The country around Cracow is fat
and is devoted almost wholly to small
farming and trucking. The peasants
dress in white jackets and blue
breeches. and wear jackboots; their
womenfolk. with large bright shawls

Primitive Agriculture.
From Cracow to Lemberg the trav-
eler encounters good land; it is fairly
level and entirely innocent of fences,

and tethers or herdsmen keeping
live stock where 1t belongs. The
same methods of agriculture hat we
used in the United States before the
days of the self-binder and the grain
drill are still in force In that region
1T is in Lemberg that the only
Pollsh-dominated legislative assembly
in existence holds its sessions, for
Lemberg is the capital of Galicia, and
the Poles, both because Of their
shrewd political ability and their nu-
merical weight, control the Galician
legislature in the face of their rivals,
the Ruthenians of East Galicia. The
city of Lemberg is largely modern-a
compact nucleus surrounded by scat
tering suburbs.
While Galicia is almost wholly an
agricultural region, and while a large
percentage of that agriculture is car
ried on in the old-time way, there are
some few manufacturing neighbor-
hoods and Industrial districts. Dis
tilleries occupy first place among the
industries, and there are many beet
sugar and tobacco factories. Petro-
leum springs abound along the Car
pathians, and some OF the towns in
this region grow from small villages
to modern Beaumonts between New
Year and Christmas.
Austrian Poles Fairly Well Treated.
Austria has never treated her
Poles as the Russians and the Prus-
slams have treated theirs. The Poles
of Austria are as free to sing their
national songs as the people of our
own South are free to sing Dixie"

IN THE HOME GROUNDS
BY EREN e. RExEoRp.


This month will be a busy one for
the gardener. There will be plants to
put out, weeds to pull, insects to kill
quite enough to keep me at work
most of the time.
/ do my transplanting on cloudy
days, If possible, but If the weather
persists in being sunshiny, l do the
work after shutdown. Before lifting a
seeding, 1 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 1t. But allow its tender, delicate
roots to be exposed to air for ever SO
little a time and you a serious
risk Of losing your plant.
II this does not happen, it will re-
ceive q check from which 1t will take
O long time to recover.
One ca0not be too careful with any
thing as delicate as a seeding plant
In bright weather newly t~ransplanted
seedlings will require shading for g
day or two. l cut out a circle Of
oar brown paper, about a foot
across, make a slit to the center on
one side of 1t, and fold the paper ovel
two or three inches, running a 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.

Is designed to protect. This kind Of
q covering keeps the sun away from
the plant, but does not interfere with
free circulation of air about it.
What kind Of a support are you go
ing to give your gladioli? Tying theil
stalks to sticks gives them such a stiff
and prim appearance that l always
feel sorry for the poor plants. A stick
in the center Of a clump does NOT
furnish q really satisfactory support
to the stalks on the outside of 1t, and
a hoop supported on sticks is open to
the objection Of being only a little
better than nothing.

Neat, attractive, five-room bunga-
lows are in great demand in towns,
villages, and in the outskirts of large
cities.
American ingenuity has met all diff
hculties and adjusted this type of
building to the satisfaction OF build
ers and owners and the public in gen.
eral, with the exception only of covet-
u neighbors who are not fortunate
enough to own bungalows.
The perspective and floor plan here
with illustrated shows a bungalow
type of residence intended for a COM
paratively narrow lot that has consid-
cradle depth.
The general arrangement is to place
the house about twenty feet back from
the street to look we'll on the lot.
The depth of the house is Al feet 6
inches, which brings the rear Of the
building about sixty feet from the
street line.
A bungalow setting requires consid-
cradle garden at the back and a neat
ly-kept grass plot in front to carry out
the idea of coy home comfort. A
pretty house needs beautiful flowers
and handsome shrubbery to complete
the picture.
The construction of this bungalow
Is concrete up to a few inches above
