Departed

M A. Bird, one of the oldest
and best known citizens of this
county, was the victim IF fatal
accident, Saturday, Decent Der
10th.
Mr. Bird had been in Dodge
City on business and was on his
way home. About-six miles east
of Montezuma, something hap
pened, but just what, will never
be known, as he was alone in
the car, a Ford, at the time.
Two theories have been ad-
vanced. One is that he had
a stroke of appop'exy, and that
the car did not leave the road
until life was extinct.
The other, and the more plaus-
a BILE is that he lost control of It,
and was caught beneath it when
it turned turtle.
The deceased was born in
Sullivan County Missouri, May
80, 1878. Came TO Kansas in
1854 an with his parents locat.
ed IN Gray county. Later he
proved up a claim in Meade
county. On January 29, 1905

In the spring hydrangeas should
have some branches cut out at the
bottom to give them more compact
and sturdy look. They should occupy

protected from the cold winds OF au'

throw up shoots that will produce large

HAVE A FLOWER FARM
BY e. VAN eENTHUYsEN.

The demand for choice flowers never
fails and the big cities of the United
States sell enormous quantities. They
must be fine though.
The city man who wishes flowers for
q special decoration does not care how
much they cost II they are the best
that can be grown.
Flower farming Is an agreeable oc-
cupation. But little help is required.
The costly adjuncts, such as curing.
drying. housing and storing are not
required. Plants increase in value,
and once . place Is going 1t continues
to increase in productive ability with
each year.
Flower farming does not require rich
soil, but 1t must be quick and respon-
sive. Some of the requirements for
success, however. demand that your
farm be located near a railway station
and should have the convenience of q
telephone, fee or . cold spring, and a
good road to town.
Start in q small way. Be content to
buy from 100 to 500 plants each year
until your plants get old enough to d.
vide and build your stock from. By
starting in small way you will ac-
quire the necessary experience to cope
with the situation and understand the
workings on q larger scale. No book
knowledge can compare with . years
actual experience.
There are many plants that increase
prodigiously. Others take several
years to be strong productive plants.
The hydrangea will pay for itself in
. single year. The peony takes longer
to arrive at perfection.
II planted in the fall the peony will
bloom the first season, but young
plants are apt to be too quick in get
ting out in the spring and the buds
may be injured by late frosts. One
thousand bushes three years old will
produce 10000 flowers.
The dahlia is good flower to grow.
It can be planted June 1, come into
bloom about August Is. and will be in
full bloom by September It is free,
easy early bloomer, has bright colors,
long stems and good plump tubers.
The peony must not be overlooked
Its requirements are simple, yet at q
few periods they are very easily dam
aged.
Plants that are kept dormant by be-
ing dug in the fall may be planted until
June with fine success. When plant
ing peonies in clayey ground they
should be set about four inches deep.
but in light, sandy soil or loamy soil
i've or six inches deep.
Never use much manure the first
year on newly planted peonies, and
never overmanure them. Cultivate
them about three inches deep, then ap-
ply about one inch of manure and
work well into the soil in the spring.
Plant peonies in the bright sunshine
away from trees that are liable to
shade them or whose roots may sap
the plant food in the soil where they
are planted.
Peonies are grown from q division
Of old plants and also from seed. It
takes from five to eight years to come
into full bloom from seed.
To get the best results from phlox
they should be planted new each fall
or spring and given plenty of water
while in bloom.
