GERANIUMS ORNAMENTAL

Beds Of geraniums are exceedingly
ornamental, provided they are kept
in tidy condition. This can be done
by keeping all flower trusses picked
off. If the faded flowers are allowed
to remain | know OF no plant that can
take on a more unsightly, slovenly
look.
OF course all the buds in a truss
do not develop at the same time, and
one does not like to destroy undevel-
oped flowers, but the clusters can be
made to look clean and attractive by
pulling away from them all flowers
that have passed their prime and
taken on that draggled look which so
detracts from the slightly appearance
of everything else in the bed.
Unless one has great number of
plants this can be done in a short
time.
1t will be found much easier than
going over the bed and cutting out
all the faded flowers as is sometimes
advised.

Environment.

It cannot be impressed upon US too
often that harmony of surroundings
is absolutely necessary to the devel.
opment of beauty. It depends on the
soul quality for its inspiration and
growth. The soul quality dies unless
nurtured by such surroundings as are
pleasing.

ors and shades that are most soothing
Every woman cannot have her home
decorated just as she wishes. But ev

that appeal to her. When she is tired
let her go 10 this corner and find rest
there, reading her favorite authors,
looking at her favorite pictures, sew
ing, crocheting or sitting and thinking.
II It is impossible for such a corner
to be had. surely there is some spot
Of the town or city, some library, mu-

Luxury, when you think of It, is not
of necessity attractive. So often It is
in bad taste that the Joy comes often
in being able not to have to indulge
in it.
Most women are much more attrac-
tive at home. This is because in the
setting of the things they love which
are part of their personalities, they
are in repose. The woman who is

KEEP SOIL LOOSE ON TOP
BY G. GEoFRY.

Never allow the soil to become hard
and baked; stir it frequently and as
deeply as possible without disturbing
the roots.
This will increase it's capacity to
hold moisture, which is very neces-
sary to the welfare of the plant.
Soil around leaf crops must be kept
loose to cause them to grow rapidly,
which will make them tender.

STORING MANURE FOR GARDEN
BY LIMA R. ROSE.

A common practice is to manure the
garden every year, late in the fall or
before planting in the spring, no fur
ther attention being given. This prac-
tice, however, is not the best.
The manure for the garden should
be kept in a large box with a lid Or
so screened that flies cannot enter it.
Manure heaps are the natural breed
ing places Of these pests and If they
are allowed to remain near the house,
uncovered, win prove great nui-
gance.
A good plan is to use a very close
wire screen nailed to frame with
hinges for the top. The manure should
be- spaded often on the top so that the

Save Your Paper, Says Uncle Sam.

SaNS iOdT TdPSTJ Gays UNCLE sam.
Save your old paper and rags! By
so doing, according to the department
of commerce, you not only will be en-
riching yourself to a certain extent,
but will be aiding paper manufacturers
to solve what promises to become a
very serious problem-the shortage of
raw materials
The department is sending broad
cast letters to business firms urging
them to conserve their old paper.
Something like $4,000 tons of paper
are manufactured every day in the
United States and large proportion
Of this, after being used, is thrown
away or burned, with the result that
just so much raw material must be
obtained
Most of this paper can be used again
in the manufacture of a slightly in
ferior grade.

Power of Tightening.

Lightning has been proved to have
struck a building with a force equal
to more than 12,00O-horse power. A
single horse power, in mechanical cal

weight of $4,000 pounds one foot in
minute. The force of lightning,
therefore, has been proved to be equal
to the raising Of 384,OOO,OOO pounds

They require the proper kind of
