The large American tobacco con-
Germs are keeping their representatives

Of the new tobacco fields in Macedonia.
These have suddenly come into Inn
portance, apparently because of some
chemical quality of the soil Of Mace

the production of tobacco. 1t blends
with other grades.
The American demand for 1t has be-
come such that there is now more

WHEN A GIRL DECEIVEs her OWN HEART
Ry LAURA JEAN LlRBEY.

TO know If Shey have indeed shared a
masculine heart. one foolish maid Wen
say out of fifty, takes it for granted her
caller is in love with her, whether he
has limited at such a contingency or
not. It's cruel. the way some women
treat their poor, helpless hearts, by
permitting them to be deceived so
easily. They shouldn't take ii for
granted that mans heart is meshed
by the tender passion until he admits
it in unmistakable words. If John
grows weary of Lucy's company, ind
ing new flame 10 his liking, Lucy
stirs up trouble for her poor heart by
setting ii TO grieving most unmerci-
fully She doesn't think of there be-
ing as good fish in the sea as ever
came out of it. Down she sits and
worries, bordering as to how to get
tickle John back. The same story is
repeated by the new sutton who comes
on the scene. Her poor heart is COM
PEELED to go through the same perform
ance, and probably yet again. Such
girls should take a leaf out of the
fiirt's book, and say with her:
'What care how fair he be
If he be not fair to me?"
The girl who can control the emo
lions of her own heart has learned one
of life's greatest lessons. There are
women who do not learn this lesson
until several eligible men have crossed
their path, and gone their way. 1t is
usually the young man she sets her
heart against who wins such girl ut
last.

What though our eyes with tears be wet.
Life may hold gladness for us yet,
II / could have my dearest wish fulfilled
And take my choice of all earth's treas
ures too
Or choose from heaven whom or whatso-
eer / WILD.
I'd ask for you.
It's hard when ones own heart may
lead one far afield The hearts Of
women offend more often in this way
than do mems. Take, for instance the
fact that young man calls on young
woman score or more of times. She
will argue, in her own mind, that he
must care for her, or he wouldn't be
coming so often. The plain truth may
be that John lives in boarding
house. He has no heat in his
hall bedroom. The water in the
pitcher is frozen solid and the frost
on the windowpane is frozen an inch
thick. He must either freeze in the
chair or go 10 bed. He remembers Il
her parlor, the cake and hot coffee she
brings for him when he calls Why
wouldn't he seize his hat and HE off

rives as early and stays as late as he
can? 1t he didn't talk interestingly to
Lucy. andacast sleeps eyes at her, he
wouldn't be welcome. He lodges clear
of all sentimental subjects. Therefore
how is he to suppose the girl Is de-
ceiving her heart into believing he is
in love with her and his proposal Of
marriage Is only matter of time?

the top should be reduced in proper
ton to the loss of root area. in order
that the newly transplanted and unes.
tablished plant may be able tc secure
sufficient moisture and food TO supply
the demands of the top. The roots
should be pru2ed, So as TO pro-
tect them against decay, by cutting
leaving the cut surfaces smooth and
in such position that they will come in
contact with the fresh earth. After
the plant becomes established certain
branches will grow more rapidly thar
others, and the appearance of the
plant will be spoiled by this unequal
growth. Pruning should, therefore.
be resorted to in order to preserve
symmetrical development of the plant
without rendering it artificial or for
NAL in appearance. Care should also
be exercised during the early develop
ment Of plant to maintain uniform
distribution of branches around the
central axis. if it be tree, so as TO in
sure a symmetrical and pleasing form
at maturity.
At planting time the excava ton pre-
pared for the reception of the tree
should be of sufficient depth to allow
it TO be set as deep as 1t stood in the
nursery and large enough to accom-
modate the roots without bending
them, while the earth in the bottom
of the hole should be loOsened at least
one spade length below the general
floor of the hole. In replacing the
soil over the roots of the plant thin
layer of earth should be placed i'm
mediately in contact with the roots
and thoroughly pressed down by
trampling in order to bring the par
ticles of soil in close contact with the
feeding roots of the plant. The hole
should then be filled and the surface
| left slightly above the general surface
of the surrounding ground.
The bays of curved walks and drives
should be filed with groups of shrubs,
so that if there be no natural object
for the road to make a curve around,
the plantation will serve as substi-
tute for one, and in so doing produce
one of the highest effects which can be
secured in landscape gardening. By a
judicious use of plants In the bays of
| walks and drives new and unexpected
features in the form of vistas, lawn
pieces, or specimen plants can be
| brought before the observer, thus pro-
ducing pleasant surprises and holding
his interest. The plantations show va
rieties as well as serve the purpose of
marking the walk.

POULTRY NOTES

A poultry man should never make
good resolutions with his fowls unless
he has a deep, lasting liking for his
hens.
If the hens were as uncertain In
their laying qualities as many Of their
keepers are in keeping with their
annual resolutions, the price OF eggs
would never come down to the level
of the average mans income.
Too much, rather than too little,
care is better for the welfare Of oil
kinds OF poultry.
Just now the egg question is one
that should encourage all keepers Of
poultry to make the most out OF their
fowls.
A good fresh egg, Ii placed in a
basin of water, will lie on Its side
while a bad one win stand up on the
small end.

Prosperity.

It's easy 10 haul on the level
A skid-road that's smooth as q floors
You may have to work like the devil
And pull till your shoulder is sore;
An even hill may not best you.
A little upgrade now and then.
But there is a road that will test you,
The test of both horses and men,
An that is the downgrade, my brother,
The place where you don't have to puus
The easy road, somehow or other,
Is one that OF trouble is full
The road up the hill you can master,
The long haul that's level may beat,
But when things are pushin' you faster
That's when you must keep on your feet
Hard luck seldom conquers a fellah,
A fellah the regular kind;
But when you will quit, II you're yellab,
Is when things are shown behind.
Right then is the danger of ditchin
Is when you are wantin' to run
So brace yourself back in the britchin'
An keep in the middle, my son!

BEST SPRAY FOR RASPBERRY
Canes Bordeaux Mixture Is Rec
commended as Efficient.

In many localities there is no neces-
sity whatever of spraying raspberries.
There are several diseases which de-
stroy the canes, however. To prevent
these. 1t Is well to spray with bordeaux
mixture, made from five pounds of
stone lime, five pounds of copper sui
phate, and so gallons of water.
The first spraying should be applied
just before the leaves come out in the
spring; the second spraying when the
leaves are about half grown. and the
third spraying just before the blossoms
come out.
There are a few insects for which
it is occasionally necessary TO spray,
but they are not at all common.

Scare the Birds.

Many complaints are heard that
birds eat lettuce as~fast as it appears
above the soil, also snip mignonette,
peoples and many young ornamental
plants. The question usually asked is
how TO kill the birds. This is course
we would not pursue. Stick In few
stakes and tie to the tops short strings
to which are attached bits of paper or
cloth. Still more effectual are bits OF
bright tin or bits of mirror glass.
When the birds become accustomed to
the objects, move them, or put In
few new and striking ones. This meth
cd may not improve the appearance
Of your garden and may provoke
neighborly questions as to your sanity.
but it will protect young plants.-Los

caladium. The castor bean grows
rapidly, is easily propagated from
seed, and comes true TO variety, at
fOrding in one plant a wide range in
color of foliage and in stature. This
plant frequently grows six to eight feet
in height from seed, even as far north
as New York, in single season. Its
broad-spreading habit. together with
Its attractive foliage, which in we'll
nourished plants is retained well down
to the ground, renders the castor bean
very satisfaction makeshift or sub
stitute for shrubbery where screens
and masking masses are needed. The
trouble with all such makeshifts is
that they produce an effect which lasts
for q few months only, while with
shrubs the benefit is lasting and they
serve quite as useful purpose in the
way of shelter belts and screens in
winter as during the summer. For the
sake of variety, the caladium ana
Gamma can be used to good advantage
ia connection with the castor bean.
The tall habit of the Gamma and the
broad leaves of the caladinm render
them we'll fitted for massing. Such
plants as the castor bean, the Gamma,
and the caladium can be used to good
purpose in shrub borders and masking
groups before the shrubs are suf-
ficiently grown to produce the effect
desired. Even after the shrubs have
grown sufficiently to accomplish the
end sought an occasional mass of cas-
tor beans, asters, eulalias, or arundo
interspersed at intervals will lend va
riety and life to the groups.
There are several varieties of shrubs
that can be planted on the farmyard
lawn which will greatly enhance the
beauty of the place. One of the most
graceful of these Is the weeping null
berry, which will produce perfect
mountain Of foliage. Its long branches
fall to the ground on all sides, COM
pletely hiding the trunk of the shrub.
The golden syringa and golden elder
are SO attractive. and both grow very
rapidly Feathery hemlOcks are also
desirable shrubs to have in the yard.
Every farmer should have some shrub
berry. After it has once been installed
in the yard 1t will prove Its worth and
command as much attention as any
other branch Of outdoor gardening.
In addition to a well-executed gen.
eral planting plan the successful de-
velopment of place depends on the
preparation and fertilization of the
soil, the pruning and planting of trees
and shrubs, and the making and main
tenance of a greensward.
The nature of the plantations upon
a city lot or suburban place is such
that the main part of the cultivation
must necessarily be done before the
plantations are made. The soil should
be thoroughly pulverized, brought to a

les of q garment; they
mask by covering unsightly objects.
Vines have a peculiar value lin deco
iratve planting In that as class they
are shade enduring; yet many of the
Cess decorative plants of the group
thrive to perfection In full sunlight
Since many vines will thrive in partial
shade as well as in full sunlight, they
lend themselves well to porch and ar
Dor decoration. A few have the power
TO attach themselves to bare walls,
thus making them extremely useful
IN covering rough brick, stone. or
wooden walls, giving them an effect
'of age, beauty, and appropriateness
which cannot be produced by artists
and architectural materials. Two of
the best vines for covering walls are
the Boston ivy ana the English ivy
Vines which attach themselves TO
Fire or wood supports and are chiefly
valuable because OF their covering and
shading effects are the clematis, with
all its varied forms, the wisteria, the
trumpet flower, and the Actinidia and
lAkebia, both valuable cover plants.
For sandy regions either as soil
binder or as an arbor or trellis cover
none OF the vines is more useful than
the japanese honeysuckIe. There are
many other good honeysuckles grown
Ior decorative purposes, but none is
more rapid-growing or freer from in
ssect pests and fungous diseases than
the Japanese honeysuckle. In this
catalogue of valuable vines two more
of our native vines justly merit high
places--the five-fingered ivy and the
bittersweet.
Annual vines may also serve a use
full purpose about new place. The
perennial woody vines are slow grow
Ing, and usually make but little shade
or protection during the first two or
three years after planting. With an
nual plants, however, the case is quite
different. Many annual climbing vines
have n profusion of leaves, grown rap
idly and iuxuriantly, and afford SIM
pie, inexpensive, yet satisfactory
means of securing an immediate
screen. For best results with these
plants special attention to early plant
ing, often indoors, is essential. When
planting-out time arrives. place them
In a rich, well-drained soil, and at all
times maintain an abundant supply of
moisture. Under such conditions use
the moonflower, the mOrning-giory,
the cypress vine, the hyacinth, bean,
nasturtiums for low screens and
lattices, and the wild cucumber Tor
taller structures. Rustic SUMMER
houses and arbors may be very beau
tifuIly and satisfactorily adorned with
