Banner"-The Flowers Usually Large and Double

containing the gladioli and stretch it
over the plants before they begin to
send up their flower stalks. support
it on stout stakes that project about
eighteen inches above the surface Of
the soil, using enough of them to keep
the netting level all over the bed.
This is the season for making war
fare on the enemies of the rose. If
one would have fine flowers he must
make up his mind that he's got to fight
for them. use an emulsion of soap
and kerosene.
1t is very necessary that the appli-
cation should get to the under side Of
the leaves and the inside Of the
bushes, where the insects are likely
to hide away; therefore it will be we'll
to have someone assist by bending the
bushes over and holding them in that
position while the application is being
made.
Worms, slugs, green lice and the
rose-chafer can be kept from injuring
the bushes if the emulsion is applied
thoroughly and frequently.
As soon as my lilacs are past the
Towering periods, go over the bushes
and cut away all the seed clusters.
The result isl get fairly good crop
of flowers on what is generally consid-
cred the "on year" Of this excellent
old shrub. If it is allowed to develop
seed, it generally has few flowers ex-
cept on alternate years.
Speaking of lilacs reminds me to
say, that do not indorse what some
people say about this plant being q
nuisance because of its habit of send
ing up so many suckers from its
roots.
That it is prolific in this respect
admit, but there is no good reason for
allowing them to grow until you have
thicket of bushes. Give your hoe
blade the sharpness of a knife by filing
it to a keen edge, and go over the
ground about your lilacs at the sprout
ing season, and shave off every sprout
that shows its head above the grass
You can do this Just as easily and rap
idly as you can cut OF SO many weeds
and by doing it you can keep your
lilacs from spreading all over the
yard.
These bushes are nuisances only
when allowed to have their own way
Give them the attention they neet
and they are easily kept under con
troll. The secret of success consists
in not letting them get the start o
you.

Third Kentucky Confederate infantry

the field of battle. When he got into

found a chaotic condition. The gold
fever was at its height and bands of
outlaws and cutthroats infested the
land.
The first transcontinental railroad

when 1t was completed a few years
later thousands of rough characters
found themselves out of work and
ready for any venture that promised

IN THE HOME GROUNDS
By EeEN e. RExFoRD.

0y E0GN e. nEAFOn0s
This month will be busy one for
the gardener. There will be plants to
put out, weeds to pull, insects to kill
quite enough to keep one at work
most of the time.
do my transplanting on cloudy
days, If possible, but if the weather
persists in being sunshiny, do the
work after shutdown. Before lifting a
seeding, apply enough water to
thoroughly saturate the soil in which
it 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 it's tender, delicate
roots to be exposed to air for ever so
little time and you run a serious
risk Of losing your plant.
If this does not happen. it will re-
ceive check from which it will take
a long time to recover.
One cannot be too careful with any
thing as delicate as Seeding plant.
In bright weather newly transplanted
seedlings will require shading for a
day or two. l cut out circle of
coarse brown paper, about foot
across, make slit to the center on
one side of it, and fold the paper over
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 support for the
little brown paper umbrella.
1t should be at least twelve inches
long-long enough to insert in the
ground close to the Seeding, and hold
the paper cone we'll above the plant 1t
Is designed to protect. This kind of
a covering keeps the sun away from
the plant, but does not interfere with
free circulation Of air about 1t.
What kind Of support are you 60
ing to give your gladioli? Tying their
stalks to sticks gives them such stiff
and prim appearance that always
feel sorry for the poor plants. A stick
in the center of clump does not
furnish a really satisfactory support
to the stalks on the outside of it, and
a hoop supported on sticks is open te
the objection of being only a little
better than nothing.
Here is my plan-and one thai
works we'll, and can be easily carried
out. l take a strip of coarse mest
wire netting of the size of the bee

DIAGNOSED HIS OWN CASE

Well az GalIstones.

Baltimore.-A series of delicate op.
erations successfully performed few
days ago at Johns Hopkins hospital
upon DR.. Thomas s. Cullen, the noted
surgeon, demonstrated that complete
diagnosis he had made of his condi-
ton while lying on the operating table
was exactly correct.
DR.. j. M. T. Fnney had charge Of
tue operation, which started out to be
for gallstones. In the few minutes Of
waiting the two men discussed the op.
Grafton. Then it was that Doctor Cul.
len made the diagnosis.
He said he felt sure that there was
something else wrong with him be-
sides gallstones and that something
else was an incipient case of appendi-
citis. He said that before the opera
ton was over and himself out of the
ether that he would be minus his ap.
pendix. After most Of the gallstones
were removed it was found necessary
to remove the appendix.
