CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS
BY LIMA ROSE.

II you know the needs of the diff
ferent plants, you can mix the proper
soil yourself for potting your house
plants. Take some old bluegrass
sod and pile it up until it rots. and
you will have an ideal form of de-
'cayed vegetable matter for the prin-
.cipal constituent of all kinds of soil
for potted plants. There are three
kinds of potting soil, as follows:
For geraniums and the ordinary va
rieties of blooming plants-Three
parts loan from the rotted sod, one
part well-rotted manure and one part
sand. if the soil is heavy.
For ferns, begonias and such foliage
plants-Two parts loan, one part leaf
mold or peat, and one-half part sand,
If soil is heavy.
For palms or roses-Two parts clay
loan and one part well-rotted manure
and sand to suit the texture condi-
ton
Use the finger test to learn if the
readily there is too much water; so
do not give the plants little each
day, but only water when needed.
Never use a nozzle on the end of a
hose in watering, as it causes the
stream to pack the soil and injure the
foliage
To prevent your window plants from
blooming only on the street side, turn
them occasionally, and you will have
the blooms in the room as WE'LL Do
not give foliage plants as much light
as for Towering plants; keep the
ferns in shady corner; north win
dow is good place.
Use as dry material only well-rotted
manure. To prepare liquid manure to
be applied only after the ordinary wa
tering has been done, take an ordi-
nary barrel containing one-half bushel
of fresh cow dung, and if extra
strength be required add couple of
quarts of fresh hen manure, and COW
er with water.

all classes of building and can be
used for the entire wall and foundation
of the buildings. 1t makes an excel
lent foundation material because OF
the fact that it is not affected by
dampness and will not deteriorate in
the presence of it. Its use for sewer
construction shows it is proof against
water and dampness.
The walls of barns and other farm
buildings that are made of this mate
rial can be washed down and thus
can be kept in an absolutely sanitary
condition. There are no cracks or
projections to hold germs and dirt,
and the tile will not absorb odors of
any kind. No painting is required.
and the handsome appearance of the
buildings will last forever.
The silo at the back of the barn
shown here is made of curved tile
that is made particularly for this pur-
pose. Hollow tile makes an excel
lent wall for silos for various reasons.
The material that is put in must be
protected against the elements i'll
every possible way. II air can reach

oughly, the coarse material will all
settle to the bottom, and you may fill
the barrel with water, and the solution
is ready to be applied to your plants.
An application every two weeks is
gaIpralIy all that is required for most
plants.
cor this process rlnd is generally
used, or very light soil, as most favor
able for the formation of new roots.
The geranium is perhaps the easiest
to begin with, and a good healthy top
should be selected where wood has
formed. Take sharp knife and cut

gated, and every woman can do her

ed more than probably any bugilist Of
recent years, is still in the thick of
combat and ready to box anyone, any
time, any place.
In spite of the fact that Flynn has
not been very successful against
heayyweights of class, and that he is
no longer a contender for the title,
winning or losing he fights like a
wounded wildcat every time he enters
the ring.
Flynn, whose family name is An
drew Haynes, was born in Hoboken
thirty-three years ago, and is begin
ming to think seriously Of providing
for that period of life when he will no
longer be able to swap punches with
the young and husky heavies of new
generation.

buy from the farmers.

HOW TO GROW PRIMRosES
Ely BESSIE L. PUTNAM.


The best way to propagate prim-
roses is from seeds, which should be
sown in May or June. or as soon as
the soil becomes thoroughly warm.
The seeds are quite small, but are
easily started by sowing in a box or
a bed The soil must be sifted fine
and of moldy consistency which will
not bake or become hard. Press the
surface of the soil smooth and level,
SOW the seed evenly and thinly, and
cover lightly. 1t is mistake to sow
deeply.
The ground must be kept moist and
covered, that is, protected from the
rain, wind and hot sun. until the
plants appear. 1t requires from three
weeks to month to bring plants to
the surface, then they must be care
fully busted with a little tobacco and
sulphur mixed to keep down the
fungus and insects
The primrose requires moist. but
not wet soil, and if the soil is al
lowed to dry out before the plants ap-
pear, propagation will be greatly re-
tarded or entirely stopped.
Used in borders or in pots, the lit
tie primrose is always beautiful,
cheerful plant.
