Measles comes next. diphtheria is
not far behind and scarlet fever Is
fourth on the list. The mortality
from whooping cough continues
high up to Ave years OF age. During
the second year OF life. diphtheria
shows the highest mortality OF the
FIVE diseases although measles Is
more fatal at this age than any

HOW TO GROW SWEET PEAS
BETY-PAkE.

First of all select your seeds early
and SOW as soon as is possible in
your particular part of the globe.
It is bad business to plant your
sweet peas on the same ground sue
cessiye years. II your garden is too
small to allow of change of site
each year, remove the old soil and fill
in with new.
This soil should be rich and deep
and prepared early-the fall of the
year is a good time-if this can be
done. Dig into the ground thorough
ly slaked lime and wood ashes.
The ideal soil for growing sweet
peas is good rich, turfy loan, thor
oughly enriched with rotted manure or
bonemeal in proportion of three
fourths soil to one-fourth fertilizer,
according to the condition of the soil.
In sowing the peas do not SOW them
too thickly or too thinly-a fair av-
erage is one package of seed to ten
feet of garden-should the peas grow
too thiekly thin out to about two
inches apart
Pulverize the soil in the trench be-
fore sowing your seeds. To a depth
of three inches see that the soil is
exquisitely fine. Sow the seeds in
double row about ten inches apart,
about two inches below the surface.
Arrange brush for trailing the vines,
the brush should run from five to eight
feet above the ground. 1t is good
plan TO arrange these supports when
the seed is sown.
Sweet peas suffer from dry and hot
weather. Water them frequently and
thoroughly and give them an appliea-
ton of liquid manure once a week.
Apply good heavy mulch CT long.
straw manure around the ground
around the sweet peas. as soon as hot
weather sets in This keeps the
ground from drying out and keeps the
soil cool.
The life of the vine is greatly length.
ened If every seed pod Is removed as
soon as they appear and by the con-
slant cutting of the flowers.
4 partial shade during the hottest
part of the day is very essential to
secure the best color In the blooms.
The greatest enemy sweetpeas
have is the cutworm and they often
prevent getting a stand of good sweet
peas. They usually take the young
shoots as soon as they appear. Water
ing with limewater helps TO keep out

ing is almost necessity.
Diversified farming may be the
watehword 6f the time, but it is not
the principle to follow In the house
garden. To have little of every
thing generally means that you will
not have much of anything, The vari-
eties must be limited. \ number of
plants of the same habit and color are
much better than Il collection.
Begonias will give touch of color
to the winter garden. A temperature
of 55 degrees is required for them,
and they can be propagated by tubers,
leaves or cuttings. The gioxinia re-
quires heat in the early stages. The
easiest method of propagation Is from
tubers direct. The amarylis, or hip
peastrum, makes handsome pot
plant Its flowers are large and they
vary in tint. They require very little
water to make winter success.
The bantana requires fairly warm
spot for the best results, but 1t makes
fine plant for winter blooming. The
spirea, with its creamy masses and
delicate odor Is always valuable fac
tor Good drainage and plenty of
moisture are required.
