GARDEN HINTS

Whenever possible procure peren-
nials-they are the most satisfactory
class of plants, and especialG adapted
to the farmers garden. During this
month, If possible, procure seeds that
have just ripened, from Your friends,
and plant them at once Or maybe
you can find self-grown seedlings
about the base OF the early blooming
sort.
Keep on hand good supply of in
secticides. Bordeaux mixture as used
in the orchard is good to destroy mil
dew and rust in the flower garden. To-
bacco water will kill aphides which
infest chrysanthemums and golden
glow
Cut the rhubarb blooms as soon as
they appear. They weaken the plant
Treasure the weekly wash water
and apply to the roots Of the flowers:
it will enhance the beauty Of the rose.
If slugs bother the roses sift ashes
on the bushes when they are wet with
dew or rain. See that the ashes reach
the under side Of the leaves.
Sow the seeds of annuals-phlox
candy-tuft, poppy and the like-for .

BEAUTY OF HOME YARD
BY H. Il. SHEPARD.

The immediate grounds about the
home can be made beautiful, and an
effort should be made in that direction.
The home grounds should be ample. as
large as is consistent with the size
Of the dwelling.
An acre is not too much. Some
think that an acre of land is too much
to waste on a simple door yard. but
the better the home grounds the bet
ter will be- the life Of the family.
It is a wrong estimate of life and
property to be forever making money
to enlarge the farm in area. In buying
extra tracts Of land for future use, and
not improve and make the best of the
ground where the wife and children
spend nearly ali OF the best or their
life.
Some look forward and prepare too
not expend any means on making the
present the very best that it can be.
They let the home grounds and sur
roundings remain shabby and unim
proved, spending the extra money on
property to be handed down to the
children or putting it in the bank
This is wrong when there is any
neglect in home improvement. If the
children need help. by all means, they
need it now while they are helpless
more than when they grow up and
will be able to fully care for them
hnt han N
ever shall be able to care for them.
They need the comforts. healthful-
ness, and identifying influences Of
good homes and surroundings in or
der to make them healthy, strong,
beautiful and good. These are in
finitely better than inherited real es-
tate. personal property, or money.
The child whose home life is per-
feet for physical and mental develop
ment will go out into the world with a
rich heritage.
The grounds around the home
should be well drained and graded to
suit the location. The main open
part of the space should be lawn of
good grass and be kept moved low at
all times SO that the air and sunlight
may purify the soil.
Abundance of flowers, shrubs and
trees are essentials for completing the
picture. but flowers and shrubs must
be massed in clun.ps and borders
along the sides and the trees must
be grouped in one place, somewhat re-
moved from one side of the dwelling.
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1915-09-09

Pergolas add much to the beauty OF
the home grounds.
Under the tree in the cool shady
part Of the grounds children's play
house or rustic. open structure is .
good place for play and rest for both
young and old.
We can never get too much of the
open air, even though we live in the
country; and such covered place un-
der the trees makes a fine nook in
which to read or take nap and fully
enjoy the sweets of outdoor life.
For wet weather concrete walks ara
economical. They are cheaply and
easily made. They need not necessa-
rily be wide. but there should be
enough of them so that all the out
buildings and other much frequented
spots can be reached without walking
on the wet ground.
The grounds about the barn and
other stock buildings should be as neat
and clean as the home grounds proper.
This Is both good farm management
and a mark OF good taste and charac-
ter on the part OF the farmer
Good fences around all the home
grounds and lots are necessary con-
venience, and keeping them in good
repair adds to the neatness and beauty
of the picture as whole.

The Man journeyed again over land
and sea. He went into crowded places
and again upon the mountain top, but
he did not find any flower whose per.
fume was strange to him. He became
weary and footsore in his search, and
finally made up his miEd that no such
plant as that which The Artist had
mentioned existed. Once or twice he
stumbled upon lurid blossoms which
were unfamiliar, but when he exam
ined them he found that they sprans
from the very weeds of which he had
worked SO hard to keep his garden
clear for 10. these many years.
Il will 60 home, and will not tend
the garden any more" he told himself,
for could never be satisfied now un.
less I gain for 1t the perfume which
The Artist says is the sweetest and
rarest in the world"
Heart-weary and discouraged. The
Man returned. He arrived in the
night Before the sun rose he went
out into the garden to take a last look
at all the beautiful things he had
planted there and tended through
many years. He stood in their midst
and told them that he had come to say
good-by to them. He told them that
they were good to look upon; that
they had satisfied him for many a
year, but that he had now come to the
crossroads where he needed a flower
that did not grow in his garden, and
without which the garden was of no
avail. And even while he talked the
rare and beautiful flowers about him
began to lift their wonderful heads,
for the east had confessed q flush,
and one by one (quite ignoring The
MANI they raised their radiant faces
for the first kiss of the morning sun.
The Man watched them in amaze
ment He had come forth to tell
them good-by forever. and one and all
they had been Clothed upon" with a
new loneliness. new radiance, inhal-
ing, as 1t were. the spirit Of the new
born day
As The Man stood thus in the midst
Of his garden he was suddenly con
scious of new perfume. Over and
above all the others it rose, clinging
like fine, sweet mist over the garden
The Man had made. 1t penetrated his
entire being, suffusing him with great
Joy.
When he lifted his eyes, The Man
saw that the small vine which he had
often noticed clinging to the outside
wall of his Garden of Life had borne
iower-a single blossom, whose pet
ais radiated the myriad lights OF
mother-of-pearl as it glistened in the
morning sun-and he did not need to
be told that the name of the flower
was Love, nor that it was the same
that he had sought over the length
and breadth of the land, although he
has never ceased to marvel that IL
blossomed there, within the reach OF
his very hands. upon a vine which he
had frankly despised and often been
tempted to cut down
