STARTING FLOWER SEEDS
BY BESSIE L. PUTNAM.

Almost all flower seeds terminate
more quickly If soaked in warm water
for few hours before planting. In
some instances this Is almost neces.
sity.
The advantage of treating sweet
peas this way is most marked
Cypress vines win stand quite warm
water poured over the seeds 12 hours
before planting.
Gamma seeds and those of the other
large. hard-shelled sorts, sometimes
require careful fling to break the
tough. outer cover. but extreme care
must be taken not to injure the germ
The finer greenhouse seeds should
be merely sprinkled on the surface OF
very fine soil and kept continually
moist. During termination glass
should be kept over the pots. After
the plants have come this should be
removed to admit air.
The sowing Of fern spores on a
brick. covered with just sprinkling
of earth, Is an interesting study to the
nature lover, the necessary water be-
ing supplied by keeping the brick In a
dish Of water.

Brother farmer, have you tract OF

Quently when tree becomes diseased
or in dying condition. l remove it
as soon as circumstances will permit.
You have no doubt noticed trees
with dead tops. These are dying and
will soon be useless but IL, however,
when first noticed the trunk of the
tree is sound and can be manufactured
into lumber or fence posts, in a short
time the value OF the tree can in this
way be saved. But If left standing too
long the body will become decayed
and the tree will become unfit for use.
From all my timber land I have
cut of all the small underground and
all the poor timber of a larger growth,
thereby giving all the nourishment
and strength of the soil to the better
trees.
have this land seeded down with
blue grass. This makes an excellent
pasture for cattle and is also great
help to the trees as the manure from
the cattle helps to enrich the soil, fur,
nishing the trees with more
strengthening substance.
This not only beauties my timber
land but makes it more valuable and
in way cultiyates the timber. giving
it quicker, faster growth. greater
strength and keeping it in healthier
condition.
