DAISIES
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

No flower In all the garden series is
more beloved than the star-eyed daisy,
or marguerite. And, perhaps no flower
has undergone a more decided i'm
prOvement than this same flower, which
fills the meadow spaces with its nod
ding white and in better soil looks
stately from the garden path.
The daisy should have place in the
garden. They make delightful Dor.
ders to beds of taller growing ANIMALS
and can be used very effectively in
beds of spring blooming bulbs.
Daisies may be sown in March, and
later for succession, in shallow boxes
of light, rich soil. Cover the seed to
about three times their own thickness
and press the soil firmly over them,
Keep the box in a warm window.
greenhouse or hOtbed.
Transplant to new boxes and set out
in the open ground when danger from
frost Is past. Daisies can be sOwn In
beds outside in August or September
They must be protected with straw or
litter through the winter and trans
planted to their permanent position in
the spring.
The South African orange daisy has
become u great favorite. 1t was intro
duced II few years ago and has been
made much of at the flower shows and
is used largely on big estates. 1t is
excellent for borders and as pot
plant.

Perhaps the greatest capacity per
square foot of ground within the fOun-
dation walls is possible with the So
called square" type of house. A
house of this type is very easily di-
vided up into rooms without necessary
loss Of useful space. Furthermore,
the appearance of the square house is
altogether pleasing, as may be seen
from study of the accompanying per-
spective view.
In the design illustrated, the walls
Of the house proper are finished with
stuccO, while the sun parlOr, porch,
chimney and foundation wall above
the grade are built of brick. In house
of this size the combination of stuccO
and brick is striking. The color and
texture Of the brick surfaces may be
selected with the object of producing
the effect which is most pleasing to
the owner and the stucco is capable Of
various treatments to bring out the
desired effect.
The rooms are arranged in very
pleasing manner. In the large recep-
tion hall an open staircase is built.
Double doors lead off to the living
rooms. In the main living room
brick fireplace and two bookcases are
the most attractive features. Glass
doors having an ornamental window on
each side are placed between the main
living room and the sun parlor. These
two rooms give the house a splendid
basis upon which model home may
be founded.
The dining room and kitchen are
connected by pantry built out from
the rear wall of the house between
these two rooms. The arrangement
is very convenient.
Four bedrooms and bath are pro-
vided on the second floor. Every room
is well lighted, Of good size and full
height. There is a balcony above the
porch, the roof being covered with
deck cloth and waterproofed.

LATE PLANTING OF EVER
GREENS

The best time to plant evergreens is
early In the spring just when the new
seasons growth is starting. 1t Is a
mistake to plant too early; but If the
planting Is delayed until June, the
trees are not apt to do well unless fire.
queptly watered and mulched during
the summer months.
Some planting is done in August, but
/ do not believe an inexperienced per-
son can make his trees grow when
planted so late.
Nurseries frequently put out their
evergreens in July and August, but
more from necessity than choice, be-
cause they are too busy during the
spring months to do the work.
When evergreens are planted late
they should be thoroughly watered and
a dust mulch maintained around the
roots until winter sets in.
It is difficult to tell by the looks of
the trees whether they survive during
the late summer or not, as very often
they retain their verdure some time
after they are dead.
In the spring, however, trees that die
turn brown within two or three weeks.
The better time TO plant evergreens, is,

GARDEN NOTES.

If the garden has been thoroughly
cultivated early in the season, there
is little wedding to be done. Yet, a
few late weeds will strive for suprem'
acy if not conquered.
One Of the most persistent now, as
earlier, Is the chickweed, which grows
in such dense masses as to choke out
everything else. Keep 1t cleaned out.
If thrown into pile 1t will be decOm-
posed in a few weeks into light soil
rich in humus.
If the cabbages are slow about head
ing, or the heads lack flrmness,
sprinkle with salt and water. This
will also tend to KEEP the worms down.
Because you have plenty of land,
do not think it is Of no value. Have
you used your garden to the utmost
capacity? Intensive gardening has al
ready come where there Is most profit
in the occupation. If you have not ap
piled this principle, see how you can
get more out of the ground.
Dandelions are coming into general
favor in America for salads. The fla
vor is greatly improved by blanchlng
the leaves. To do this, place an in
verted flower plot over each plant for
awhile before the leaves are gathered.
This salad Is favorlte among connols-
seurs.
Before applying liquid manure to
plants, the soil should be mOistened
by watering with clear water, unless
the soil is already moist. Apply the
liquid manure to the soil without
sprinkling it over the plants.
Where manure is available, a spade
full or more tied up in coarse sacking,
in tub Of water affords a
good way to make the liquid.

SOLD SHOTGUN
FOR TEN DOLLARS
And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $4,000.

Lawrence Bros. of Vera, Saskatche-
wan, are looked upon as being amongst
the most progressive farmers In West
ern Canada. They have had their
"ups-and-downs," and know what 1t
is to be in tight pinches. They perse-
vered, and are now in an excellent
financial position. Their story is an
interesting one. Coming in from the
states they Travelled overland from
Calgary across the Battle river, the
Red Deer river, through the Eagle
Hills and on to Battleford. On the
way their horses were stolen. but this
did not dishearten them. They had
some money, with which they bought
more horses, and some provisions.
When they reached Battleford they
had only money enough to pay their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river
and this they had to borrow. It was
in 1906 that they filed on hOmesteads
having to sell a shotgun for ten dol.
lars in order to get sufficient money to
do so. Frank Lawrence says:
"Since that time we have acquired
altogether a section and a half Of
land, in addition to renting another
three quarters of a section. If we
had to sell out now we could probably
realize about $4,000, and have made
all this since we came here. We get
crops in this district of from 80 to
80 bushels of wheat to the acre and
oats from 40 TO so bushels to the acre.
Stock here pays well. We have LOO
sheep, 20 cattle and GO horses, of which
a number are registered Clydes."
Similar successes might be given of
the experiences of hundreds of farm
ers throughout Western Canada, who
have done comparatively as well. Why
should they not dress well, live well,
have comfortable homes, with all mod
ern equipments, electric light, steam
heat, pure ventilation, and automo-
biles. Speaking of automobiles it will
be a revelation to the reader to learn
that duripg the first half of 1917, 49,
600 automobile licenses were issued in
Alberta, twice as many as in the whole
of 1916. IN Saskatchewan, $1,000 IL
censes were issued up to the first Of
May 1917. In it's monthly bulletin for
June the Canadian Bank of Commerce
makes special reference to this phase
and to the general prosperity of the
West In the following:
Generally speaking the western
farmer is, in many respects, in a much
better position than hitherto to in
crease his production. Two years Of
high prices for his products have en-
abled him, even with a normal crop,
to liquidate substantial proportion
of his liabilities and at the same time
to buy improved farm machinery. His
prosperity is reflected in the demand
for building materials motor cars
and other equipment. 1t is no doubt
true that some extravaganza is evil
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor cars, but it must be remembered
that many Of these cars will make for
efficiency on the farm and ecOnOmize
both time and labor."-Advertisement

been eliminated from the tive-roOm de-
Sign-in addition to its ordinary use,
which must not be interfered with.
OF all the rooms in the average
house, the bedrooms are actually used
fewer hours than any other rooms.
Consequently, if the bedrooms can be
eliminated, maximum saving of space
Is accomplished. How may the living
room and the dining room Of our three
room house also be used to serve as
two bedrooms? The problem has
been solved in the disappearing bed.

the Wise Man. Consider her ways,
and be wise!" Once there was a slug
gard, and when he read these ringing
words he determined to take the Ec-
clesiast's advice. So he went to the
ant and started in to consider her
ways, says the Cleveland Plain Deal
er. But, unfortunately, he picked a
day in which the anteater was also
getting busy. And as the sluggard
considered, the anteater ate ants az
was his nature. In fact, he didn't
cease eating until the supply was ex-
hausted. Then the sluggard went
back home and resumed his ancient
occupation Of slugging. Having con.
sidered the ways Of the ant, he was
wise.

But where is the bed during the day

in a closet, folded back into wall re-

the net result will show good saving

II these closets are made fairly large.
