Black Children Of Northern

It appears that the black children
of northern Queensland are as much
pleased by their games as white
youngsters. One praiseworthy aspect

they play their game for the sake OF

USE FOR HOUSE Stops

Any house Stops 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

ting 1t decay.

LATE SUMMER WORK NOTES
a. e. VAN aENrHUYsEN.

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 will now begin to attack the
scarlet runner and other flowers of
that nature and they must be watched
carefully.
The dahlias. gladioli and other rank
growing plants are likely TO be blown
down by the wind and should be
staked.
Unless 6hrysanthemums 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 MANFRED 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 1t.
It is fatal to some plants to fertilize
them with rich manures when the
ground is very dry.
Never allow roses to remaic 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 Il .ilacs 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 seffectually 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 boil use about one part to
fifteen parts of water.
Scrape up road dust and apply about
the roots of your plants during the hot
weather and keep the moisture in the
soil. Lawn clippings make an excel
lent mulch for the larger plants and
shrubs.
Save the grass clippings from the
lawn to serve as a mulch for the bed
of tea roses. These plants like to have
the soil about their roots cool and
moist. Spread the grass over the bed
to a depth of two or three inches.
When it withers, work it into the soil
to act as fertilizer as 1t decays and
apply fresh clippings.
Cuttings from the geranium may be
made all through August in most cli-
mates.
In a dry season don't NOW the lawn
as often as in a showery one. Regu-
late the frequency of your moving
by the appearance of the grass. Aim
to keep it looking green and velvety.

For several seasons after Doc White

Genius Of French Army Cooks.

The worldwide fame of France as
the motherland of chefs has been en-
Glanced by the demands of war. The
cuisine of the French army is far
ahead of the best cooking in any 9th
er army. The ''slum" of the American
cook soldier is not to be compared
with the savory stews served on the
French front in appetizing quantities.
This is not due to variety of supply
but to the native talent of the French
