MONEY IN COTTAGE GARDENS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

When lived in the country we used
to send scores Of nosegays to market,
priced from five TO ten cents. We
could not supply them fast enough.
and If people cared to grow common
flowers or pot plants and sell them
outside n railway station for instance,
they could do well with them now.
Make your own leaf mold. When
sod is removed from the ground for
any purpose, shake out the fine soil
that adheres to IL for future use, or
slice Off the fine roots with a sharp
knife just below the crown Of the
grass.
This is known as fbrous loan and
in combination with leaf mold, old
manure and fine sharp sand makes the
very best potting soil.
Throw the top of the sods In a heap
in some out-of-the-way corner, and add
the rakings Of the yard In fall and
spring, all weeds pulled during the
summer, all refuse of vegetables, pOta-
to parings apple peellngs, corn husks
and berry hulls, anything that is vege-
table matter and will decay.
All dishwater and slops that are not
needed on the garden should be thrown
on the pile, which should be turned oc-
casionally during the winter.
BY the following spring you will
have the finest kind of leaf mold.
Not all the pile will have decayed,
but along the edges and underneath 1t |
will be found ready for use.
Add to it every bit Of available veg
etable matter during the year, includ- |
ing the annual flowers pulled up after
their season of bloom. Add tops of
such root plants as cannas, caladiums,
gladiOli, and you will soon have a sup
ply quite adequate to the needs of the
ordinary garden.
Where there are waterworks the
hose may be turned on frequently to
hasten composition.
If 1t is impossible to replace all poor
'oii IN the garden with better, by the
addition of leaf mold and manure
much may be accomplished in the way
If building up and rendering it suit

USE FOR HOUSE SLOPS

Any house slops that are free from
grease or acids may be poured around
the roots of plants to their advantage,
pushing aside the mulch for this pur.
pose and replacing when done.
Water the ground literally, always
watering in the evening. Or, have a
rubbish corner in which to dump every
thing that will make plant food, and
pour the house Slops-all kinds-on
it, fOrking it over occasionally, and let.
ting it decay.
Add to the heap any sward from
the roadside, peelings and parings from
the kitchen.

LATE SUMMER WORK NOTES
BY E. VAN sENTHuYsEN.

Watch the tender greenhouse plants
that are in the open and take them up
before the last days of summer have
passed.
Have the pots ready for the bulbs
which must be taken up soon.
Insects viii now begin to attack the
scarlet runner and other flowers OF
that nature and they must be watched
carefully.
The dahlias gladioll and other rank
growing plants are likely 10 be blown
down by the wind and should be
staked.
Unless chrysanthemums are shaded
during the hot month of August they
Will be injured by the sun.
Drench the ground around the tea
roses, but do not spray the bushes.
Roses Of all kinds should be thor
oughly manured with well-rotted cow
manure and mulched with lawn cut
tings and leaves.
Liquid manure should be applied
only when the ground is moist enough
to absorb it.
1t Is fatal to some plants to fertilize
them with rich manures when the
ground is very dry.
Never allow roses to remain on the |
bush when the petals begin to fall.
All plants that are intended for win
ter boomers should have the buds
pinched off now.
Pick pansies and nasturtiums every |
day If you want to have plenty of
blooms
When the lilacs have finished bloom
Ing. all the seed clusters should be
cut away. If the seed is allowed to
develop on the lilac it generally has
Few flowers in every other year.
The best way to kill weeds now is
to pull them up by hand.
The redbug and other enemies of the
rose, If not killed off last month should
be effectually removed now. An ex-
cellent spray for rose bushes is made
of one-half pound of laundry soap
melted In hot water to which is added
one cupful Of kerosene. When this
comes to a boil, use about one part TO
fifteen parts of water. {

BURNS HIS SHIP FOR FUEL.
Caught in Ice FIoe. Captain Cuts Away Woodwork to Fire Boilers.
(NeW York Herald.)


 Caught in the ice off the banks of Newfoundland and held fast there for ten days without coal, compelled to burn the woodwork and furniture of the ship for fuel, the Loch Tay. a Norwegian steamship, arrived here after a voyage of thirty-one days from Rotterdam.
 Storms delayed the progress of the I.och Fay almost from the moment when she left port at Rotterdam. and by the time she reached the banks she had burned up every ounce of coal.
 The ship soon found herself in an ice pack, the outer edges of which seemed to grow more and more dis tant until it became an immense field extending to the horizon in every directiin.
 To get out of this frozen barrier without fuel for the engines was inn possible, so the captain began feeding to the flames first the furniture of the ship and then bulkheads and whatever other woodwork there was aboard to keep up steam there was sea was regained. To accomplish this required ten days. After putting into St. Johns, Newfoundland, to recoal, the Loch Fay resumed her voyage and head winds lasting up to the time of her arrival here.
