INDOOR GARDENS.
You May Have Foliage In Your
Home All Winter.
HOW TO COMBINE PLANTS.

Experts Instruct Us That Flower Boxes
Must Have Good Drainage and House
Plants Be Watered Lightly and Free
quently Rather Than Heavily.
prepared by department Of agricultural
A good depth for an indoor window
box is about eight inches. The bottom
Of the box should be covered with
stones and broken pottery for drain
age. This should be covered with a
layer Of moss to prevent the soil from
working down and clogging the drain
age spaces. The drainage and moss
should take up together about two
inches. The greater the body Of soil
above the moss the more uniformly
moist it may be kept. The soil should
fail to fill the box by from one and one
half to two inches.
The indoor window box should be as
long as the window is wide, and to get
as much light as possible it should be
level with the window sill. 1t may be
placed either on brackets, a table or
legs permanently fastened to it. A hole
or holes should be provided in the bot
tom of the box, and drip pan should
be placed beneath to catch drainage
water.
The top of the soil should be allowed
to become dry occasionally. The re-
suits of watering should be closely OBJ
served and the supply regulated ac-
cording to needs. In general it is bet
ter TO water lightly and frequently
than heavily and infrequently, although
just the reverse is considered best
when watering is done out of doors in
summer
Only plants of the same general |
character should be placed in window
boxes since plants of different kinds |
require different treatment. Begonias |
are about the only plants that may be |
expected to flower in a window box. |
For the most part foliage alone must |
be depended upon as the contribution
of the indoor plants to the attractive
ness of the room. Among the plants
which may be grown for foliage for
window boxes are ferns, geraniums,
Kenilworth ivy, smilax and aspidistra.
The latter plant is especially valuable
as a window box plant, as it will thrive
in spite Of considerable neglect, drought
and dust.
An advantage in growing plants In
pots instead of in boxes is that a lar
ger variety can be grown since different
treatment may be given. In addition
to the plants already mentioned for
growing in window boxes, palms, rub
Der plants and cacti may be grown. in
pots. 1t is advisable in growing all
these plants to make use of regular
florists pOtting soil, made up of one
part compost, one part good loan and
one part sand. 1t is well to add one
twentieth part bone meal to the mix

A TURKEYS THANKSGIVING.

Gobble Gobble was big fat turkey.
He lived on a farm where there were
lots of chickens AMI ducks and geese.
They had a good time. for Farmer
Binks, who owned the farm, gave them
lots to eat and took good care Of them.
Gobble Gobble was fond of eating, and
he was one of the latest turkeys Of the
flock.
Hell be fine roasted" said Farmer
Binks to his wife. IL think We'll keep
him for Thanksgiving"
The day before Thanksgiving there
was a good deal going on in the house
Every one seemed busy and gay.
When the farmer sent his son jim
my out to feed the poultry Gobble
Gobble asked him what was going on.
But as Gobble Gobble used turkey talk
in speaking to Jimmy of course the lit
tie boy didn't understand.
When Jimmy went whiStling into
the house he forgot to close the gate
after him, and GObble Gobble darted
out
IF Thanksgiving means having a
good time I'm going off to have a good
time myself Gobble GObble said, as
he trotted off in the direction Of the
woods. Guess III go off and be
wild turkey. as Grandfather Turkey
Trotter said our folks all were in the
long ago"
So he went through the woods look
ing for wild turkeys to live with. but
there were none there or. Of course.
folks would have gone out to the
woods and got one whenever they
wanted a turkey dinner.
Poor GObble Gobble couldn't find
much to eat for supper. He slept in a
tree, just as Grandfather Turkey Trot-
ter said their folks had done In the long
ago. but it wasn't so comfortable as he
had expected.
Gobble Gobble had a crick in his neck
when he got up, and breakfast was
most as scarce as supper had been.
He wandered about in the woods for
a day or two before Farmer Binks' son
found him. Thanksgiving was over.
HE would have been SO much ten
derer than old Turkey Trotter," sighed
Jimmy's mother. "We1l have to keep
Gobble Gobble for Christmas"

THE BIRDS BATH.
Baking Tins Make Delightful Tubs"
For Feathered Pets.

Some canaries simply refuse to take
baths regularly i'm the tiny bird baths
usually provided for them. The thing
to do then is to take all perches out of
the cage and also the bottom. Then
set the cage over an oblong or square
baking tin, according to the shape of
the cage. just partly filed with water
This will leave no place for the bird TO
60 but to cling TO the side Of the cage.
Of which we will soon tire, or take his
plunge. OF course, If the bird simply
sits In the water without bathing he
must not be allowed to remain in the
bath for very long, as he will catch
cold. Most birds, however. will battle

THANKSGIVING CRANBERRIES
Interesting Ways to Celebrate the Red

Interesting Ways to Celebrate the Rec
Berry on Holidays.
Cranberries are good any way. They
taste good and look good, and they
are very good for the health. Stewed
cranberries are delicious accompani-
ment to the everyday dinner, and there
are few meats which do not taste the
better for the addition Of cranberries.
Cranberry jelly looks better, but is
not as sensible for every day, as it re-
quires more sugar.
Cranberry Pie.-Ever so many like n
cranberry pie. For it cover the bottom
OF pie pan with plain paste, reserv-
Ing enough for an upper crust. Make
a rim around the edge and pour in a
filling made with one cupful of cram
berries cut into halves, half a cupful-
Of chopped, seeded raisins. three
fourths of a cupful of sugar, a table
spoonful Of cornstarch and lump Of
butter. Cover with the upper crust
and bake about half an hour.
Cranberry Pudding.-Another posi-
bility Is cranberry pudding. To make
it cream half a cupful of butter, add
slowly one cupful of sugar: then add
three well beaten eggs. Mix three tea
spoonfuls Of baking powder with three
and half cupfuls of flour; add this to
the mixture alternately with half
cupful Of milk. Add two cupfuls OF
cranberries which have been washed,
dried and Toured with some OF the
-four already measured. Turn into a
buttered mold, cover closely and steam
two hours. Serve with hard sauce.

Thomas Gaffney, special gov ernment agent, returned to the eity last evening after an extend d tour of the district under his
 jurisdiction. Mir. Gaffney has been on the go almost continu- 5usiy since his departure and has covered a wide range of territory. Hooper Bay some miles south 3f Cape Romanzof, was the point fartherest south touched t but the trip covered many in terior points, including Marshall City, Andrefski and other places n the Yukon section.
 Relative to the Marshal City camp, Mr. Gafney says that the place is prosperous and the out look is for the summer very bright. Good pay has been found on five claims. Among those who are in on the money is Frank Waskey, who has some very good ground and intends to op- crate extensively during the open season Marshal has been grant ed postofice but the department
 efused to accept the name of Marshal as there are a con siderable number of towns of that name on the department roster. The department ordered the citizens of the town to sub init a list of five names from which one might be chosen. This resulted in the selection of the name Fortuna Ledge which will be the official designation of the postof6ce there. Mir. Gaffney says that the name of Fortuna was suggested by Mrs. Waskey and Ledge was offered by one of the male inhabitants and it was finally decided to combine the two.
 Concerning the trip, the re- turning official says that he was travelling almost continuously from the time he left here, Jan uary 6, until his return The weather during the journey was average and no great difficulties were encountered. At one point between Kaltag and Holy Cross he was compelled to hire a man to snowshoe a trail for a distance

of I5o miles as the snow was deep and no one had been across that section. There are not many white people living in that dis trict. As far as ascertained there were but six white men between Kaltag and Anvik.
 The condition of the natives along the route covered is de- scribed as generally pretty fair all though there was considerable Restitution and suffering among the natives of the Hooper Bay region during the early part of the winter. Big storms occur ring in that section in January were largely responsible for this condition.
 The bureau of education did all that was possible to relieve the distress and the suffering was greatly abated thereby. Mir Gafney says that Walter John son, who is in charge of the bureau of education work in that section IS very popular and highly regarded for his abilities as displayed in the work of his department Aside from the usual hardships of winter travel Mr. Gaffney says the trip was thoroughly enjoyed. The hospi- tality of the sourdoughs was par ticularly impressive and most hospitable entertainment was given him at every point.
