GARDEN QUERIES ANSWERED
Golden Bantam Corn


Friend John Bartram-Thee mentioned
| Golden Bantam corn in an article of late.
as something extremely desirable for the
small houSeholderS table. Please explain
thees allusion. GARRETTFORD.
Golden Bantam, as the name implies is
a small and yellow corn. It is consider
| ably dwarfer than the average early corn.
Size and color do not commend 1t to the
market gardener. since many housewives
will not buy n yellow corn, and all of
them like n bulky ear. It's chief asset is
its surprisingly delicious flavor. But it's
extremely early season, vigor of growth
and easy culture make II ideal for family
gardens. 1t can be planted more closely
than other cornS The stalks grow 4 feet
high and bear two to three ears, about
inches long, having eight rows, with about
30 kernels to n row They are as sweet
as the honey which they resemble in
color. a half pint of seed, at 20 cents.
will keep a family of six in early corn
and the remainder can be planted in late
summer for Il fail crop.
New Type of Pansies
Friend John Bartram-I read in flori-
cultural journal II year or so ago of new
| kind of pansy which is notable for it's
delicate shades | do not find il listed in
any of the seed catalogues which I have
and so appeal to you. Also how much do
they cost? f. NJ. 5.
Undoubtedly you are referring to what
are listed by some seedsmen. who special
ize in flowers. as orchid-fowered pansies.
II is distinct, much improved and lovely
strain. They are not notable for size,
hut for soft pastel colorings. I'm chamois.
terra Gotta, rose pink lilac and blue, and
for hardness and Righteousness They
bloom freely from early spring we'll nigh
TO frost. a packet of about 100 seeds
costs 10 cents.
POppies in the House
Friend John Bartram-Is 1t too early
TO plant poppy seed in the house in boxes
for later transplanting? DOROTHY.
Never plant poppes. either the common
variety or the Eschcholtzia California
Variety in boxes. The roots are very
fleshy and brittle and the plants rarely
stand transpanting. Plant in the open
border or bed when the weather becomes
settled. Thin out the plants, as tiny seeds
produce more plants than the location can
we'll support.
Fertilizers
Friend John Bartram-Kindly tell me
the best ail-rOund fertilizer, | see con-
hict'uE claims as TO the benefits of COM
mercial products and stable manure.
C. ". N
Wel-rotted garden compost is by all
odds the best all-round fertilizer. II should
and crumbly When purchasing be sure
that il is largely manure and not bulked
out with stable sweepings partly rotted.
Some stablemen use sawdust or shaw
ings for litter and sweep these all to-
gether. Such manure is not so nutritious
as that in which hay or straw has been
used as stabltng. But this. too requires

SWlFTWATER BILLS CLEARY GREEK GROUND
 NOW BEING WORKED

FAIRBANKS.-It is reported that Morrison & Johnson, drifting on num- Der below, Cleary, struck pay on the claim which w. c. "Swiftwater Bill" Gates made fortune. They have struck six feet of gravel that will run in the neighborhood of $500 to the square foot of bedrock.
 Gates Is a we'll known character of the north, for he made his reputation in the early days of Dawson where he was one of the first to get back to Seattle with fortune from the Klol.- dike. In the states he became fam ous as the much married man where he was close rival to Nat Good win. the actor.
 Gates came to Fairbanks in the early days after the many wives had taken away most of his Kloadike gold. It was then that he made the strike on Cleary. The amount that he took out has never been certainly ascer- tained. but 1t was close to the milli on mark according to some old timers. and at least two or three hundred

We are both surprised and gratified by

preparation has given satisfaction to
hundreds OF Utica people. and are very
gratifed at the enormous sale of Tan

VIM. sautter & Co. Albany. y. Y:
The enormous sale Of Tsnlsc has been
a surprise. We thought the first ship
ment would last US three months, but
after Il days. our stock was so low that
We were anxious about the arrival of the
second shipment. fearing our supply
would be exhausted. The most pleasing
result is the number Of people that have
purchased and discovered Tsnlac's e&-
cellent reconstructive qualities"
The Taylor-Issscs Drug Company,
Louisville, KY: Judging from the re-
peat sales and expressions OF satisfaction
from those who have taken Tanlac, 1t
must be in a class apart from the usual
run of proprietary medicines"
Clarkson, The Druggist, Springfield,
Ill: ''Tanlac has certainly proven a
winner. The demand has been large
from the start. Expressions OF satisfac-
ton from those who use it are crafty
ing"
Buntin Drug Company, Terre-Haute.

have ever handled in the proprietary

my nervousness and stomach trouble,
but has given me wonderful appetite

PLANTATION OF Tanlac's triumph is Tanlac's
merit Only true worth could gain and
sustain the reputation which Tanlac
won from the very first day the first

Such enormous sales mean but one

truthfully. thoroughly and efficiently.
But, advertising alone would not produce
Tanlac's popularity.
Back of TanlaG's triumphs in the drug
store stand Tanlacs triumphs in the
home. 1t is what the neighbors say
about Tanlac that counts. Advertising
may sell one bottle. but the person who
gets and uses that bottle is the person
that sells a dozen bottles.
"one person benefited by Tanlac may
tell score or even hundred people
about the medicine that helped him
People relieved from distressing and dan
gerous illness by Tanlac just cannot keep
their experience with Tanlac to them
selves-they talk about It to every friend
and acquaintance and stranger.
People talk about Tanlac because Tan
lac gives them something worth talking
a about-better digestion. more strength,
more energy and ambition. more lasting
health.
That explains Tanlac's triumphs in
