One Of Interest to Our Reader

Good news bears repeating, and
when it is confirmed after long
lapse of time, even if we hesitated
to believe it at first hearing, we
feel secure in accepting its truth
now. The following experience of
a Breckenridge woman is confirm
ed after three years:
Mrs. Minnie Lotzer, tt8 N. Sew
enth ST., Breckenridge. Mimi, says
1--WE used Doan's Kidney Pills i'll
our family for kidney trouble and
they worked wonders. All the 9TH
er kidney medicines we had pre-
viously used had done no good.
Doan's Kidney Pills went to the
root Of the trouble at once and in
a short time, the one who used
them was we'll and has not had
any trouble since.
OVER THREE YEARS LATER,
Mrs. Lotzer said: Il have taken
Doan's Kidney Pills myself for
lame back and kidney weakness
and they have Gone me a great
deal of good"
Price soc at all callers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mrs. Lotzer has twice recon-
menced. Foster Milburn Co.,

Prune early-flowering shrubs
Just after towering.
Plant sweet peas, radishes, let
tuce, beets carrots, swisschard.
etc, in the open ground.
Plant a few gladiolus bulbs now
ana at intervals up to June list.
Keep an eye on the hot-beds and
cold frames. Too much heat is
injurious.
DECREASING makes a good side
line for fruit or vegetable grow
er.
Annual flower seeds such as
marigolds, bachelors buttons. zin
mas and petunias, may be sown
now.
Leave the straw taken from
the strawberry bed near to throw
back on the plants, if there should
be a frost.
What was the first tree, shrub
or herbaceous plant to bloom in
your neighborllod this year? Get
one.
Grapes should be uncovered as
soon as their buds begin to start.
Keep them cover as long as pos
sible.
Shrubs and trees with a fibrous
root system are the best for trans
planting. A large number OF
small roots is better than a few
large ones.
Has the lawn been raked clean
holes filled up and all made ready
for the mower? Start the mower
early.
Eversreens may be set out now
IL the new growth has started
very much. DO not let the roots
be exposed to the wind or air even
+! one minute.
leguminous crops. such as the
'clover> and alfalfa, make good pro
parat"ry crops for the vegetable
garden where barnyard manure
i is hard to get. They leave nitro
gen in the soil as we'll as humus.
More Strawberries are being set
out this spring than ever before.
Have you IA patch set? 1t is not
! to late I" plant few of some au-
tum-bearing sort.
! Get a few early celery plants
and set them i'm the garden. 1t is
we'll to put them ON low ground
'lf he weather is dry. One humid
red plants will do.
+ Protect the birds. Give them
houses and shrubbery and they
will work for you and give you
entertainment. Place a pan of
water where they can drink and
battle.
Some of the local horticultural
socities in Canada plant and core
for flowers and shrubs in their
local parks. This scheme might
be copied in some Of our towns.
Don't neglect patching that old
lawn any longer. Spade up the
soil. Put some manure and lit
tie lime into ii and SOW some Ken
lucky blue grass, white clover and
Red Top. 1t must be done righ1
away.

Pansies may be set out now in
the border.
Sow late cabbage seed for trans
planting between now and May 20.
1t is not too late to set out a
hood asparagus bed. Do it now.
Onions sets are ready to harvest
from three to four weeks earlier
than onions from seed.
Tender plants should not be set
out until about May 25th or May
3Oth on account of late frosts.
Annual plants and vines will
quickly cover an unsigIltly fence

Is there good vegetable and
flower garden under way! Both
are good to have and it is not too
late to sart right now.
Plant dahlia roots about May Is
Nothing is to be gained by early

Ferns make a good foundation
plant on the north or east side

Sunday, May iith, is Mohtre's
Day. This is a good time to send
her few flowers, or to wear a
flower in her memory.
It is sometimes good plan to
with other varities in order to be
sure of good pollintion.
1t will soon be lilac time again.
There are some fifteen or twenty
hybrid lilacs that are we'll worth
planting.
Sow nasturtium seed now. They
are among the best of plants for
cut flowers, growing best on rath-
or light. sandy soil If the soil
is too rich, there will be a rank
growth of foliage instead of
flowers.
One essential in setting out a
plant, tree or shrub is to see that
the soil is fined we'll about the
tips Of the roots. Don't firm the
top soil. It must be left loose.
Be careful that no roots come in
close contact with fresh manure.

STRAWBERRY PESTS ARE &C
TIVE NOW

The strawberry weevils are ac-
tive now. The pests began COM
ing out of their winter-long hib-
ernation nearly two weeks ago at
University Farm, st. Paul.
A shortage in the number Of
blossoms is the first indication Of
the work Of the strawberry weevil.
1t cuts off the buds of the plant,
after depositing eggs in them. The
pest is about One-tenth of an inch
long, and because it is so hard
to see. the effects of its ravages
are unusually attributed to hail,
frost Of climatic conditions. in
the Hopkins region, it is not un-
common to find beds with 40 to
80 per cent Of the buds cut off,
says $. Marcovitch of the division
of economic zoology at Universe
ty Farm.
Since the weevils do not scatter
readily, Information within the
field, the one-crop system and
blowing the beds Immediately af-
ter picking would probably do a.
way with the pests entirely, MT.
Marcovitch says. The one-crop
scheme could be followed for "a
bout two years, when it might be
advisable to return to the two
year crop system if the weevils
have disappeared.
Recent experiments with dust
spray of mixture of arsenate of
lead and sulphur in equal quaint
tiles by weight have been sue
cessful in New Jersey. The MKT
ure was applied twice, April 80
and May 6, as a repellant.
Another method that Mr.. Mar
covitch thinks might be practic-
able is to remove the straw from
rows to hasten their maturity,
leaving the rest of the beds cover
ed. This would attract the pests
from the other rows to the un-
covered ones, so they could be
destroyed by blowing under OF by
burning over the rows.
