SPRING I'm THE GARDEN

4 FER the long period Of mac

eagerncss that We await the
first show Of green above the earthly
surface Of the garden That little
point of pale fresh green ushers in
for US new year in the domain. Of
growing things; it is the forerunner Of
the vast array Of coming plants, and like
sturdy pioneer shoulders its way to
the sunlight. The snow may be sur

and the chill of winter may still be

is this tender young stem. in all the
optimism Of youthful aspiration, defy

the renewal Of life that is ushered in
with the Easter tide.
Early Preparations for Flowering.
But while the surface Of the garden
shows only few green tips, the in

tccminr for the last few weeks with
great hustle and TODD The sleeping
roots and bulbs have heard the call of
the sunshine and have begun to bestir
themselves. Most Of them are slug
gIsh and still sleepy from the long
winter Of rest. But there are some
among them that are already alert
and wide-eycd, eager to thrust their .
faces up above the surface and gaze !
about them in the light. These daring /
ones are usually the little bulbs, which /
have wisely stored up supply of .
nourishmeut in their thickened tissues
to carry them through rapidly to an
early towering Some Of the hardy
pcrennials. too. exhibit astonishing
tendencies TO shorten the length Of the
winter season. 1t is not without rea-
son that these plants prepare them
selves the preceding season for this
plucky adventure.
In th.ir natural wisdom plants real.
re that their mission is not fulfilled
until they have set the seed for the
following generation. Not even then
does their tremendous task end. for
they are compelled by the stress Of
competition to invent ways and means
o.. distributing this seed.
A few Of the garden inhabitants have
found that i'm the heyday Of summer
when the majority Of plants are in
full bloom, there is less chance for the
fertilization and dispersal of their !
seeds. Instead, therefore, o. expend-
nS their energies on more attractive
bloom, they have decided to appear at /
a season wien flowers are scarce. and {
by the very lack of numbers reduce c

There is no more marvellous sight

spreading into spacious clumps, and
sending up sheaf after Sheaf Of ivory

is nothing 20 be done for them. except
20 let them bloom in perfect peace. for
they resent any disturbance of the
root.
1t may be Of interest to know that

The plant springs from black root

DOGS THE SLEEPS ENEMY
If This Mennce Were Removed, A,ncri-
can FlOchs Could BE Easily Doubted.

The number Of sheep in the 36 farm
States which DO not include amy in the
western division, could be increased By
80 per cent. ii Is estimated without
displacing other live stock. Some an.
thorities believe that the increase could
be even as much as 800 per cent. without
serious Interference with the number Of
other animals. An increase of $50 per
cent in these sc States would mean in
money Slii2G1 900. In a new publication OF
the Department of Agriculture, Farmers
Bulletin $50, the responsibility for this
loss to the country is laid upon the sheep
killing dog.
Sheep-killins dogs. it is said, are the
principal cause Of the marked decrease
in the numbers of sheep on American
farms. In the 10 years between 1900 and
1910 the number of sheep in tholcountry,
exclusive of the States in the western
division, decreased 3,900G10 head, in face
of the fact that during these same years
the market value Of sheep rose so rapid
ly Nhat the total value of sheep in this
area was $4,000 0o or approximately .
per cent more in 1910 than in 1900. Favor
able though the market conditions We're.
they We're not a sufficient incentive to in
duce farmers to risk the heavy losses from
stray dogs.
The number Of sheep killed annually by
dogs cannot be stated exactly since there
are many cases which are not reported
at all. judging from the figures in those
counties and States in which reasonably
complete reports arc obtaina BILE. however,
1t may be said that in the SO farm states
more than 10000 sheep are killed each
year by dogs. This il is true is less
