TO GROW DAHLlAS

Plant them, II there is no danger
Of frost, outdoors about three feet
apart each way, not in too rich
ground; then when they commence to
grow get a good stick. a broom-handle
is good, and tie them up with either
cotton cloth or rafiia.
1t is best to raise them with single
stem; take half the branches off, SO
the air and light will circulate well
around the plants, as they take time
to make large plants.
Place some sticks over them and
attack a piece Of canvas sheet OF
blanket to protect them from the first
frost. The plants thus protected last
four weeks longer. and 1t pays for the
labor, because you get the finest flow.
ers and lots of them. The tuber gets
ripe better, too.
When the dahlias are killed by frost,
cut out the tops; do not dip them too
early; wait until the hard frost comes.
They can stand until November Is.
They also get more nourishment from
the ground. When you dig them be
careful not to bruise them. Let them
stay in the sun to dry, then put them
In their winter quarters; q cellar that
Is frost-proof is a good place. Cover
them with sand, but If your cellar has
concrete floors or is too cold, they
will get mildew and die. Put some
boards on the bottom.
One should SOW some dahlia seed !;
they grow much stronger than either
tubers or cuttings. and one is well
repaid. The seeds sown in early spring
will flower from the middle of July
until frost; those that do not suit can
be thrown away, and the best ones
can be kept over for another season.
II the season is a dry one some of
the plants in the garden will have to
be watered IL you want flowers from
them. This is especially true of the
dahlia.
Use enough water to penetrate all
the soil in which their roots grow. and
see that 1t is kept moist.
Watering today and neglecting for
q week to come isn't the proper thing.
Save the suds from wash-day for this
purpose. The soap in the water will
benefit the plants.
Be sure to supply substantial sup
port for your dahlias. II this is not
done you will be likely to find them
broken some morning after a sudden
wind or a hard rain-storm.
The stakes should be at least four
feet tall-allow an extra foot and a
half for insertion in the ground-and
they should be at least an inch through
and Of good sound wood.
Paint them a dull green and they
will not be unpleasantly obtrusive.
Tie the stalks to them with broad
strips of cloth instead of strings. The
latter will cut into the tender branches
when they are whipped by the wind.

PLANT CATALPA TREES
BY BETTY PAKE.

An acre of ground will produce
three to four thousand fence posts
and such posts are now worth about
twenty-five cents each. Fifteen years
later they will probably bring twice
as much. as timber is becoming scare
er every year
Catalpa trees grow into telephone
poles and fence posts in about fifteen
years.
One-year-old trees are the best to
plant. Be sure they are all healthy
and come not too far from home. You
will have to pay about twelve dollars
per 1000 for good trees.
The ground should be plowed and
put in good condition. as for corn
The rows ought to be about eight feet
apart and perfectly straight. Use q
corn marker to get them just right.
After they get good start cut them
back nearly to the ground. Don't be
afraid to cut, as they will be all the
stronger for the pruning. On good
soil. where trees are not too much
crowded. they will grow from i've 70

made of enameled iron or japauned
iron. so that the water win not have
any effect on them.
Two silos are included In the plan
for this barn. In many instances the
owner may decide that It would be
better to build one large silo. but very
often it is cheaper to build two small.
er ones. The higher the silo goes the
more it costs per foot to build 1t, and
very often 1t is much cheaper, II care
fully figured out. to build two silos
that do not go very far above the
ground. The feeding Is generally very
easy in either case.
One Of the details of barn that is
very important is the type of hanger
that Is to be used on the sliding doors.
In large barn such as this one there
are quite few sliding doors, and the
best quality of material should be
used, or they will be a nuisance. The
kind that is chosen should have q
cover over the track so as to protect
it from the action of the weather and
also keep the birds out of it. It
should be strong enough so that there
will De no tendency to sag or break.
Little things like this are often con-
sidered unimportant. but II farmer
had a door break down during very
cold weather and had to nail 1t in po-
sition to keep his stock warm until
he could fix it, he would be much more
likely to consider such little things OF
importance afterward. -t-.
The floor plan shows all the equip
ment that is necessary to do all the
work in the stable. For instance.
hydrants are placed in the stable to
handle the cleaning. This is a good
plan, because the stable will be warm
enough SO that there will be very little
danger of the hydrants freezing. az
they might If they were on the out
side. .-..
The study of this plan will be worth
while to any man that is interested In
the best modern practice in the ar
rangement of dairy stables for the
maximum amount of convenience.
