CARE Of YOUR

SOME VALUABLE IMPORTATION AS

$ GARDEN PLOTS IN SPRING.
OUTDOOR PLANTING
HcndersOnvflle Housewives Give In
creased Attention to Ornamental
Flowers and hrubS.

An increasing interest in the plant,
ing and care of ornamental flowers,
especially of roses, is plainly noticea-
bic among the women of Henderson

A few timely suggestions concerning
roses and annual flowers that are
placed in ones yard are here offered
HendersonVille thrifty housewives.
Pruning Rose Bushes.
Climbing roses should not be pruned
at this time except for the removal of
surplus branches. every bit of wood
removed now reduces the amount of
bloom the plant will bear during the
coming season. Roses used in border
planting should be treated in exactly
the same way as other shrubs, except
that many of these species will be i'm
proved hK having all their old wood
cut, away onee In every five or six
years This would mean cutting all
the old canes on within three or four
inches of the ground and forcing the
bush to throw up entirely new wood
3 Roses used for cut flowers, like the
hybrid perpetua1s, the hybrid teas
and teas, should be severely pruned.

Pruning OF the hybrid teas and teas,
however, should be left until the

Outdoor Flowers.
/ Those planning their flower beds for
the coming seasons should remember
that certain annual flowers can be
started in a seed bed and later trans
fered- to q permanent bed, but that
other annuals do not take kindly to
transplanting. The following annual
flowers which can be stransplanted give

BIG FIRE in

Augusta, Ga, March 23:-Fire which
has caused damage estimated, at from
$4,000, 900 to $S,OOO,O0O in the heart of
Augustus business district, and the
adjoining residence district, still burn
ed briskly early today, in residential
sections, under the influence of a high

whe nthe flames could be controlled,
but expressed the hope that owing to
the smaller buildings now in it's path
the fire would respond to efforts to
quench it.

bed and until there is no longer like
hhood of heavy frost in the locality.
A good test to- determine whether the
garden soil can be worked well is to
take up a mass of it in the hand and
compact it into a ball. If this ball
readily falls apart, the ground is dry
enough to be worked. It is particu-
larly important in planting flowers
to spade up the ground, fine it thor
oughly with hoe and rake and remove
the stones and Jumps from 1t. The.
actual surface should be made very.
fine and soft. In planting each kind
OF seed the directions as to. depth Of,
planting should be carefully followed.
Flowers that can be sown in this way
are;
Ageratum, Alyssum. Aster, Pot ma
rieold. Galliopsis, Campanula, Clarkia
(sbadeJ. cockscomb, Dahlias, single
Godetia, Gailfardi. Mignonette, Pansy,
Plnks, Rudbeckia, Snapdragon Stocks,

/ Most Of these may be sown earlier
in n hotbed or cold frame and thus be.
mede to bloom sooner.
AnnuaIs Injured by EFaHspIanttng.
Certain flowers, however. die or do
not do well If they are tansplanted.
These, therefore, should be. sown only
in the open ground or beds where the
pants are to grow. The varieties
which it is best to SOW in permanent
location are;
California poppy Candytuft, Corn

CUTTING HAIRS FROM UDDER
From Sanitary Standpoint and Com.
fort to Cow While Being MIXED,
FiIaments Are Detrimental.

It Is not at all uncommon among
dairy cows to find the udder covered
with a thick growth of long hair, which
may be of some protection to the udder
IN some respects, but from sanitary
standpoint and comfort to the COW
while she is being MIXED, these hairs
are detrimental. Under the usual farm
conditions this growth Of hair Is COM
monty covered with filth, and even in
well-kept diaries this hair, unless kept
we'll clipped, will collect more or less
dirt and trash.
In many cases, too, these hairs will
persist in falling into the milk pail
To prevent occurrences such as these
the udder should be clipped closely at
least twice each year, and in this way
prevent the accumulation of filth.

SOAP as an Antiseptic,

Some medical authorities, explaining
the abatement Of epidemic diseases in
modern years, are sufficiently free
from professional ties to attribute this
betterment of conditions, not to medi-
cal science but TO increased use Of
soap and water. The Homeopathic
Envoy is of the opinion that with a
clean house and a clean person no one
need have much fear of infection. A
writer in the New York Medical Rec
ord says: "Soap is now recognized to
be antiseptic and to be etlicacious must
produce a lather. Bacteria rubbed
into soap or dropped on it's surface are
incapable Of multiplication. The ty-
phoid bacillus is very sensitive to soap.
being killed by Il 5 per cent solution
in a short time. More than half the
total number will die in one minute.
The thorough use of pure potash
soap is not only mechanical method
Of cleansing. but is an active factor in
cutting down germ life"

practically maintained herself and pro-
duceu milk upon succulent feed; she
will soon be returned TO the barn where
she will spend the greater part Of each

keeper to see to it that his COWS are
housed as comfortably as possible and
provided with a goodly quantity and
variety Of palatable feed that will nOur-
ISL her abundantly and help her pro-
ducc an even flow Of milk.
The right kind of COW will repay
with interest every cent invested for
her comfort-fOr warmth, light, venti.

fortably housed her returns will be
cut down in proportion to her dscOm'
fort.

PLANTS WITHOUT SUN

The best plants for sunless rooms
are ferns and palms and perhaps the
best one of all is aspidistra.
The aspidistra has long, narrow
leaves and dark green and yarlegated
coloring 1t requires a good soil of
loan, we'll rotted manure and sand in
about equal parts and must be kept
moist but not wet.
Ferns require the same treatment
One of the hardest palms is the Kentia
balmoreana. It's foliage is less affected
by the heat, dry air and dust Of house
than most of the other varieties.
The asparagus is good for a house
plant both for Its beauty and for cut
ting purposes. Some of the little pines
make decorative and hardy house
plants.

CLEANING Furniture.

If wood surface With a GLOSSY
finish" looks dull it is generally be-
cause it is dirty. An almost imper-
ceptible film of grease has gathered
upon it and holds the dust. Wash
the entire surface very quickly with
a cloth wrung out of a suds made from
fine soap. and dry Immediately with
a soft cloth or chamois. After the sur
face is absolutely dry, if it is a var
nished surface, it can be rubbed with
soft cloth dipped in oil. Boiled lin
seed Oil is good. Silk and channels
are especially good for rubbing finely
finished wood.-Alrs. D, n. 8.

PLANS FOR BEAUTY

When planning for next years gar
den decide on a rockery for the back
yard. There are many bulbs that are
excellent for rockcries. Scillas, which
are of Il beautiful deep blue, do we'll
in the shade; spring snowflake, with
white flowers tipped with green, and
snowdrops are excellent for rocker
cries.
NIuscaria or grape hyacinth, GRO
cuses of various colOrs, will thrive
and take care of themselves once es-
tablished in the rOckerieS or In Dor
derS in the garden, where they will not
be disturbed.
The beauty which is near at hand
is often neglected for the prize that
is denied uS-we refer to the beauty
and deslrability of the Celastrus, or
bitter-sweet vine. This native climb
err found In our woods and along
fences, is one Of the most satisfactory
vines that can be grown about the
house.
The Celastrus is as hardy as gran
lite, a quick grower, twining securely
about its support, and it is not liable
to disease.
In the fall when flowers are scarce
it covers itself with clusters Of orange
colored fruit, which the frost opens
revealing it's crimson seeds.
