soft air and gentle rainfall. but there

Summer had its golden haze. but also

but sometimes it killed.

In memory Of

King of Benefactors
Through whose son, Peter Winchester
Rouss
This Hospital was made Possible.
In memory of
WILLIAM W. ROU3S
Our First President
To Whose Generosity the Erection Of
This Institution is Largely Due,
After an introduction by Mr.. Johr
B Brazier, Of the Board of Directors,
Miss Agnes Wysong drew the cord
from the flags with which the memoir
ial tablets were dtaped. and an excel
lently conceived address was delivered
by Rev. F. A. Tyler, lately q patient
of the Hospital.
Mr.. Tyler dwelt on the services to
mankind of the two brothers to whose
generosity and that of their families,
the existence of the Hospital is most
largely due, Mr.. Peter Winchester
Rouss having been especially generous
in his contributions to this splendid
cause.
The tablet to Charles Broadway
Rouss was draped with the "Stars and
Bars" the flag he loved SO well and
under which he fought SO gallantly for
the defense of the South.
The rendering of "Abou Ben Adhem"
was fitting close of these interesting
and impressive ceremonies, conducted
as they were in close proximity to
many i'll and suffering ones, benefting
by the equipment of an institution
which but for the whole souled gener-
osity of those who have in deed as well
as by word shown that they. Flowed
their fellow men, would not have been
made possible.

KEEPING THE SOIL WELL FED
Addition of Phosphorus or Potassium
or a Combination of Both May
Be Found Necessary.

Good use of manure and some
clover and clover sod plowed under in
a short rotation may not give the full
est results desired, even though good
deep seeded is made and the best of
the seed is planted. Manure and green
clover ploWed under may not prove
balanced ration to permit the soil to
produce maximum crops. Here soil
science should be brought into use to
determine what can be used for best
results to balance up the manure and
clover if the soil seems to fail to sup
ply all the necessary elements. An
addition of phosphorus or potassium,
or a combination of both these ele-
ments in the form of phosphate and
potash fertilizers may be necessary.
The heavier soils usually contain a
large amount of potassium and hence
it is seldom required as a fertilizer.
So long as these soils are well sup
piled with active organic matter this
element will become available to meet
crop needs In some cases, however,
some potash fertilizer may prove a
profitable investment. Marsh soils, as
a rule, require potash fertilizers.

MAKING MOST OF THE IRIS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Iris of all plants is most Indifferent
to it's surroundings, soil and environ
ment. With satisfactory attention it
gives wonderful results.
For German Iris, plant the roots
deeply; but the bulb should be COW
cred very lightly unless planting late
in the fall or very early in the spring,
when they should be planted about two
inches below the soil level. At other
times just barely cover them.
When hoeing in the summer it is
we'll not to draw much soil to them, as
it is liable to rot them at certain times
when they are more subject to this
decay than others, when covered deep
" with soil; and doubly so after they
become larger.
All the culture they need is to have
the soil kept free of weeds and hoed
very lightly or raked just so the crust
is broken or kept loose.
About November 1, before freezing
begins, give them a good hoeing and
light dressing of manure after the hoe
ing. Plant or divide at any time.
A few very good sorts are floren-
tina, early white; innocenza, late
white; celeste, rich sky blue; pallida
delmatica, rich lavender; fairy, pearly
white; favescens, rich canary; hon
orabilis, rich falls, yellow chocolate
brown; gypsy queen, smoky bronze
falls deep chocolate; sappho, deep vel
yety purple; all very free.

EXERCISE FOR LITTLE PIGS
Give Them an ArnfuI of Corn Husks'
or Leaves to Root In-HaVe Sep
arate Trough for Feeding.

sometimes little pigs, when penneu
up too closely, show signs of getting
too fat. By giving them little more
room in which to run they will begin
taking enough exercise to drive away
this fatty puffiness. If given an arm
load of corn husks or leaves they will
root around in these and get quite
good deal of exercise. 1t is all right
for the pigs to have that chubby look
that shows they are we'll nourished.
but they can get too puffy and fat.
AS to the feeding, that will begin to
take care of itself as soon as the little
fellows begin trying to eat with the
should be fed some ground oats and
corn. Better use a screen in prepar-
ing this food, so that the bulls can be
taken out Any sort of a screen that
will take out the hulls after grinding
will do for this.
1t is better to have a separate trough
and feeding place for the pigs than it
is to let them run chances of being
trampled underfoot or crushed when
fed along with the brood sows. By
feeding in separate pen in a smaller
trough their rations will not be stolen
by the older hogs. The pen can be ar
ranged near the regular feeding place
and furnished with an opening big
enough to let the pigs come in and
small enough to keep the full grown
and half grown animals outside.
