Orchard and Garden Notes.

Clean up the garden. Burn all
weeds, vines, etc.
Apples will keep better wrapped in
paper and stored in cool cellar.
Put little sand over carrots, beets
or other roots to prevent drying out.
A bouquet OF the straw or everlast-
ing flowers, cut before frost, will last
well into the Winter.
Where only few cabbages are to
be stored 1t is a good plan to wrap
the heads in newspapers and put
them on shelves in cool cellar.
Pumpkins and squash should be
stored in a cool, dry place. If stored
in a hot place they will lose weight
quickly. Keep them from frost.
Take up few plants of parsley and
set in pots or boxes in the kitchen
window or light basement window.
They do not need much light or care
and furnish an abundance of material
for Winter garnshing.
AS soon as the cannas, dahlias,
gladioli, ETC., have been killed by the
frost, dig and store the bulbs in a
frost-proof place that is neither too
dry nor too moist The bulbs must
not shrivel or start into growth. 1t
is often a good plan to cover them
with dry sand or earth.
Pick up and burn all twigs and
branches that have dropped from the
trees, since they may c., attain iniuri-
Gus insects.
Dahlias have been especially fine
this season. They seem to do best on
a sandy loan and in a season that is
cool and moist
Tulips may still be set in the
ground outside. A good bed of bright
colored tulips adds much to the at
tractiveness Of the home surround
ings.

needs to be put around their stems
to insure their freshness upon their

SPRAYING FOR APPLE TREES
First Summer Spray for Apples Should
Be Applied Just Before Trees
Begin to Blossom.

by A. J. GUNDERSON, Illinois Expert
ment Station)
If apple trees have San Jose scale,
scurvy or oyster-shell scale, spray
while the trees are dormant with COM
mercial sulphur at the rate of one gal
lon to eight gallons of water. The
first summer spray for apples should
be applied just before the trees bios
som, at time when buds are show
ing pink, but before they have opened.
This spray should consist of lime sui
phur at the rate of one gallon to 40
gallons of water, and to this mixture
add arsenate of lead at the rate of two
pounds to SO gallons of water. These
two materials should be mixed to-
gether, the lime sulphur being a spray
for apple scab, and the arsenate of
lead for the control of curculio.
The second summer spray should be
made Immediately at the fall of the
bloom, that is, after the blossoms have
been pollenized, with the same mix
ture as for the first spray. This spray
is for apple scab, codling moth and
curculio. The third summer spray
should be applied about two weeks
after the second. This spray is also
for the control of apple scab, any cod
ling moth or curculio that may still
be- working on the fruit.

The hotbed should be made as early
as possible, the first week in February
in the North. A square box about Is
inches deep, covered with common
window sash and filled with IL inches
of manure and two inches of finely pull
verified topsoil is all that is necessary.
A temporary hotbed can be made
by making a foundation of coarse sta
BILE manure into broad fiat heap and
thoroughly tamping it down. The ma
nure heap should be eight or nine feet
wide, Is to "a inches deep and as long
as may be necessary to fit the window
sash. The frames, placed on top of
the manureheap, should face the south
and the front board should be from
four to six inches lower than the back,
so that the water will drain from the
glass.
After the topsoil is put on, the bed
should be thoroughly sprinkled, the
sash closed and the bed left to gen.
crate heat. If properly made the heat
ought to run up to 100 degrees or more,
but no seed should be planted until it
falls to about 80 degrees. This con-
dition will generally occur about the
third day.
The seed should be sown in straight
rows and each variety marked with the
name on small fiat stick placed at
the end of the row.
The hotbeds must be watered slight
ly in the morning only. If watered at
night it will tend to chill the bed and
retard the plant. The bed must always
be we'll ventilated and on bright days
the sash should be removed in order
to give the plants all the sunshine pos
sible. On cool nights the sash should
be closed with the exception of about
an inch, in order that the plants may
have ventilation.

One might conclude that there had
just come about general awakening
to the Importance of the collar, if the
number of new designs brought out
measures the demand for novel neck
wear. Those who provide it deserve
all sorts of credit, for the neck may
be becomingly dressed now whether
1t be thin or fat, long or short. There
are all kinds of collars for all kinds
of necks
For the thin woman the turnover
collars and those with plaits at the
back are an inspiration. For her, COL
lars are made closed and high at the
front, or with only narrow opening
and deep turnover cape at the back.
They are wonderfully becoming.
A pretty collar of embroidered
batiste is shown at the left of the pic
ture, with the turned-over cape at the
back also pictured. This is one ex-
ample of a very popular type, and
there are great numbers of similar
styles in lace, net and embroidered
materials.
At the right, a collar with long
pointed wings at the sides is shown.
1t is made of batiste and net COM
bined with dainty pattern embroid-
cred on both. 1t is high in the back.
All these collars of sheer fabrics-in-
Guiding laces-are wired to hold them
in position.
Besides being very becoming and
providing pretty finishing touch to
the dress, these collars save the blouse
or waist from becoming soiled and dis
colored. They are inexpensive and
easily done up, and they must be reck-
oned with as the most important dress

GREATLY IMPROVED
PEPPER VARIETIES
New Upright Sweet Salad Is of
Recent Observation-Disclosures
DuIce Is Largest.

Green peppers are fine. They can
be grown on any good garden soil, but
should not be put out till the ground
is warm. The varieties of peppers,
unlike the egg plant are numerous,
and therefore have been greatly i'm
proved of late years. The New Up
right Sweet Salad is of recent intro
duction. 1t is bright scarlet in color,
mild and sweet
Magnum Dulce is by far the largest
pepper in cultivation, and the most
prolific; no other variety gives such
large specimens. It Is very sweet and
perfectly reliable.
Ruby King is one OF the standards
and has for many years been deserv-
ing Of first place among the varieties
of peppers, but in many respects it is
not equal to the above-described kinds.
Chinese Giant is very large, but not
as prolific as some of the other large
varieties.

kind of marketing arrangements.
In some sections the marketing prob

Of these troubles, the marketing or
CARNATIONS have proved their worth
by saving thousands of dollars for
their collective memberships and saw
ing the individual growers several
cents crate on his berries.
The plants require fairly rich soil,
but any land that will grow good corn
will raise Strawberries. The land
ought to be thoroughly MANFRED the
fall and early winter before the plants
are set.
After the manure is spread the
ground should be plowed to depth
of about six inches. Next spring it
should be disked as soon as the ground
is dry enough to work. Dragging and
narrowing will smooth it down so the
plants can be given splendid start.
They need a firm subsoil to hold
dampness, but the soil at the top
should be free and loose.
The plants are usually put out in
1S-inch intervals in rows three feet
apart. Where it is possible the rows
should be made of considerable length.
It is better to have a long, narrow
strip of strawberries than to have the
same area in a square. 1t means
great deal in first-year cultivation to
have the rows long enough that they
are easily plowed.

The farm garden is left to women
folk, but they manage to produce an
average of over 5000 per acre every
year-four or five times as much as
the average farmer produces from his
general crops.
The average value of garden truck
produced by dwellers in small towns
and cities is much above 5000 per acre.
1t is a fact that the best gardeners in
this country are city and town dwell
ers, doubtless because men pay more
attention to the work and are more
willing to spend money for fertilizer
and good seeds than the farm wife.
AS rule farmers pay little or no at
tention to their gardens, although they
expect their wives to supply the en-
tire family with vegetables the year
around. The most menfolk do is to
grudgingly plow up plot of ground,
harrow it perhaps once or twice and
then leave the rest to Providence and
the women.
IL more attention were paid to the
OCIOCClOu VI 6OOu oCCUO dhO LuC uoC "
proper fertilizers, in addition to stable
manure, and if the womenfolk could
have the services of the hired man
three or four hours week, they would
be able to double their garden crop.
Even if the farmers wife cannot buy
bone meal, nitrate of soda and other
vegetable fertilizers, but must depend
upon what stable manure she can
wheel to her garden plot on a wheel
barrow, she can by proper methods not
only increase the yield of her garden
but do it with less work.
The main thing is to get an early
start with good seed. This requires a
hotbed, one of the simplest things in
the world, but which is in use in COM
paratively few farmers gardens.

Bordered Goods.

Bordered goods are among the
spring novelties. Unlike the bordered
goods that have been in favor other
seasons, the most interesting of the
new goods will have the border not
woven in, but of a different material.
This furnishes another opportunity
for embroidery, for the contrasting
fabric will be joined to the other ma
terial by means of fancy stitches.
Such bordered fabrics have been used
by some of the designers in the new
models and it is thought that they will
be we'll accepted by the general public.

SOME ESSENTIALS
FOR GARDEN WORK
Windbreak Should Be Planted
in May-Do Not PIoW Too
Early in the Spring.
(By MRS. JOHN FIELD1


Let the rows run north and south !;
this gives the most sun exposure.
Two essentials are necessary for
the rapid maturing of vegetables; a
soil made light with sand and we'll
rotted manure, and windbreak.
Plant your windbreak in May, and
a hemlock hedge is the thing.
Plan to plant crops that live from
year to year, like asparagus, rhubarb.
Strawberries and the like, at one end,
so that they will not interfere when
you cultivate the annual vegetables.
Root crops should be planted to-
gether, as we'll as vine crops, such as
cucumbers, melons, ETC.; also toma-
toes, peppers, elephants and the like.
Never plant melons near squashes or
pumpkins.
Do not pillow too early in the spring.
Wait until the ground is dry. Follow
with the harrow until the soil is finely
pulverized.
Use wood ashes for potatoes. The
potato relishes the potash contained in
them and the scab does not like the
lime they contain.
Give your garden crops just the fer
tilizer they prefer. Remember that
plants that furnish us with edible
leaves or stalks flourish if given nitro
gen; when the fruit, root, kernel or
bulb is the edible part dose with ashes,
potash or phosphoric acid.
Half pound OF salt to the square

STRAWBERRY is MONEY CROP
Profit Is Assured If Marketing Ar
engagements Are of Right Kind
Rich Soil Is Essential.

Some men take 5000 worth of straw
berries from an acre of ground, a few
have taken $500 worth from the same
area and there are many growers who
barely make living wages out of their
strawberry paintings. Yet strawber-
ries are accounted a sure crop and
a crop that makes quick returns.
Various growers of Strawberries
have estimated the cost of producing
an acre of this product at anywhere
from $50 to 500, writes F. L. Alexan-
der of Arkansas in Farm Progress,
For a generation the strawberry
grower has been having his fat years
alternating with some mighty lean
ones and most growers will tell you
