PLANT FOR BEAUTY
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

A tropical effect can be obtained by
planting a round bed with Q few
castor-oil plants In the middle. with
tall.growing cannas around them.
Use elephants ears for the border.
A glorious hedge is obtained from
saliva. Plant triple row Of the red
sage, as 1t is often called. Set It. but
early In June. and let It grow un-
checked until 1t is blaze Of color.
II the aphis attacks the sweet peas
spray them with strong soap suds.
Give heliotrope rich. porous soil.
composed of, leaf mold, thoroughly
rotted manure. and sand to make 1t
friable. 1t requires good drainage
and plenty of water ami will not thrive
In heavy sour soil.
Ever-blooming larkspuf is a novelty
that has proved hardy and beautiful
It grows to q great height, four or five
inches tall. and is a constant bloomer
As a hardy perennial Of great beauty

riot of gorgeous coloring and a great
improvement over the oldtime lark
spur.
Sow mignonette every two weeks
until the middle Of July. There is no
flower so fragrant and r Is easily
grown and will supply plsnty of per-
fume for the home rooms.
Much better than the commercial
fertilizer is well-decayed manure. It
supplies humus. which improves the
capacity of the soil for holding mois-
ture and admitting the air to the
roots.
Take care OF the palms and plants
that have been growing in the house
all winter. Do not expose them to
the full sunshine OF the garden. Keep
them in a secluded spot until they
become accustomed to 1t.

Locomotive ls Blamed.

Locomotives. ii has been proved. are
the largest contributing cause to for.
est fires. An investigation recently
made along the White mountain and
southern Appalachian mountain ranges
shows that of 500 fires occurring
in 1914. 3l9 were due to sparks
from the smokestacks of locomotives.
In the state of Virginia 80 per cent
Of the fires were traced to locomo.
tives. Out of 272 fires 227 were start.
ed by engine sparks.
The fact becomes one Of vital in.
terest to the federal authorities since
the loss in the national forest reserves
of the West alone amounted to s677..
900 in 1914. This represented among
other things the destruction OF 3i0,-
100000 feet of merchantable timber,
injury to private lands, destruction OF
young trees. etc.

In this way. as can be seen by study
ing the perspective view and the floor
plans OF this design. The general
outline OF the house shows compact.
sensible plan. but there are many
decorative features that make this
house very distinctive and original.
For instance, the method of con-
structing the bay windows at the two
front corners Of the house on the sec
ond floor. with their attractive
brackets, is a most pleasing and deco
rative method of finishing these cor
ners. Small hip roofs are placed over
each OF these bays and also over the
dormer facing the front Of the house.
The combination Of these with the
larger hip roof covering the house
proper makes a pleasant roof design.
This house is set well above grade
on concrete foundation-a type Of
construction that is usual In the cool.

generally more satisfactory to place
SIN porch in the back, as 1t will be
more private and will consequently
be used more than 1t will II placed
in the front, where everyone on the
street can see into 1t. Five windows
are placed along the wall of the din
ing room, so that 1t will be almost
as bright and sunny as the sun porch.
The kitchen is small and compact,
and is arranged so as to minimize the
labor connected with it's operation. A
small pantry is placed in the back
and adds to the usefulness OF tine
general plan.
The second-floor arrangement calls
for four bedrooms, bathroom, and q
sleeping porch. There is also little
alcove built into one Of the bay win
dows at the front corner that can be
used for sewing room. A central
hall is included that makes all the
rooms readily accessible without going
through any OF the other rooms to get
to them. Plenty of closet space is
provided. as each bedroom has a
closet and there Is also one in the
bathroom and one in the hall. Addi.
tional storage space can be secured
in the attic, which is lighted by a
dormer window.
The window seats in the two bays
at the front corners OF the house on
this floor are very attractive fea.
turs Of this pleasing. economical house
design.

oles Will Case Again at Issue.

Boulder.-ln the District Court an
affidavit was filed by NJ, NJ. HANNA,
an accountant, asserting that the doc
ument. upon which Mrs. oles bases
her claim for a major portion of the
100000 Macky estate, was tampered
with before the civil suit began. The
affidavit asserts that certain pencil
tracings were lot on the paper when
HANNA examined 1t in 1910. The civil
suit was lost by Mrs. Oles, who later
was acquitted on a charge Of having
forged the instrument.

HYDRANGEAS

In the spring hydrangeas should
have some branches cut out at the
bottom to give them more compact
and sturdy look. They should occupy
sunny position III the garden and be
protected from the cold winds Of au
tumn. When the buds begin to swell
in the spring cut the branches at the
bottom and the plant will quickly
throw up shoots that will produce large
heads of bloom.
The plants should be watered occa
sionally with liquid manure.
Hydrangeas make good house
plant II good air and sunshine are
given them.

Hardy phlox can be transplanted at
any time, preferably In the spring or
early fall by dividing the old clumps.
Plant in April about fifteen to eighteen
inches apart and pinch the tops back
when about four inches high. The re-
suit will be that the, will give a maxi
mum Of fiorets and = very large head
of bloom. Give an occasional dressing
Of manure or manure water.
When very large mass of plants Is
desired. pinch back about one-third Of
the stems about May and about three
weeks later another thiro should be
pinched back. This lengyhens the
season Of blooming and adds to
their beauty.

HAVE A FLOWER FARM
BY z. VAN eENrHUYsEN.

The demand for choice flowers never
iails and the big cities of the United
States sell enormous quantities. They
must be fine though.
The city man who wishes flowers for
q special decoration does not care how
much they cost II they are the best
that can be grown.
Flower farming is an agreeable oc-
cupation. But little help is required.
The costly adjuncts, such as curing,
drying. housing and storing are not
required. Plants increase In value.
and once q place is going 1t continues
to increase in productive ability with
each year.
Flower farming does not require rich
soil, but 1t must be quick and respon-
sive. Some of the requirements for
success. however. demand that your
farm be located near railway station
and should have the convenience of q
telephone. ice or . cold spring. and a
good road to town.
Start In a small way. Be content to
buy from 100 to 500 plants each year
until your plants get old enough to d.
vide and build your stock from. By
starting in a small way you will ac-
quire the necessary experience to cope
with the situation and understand the
workings on larger scale. No book
knowledge can compare with q years
actual experience.
There are many plants that increase
prodigiously. Others take several
years to be strong productive plants.
The hydrangea will pay for itself in
q single year. The peony takes longer
to arrive at perfection.
II planted in the fall the peony will
bloom the first season, but young
plants are apt to be too quick In get
ting out in the spring and the buds
may be injured by late frosts. One
thousand bushes three years old will
produce 10000 flowers.
The dahlia is good flower to grow.
1t can be planted June /, come into
bloom about August Is, and will be in
full bloom by September. 1t is a free,
easy early bloomer, has bright colors,
long stems and good plump tubers.
The peony must not be overlooked.
Its requirements are simple, yet at a
few periods they are very easily dam
aged.
Plants that are kept dormant by be-
ing dug in the fall may be planted until
June with fine success. When plant
ing peonies in clayey ground they
should be set about four inches deep,
but in light, sandy soil or loamy soil
five or six inches deep.
Never use much manure the first
year on newly planted peonies. and
never overmanure them. Cultivate
them about three inches deep, then ap-
ply about one inch Of manure and
work well into the soil in the spring.
Plant peonies in the bright sunshine
away from trees that are liable to
shade them or whose roots may sap
the plant food in the soil where they
are planted,
Peonies are grown from q division
Of old plants and also from seed. It
takes from five to eight years to come
into full bloom from seed.
To get the best results from phlox
they should be planted new each fall
or spring and given plenty of water
while In bloom.

useful because Of the light that is
