Train the Children
The children of the United
States must be trained to visit
and to patronize markets as are
the children of Latin-Ameriea.
American children are trained
to telephone the butcher, to have
the groceries charged" and to
order the store to deliver the
shoes. But the Cuban child is
taught to visit the market and to
select personally the meat for
dinner; he then pays each and
brings 1t home in his basket.

IL you want good roses, neat
bushes, and healthy plants, start
working with them now.
Indications for continued mild
weather make pruning possible.
and advise rose growers to start
their pruning at once. Start on
the more hardy bushes and the
climbers (because they are more
protected) and save your delicate
roses and teas for the last.
Spraying also should be done
Immediately. The average spray,
unless It'll purchased ready
mixed, is too strong for tender
sprouts. Therefore, the spraying
should be done before the sprouts
have started extensively.

The aim. however, of these
chapters on soil, seeding, fertili-
zation and wedding is not to be
scientific, exhaustive, minute, but
to tell all the important things
a backyard gardener would want
to know-all he'll absolutely need
to have a reasonably good gar
den.
Let's begin with the soil.
Spade deep, about a foot. Don't
spade when the soil is so wet that
a handful of it will not drop apart
when jolted.
Break the Jumps
Before spading your plot spread
manure or a commercial fertilizer
which you have bought from the

time the growing roots reach it.
II the manure is we'll rotted, mix
1T we'll with the soil in spading
and raking.
After spading you will find that
much of the turned-over soil is
lumpy underneath. Take the
greatest pains to break up those

work you put into your garden

you have not pulverized the soil

II your soil is sandy get plenty
of straw manure into it to give

If your soil is heavy clay get
plenty of straw manure into it
because straw will keep 1t loose
and prevent it from hardening
around the roots during the hot
days. Nearly all city garden soil
needs lime. For 10 or 20 ccsts
you can buy washboiler full of

bles and other products of the
island. But you must not think
that the markets of~these cities
are limited to the sale of garden
and farm products.
Deliver On Horse Back.
Every city in the West Indies
has some peculiar industry of it's
own-one city may make hats;
another city may make beads and
another baskets.
All these products can be found
in the central market-as well as
general merchandise.
For instance, | wanted to get
some shoe strings and envelopes
today. Did ] go to a big store?
No, went to the public market
and there found just what | want

Men who cannot get space at
the public market to sell their
goods, go about the streets with
push carts or on horse back.

baker, on horse back also, with a
great basket of bread on each side

To Cut Old II. c. i.
Even butchers travel about on
horseback - although they give
one the impression of a horse and
rider which has been run into by
locomotive!
This morning I even saw
man riding with three live
pigs hanging from one side
of his saddle and a string of
live chickens dangling from
the other side!
But some reader is probably
asking-do you want such men
riding up and down our streets in
the United States?
My reply is-"Yes, il we are to
really reduce the cost of living. -
1t is not what either the farmer
or manufacturer receives which
makes our groceries and dry
goods cost so much. For instance,
apples which sell for $3.50 a
barrel are retailed by the grocer
for several times this price.
Cloth which sells for six cents a
yard at the mill, is marked 40
cents yard at the store.

ROSE PLANTING
EENER OVER STATE

AZ no time has there ever been
such wide spread enthusiasm over
the state and Pacific Coast as at
present In the matter of Rose
Bush planting. Each commun-
ity seems to vie with the other as
to which shall do the handsomest
thing in Rose planting. One
cause OF this epidemic Is on ac-
count of Exposition year. each
town and city being bent upon
presenting an attractive appear
ance to visitors. Furthermore, II
Is coming home to the people
that ose planting In the state
has scarcely begun.---that We can
and should have millions more of
good roses; the world visiting us
or going to visit us looks to us
for this accomplishment. More
intelligent planting: the planting
of more good varieties is here.
Not only the home but the high
ways and by-ways should be
adorned with roses; we no longer
have mud paths and trails. but
instead highways worthy the
name; the people Of today refuse
to stick In corner at home OF a
Sunday and brood over their
troubles; the getting away from
Il" and over beautiful highways
makes for better men and women
and gives a buoyance and opti-
mism for carrying on our duties
for the week; we are swift
people. we must have relaxation
or perish early In the game: the
more beautiful our paths of travel
the greater the relaxation--all of
which begets love for our fellow
man and lubricates the way for
the better things of life. This
rose planting fever il being ma
terially augmented by the Califor-
MIA Rose Co., of Pomona, Tacoma

conducting special low priced

and thus allowing the people to
see just what they are buying.
This is the pioneer Rose growing
concern of the Coast; their bust
ness is roses exclusively and II is
said they produce and market
more field stock of ever-bloom-
ing varieties than any concern In
the United States, and II is con
coded that they are the only house
doing a general shipping In
large way over the United States.
The growing of roses for the peo-
pie was started by this concern
about seventeen years ago near
Los Angeles and the management
states that they now produce a
million roses yearly.

With Christmas cheer the hall is bright.

And winter sends for their delight

And paler than the glistening snow

Chance conner to our festal ewes,
Dear crimson breasted holly sprite!
Thee. Robin, too, the hall receives,
Unbidden, whom our hearts invite.
And. perched among the crumply leaves,
He cocks his head and sings "TIullo!''
The mistletoe, the mistletoe
Hangs up above, but what's below?
Oh. what's below the mistletoe?
The mistletoe, the mistletoe!
A kindly custom sanctions bliss
That's taen beneath the wanton bough.
Who laughs so low? Why, here II is!
Look, Jenny, where l have you now!
Dear bashful eyes, sweet lips-a kiss!
All, cheeks can mock the hollys glow!
