SOME EASILY-MADE BEDS
By BEEN E. RExFORD.

Personally, I am not much of an admirer of carpet or ribbon bedding or the designs" which the enthusias- tic amateur gardener attempts but is pretty sure to abandon later in the season, because he discovers that de signs work out satisfactorily in annuals.
 The fact is. carpet bedding plans are not only effective when such fo- liage plants. as the coelus., archyran- thes, centurea, pyrethrum and alter. nanthera are used, because they can be kept within their proper limits by shearing and pruning, while the an nuals have too much sprawl to be tract able, and very few kinds give a suffi- cient mass of blooms to produce the desired color effect.
 We are likely to think that because plant has yellow, red or blue flow CTS, that it will prove effective wher ever these colors are desired, but we lose sight of the fact that the flowers will be so few in number and so far apart that there is seldom any solid color effect such as is necessary in properly working out patterns.
 This being the case. only the sim pier designs should be attempted with annuals. and only such effects aimed at. as can be produced by contrast in which harmony plays an important part
 Ribbon beds are easiest of all to make. Very pleasing ones can be made with pink, pale-yellow and white Phlox Drummondi. planted in rows. If darker colors are preferred. the scarlet and crimson can be used. al ways combining them with white to give the necessary contrast and re. lief
 Do not use the soft, delicate colors

CULTIVATION OF TREES
By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

The understanding of soil conditions is the principal thing to be considered in tree cultivation. Crops, climates and conditions are so utterly different in the different localities of our coun- try that a set of conditions Is prob lem all by itself.
 When the soil is well-worked around the trees of any kind, they are more thrifty and vigorous. A great many people stir up the earth between the trees, but leave the soil directly be- heath the trees untouched. This is mistake. Do not hesitate to apply fertilizer. commercial or barnyard, close around the trees. Allow gen. erous supply and see that it gets chance to sink into the soil deep. Your trees will have a different ap- pearance if this care is given them.
 In the heavier soils it is a fatal mistake to let the soil bake about the trees or vines This results in an unhealthy condition of the bark. and often fatal disease.
 For the finest development of your trees the soil must be brought to the highest point of thorough cultivation and kept there.

START SEEDS IN H0TBED
By L. M. BENNINGTON.

Flower seeds. which will have to be started either in the house or in hot beds are as follows:
 One package mixed verbenas.
 One package salvia splendens.
 One-eighth ounce mixed pansies.
 One package mixed double petunias.
 One package heliotrope.
 One package mixed geraniums.
 One package hardy garden pinks, mixed.
 One package coleus.
 One package eobea seandens tclimber). mixed.
 One package mixed carnations that bloom the first summer.
 One package begonia Vernon.
 One package mixed eanna seed. These should be cut at one end one sixteenth of an inch and soaked in warm water 24 hours and sowed in February in the house. You will not fail to be extremely pleased with the result.
 This list, of course. may be short ened or increased according to the size of flower bed or garden, but these flowers l consider the best varieties for really useful and handsome show ing.
 They can all be picked and used for decoration, and the more you pick the more you may, for picking the flowers does the plants good. and you and your friends will be benefited.

COULD NOT
 LIE ON SIDE
And Had to Sleep With Head High on Pillow, on Account of Suffering. Says Cardui
 Made Her We'll.

Laurel, Miss.-Mrs. Martha A. Cor bin, R. F. D. 4, of this place, writes: q am glad to write this letter and you are welcome to use it,. in any way you choose.
 T have had soreness in my side so that could not lie on it to sleep. The back of my head hurt me great deal too, so that had to lie with my head high on the pillow. Once a month l would have great deal of back ache... Then 1 would suffer from dizziness, which would be so bad l could hardly sit up and would have a very queer feeling in my head. The neighbors all advised me to have a doctor, but had heard great deal of Cardui and decided to take that. l swelled a great deal too... When that first began on me I would want to stretch and when I would stretch. the pain would run to my hips and shoul- ders.
 But began to take Cardui, and be- fore I had taken half bottle l began to feel better and the swelling began to go down. The pain began to dimin- ish and by the time I had taken two bottles I felt well enough to quit talk ing It. think 1t Is the grandest medicine that women can use"

with the stronger tones, as there IS a lack of harmony between them.
 Asters can be planted in rows of white and lavender, with very pleas ing results, provided the same kind is used in each row.
 If We were to use the tall, branch ing variety in one row and dwarfs ill another, the effect would be unsatis- factory, though the tall-growing sorts could be used in three rows one each of the eolors named, with the dwarfs as an edging or border, with very good results.
 Ribbon beds would become monot- onously tiresome if we were to con- fine ourselves to them, therefore 1t is a change.
 Next to them the circular bed is easiest to make. I would not advise too many colors.
 Have the center of one color-say lavender, if asters are used, then a row of pale pink with white in the outside row.
 This arrangement of colors can be varied to suit individual taste. If sweet alyssum or white candytuft Is used as an edging, the effect is height, ened, as these plants bring mass of foliage and bloom down to the ground, and hide the tall stalks of the asters.
 A very brilliant combination is made by filling the center of circular bed with calliopsis, and the softer shade of the same color in the phlox is charming
 If another color seems advisable, use pink phlox. This harmonizes beautifully with the stronger tones of the calliopsis.
 The center of a circular bed can be filled with scarlet salyia, with nas- turtiums as a border. The contrast between the fiery scarlet and the rich tones of yellow and orange and sul- phur found in the latter plant, is ex- ceedingly lovely, while the pea-green foliage of the nasturtium affords just the right amount of that color to bring into strong relief the blossoms of both plants.
 Such bed anyone can make with very little trouble.

 Within the last few years there have been formed 12,000 or 15,000 as sociations of one sort and another among the farmers, fruit growers and others looking to the economic han ding of their business. But there can b no adequate cooperation among farmers without the first essential of the best farming success-good public roads Improved highways mean i'm proved farming, increased values of farming lands. improved standards of farming products, improved banking mean. and facilities, improved country schools, churches and homes.

S3OO.OOO.OOO LOSS IS SEEN
Two Million Miles of Unimproved Highways in United States-Farm-
 CTS Blamed for Condition.

There are 6.500,000 farmers in the United States, the most of whom raise something for the market" says the American Highway association.
 They have been described by Dr. T. N. Carver, the Harvard university ex- pert in economics who was engaged last year by the department of agri- culture to draw plans for the organi- zation of rural community, as tenn peramentally an independent, head strong, individualistic class, and, therefore, difficult to organize. That they are difficult to organize is evi- denced by the fact that there are 2,000,000 miles of unimproved public roads in the United States over which they must haul their products to mar ket at a loss of approximately $300,- 000,000 every year, or about the total assessed value of property, real and personal. in South Carolina. That they are independent of good roads to their own great loss is evidenced by the enormous waste of both money and muscle in trying to do business HAlAOui SOOd AOauo tDOii dppoi ent lack of interest in compelling their representatives in legislatures and congress to provide highways for their service.
 Good roads are equally necessary to both the production and distribu- tion of farm products They are pre- requisite.' says Mr Houston, secre- tary of agriculture, in his last annual report, not only to economical produc- tion and distribution, but to the pro- motion of the broader life of commu- mites The great need, obviously, is for roads which will get products from the farm to the nearest railway sta tion, enabling the farmer to haul when he cannot SOW or reap, and to haul at a lower rate, to transport his children to consolidated schools and to enjoy comfortably his social enterprises. There can be, indeed, no such thing as community life without good roads. To assure such life there must be ease of communication and transportation, and, as Doctor Carver expressed 1t, tas the characteristic evils of urban life grow out of congestion, so do the characteristic evils of rural life grow out of isolation. Except for few rare souls. isolation means stagnation.'
 As rule, town schools are better than country schools because the means of transportation, or the streets and roads, are better in the te
 than in the country. On the so-calitd great highway between Washington and Richmond there is a stretch of about fifteen miles on which in the fall and winter farm wagons and auto- mobiles sink to the hubs and traffic is practically impossible, and this high way between the two capitals must be Judged by the soft and not the hard

The art of the milliner means more than the material she works with, or quite as much, anyway, in producing hats in which style is the strongest element. Here are two attractive and inexpensive hats, made of familiar fab rics, that demonstrate how cleyerly ideas may be interpreted in materials that every milliner has at hand. These hats are suited to any season, too, which is a great factor in their favor.
 The pretty model, with spangled crown and brim of ruffled malines may be made in black or in any of the colors in which spangled bands are to be found with malines to match. A crown of nacre or opalescent span gles used with cream-colored malines would make beautiful and very dressy hat. The rufile of malines is made of four thicknesses, wired for support and put on in box plaits. A half wreath of foliage and flat silk roses is applied at the right side and back. over the malines. This is one of those hats that are simple enough in construction to be made by the home milliner. She will succeed by making a faithful copy of it.
 The turban of satin presents also no great difficulties to the ambitious needlewoman. The frame is in two pieces, which are covered separately. The covering of the crown is plain, except for a fold in the satin which

 The lower part of the coronet is also covered with plain bias strip of satin. At the top puff of satin, or of faille or moire ribbon, gives the required va riety and finish.
