GROWING WATER LILIES

Fortunate are those having a
natural pond or site where one may
be easily constructed. Yet a minia-
ture pond in the garden is within the
reach of anyone.
II selecting a site, choose one, If
possible, partly shaded from the noon
day glare, yet having the full benefit
of the morning sun.
This should be prepared the fall be-
fore in order to be fully decomposed.
Lilies open in the morning and close
at least partially during the middle of
the day, hence the more they are pro-
tected from the intense heat the more
lasting will be the blossoms.
1t should be on low ground, the top
being preferably just below the ground
level
If there is not a natural depression,
an artificial one can easily be made,
the earth removed from the pool be-
ing arranged at the proper place at
the sides to make a gradual slope.
1t should be about two feet deep
for our native lilies and lotus, but an
other foot must be added if you are so
ambitious as to try to grow that giant
beauty, Victoria Regina.
Have it protected from high winds
in some way; trees or shrubs serve
nicely.
The material used in making the
pond may be concrete or brick An
outlet or an overflow pipe are essen
tial.
Unless the pond is large, one must
be shy of trying many varieties, as
the stronger soon crowd out the
weaker
If the tank with pipes is not within
reach, beautiful effect may be OBJ
tanned by sinking a tub or half bar
rel into the ground and placing one or
two plants in it.
The soil should be very rich and
filled in to a depth of two-thirds. An
ideal soil is made by composing barn
yard manure with rich sods Of loamy
nature, using in the proportion of one
and two-thirds, respectively
Sprinkle a little sand over the top
and fill the tank with water. With a
sunny exposure during part of the
day. the plants will grow and bloom
nicely.
Unless one is willing to pipe the
water, it must be supplied as needed,
by filling from pals. AS the plants
need very little other care, this can
well be afforded.

INDOOR BLOSSOMS

A foretaste of spring may be had
by the naturelover, while King Frost
reigns in the field and forest, if he
will force few twigs to bloom in the
house.
Go into the garden, the orchard, the
forest, the hedges, and cut twigs a
foot or two long and sort them into
bouquets-eac sort separate. Place
in vases in water in a sunny window.
A little charcoal added will help keep
the water sweet.
Change the water twice a week and
wash the cut ends in warm, soapy
water once a week The vases should
be washed thoroughly every time the
water is changed. Once a week it is
well to soak the branches in warm
water, before the flowers open, and
thus take the place of the warm,
spring rains Do not keep them in a
dry, hot atmosphere.
Hazel tassels will develop in the sit
ting room, so will the pussy willow.
One of the earliest and quickest
shrubs in the house is the forsythia,
along with the Towering almond. The
dogwood unfolds it's lovely disks side
by side with the fragrant crab apple.
Almost all the fruit trees will bios
som indoors, but they take a long
time to do so. Many Towering shrubs
may be relied upon for blossoms,
while the maple, grape, willow, beech,
horse chestnut, ETC., will give leaves

A motor-driven machine for clean
ing and grading fruit, that has just
been brought out in Oregon, is ca
pears, oranges and lemons, and of dis
tributing them into ten grades at the
rate of over 1900 pieces an hour.
The fruit is first fed into the cleaner,
where it is thoroughly cleaned by
revolving brushes made of hog bris-
automatically to the grader The
grader is built in circular form and
occupies space about thirteen feet
in diameter, the outer part consisting
Of a sloping table which is divided
radially into bins for receiving the
different sizes of fruit as it is graded
The center of the machine is occupied
by revolving plate, on which are "a
cups, each of which, as it passes un-
der the dischargfRg apron of the clean
CT, receives one piece of the fruit. At
the point where the fruit is received
the cup is practically closed at the
bottom. The opening at the bottom
of the cup is controlled by two cam
rails in such way that it. gradually
widens as the cup swings round the
circle, and at point over the proper
bin this opening becomes large enough
to allow the fruit to drop. The cups
and other parts of the machine with
which the fruit comes in contact are
tined with felt SO that there is no
danger that the fruit will be bruised
during either the cleaning or grading
process. The machine is intended to
be driven by an electric motor or a
gasoline engine.-Popular Mechanics

SOME DIFFICULTIES
FOUND IN CHURNING
Expert of State College of Wash
inqtOn Gives Five Factors as
Cause of Trouble.

Difficult churning may be caused
by one or more of the following fac
tors, says Nystrom in bulletin is
sued by the State College of Wash
ington:
1. The cream may be too sweet, in
which case foaming occurs, resulting
in insufficient conclusion.
2. Cream may be too cold, in which
case the fat globules are too hard TO
stick together
8. Cream from stripper cows or
from COWS fed dry feeds exclusively,
contain hard fat globules which do
not stick together readily.
4. Thin cream containing too much
milk does not allow the fat particles
to coalesce.
5. Improper agitation, either too
fast or too slow.

CARE OF FROZEN PLANTS

When plants are frozen or only
frost-bitten, remove them at once to
a cold room or cellar, which can be
darkened, and sprinkle them thorough
ly with cold water. Leave them in
the dark for day or two until they
are quite thawed out Then cut off
all the damaged branches belCw the
line of injury and return gradually ts
the temperature of the living room.
Don't delay a moment in removing
frozen plants from a high to low
temperature.

A GOOD CHANGE.
A Change of Food Works Wonders.

Wrong food and drink cause lot OF
trouble in this world. To change is
first aid when a person is ill, particu-
larly from stomach and nervous trou-
bles. AS an illustration: A lady in
Mo. was brought around to health
again by leaving off coffee and some
articles of food that did not agree with
her.
She says:
For a number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until | was i'll
most of the time. About four years
ago l left off coffee and began using
Postum. My stomach and bowels
improved right along, but l was SO re-
duced in flesh and Sc nervous that the
least thing would overcome me.
"Then 1 changed my food and began
using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. l lived on these two princi-
pally for about four months. Day by
day gained in flesh and strength I'M
til the nervous trouble had disap-
peared. l feel that I owe my health
to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
Husband was troubled, for long
time, with occasional cramps, and
slept badly. Finally ! prevailed upon
him to leave off coffee and take
Postum. After he tried Postum for
few days he found that he could
sleep and that his cramps disappeared.
He never went back to coffee" Name

Postum comes in two forms:

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
SO the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible mate
rial, which if not completely eliminat
ed from the system each day, becomes
food for the millions of bacteria which
infest the bowels. From this mass OF
leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine-
like poisons are formed and sucked
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink glass of real hot wa
ter with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous days
accumulation of poisons and toxins
and to keep the entire alimentary
canal clean, pure. and fresh.
Those who are Subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate from
any druggist or storekeeper, and be-
gin practicing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is suffi-
Gent TO make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses.
