All Good Fellows.

There are innumerable stories from
the front OF how the opposing troops
will persist in fraternizing in spite of
the fact that they are engaged ii Sight
ing one another. They are all good as
proving that even in the trenches the
kindly side OF human nature cannot
be suppressed One of the most in
teresting of them Is told OF a certain
place in Flanders where the British
guards were faced DAY and night by
a battalion Of Germans, one of whom.
by the name Of Ludwig, became some
how known to the British Ludwig,
declares one Of the English officers
writing home, was a splendid specimen
Of manhood, and the English Tom
mics" conceived an admiration for
him. Every morning. before the seri-
Gus work of the day began, there
would be persistent shouts of "Lud-
wig" from the British trenches, where
upon the German would appear for
minute on the parapet, and bow to the
cheering guards, and then drop out of
sight again. After this, both sides
would open fire.

containing the gladioli and stretch it
over the plants before they begin to
send up their flower stalks. | support
it on stout stakes that project about
eighteen inches above the surface of
the soil, using enough of them to keep
the netting level all over the bed.
This is the season for making war
fare on the enemies of the rose. If
one would have fine flowers he must
make up his mind that he's got to fight
for them. | use an emulsion of soap
and kerosene.
1t is very necessary that the appli-
cation should get to the under side Of
the leaves and the inside of the
bushes, where the insects are likely
to hide away; therefore it will be well
to have someone assist by bending the
bushes over and holding them in that
position while the application is being
made.
Worms, slugs, green lice and the
rose-chafer can be kept from injuring
the bushes if the emulsion is applied
thoroughly anu lltiutHtly'
AS soon as my lilacs are past the
Towering periods, go over the bushes
and cut away all the seed clusters.
The result isl get fairly good crop
of flowers on what is generally consid-
cred the "off year" of this excellent
old shrub. If it is allowed to develop
seed, it generally has few flowers ex-
cept on alternate years.
Speaking of lilacs reminds me to
say, that | do not indorse what some
people say about this plant being a
nuisance because of its habit of send
ing up so many suckers from its
roots.
That it is prolific in this respect |
admit, but there is no good reason for
allowing them TO grow until you have
thicket of bushes. Give your hoe
blade the sharpness of a knife by filing
it to a keen edge, and 60 over the
ground about your lilacs at the sprout-
ing season, and shave off every sprout
that shows its head above the grass,
You can do this just as easily and rap
idly as you can cut off so many weeds,
and by doing it you can keep your
lilacs from spreading all over the
yard.
These bushes are nuisances only
when allowed TO have their own way.
Give them the attention they need
and they are easily kept under con
troll The secret of success consists
in not letting them get the start of
you.

Five hundred millions of dollars is

to give this country a navy which

IN THE HOME GROUNDS
BY EBEN e. REXFORD.


This month will be busy one for
the gardener. There will be plants to
put out, weeds to pull, insects to kill
quite enough to keep one at work
most of the time.
! do my transplanting on cloudy
persists in being sunshiny, | do the
work after shutdown. Before lifting
Seeding, apply enough water to
thoroughly saturate the soil in which
1t is growing. If this is done, the
young plant can be moved without eX-
posture to the roots, and it will receive
no check whatever, but will keep on
growing as if nothing had happened
to it. But allow its tender, delicate
roots to be exposed to air for ever so
little a time and you run a serious
risk of losing your plant.
If this does not happen, it will re-
ceive a check from which it will take
long time to recover
One cannot be too careful with any
thing as delicate as seeding plant.
In bright weather newly trarsplanted
seedlings will require shading for a
day or two. l cut out a circle Of
coarse brown paper, about a foot
across, make a slit to the center on
one side of it, and fold the paper over
two or three inches, running wire
out and in through the folded part.
This wire serves to hold the paper to-
gether and acts as a support for the
little brown paper umbrella.
1t should be at least twelve inches
long-long enough to insert in the
ground close to the seeding, and hold
the paper cone we'll above the plant it
is designed to protect. This kind Of
covering keeps the sun away from
the plant but does not interfere with
free circulation of air about it.
What kind of support are you 60
ing to give your gladioli? Tying their
stalks to sticks gives them such a stiff
and prim appearance that | always
feel sorry for the poor plants. A stick
in the center of clump does not
furnish a really satisfactory support
to the stalks on the outside of it, and
hoop supported on sticks is open to
the objection of being only little
better than nothing.
Here is my plan-and one that
works well, and can be easily carried
