desirable. BY swing in May or June,
plants large enough for all decorative
purposes can be had. In after treat

hardy growth as possible.
Cineraria is one of the most useful
and ornamental of plants. with flower
of the richest and most brilliant coIOrs
and shades and of the finest textures.
For succession, il is well to make
sowings of the seed from May to Sen

the conservatory and for house decor

dears 1t to growers; there are the love

COMBINING CITY AND COUNTY
BY Cutting Expenses There Would Be
More Money to Spend on Public
improvements.

Mayor Campbell of Houston has
started a discussion of a proposal to
combine city and county governments.
and eliminate one set of officers. The
writer advocated that several years
ago, but plans to reduce the expense
OF government were not then as much
In favor as plans to increase 1t.
There is no sound reason why a
commissioners court and a city COM
mission should both be required for
legislative service, nor is there any
apparent need for the double service
of a city and a county police force.
Many other Implications could be sug-
gested equally wasteful.
The city and county Of st. Louis
are Identical. New York and London
are under the same single system Of
government. So it cannot be urged
that the plan will not fit a city.
The truth is that the American sys-
tenn seems to be based on a demand

man to hold an office who wants one

80 HELPS
WHEN LAYING OUT A CITY
Proper Planning, by Adding to Its APP
pearance, Bound to Bring OesIr-
able Financial Results.

Are we LAYING out, for instance, a
new suburb? Is il not better and more
businesSlike. and more likely To pro-
duce adequate financial results if we
determine beforehand which of the
streets are likely to become great traf-
fic thOroughfareS and to give them am
pie width of broad macadam of paved
surface, providing only in the resi-
Dental streets sufficient paved surface
to allow two tradcSmen'S carts to paSS
and laying down the remainder in trees
and grass, in way which will save
the rate-payers large sums and at the
same time make the street or boule-
ward more desirable place in which 70
live?
Such instances could be multiplied
a thouSandfold. The results. so far of
practical city planning will convince
anyone that the scope. influence and
finance of city planning are so much
subject for the earnest consideration
OF every man who is good citizen and
loves his city and his fellow citizens.

Pulverize the soil in the trench be-
forc sowing your seeds. To depth
of three inches see that the soil is eX-
qulsitely fine. Sow the seeds in a
double row about ten inches apart,
above two inches below the surface,
and tread down firmly.
Arrange brush for trailing the vines,
the brush should run from five to eight
feet above the ground. II is good
plan to arrange these supports when
the seed is sown.
Sweet peas suffer from dry and hot
weather. Water them frequently and
thoroughly and give them an applica-
ton of liquid manure once week.
Apply a good heavy mulch Of long
straw manure around the ground
around the sweet peas, as soon as hot
weather sets in. This keeps the ground
from drying out and keeps the soil
cool.
The life of the vine is greatly length
ened if every seed-pOd is removed as
soon as they appear and by the con-
slant cutting of the flowers.
A partial shade during the hottest
part of the day is very essential to Sc
cure the best color in the blooms.
The greatest enemy sweet peas have
is the cutworm, and they often prevent
getting n stand of good sweet peas.
They usually take the young shoots as
soon as they appear. Watering with
lime water helps to keep out the cut
worms. A handful of grass dipped in
a solution of paris green will some
times attract and extermnate the
worms.
