BEAUTY OF THE.HYDRANGEA
BY 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 forifer-
BUSINESS, late blooming and persistent.
It's 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 background
of pure white.
In planting the Hydrangea 1 would
never advise using it singly. 1t is
vastly more effective when grouped.
By this means we secure for it
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

CARE is NECESSARY
WHEN DISINFECTING
BichIoride of Mercury Is Powerful
Corrosive Poison-AppIy
With Spray Pump.

Cresol, carbolic acid, and other coal.
tar products used as disinfectants
have a disagreeable odor, which may
readily be absorbed by milk and other
dairy products. 1t is, therefore, some
times lnadvisable to use them, and in
such cases bichloride of mercury may
be substituted. This should be used
in the proportion of 1 to 800, or 1
pound of bichloride to 100 gallons of
water.
Where bichloride is used, however,
all portions of the stable which have
become soiled with manure should
first be thoroughly scraped and
cleaned, as the albumin contained in
manure greatly diminishes the disin-
fecting power of the mercury.
Bichloride of mercury is also pow
erful corrosive poison, and it's use
should always be supervised by a
veterinarian or some other person ex-
perienced in the handling of poison
Gus drugs. The bichloride solution
should be applied with spray pump
like the cresol solution. All managers
and feed boxes which have been
sprayed should be allowed to dry and
then be washed out with hot water.
Care in this respect is important, for
cattle are especially susceptible to
mercurial poisoning.
