While the fragrance of the mignon- cite is highly enjoyable, we question whether it is not better when only a few flowers are grown to depend for fragrance upon some of the flow CTS which are also beautiful in form and color, as the sweet pea and the carnation.
 The rose-geranium slip planted early in May will soon become an i'm mense plant with most luxuriant fo- liage, which is just the thing for en- circling the base of your bouquet, be the flowers what they may.
 The leaves are also used in scent ing the handkerchief or note paper box
 Another year you may decide to border your bed of geraniums with this scented rose, or better to alter nate the green with the white edged variety.

SUMMER AMONG FLOWERS
Bv BESSIE L. PUTNAM.

If the porch box was fully enriched at planting time with well decayed ma- terial from the COW stable it will prob ably not require additional fertilizer, although so many plants blooming in so contracted space may prove too hard strain.
 If the growth becomes less thrifty, try using liquid manure once every week or two.
 The salvia bed is now in it's glory. If few. slips are placed in water in a sunny window and allowed to take root they will be fine foundation for the winter window garden.
 Plant flowers in the back yard. Then if the drainage problem has nev- CT been fully worked out, the plants may thrive upon the kitchen waste during the summer months, and there will be no trouble about cess-pools.
 If you have occasion to paint plant stands or boxes avoid the bright and conspicuous tints. Olive green and black are both colors which harmonize we'll with almost anything else and are not in themselves conspicuous. Keep the blossoms closely clipped as soon as they begin to fade.
 Many complained last spring that seeds did not come up, three success sive plantings being necessary in some instances to obtain show of plants.
 Here again, in an adverse season, or when old seed is used, comes the advantage of generous sowing.
 Then, if the heavy rains come and wash the ground out, there is still a chance that enough seeds are left to make a good showing.
 Most flowers will not succeed iD a shady yard. If you have such To- cation, make the most of it, taking your pay in pansies, ferns and plenty of comfort But the flowers must be given a place in the garden where they will get sunshine during at least a portion of the day.

LADIES TO MAKE WAR ON WEEDS

The Pulaski Heights Health Club met Monday afternoon at the home of it's president, Mrs. Carl Baer. There was a good attendance and much en- thusiasm. A committee, consisting of Mrs. c. w Garrison and Mrs. M. IA Stacey, was appointed to confer with the City Council with reference to getting the city's cooperation in a general cleanup of weeds, especially along the sidewalks. It was proposed to establish trash receptacles at some of the corners along Prospect Avenue The ladies complained about the ir- regularity of the garbage collection service. The club has paid all of it's bills and has some money left in it's treasury
 This drug store has everything that's kept in modern drug store. and more too. Mail orders are spec ially appreciated, no difference how small, and we pay the postage on ov erything and can mail Nitalitas, Vi uol or any liquid or tonic up to one pllt. We have all the new toilet prep arations, hospital supplies. stationery, perfumes. kodaks and kodak supplies.

SOME FLOWER NOTES

Pot your callas early in September.
 Sprinkle powdered borax around plants that are bothered with ants.
 Mark the native plants when in bloom, and this fall transplant them to your border Many of them are worth having in the garden.
 The spotted calla will die down after blooming and should be left in the ground until late autumn, when 1t can be taken up and stored until Jan uary. Store like gladiolus bulbs.
 For rose mildew spraying with sul- phide of potassium, using one ounce to three gallons of water, is much more effective than the old-fashioned method of dusting the foliage with flowers of sulphur.
 Try making climbers of your choice petunias. Trim out all but three or four branches and keep these tied up to stake or trellis. Give them rich soil and plenty of water, if you want something beautiful
The Pulaskian., 1915-05-21
PICKED UP IN POULTRY YARD.

The fowls will need plenty of green stuff from now until grass comes celery tops, cabbages, cut clover or ground alfalfa
 They must have some meat substf- ute for the worms and bugs which they will get on range later-beef scraps, green cut bone or meat meal.
 Keep plenty of pure water before the fowls every day all the time Scald the drinking vessels two or three times week.
 It is downright cruelty to chickens to confine them with turkeys, as many of them will be killed by the larger birds.
 Piercing winds of March and April are very hard on the fowls, and every crack in the poultry house should be made tight, leaving, of course, perfect ventilation near the top.
 Never allow the laying hens, or in fact any poultry, to stand around on damp, cold floors. Straw, chaff or leaves are cheap.
 Some people say they have had good success by feeding corn exclusively, but it is fact that hens cannot thrive on this feed many months at time.
 Always remember that skim milk IS hard to beat in the feeding ration.
The Pulaskian., 1915-05-21

Many seeding plants found growing about the roots of old plants may be lifted and potted, sinking the pot in the soil and keeping the young plants growing until cool nights, when they should be brought indoors, gradually accustoming them to the new condi tions until cold weather, when they will give the finishing touches to the cheer of the living room. The busiest housewife may have few plants, and there is nothing more encouraging than a bit of thrifty greenery in the house when the storms are raging on the outside
The Pulaskian., 1915-05-21
PLANTS FOR THE BORDER

In choosing plants for the border, try to get those varieties which give a succession of bloom. The majority of ornamental shrubs come into bloom early in the season, but there are many which give fine effect during the summer and well along into the autumn months While some shrubs are foot or less tall others reach a height of ten or twelve feet, and this should be considered in determining location.

LITTLE GARDEN NOTES
Always Use Very Best Seed 0b-
 tainabIe for Every Crop.
Scatter soot Around Stems of Plants as Slug Antidote and for Plant Food - Cultivation Kills
 Weeds and Admits Air.
(By ELMA IONA LOCKED

CSdS Will SprOuI at 45 degrees.
 Always plant the best-not the cheapest-seed you can get for every crop.
 The garden should be near the house and surrounded with a good woyen-wire netting fence to keep the fowls and other garden pests out.
 If the garden must of necessity be on stiff, clayey soil, mix all the coal ashes and sand obtainable with it; they will mellow it up wonder fully.
 A hard crust over the soil prevents the rain and heat from entering. AL ways keep the surface of the soil loose.
 Soot is a good and safe fertilizer for nearly everything Scattered around the stems of plants, making the soil black, acts in the first place as slug antidote and in the next as plant food
 Bonemeal is excellent for vines and fruit trees, and three or four ounces may be applied to the square yard.
 As soon as crop of any kind ap- pears above ground it needs cultiva- tion. both to kill the weeds and to admit the air to the roots of the plants.
 It is useless to plant beans until the ground becomes warm If they come up and they are chilled they turn yellow and never amount to any thing.
 Lima beans, melons and other ten der vegetables may be advanced two or three weeks by starting them in pots or bits of inverted sod in hot

bed When the weather becomes warm enough, transplant without disturbing the roots
 In transplanting cabbages, set the plants in the ground up to the first leaf, no matter how long the stem is, and press the earth firmly about it.
 In transplanting any vegetable plants, let it be done in the evening if possible Press the soil firmly about the roots and water well. If, after the water disappears, dry earth is covered over the wet it will prevent baking of the soil about the roots when the sun comes out next day.
 If the bean poles are short and the vines are pinched off when they reach the top, the beans will mature earlier.

Do you keep salt so your cattle can get it all the time, or do you aim to salt them once a week? The once-a- week fellow is too liable to forget. Have a salt box in a convenient GOV cred place and always have salt in 1t
