BEAUTY OF THE HYDRANGEA
Ely LIMA r. ROSE.

Inquiries have come in about good
fall Towering shrubs. 1t is likely if
a vote were taken for the best late
Towering, hardy shrub the honor
would fall to the Hydrangea.
While there are shrubs that / like
better, this one seems to suit the
masses. 1t has the merit of extreme
hardness, easy culture, great fiorifer-
BUSINESS, late blooming and persistent.
Its flowers lose their early white
ness as the season advances, but in
their pinky-brown stage they are not
without attractiveness, and even after
snow comes they afford pleasing eff
fects when seen against backgrou ID
of pure white.
In planting the Hydrangea l would
never advise using it singly. 1t is
vastly more effective when grouped.
By this means we secure for it a
strength and dignity which single
specimens never have.
The enormous heads of the bloom
have considerable weight, but they
are all the more attractive when they
cause the branches to take on a
graceful curve.

THE women are slightly smaller

larger native tribes, but generally are
not considered quarrelsome.
Most of the natives are fond of mu-
sic and dancing, and some of the
tribes possess very elaborate musical
instruments. These include antelope
horns and wooden horns covered with
animal skins and are used for cere-
monial and other dances"
The natives also use wooden and
iron clappers and iron rings upon their
ankles, which make an odd sound dur
ing the dance. Some of the dances
are the ceremonial, in which they
initiate the natives into the secret
societies, and the medicine man dance.

STUDY THE CATALOGUES
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

When looking over the catalogues
are often delighted into covetousness
by the description of shrubs, vines and
perennials, but the price asked al
though merely nominal, place the for
lists plants beyond our reach.
In that case, we nave but to give
little time and patience to sowing
seeds and caring for the delicate
plants in order to have our longings
gratified. The first thing to dc is to
send our order to a reliable firm. The
next is to give intelligent care to their
planting and growing.
Seeds of most Of the desirable or
namental vines, shrubs, biennials and
perennials terminate readily, while
others are slow in sprouting, but if
planted in good soil and allowed time
the reward is sure.
We should inform ourselves on these
subjects as much as possible before
undertaking the work.
During February and March is usu-
ally the time selected for getting our
window boxes in shape, and in these
boxes may be planted the seeds, to-
gether with many Dubious and tuber-
Gus rooted varieties of plants. The
seeds may be had in mixed packages
for ten cents each, or single.
Do not overlook the orchid when
planning next years flowers.
These seeds may be purchased by
one person, the plants raised to trans
planting size and sold for a few cents
each to others, thus covering cost of
seeds and care, or several may throw
in and divide the seeds when they
come.
The former plan may be the more
economical, as not everyone makes a
success of growing plants from seeds.
1t is not always we'll to buy your
seeds of your country merchant; your
merchant may be honest, but his mer-
chant may not be. Send to a reliable
| firm, send early and get what you pay
for. Do not confine yourself TO an
nuals, but SOW the perennial seeds
and after the first year you will have
| little trouble.
Nothing adds to the attractiveness
Of a home place more than thrifty
vines, and for most places, perennial
vines are best. For temporary screens
annual vines will do. Seeds should
be started indoors early and trans
planted frequently in order to make
the plants stalky. and as soon as the
ground gets warm they may be set out
where they are to remain.
Many of these will grow but little
at the top for the first year, but will
be making root growth and be getting
ready to make to progress afterwards
Some of the shrubs and perennials
and even the biennials may give g
scant bloom the first year, and some

SUCCESS IN PRODUCING PORK
Pasture Grasses and Forage Crops
Make Healthy, Vigorous Hogs
Some Grain Is Necessary.

Many now realize the fact that the
growing of pasture grasses and forage
crops that make healthy, vigorous
hogs OF good quality is the basic factor
in successful pork production. They
are raising hogs at big profit.
OF course those who are successful
realize the fact that certain amount
of grain feed is needed to grow hogs
with greater profit, but they use this
grain only as supplement to the
feeds harvested by the hogs in the
pastures and fields.

Pygmies Are Not Shy.
I'VE discovered the first pygmy at
Avakubi, and he was a prisoner on a
charge of having killed a man with
spear. Contrary to the general idea
the pygmies are not shy. They are
trifie suspicious, but after they make
your acquaintance they are not unlike
other tribes of native Africans.
THE pygmies live by hunting chief
iy and frequently bring in antelope
and other game to the villages, which
they are glad to exchange for food
They are quite expert in tracking
games and shoot everything with bow
ana arrow. On the track of big game
the chiefs, women and children all
join in the pursuit until the animal is
captured. Sometimes they will give
tip to other natives about the dis
coyery of game and then when the
hunters bag is filled they will demand
share of the trophy.
AT one time we arrived at a viii
iage of 200 pygmies and witnessed a
characteristic pygmy dance. The pyg-
mics dance in circle to the accom-
paniment of the beating Of gong, and
sometimes drum. During the dance
wine made from palms and the ba-
mana is consumed by the dancers"

He was in charge of the Congo expedi-
ti0n of the American Museum Of
Natural History. Altogether it is es-
timated that the members of the ex-
petition gathered more than 10000
large specimens for the museum and
the collections in the aggregate
weighed As tons.
When Mr.. Lang and his associate,
James P. Chaplin, arrived in Africa
they first established headquarters at
Stanleyville, with an equipment includ-
ing II tons Of supplies. which they
packed into loads of 60 pounds each

ing into the forest With the assist
ance of the Belgian government the
explorers secured 200 native porters
to carry their packs and started out
on the journey from Stanleyville to
Avakubi, which was accomplished in
about twenty-one days.
"Our chief difficulty" said Mr. Lang,
with reference to the equipment Of the
expedition, was caused by the ex-
IRENE humidity Of the forest, to which
our supplies to certain extent were
exposed. Whenever our expedition ar
rived at village in the Congo the
