The many fine buildings, commercial activity that seems apY aren't, ana the many Improvements along the water front are simply astonishing.'
 'Wrangell," Mr.. McCormack replied, when asked about bis home town, is doing nicely, and we fully expect very prosperous seas on next year. MT. Calvin, who represents the interests in the Ground Hog Basin, not far distant from the city, is now in the States purchasing machinery with which operations will be carried on next season. Reports are that good pay has been found. This means a great deal to our town. Our new bank building will soon be com. pleted, and the citizens look for 8 prosper ous new year"
 MT. Mccormack is one of the oldest business men of Wrangelly having established the mercantile firm known as the St. Michael Trading Company in that town many years ago. He was mayor of the city tor five consecutive years, and has always been an im- portant factor in apbuilding tfe community.

How are the lawn and home

few years. White clover, as all the
clovers, is a biennial, completely dy-
ing after the second year. If the lawn
is kept closely clipped, white clover
seed should be sown each fall or
spring to insure a permanent stand.
The same result may be secured by
not moving in the fall, allowing the
plants to blossom and seed. !,

TOO MUCH WATER KILLS
PLANTS
BY LIMA p. ROSE.

6y LIMA ~ nOoc.
More plants in the window garden
are killed every year by overwhelming
than in any other way. Some persons
labor under the delusion that water
must be applied daily, and the conse-
quence Is theiT plants are literally
drowned out, unless they happen to
have the best drainage.
Others 60 on the "little-and-often"
plan-that Is, they apply water in
small quantities whenever they hap
pen to think of 1t.
The result is the surface Of the soil
is kept moist and from this the owner
takes 1t for granted that the soil be-
meath must be properly damp. -.
Nine times out OF ten examination
will show that an inch or two below
the surface the soil is dry. OF course
the roots of the plants cannot do their
work under such conditions. The plant
soon sickens and eventually dies and
the owner wonders what caused the
trouble.
Now, in watering plants several
things have to be considered. First.
the nature of the plant. Some like a
good deal of water, others only 9 mod.
crate amount. Lo 9,
Second, the soil. A Gle I, p,amy soil
dries out slowly, therefofe 1t will not
require as frequent or as large appli-
cations as light porous soil from
which moisture evaporates rapidly.
Third, location and exposure must
be taken into consideration. Plants in
the sun or very warm place, will
need good deal more water than
those in full or partial shade or a low
temperature
Fourth, the size Of the pot must be
reckoned with. The soil in a large pot
will not dry out for two or three days.
but the soil in a small pot will become
quite dry every day.
Fifth, dormant plant requires but
little water. 1t Is not in condition
to make use of much water and an
oversupply of it will surely result In
harm. When the plant begins to grow
then increase the quantity and proper
ton this to the development made.
All these things must receive due
consideration by the amateur who
would know how to care for his or her
plants intelligently.
Study them. Experiment with them.
In this way you soon become familiar
with the individuality of each one and
you will be able to give to each the
care 1t needs.
We are often asked for some rules
for watering plants. 1t is impossible to
make any rule that can be followed
strictly.
The only rule have ever been able
to give is this: When the surface of
the soil looks dry, water. Use enough
to thoroughly saturate all the soil in
the pot.
You can tell about this by the es-
cape Of some at the bottom OF the pot.
Then wait until the dry look appears
on the surface again and apply water
as before.
But, as have said, one will have to
modify this rule to fit the conditions.
It is a general rule, subject to such
change as may appear necessary to
the intelligent plant grower, who does
not believe In treating all the plants
exactly alike.
Give fertilizers to growing plants
only. A plant standing still needs
none and will be injured by the appli-
cations of the food it is not in condi-
ton to make use of.
