KEEPING UP THE LAWN

Kill weeds on the lawn by either
pulling or cutting off the plant below
the crown.
Don't NOW the lawn too closely
during the heated term; but do not
allow weeds to go to seed.
Deep working, thorough pulveriza-
ton, effective fertilization and a
thorough raking and rolling down to
smooth level are all necessary to
smooth, level lawn.
Get your lawn seeds of a reliable
scotsman, and ask for the best and
the freshest. Don't use old seed left
over from last year, but insist on hav-
ing 1t fresh, and of good mixture.
The best time to seed a lawn is
during the latter part of August or
the early part of September. At that
season, the heat is over and showers
are almost sure to come, and the
young grass will have several months
of cool, moist weather in which to
grow before winter.

ASHES DISCOURAGE BUGS

Especially among asters / find
great value in ashes, containing as
they do phosphates which tend toward
sweetening the soil. No parasite will
contentedly find courage to live in or
enter such an unpleasant soil home.
Ashes are also beneficial in strength
ening and stiffening stalks and for
this reason l advocate them for gladi-
olus beds-but not mixed with ma
nure as some might do-rather strewn
over the surface soil after fertilizers
have been we'll worked in. When thus
treated they seem to release the am
monia of the fertilizer, relieving it Of
its most valuable properties.

THE PERENNIAL FLOWER BED
BY JULIE ADAMS POWELL.

Last month we talked about the
hardy bulbs. This month we are go
ing to make flower border of peren-
NAL plants, plants. which sow their
own seed and of plants that are bien-
malls, and we are going to buy or beg
them ALL
Suppose we have a border from
twenty to forty feet in length and from
six to fifteen feet in depth. Or to fit
our estates" our border can be made
much larger or very much smaller.
A border planted by a woman should
not be over twenty by eight feet in
size, for IL she did all the work ey-
cept the heavy digging, it might not
be possible for her to give a larger
one the right and necessary care

The reason that lath and plaster
walls become streaked is explained
bv John Aitken in Nature as due to
the tendency of hot air TO deposit It's
dust on cold surfaces; and the colder
the surface the weaker the power OF
resistance. SO where the laths pro-

SFe ly for man, however, the
caste system is designed
to aid white ant" communities in de-
stroying timber, and has helped to gain
for 1t the reputation of being one of
the most destructive pests. Crumbling
walls, collapsing floors, breaking bean
poles and weakened fence posts are
evidences of the Tavages of this tiny
insidious insect
The term whit ant" is misleading,
as 1t causes many people to consider
this insect merely a variety of the
ordinary ant, AMI therefore scientists
use the word "termite" in preference,
to describe the insect. AS a matter of
fact, the real ant is one of the enc
mics most to be feared by the termite
The two insects may be commonly
found inhabiting the same log or
stump, and yet the former will capture
and carry away members of a colony
OF termites If they are at all disorgan-
lied by being exposed. Such a help
less colony will attract from a dis
lance ants Of several species and will
offer little resistance to the marauders
The caste system, which is such a
distinctive feature of the life of the
white ant, is evident only among the
adults of colony. When the young
have Just Matched from the eggs, as
soft white grubs, they seem more or
less the same, but after series OF dor
mant stages and molts they develop
along particular lines.
The workers" are probably the
most important caste in any colony.
They make the excavations where the
ants are to live, and help care for the
royal couples and the young.
The Soldiers" are more highly spe.
cialized workers. but are functionally
less important than the workers. The
soldiers are armed with powerful
head and "pinchers" which afford pro-
lection to the colony when there is an
attack made through the opening of
the narrow channels leading to the
nests. Their suit of armor is not com.
plete, however, and their soft bodies
are quite defenseless when colony is
opened up and an energetic army of
real ants attacks them.
The "colonists" are the winged mem
bers of the community, who in the
spring fly away in great numbers to
found new colonies. These establish
themselves in pairs and immediat ely
devote themselves to raising a new
community. Each original pair be-

CRIPPLED WOMAN SAVED.
But Her House at Woodstock Was Much
Damaged by Water.

Woodstock, Nov. 23.-An early morn
ing fire to-day destroyed the main part
of the house on the Sarah NJ. Kidder
place. corner of Court street and Golf
avenue, and badly damaged the ell part.
Miss Clara Kidder, an cid lady badly
crippled and Obliged to keep her bed
most of the time, was the only one oc-
cupying the house at the time. She
smelled the fire which is said to have
caught in the attic. and rang her dinner
bell. Soon the neighbors came and helped
her out and saved some of the things,
but it is said that the fire company was
troubled at first with deficiency of wat
er and could not save the house. IL is
not known what caused the fire. There
was no electricity in the house, and Miss
kidder was so crippled she was not able
TO get upstairs. it is said There is about
5000 insurance on the house and con-
tents which viii probably be mostly
taken up by a mortgage to the Savings
bank
