THE BEAUTY OF VINES
BY JOSEPHINE DE MARI.


When in doubt as to what to plant.
plant vines, is sound advice. Vines
beautify: they are useful; they are
easy to grow; they shade from the
hot sun: they hide Old or obnoxious
features; they encourage the birds to
nest about the house. they are the
drapery nature throws over and about
with lavish hand to soften and EN-
bellsh.
When preparing to plant vines be
sure to spade deeply. manure heavily,
and prepare the soil carefully. After
perennial or hardy vines are estab-
lshed. 1t is difficult to cultivate them,
therefore, do all you can before plant
ing them. When they begin to spin
they must have supports, otherwise
they will be stunted in growth and
unsatisfactory.
There are so many beautiful vines
among ANIMALS, perennials and hardy
vines that 1t is hard to decide, II the
choice is at all restricted. II you wish
to blot out an old building, cover it
with vines. If you dislike the neces-
sary fence, turn 1t into a thing OF
beauty by planting vines along its
length.

HINTS IN THE GARDEN

DO not expose palms, etc, to the
full sunshine-those that have been
growing winter and spring in the
house. Plunge their pots into the
earth to the rim and construct lathe
or Stat house over tom that will
allow the sunlight to sDift on them.
This is done by mailing the Stats two
inches apart.
Climbing roses frequently show
signs OF midew at this season OF the
year Dust them with sulphur while
they are wet with dew
In dry season a garden always
needs extra care. Leaves will turn
yellow and fall, and the flowers will
soon wither and present an unsightly
appearance as they cling to the Stats.
Go over the grounds at least every
other day and take up whatever has
fallen and remove faded blossoms
Neatness should be the order Of the
day throughout the entire season.

(By w. M. KELLY.)

(By w. M. * Ll4Df.)
In order to grow successful crops for
| less cost than they will sell for in the
market, we must feed them out on the
farm. so that we shall realize more
| than the market price for them, and
thus make two profits. Could we mar
ket what we raise for an increased
| price we would not need to raise so
much to meet expenses. And il we
could realize a profit above the mar
! ket price for our feeding crops, we
should in many instances double our
incomes, and without adding to the
cost Of production and SO have less
cause to complain Of low prices and
overproduction.
The first step towards more profit
able feeding is improved stock. There
are very few farms that are not sup
porting animals at loss on account Of
| their inferior quality.
We should keep not only more good
stock, but we should keep those that
are adapted to our needs.
Diversified farming is the safest.
Different soils require different crops;
and upon all, farm rotation is essential
to profitable production. But the feed
ing of live stock Is a separate and
distinct branch Of the business; and
the narrower the limits to which we
confine ourselves the better the re-
suits.
Study the adaptation Of your farm;
IL
likes and dislikes and then specialize
upon the kind of stock husbandry that
Judgment teaches is best for your
farm.
The beef producer will not find it
profitable to keep Jerseys, nor the
dairyman Herefords.
1t is feeding special-purpose animals
that has enabled feeders to realize
profits on the amount Of feed that is
consumed and 1t is the feeding of dairy
animals that has enabled dairymen to
make their business profitable.
The better the animals the larger
the profits, and the animals that are
bred for special purposes are more
certain OF giving good results.
While it is my opinion that dairy
farming is the most profitable manner
OF realizing good profits on home
grown feeds, yet il is out Of the ques
tion for all of us to become dairy farm
ers. Some will do better with sheep
and some with horses.
1t is not profitable for a man to
handle animals that he does not like
and that he can take no pride and in
terest in keeping in a good condition.
The most important requisite for feed
ing any kind Of stock is pure water
and plenty Of it; other things may be
neglected to a certain extent, but the
water Is indispensable.
More than one-hah Of the live
weight Of all our domestic animals is
water, and water is the universal sol
yent, the medium by which all sub

More Potash Coming

American crops and soils are
still as hungry for Potash as be-
fore the outbreak Of the Euro
pean war, which curtailed the
Potash shipments.
Some of the Fertilizer Com
panies are trying to induce far
mers to buy the one-sided low
Potash or no Potash fertilizers of
generation ago. This means a
fertilizer that is profitable to the
manufacturer, but not the best
for the farmer. When the Syn
dicate in 1910 started the direct
sales Of Potash to dealers and
farmers at reasonable prices,
Potash sales increased IS per
cent. in one year, a clear proof
that farmers know that Potash
Pays. They know that Potash
gives good yields, good quality
and resistance to plant diseases.
Many of the Fertilizer Manu-.
facturers are willing to meet the
farmers wishes and sell him
what he thinks he needs. These
manufacturers are now willing
to furnish as much Potash as
they can secure. They offer
goods with 5 per cent. and even
in some cases 10 per cent Potash,
if the farmers insist on it.
Shipping conditions are i'm
proving, more Potash is coming
forward, although the costs Of
production and transportation
are higher. The higher price Of
fertilizers is not due wholly to
the slightly higher cost of Pot
arb. Much of the Potash that
will be used in next springs
fertilizer had reached America
before the war started.
There is no substitute for Pot
ash.
We can no more return to the
fertilizer of twenty years ago
than we can return to the inef
fcient farm implements or un-
blelivestock of thatperiod.
