no: not half of the time or half

DARK DAYS IN ALL LIVES
Can Be Only Temporary, and Cheer
Ing Thought Is That the Sun VIII
Shine Again.

How cheering it is to see the sun
come out after days Of storm and
cloud. All the while the weather is
gloomy you know that the sun will
shine out again in his glory, with
fresh strength and life. II is like a
gift newly bestowed on the earth,
So in life there come stormy days
and dark days. Remember that they
will pass just as surely; they cannot
last forever You are disappointed in
something, and perhaps that particu-
lar wished-for Joy will never come to
you. But it may be that something
else just as good is on the way, some
thing eTen better, It may be. Sorrow
and disappointment are assuaged with
time, and other things enter into life
that make 1t good, even as the clouds
break up and float away and the softer
light shines through at sunset. So
there is always a worse that might
have been.
The dark days are for introspection,
for remembering that few troubles are
as heavy as they seem. Sunny days,
better things, are at hand that will
come with cheer and healing like the
welcome rays OF the sun.-Milwaukee

BITS ABOUT THE GARDEN

Too much fertilizer developes q
weak but rapid growth.
Save the tin cans and make holes
in the bottoms; fill with water and
set in the soil at the roots Of the
plants. Fill with water once or twice
every day and this will keep the roots

Carnations and pinks should be
layered early this month and seeds
of early perennials sown for early
blooming next spring. For late bloom.
ing in border, SOW seeds of calendula,
alyssum, portulacca, gilia, verbena,
etc.
Always stir the soil about plants
before watering, water in the evening
and next day rake the soil to prevent
baking. For insects apply clear water
dashing with a syringe from different
points, wetting both top and under
side of the foliage.
The grevillia, or silk oak, is as dec.
orative as palm, and is readily
grown from seed. Pot the plants for
window garden, and keep growing
thriftily. 1t is always beautiful.

HINTS FOR ALL SEASONS

Pot Easter lilies in good, rough
open soil in clean pots.
Shower the potted plants daily and
keep, clean.
Stick to the standards unless you
are experienced.
Do not try to grow ferns If you can
not give them moist atmosphere.
1t is hard to keep flowers in room
or house where gas is used.
Get the hanging baskets and plants
for them ready for use.
Put a box of good soil, sand and
old manure under shelter for emer-
gency work.
For early lilies pot by the first week
In September Get the lilies in the
border as soon as possible now.
Pot some of the young plants, or
nasturtium, get into bloom in the sun
shine, and they will bloom long time.
Nice for hall.
The grevillia is a very decorative,
easily grown plant, and nothing is
handsomer for a hall plant. Equal to
palm.
1t is better to buy rooted carnation
slips than risk them yourself, if you
are inexperienced.
Turn all plunged pots to keep the
roots from striking through the drain
age hole.
Pot plants that have done service in
the border the last of this month and
give them small pots. Some kinds
will bloom later.
Give water sparingly to all freshly
potted plants until growth starts.
Leave out of doors as long as posi-
BILE, or until fear of frost.
Primroses should have a cool, but
not cold room, with good light though
not necessarily sunshine. Water care
fully.
Repot all plants needing it. Many
plants will do badly If potbound, while
those that require it must be well fed
with fertilizers.
Don't try to keep lousy plants.
They are as bad as lousy chickens.
Get rid of the insects, or throw the
plant away.
For insects, sulpho-tobacco or fir
tree, oil soap should be applied in so
luton once week until clean, before
bringing indoors.
A heliotrope will drop it's leaves If
given too much water, or too little.
One must learn the happy medium. 1t
needs rich sandy soil.
Rake up the lawn clippings and fall
en- leaves, store them in boxes or bar
Fels under shelter, to be used as pro-
lection for plants later on.
Do not have the potting soil too rich.
House conditions tend to induce
weak, rapid growth, which rich soil
only aggravates.
A soil with no manure in it is best,
at first, with reliable fertilizers applied
after the plant has become accustomed
to It's new quarters and begun sturdy
growth.

To Avoid "colda.W

"A few points to remember If you
would avoid taking cold: Never go
directly from very warm atmosphere
into very cold air. Don't jump from
an overheated room into an ice-cold
bed on a sleeping porch Remove
your wraps when shopping indoors on
a cold day or when visiting. Don't
bundle up the throat, but don't ex>
pose the whole chest Seventy degrees
should be the highest temperature in
your living rooms or offices. Don't
overexert, then expose yourself to in
fection in a draft or in hot room
that is probably full Of disease germs
Keep your vitality at par, avoid
people with bad colds, and you will
probably get through the bad seasons
with not more than snifle or so."-

I levels below that Of the ground-water
surface in the driest seasons.
Unpolluted springs are as a rule
good sources Of water supply, since
the water usually comes from great
depths within the rock or is filtered
through many layers of sand and
gravel However, springs are subject
to pollution from the same sources
as wells and should be closely
watched in this respect. Farm spring
supplies are often polluted by the
drainage from buildings and stock
pens. Spring water supplies from
limestone are also subject to pollution
from distant garbage and sewage
dumps in sinkholes. The same pre-
cautions should be taken for safe
guarding spring supplies as in the
case of wells, and in addition the
spring should always be fenced to
keep out the stock Spring supplies
should be frequently examined for
pollution of any kind, and the water
should be boiled before drinking, If
possible, although this is not abso-
lutely necessary in all cases.

1t has been noticed that since the
war broke out the number of charges
of defamation and violence lodged by
tenants against their concierges and

numbers of wives who had been ac-

their long-suffering husbands now find
this occupation gone. So, just to keep
an edge to their tongues, they sharpen
them on their concierges. But con.

Novel Danish Eel Farm.

A novel Danish development is the
eel farm at Nielsen, on ICELAND island.
A piece of lowland along the Ise
Fjord has been converted into a pond
of 432 acres, averaging two feet in
depth, and equipment has been pro-
vided for pumping into the naturally
brackish water a supply of fresh wa
ter from an adjacent canal, or salt
water from the ford.
Living mostly in fresh water, the
eel has the curious habit of seeking
the deep sea to spawn or attain matur-
ity. The eel larvae, drifting helpless
ly far from land, develop into elvers,
and these seek the fresh waters, there
to remain until they in turn reach ma
turity.
For stocking the farm the elvers
are trapped as they arrive in the early
spring. To get ripe, fully grown cells
for the market salt water from the
ford is pumped into special boxes,
and this attracts the matured individ-
uals, whose instincts call to salt wa
ter.
The output Of 1913 was about $4,000
pounds.
