WORK IN THE ROSE GARDEN
By HUGO ERIcHsEN.

By HUGO ERiCHSEN.
 Nothing can be said in praise of the rose that has not been said before. Universally recognized as the most beautiful flower, it is the one child of Flora around which wealth of sen- timent. history and poetry clusters.
 The beauty of the rose is so widely appreciated that the popularity it now enjoys and the demand for hardy gar den roses are annually increasing. No garden is complete without roses, and abundance, for never have roses been SC cheap and beautiful as now.
 Moreover, the cultivation of the flower is so simple that no excuse can be offered for it's neglect.
 The first requisite for success in rose growing is the selection of good, healthy plants. Weak, sickly roses are dear at any price. Many of these plants lack vigor because they are stunted by remaining too long in the cutting bed or in small pots before they are set out.
 In order to obtain the best results, therefore, it is advisable to restrict one's patronage to first-class nursery men only, firms that are prepared to furnish strong, wellrooted plants, such as will make a showing the first sea- son and develop into vigorous speci- mems.
 In selecting roses for the garden, it r. grown in two ways, that is to say, on their own roots or budded low on the Manetti brier rose that has largely superseded the dog-rose and other stocks in this country, as it is one of the most desirable for our country and climate.
 Experts are divided on the question as to which should receive the prefer ence, and the beginner is liable to be in a quandary, because growers are apt to argue for their own method of propagation.
 We find many varieties of roses grown on this stock (Manetti) adapt themselves to greater range of eli mate and soil, bloom more profusely, endure better the heat of the summer and make far stronger plants than if grown from their own roots.
 Many object to budded roses on ac- count of the suckers they sometimes throw out but if proper attention is paid to the planting this will rarely be an annoyance.
 Budded roses should be planted suf- ficiently deep, so that the junction of the bud with the stock is from two to
The Pulaskian., 1916-01-28

earth. If despite this precaution, a wild shoot should happen to start from the base, the growth and foliage of the stock are so distinct that it is readily recognized by the most inexperienced amateur and is easily removed.
 When the rose plants are received from the nurserymen they should be unpacked as soon as they come to hand. Thereupon the tops and roots should be we'll sprinkled with water, after which they should be covered with bagging and placed in shaded spot until ready to plant.
 If the ground is not prepared when the plants arrive 1t is advisable to put them in shallow trench and cover the roots with loose soil until the ground can be put into proper condition.
 The enrichment of the soil, how ever, should not only be made at the time of the preparation of the bed be- fore planting but in the spring of every year, for with such attention a bountiful supply of flowers may be ex- pected every season.
 When planting. spread the roots out carefully and do not cross them or crowd them. They should be placed we'll below the surface of the soil and arranged, as far as possible, in their natural position.
 Roses may be grown to perfection in ordinary garden soil, provided they are planted in a sunny, sheltered loca- tion, away from the roots of large trees, for these will absorb all the life- sustaining nutrition of the soil, where as young trees and dwarf shrubbery do no harm. If the soil is naturally poor, however, it is advisable to lay a substantial foundation for future good results.
 The question naturally presents it. self as to which is the best time to plant roses, but the broad extent of our country precludes definite reply. Generally speaking, however, mid spring should receive the preference, and it is better to be little early than too late; in a mild season, in- deed, planting may even be done in March.
 Dormant roses, in fact, should be planted as soon as the frost Is out of the ground and the soil can be worked. But it is advisable not to set out tea roses until the weather is thoroughly settled and they should, of course, only be planted in the spring.
 Unless a cold, wet or late spring prevails, pruning may be done in March or April. Old and decayed branches and unripened wood should be removed annually, leaving only the strong and we'll matured.

ROYAL ADMIRER OF AMERICA
Queen Sophia of Greece Invariably Employs Architects Trained in
 This Country.

Queen Sophia of Greece is a great and knows many of our finer places we'll, remarks the Saturday Evening Post. She takes regularly all our publications devoted to country life. and studies in detail our methods of landscape gardening, tree culture and floral display. She thinks we have the most cheerfully and brilliantly beautiful homes in the world-"bril- liantly cheerful was her phrase, in fact-and is trying to adapt Ameri- can ideas to the ornamentation of the royal residences not only in the country, but in Athens as well.
 Her majesty does us the honor to employ American architects on all the buildings in which she is personally interested, and an American has made the plan for the model Greek hospital which she hopes to build as soon as the funds accumulate. There are prac- tically no Greek nurses and no train ing school for nurses in Greece, and as it is part of her majesty's plan to have such a school in connection with the new hospital when it is built, she has dozen or more Greek girls in the United States now being trained at her personal expense in one or two of our hospitals and at school in Boston for teachers and supervisors positions.

Substitute Medicines.

The Pharmacological institute of Vienna is striving to find substitutes for some of the drugs and medicines
 of which there is now serious short age in Germany and Austria. It an nounces few of these in the Wiener Klinische Wochenschrift. Among these are: synthetic form of mor- phia, called papaverin; phenolophtha- lein and cascara, to take the place of castor oil, aloes, senna and jalap;
 bromine, to take the place of iodine as a skin disinfectant. Professor Unna says also that there is likely to be 8 shortage of glycerine and suggests that it's properties can be initiated by simple sirup or by four per cent cal. cium chloride or mixture of the two.

Just as Fond of Monkeys.

The number of famous literary men who are now serving in his majesty's forces is so great that the happy idea has been conceived of publishing book, the contributors to which are all celebrated authors who have be- come soldiers.
 Among the long list of names to be found in the volume, one of the best known is that of MT. A. E. w. Mason, the novelist.
 Formerly, MT. Mason was member of parliament, and he tells of man who wrote certain M P. asking for a ticket of admission to the gallery of the house of commons.
 The M. P. wrote back saying that he was very sorry that he could not send the ticket because the gallery was closed.
 The next day, he was astonished to receive from the stranger the follow ing note: AS the gallery Is closed, will you please send me six tickets for the zoo?'-Exchange

A Fool There Was

 You are acting foolishly, Tom" said Jim Holloran to his son. 'You know very well that the girls a waif and stray. If you marry her you'll come to regret it.
 She's as good as anyone else around here," answered Holloran in- dignantiy.
 His fathers opinion was, in a se- verer form, than the fisherfolks on Clark island. Seventeen years before a ship had gone to pieces on the rocks in the bay. When the lifeboat men clambered aboard they found a dying woman clutching puny infant to her breast The child was a girl; brought ashore, it grew into a comedy young woman. The kindly f1sherfolks who reared her christened her Helen Clark.
 That was as far as their imagina- tion could run. Helen and Tom, the son of her foster parents neighbor, had always been sweethearts. The young fisherman and the girl were en- gagged to be married soon.
 The idea was, not that the girl was unworthy of Tom, but that some day she would be claimed.
 In those days the attention of the nation had been absorbed by the Spanish war. The wreck had re- ceived but passing notice. There had

Largest Skating Rink.

The largest skating rink in Europe, measuring about 35,000 square yards, is at Davos, in the canton of the Gri- sons, Switzerland, where all the great international skating competitions take place. It is generally open from the third week in November until the middle of March, and the climatic con ditions prevailing at that altitude of 5,200 feet are sc excellent that it is indeed an exception when the rink has ever to be closed during this period. A considerable staff of men is em- ployed to maintain the rink in order. The ice is flooded every night, and is scraped and polished in the morning with almost the same care that glass workers bestow upon plate glass.

w. G. 7. II. Should Look
After Weiser Editor
(weiser Signal J

For the first time in the history OF the
county, so far as the older inhabitants
are able to state, a cyclone visited the
Weiser valley yesterday afternoon.
True it was miniature affair, but it
was real nevertheless The twister was
seen approaching the w. d. Patch ranch
southwest OF this city about 80 o'clock
yesterda- afternoon, comi-g out of the
bank OF black clouds further west.
When it reached the ranch it tore
through the COW barn and silo and left a
wreck Of th~ buildings.
Beyond the house a short distance a
Mr.. johnson was standing with his back
against large tree and the wind took
this tree a1d Mr.. johnson with it into
the air for several feet. The tree was
carried away. roots and all, for consid-
cradle distance. bat for some reason Mr..
johnson was carefully let back to the
ground without the slightest injury hav-
ing been done him
The house was missed entirely and
the haystacks were not even rutfied on
the top. Where the cyclone originated
and where it spent itself remains mys-
terry, but it Is thought that currents OF
hot and cold air caused the dis urbance,
II was extremely fortunate that not 8
single animal was injured The COW
barn was empty and the cattle were
some distance away in a neighborina
field. The damage is estimated at not
Hess than $1,000.
