
a reply. What op earth do you

NEW HYBRID CARNATIONS
BY |. M.

Thanks to the skill of the hybridist,
we now have races of lovely, fragrant,
ever-blooming carnations, dwarf and
bushy in growth. that show buds and
flowers in four or five months after
the seeds are sown.
The flowers, too, are not only borne
in abundance, but are Of all the lead
ing shades of color, from white
through shades of pink to dark Grim
son, and from cream to bright yellow,
as well as striped and blotched.
These new carnations are as easily
grown as Japan pinks. The seeds may
be sown in a box in the window dur
ing March or April, and the plants set
out where they are to bloom when the
weather becomes warm and settled.
Give them a sunny bed, and if you
wish a fine show of flowers from each
plant, pinch off the first stem that
pushes up to bloom. This will cause
the plant to stool out, and develop sew
eral stalks, each Of which will bear
a cluster Of buds and flowers.
A rich, rather tenacious soil suits
the plants, and they should stand eight
inches apart in the row or bed.
For winter blooming SOW the seeds
in May or June and grow in pots, shift

yearly.
Another aster trouble to guard
against the black beetle. This pest
comes suddenly, does it's ruinous work
rapidly, and often Injuries your plants
beyond the prospect of recovery be-
fore you are aware of its arrival. Here
is where the necessity of keeping
watch of them comes in.
When the first beetle is discovered,
prepare an emulsion after the follow
ing formula: One-half pound of any
good, white soap, reduced to a liquid
by melting.
One teacupful of kerosene.
Let the soap, to which a little water
may be added while it is melting, come
to a boil, then add the kerosene; re-
move from the stove and stir vigorous
ly while the mixture is cooling. A sort
of jelly will result. Use a part of this
to ten parts of water. Stir well to
make sure that the emulsion unites
with the water and apply as a spray.
Use it literally all over the plant, and
repeat the application frequently.
Prompt and persistent efforts are
needed to rout this voracious enemy.

BIackberries.

But the real greatness of a black
berry is in the eating it fresh from the
bush. 1t does not need sugar and
cream. It does not need anything but
a thumb and finger and a mouth. The

shade may be improved by d~octoring,
but the firm ones of moderate size
that grow in the open fields are not

sEASoNABLE SUGGESTIONS
BY EsEN E. REXFoRp.

Keep watch of your asters, for 'in
such an hour as you know not" the
maggot may attack them. 1t is bet
ter, however, to act on the belief that
this enemy is sure to come, and take
measures to head him off.
Work wood ashes into the soil about
the plants, and remove a little soil
Immediately about the base of each
plant and scatter tobacco dust there
literally. This will not injure the
plant, but it may discourage the pest
in its effort to get at the stalk of it.
OF late, many collections of asters
have been ruined by this grub.
The plant will look perfectly healthy
today; tomorrow it will have a with
cred appearance and the next day it
will be yellow, and If you take hold of
its top and give a slight pull. off it
will come close to the ground.
Examination will show that it has
been eaten into at that point. Wood
ashes are the best preventive of its at
tacks of anything I have used, and
