In the current issue Of Farm and

tor tells as follows how to prepare in

81 have taken pains to bring my
new method Of growing choicest, sweet

progressive gardeners. Yet it is onlv
now and then that I find this method
in practice. Most gardeners still stick
to the expensive, clumsy method Of
planting sets, either in fall or more
often in spring.

HOW TO BE SAFE FROM LIGHT
MING

In the August Woman's Home Com
panion, Rollin Lynde HART writes an
Intensely interesting page entitled
"Let's Talk About ::e Weather" He
tells what the signs of rain are, and he
also describes some of the phenomena
of thunder and lightning. He says
that lightning hits cows oftener than
people, barns oftener than houses,
country dwellings oftener than city
dwellings,, trees at the edge OF wood
oftener than those in the thick of 1t,
oaks oftener than NAPLES, and human
beings outdoors oftener than human
beings indoors.
lie then gives the following advice
as to what to do in case Of llghtnlng:
run for house-not barn. ....
Once inside a house, stay there. BY
actual count, it is fourteen times as
safe as outdoors.
s'Outdoors, it is another tale, for
there you may be crazy enough to seek
shelter under trees. Don misunder-
stand me when L tell which trees are
most dangerous-all are dangerous,
none safe-and my only object is to
drop hint to people who are about to
pitch tent in the woods and who, con
sequentlv, risk being caught out at
night and unable to run for their lives
With the proportion of hits ind'cated
the list follows:
"Oaks, "a; poplars, "a; elms. IA;
walnuts, II; frs, 10; willows, !; pines

company with his cousin, the Duke Of
Holstein. and a few other gentlemen
Of the court On the way they came
upon a pile of timber standing by the
roadside. The Duke Of Holstein sug-

try their skill by riding over tho pile
on their horses. Charles assented and
insisted upon being the first to go over.
But just as he was about to dig his
spurs into his horse, tells Das Buch fur
allie, Count Wachtmeister seized the
bride and said to the king. Don't you
try to ride over that"
The Duke Of Holstein became angry.
"How dare you cross the wish Of the
king!" he exclaimed
Calmly Wachtmeister answered, Say
what you will. my king shall not do it -
Holstein then refined up to him and
replied wrathfully, You do not seem
to know with whom you are speaking: ="
"Oh, yes" said the other, laughing
