BEST FERN FOR LIVING ROOM

The best fern for the living room

room heated by steam, or hot air, or
wood fire. For such a room would

beautiful varieties of recent introduce

1t is a sprout from the old Boston
fern. 1t has shorter fronds than that
variety, but they are broader. and the
leaflets on them are developed into
miniature fronds, thus making it a
most graceful plant, when we'll grown.
It's fronds have a plumelike effect that
make a fine specimen of one of the
most ornamental of decorative plants.
Give it a soil of leaf-mold, or turfy

sion. For the golden faring yellow
beauty Is able to trace its lineage back
to the royal gardens of some forgotten
mikado, who admired its forefathers
many centuries ago.
The origin of the flower as the pet
OF royalty is lost in the early twilight
Of eastern history; it was probably
cultivated in the early days of Confu-
cius, and has certainly been treasured
in the Orient from time immemorial.
The emblem and crest Of the mikado
of Japan are the leaf and flower of the
chrysanthemum.
The first appearance Of the flower
in Europe was probably in 1894. when
specimens found their way to the bo-
tanical gardens in old Chelsea, Eng
land. These were only small yellow
things and did not arouse much en-
thusiasm. Not very much was done
with the chrysanthemum in England
until about 1885.
Method of chrysanthemum culture
given by a leading horticulturist is as
follows: To produce the best results,
the young shoots should be planted in
threeinch pots early in the spring, and
in six weeks transferred to five-inch
pots. AS soon as the plants have at
tanned a height of nine or ten inches
they should be "pinched back" that is
an inch or so Of the center of the plant
should be pinched Off This causes
the plants to become "bushy," as il
checks the tendency of an upward,
spindly growth. II fine plants are de-
sired this pinching back process
should be repeated every two weeks
until August. The plants will by that
time have attained a height of about
two feet. By October they will have
increased another foot in height and
each plant will have from fifteen to
thirty shoots.

Omen Necks and Health.

Portraits of famous beauties who
have kept their good looks late in
life always show that they wore open
necks and heelless shoes, says a we'll
known physician. Certain it is that
when the neck is restricted with tight
collars the important thyroid glands
on either side of the windpipe, the
great stabilizers of the human body,
cannot do their work properly, and
the correlations between other glands
in the head throat and chest are in
terrupted. 1t is these glands which
store up the reserve strength and
vitality so much needed in later life
and which regulate the entire body
and head. The thymus glands in the
chest are particularly important to
growing girls.

FlRESIDE GARDENING

Each year should add something to
the wisdom of the gardener. To sue
ceed, the planting must be the outcome
of continued thought.
In the leisure of the winter days the
various bulletins and reports from the
many organizations should be as tools
to the ambitious gardener.
The mere facts they. contain are not
so valuable as the suggestions and en-
thusiasms for which they are respon-
sible, as no sensible person can read
these pamphlets by practical men
without wishing to emulate their sue
cesses or avoid their failures.
The years gardening should be
mapped out and planned by the winter
freside. Formulas for insecticides and
fungicides should be familiarized and
the material for their compounding
should be procured.
Apparatus for applying them should
be studied, made or purchased.
Markets and marketing should be
carefully considered and the whole
business gone over from various points
of view.

was no answer. They rang again, and
after considerable delay the door was
opened by Annie, who greeted them
with:

is nearly 20 feet, which is sufficient

One end of the building is intended
for a machine shop, to be partitioned
off by enclosing the first bent. This
gives a shop Is feet square for black
smith shop and general repair work
The machine shop part of the build
ing will be arranged according to the
mechanical inclination of the farmer.
A real, genuine, sure-enough farm re-
pair shop is a rather elaborate me-
chanical proposition. There is a good
brick chimney to carry off the smoke
and gases from the blacksmith fire,
and the chimney should have a sepa-
rate fue for a heating stove. Farm
repair work is done mostly during the
winter months, when a FIRE in the
shop is necessary for comfort and eff
cheney. A person cannot work to ad-
vantage with cold fingers. Paint re-
quires moderate heat to work to ad-
vantage. Painting farm implements
is a very important part Of repair
work.
A good shop arrangement is to have
an iron work bench across the end,
lighted by wide window. built in
shop fashion. In the far corner
against the back wall is a good place
for woodworking bench. 1t is too
mussy to have the blacksmith work
and the carpenter work mixed up.
Also different styles of vises are
needed. A high, heavy iron wise for
blacksmith work and low-down wise
that is flush with the top of the bench
for carpenter work. Besides the forge
and anvil the farmer needs a good
drill press. The upright pattern that
bolts to a post is most satisfactory.
Room is needed in the front and at
the right and left-hand sides of the
drill, with the post at the back 1t
often happens that farmer wants to
drill holes through a long piece of
iron, and this arrangement permits
passing it through from end to end
Quite a number of hand blacksmith
tools are needed. A partial list would
include about four pairs of tongs of
different shapes and sizes, black
smith hammer, one lighter riveting
hammer with a fiat peen, sledge
hammer, an anvil hardy, one pair of
horseshoe nippers, and small assort-
ment each Of drills, cold chisels,
punches and files. This outfit would
not be expensive and it is sufficient
to do a great many jobs of repair
work. 1t may be added to at any time |
when other tools are really needed.
The farm carpenter tool outfit may
be less expensive, because fewer tools
are needed A good crosscut hand
saw, having nine teeth to the inch,
will be found useful for farm work.
A good hand rip saw is more neces.
sary on farm than in town, because
power woodworking machinery is
within reach of the town workmen.
A farmer needs two or three nail
hammers, together with the hard and
fast rule that one belongs exclusively
in the shop and must be left there.
The farm shop should also be sup
piled with a good brace and set of
bits 5-16ths to 1 inch. Pod bits are
better up to and including " inch.
A jack plane and a draw shave, with
some smaller odd tools, will complete
the necessary carpenter outfit to start
with,

three brushes Of different sizes are
