NOT TOO LAT TO KILL FLIES

Kill flies all the year round. y,
says Mrs. Lena A. Warner, health
specialist, division of extension, Uni
versity Of Tennessee, Knoxville, in
commenting on prevalent diseases,
"Flies spread sickness. -, she says.
These formulas for killing flies are
not injurious to plant life or detri-
mental to manure to be used as fer
tilizer. They will not kill chickens,
To kill flies in maggot stage use one
half pound powdered hellebore and
ten gallons Of water. Mix well and
let stand for "a hours. This is a suf-
ficient quantity TO spray about eight
bushels Of manure. Use once a week.
To kill matured flies use one pound
Of arsenate Of soda, one pint molasses
and twelve and one-half gallons of
water. Mix thoroughly. This is suf-
ficient quantity for spraying about
twelve bushels of manure. Use as
long as necessary; in other words, I'M
til there are no flies around the barn
and manure piles. Keep the solution
out of reach Of the children. Both for
mulas are poison.

Gettine ! Start for the Spring

Who doesn. It like the first tender
green onions and the first mess Of
spinish in spring? The way to get
them earliest is to plant this fall.
Onion seed planted now will make
strong little plants by freezing
weather that with a little protection
will go through the winter where the
climate is not too severe, as in the
most Northern States. Even harder,
however, are the several perpetual. !"
onions, such as the Egyptian or Peren-
NAL tree onion. and the POTATO and
Wi White Multiplier, some Of which
should be grown in every home gar
den.
Asparagus and rhubarb roots may
also be set out in the fall as well as in
the spring, thus not only getting an
earlier start the following spring, but
saving time when the gardener has
more to attend than he can usually
find time for. The advantage of both
these things is that they will yield
year after year without replanting,
and they should be given a place in
every home garden.
Get the Frames Ready.
In many gardens there are few
sash. for starting plants early in
the spring. II the soil in these is
prepared and planted now, using crops
that would not have time to mature
out of doors in your section, a good
many dollars worth of vegetables can
be got from a very small space, and
they will be much better than stuff
shipped in long distances to market.
Such things as beans, beets, car
rots, radishes and turnips and onion
sets can be planted where they are
to grow; while lettuce, endive, kohl
rabi, caulifiower, etc, may be started
to be transplanted later. The soil
should be made very rich; but should
be fresh and clean, avoiding old COM
post from other frames and all other
possible sources of plant disease. One
of the most common mistakes made
in frame gardening is to let the vege-
tables grow too thickly together. Am
pie thinning is even more necessary
here in the garden, as there is less
circulation Of air and sunshine. Let
tuce, etc, on the other hand can be
planted closer than in the garden, the
plants being set seven to nine inches
apart each way:

"The military masters of Germany
denied US the right to be neutral.
They filled our communities with
vicious spies and conspirators. They
sought to corrupt our citizens. : 7
They sought by. violence to destroy

CARRYING THE GARDEN
THROUGH TO SUCCESS

Only a small proportion Of home
gardeners take advantage of the
several opportunities which late
planting offers for adding to the re-
turns from the tail end Of the sea-
sons gardening, and the front end of
next years garden While the ma
jority Of the vegetables cannot be put
in now, the few which can make it
we'll worth while.
Another opportunity frequently
overlooked by the home gardener gardener Is
to neglect to get at least one fall
crop out of his cold frame or hot
bed. By waiting until hard freezing
weather before planting it is too late
to utilize a number Of things which
are available if planted now, so that
they can be well along by the time it
is necessary to get the glass over
them
Radishes and lettuce are Of course
the two popular vegetables which are
ready for use the soonest from seed
sown in the open. For planting at
this time only the earliest sort should
be used, such as Scarlet Globe, White
Icicle, etc, in the radishes, and
Grand Rapids or Black Seeded Simp-
con in lettuce. The heading varieties
of lettuce take little longer than
these two, but have time to mature
HI all but the more Northern States
if sown Immediately. Wayahead, Big
Boston and the little but delicious
Mignonette are among the best.
The two quickest growing turnips-
and, what usually is not true of earl
lest varieties, two of the best in table
quality--are Extra Early White Mi
Ian and Petrowsli. The latter es-
pecially is not nearly SO widely known
as it should be; while it attains only
medium size, it grows very quickly,
and is extra fine and sweet in flavor.
Kohl-rabi takes a little longer to ma
ture than turnips, but it should be
used when very small to be at it's
best, it may be still planted.
In beans two Of the quickest matur-
ing varieties are Burpee. Is Stringless
Greenpod and Longfellow. Beans are
more tender than any Of the things
mentioned above, but in the home
garden it is not difficult matter to
protect the row or two last planted
from the first light frost, after which
we usually get couple of weeks of
good weather during which they viii
bear freely.
Getting Quick termination.
With all Of the above of course
time is a vital element in these last
In most sections of the
country we have had ample rains to
keep the ground moist right up until
the present time. But unless the soil
is actually damp at planting time,
several days or a week can be gained
with all these things by soaking the
seed before planting. If you have
never tried this, do it with at least
part of each of your late paintings
this fall, and note the difference.
Simply let the seeds soak in enough
water to keep them covered for "a or
48 hours before planting. When ready
to plant, roll them in a little dry road
dust or ashes to absorb the surface
moisture, so that they viii not stick
together.
