TIMELY HINTS FOR THE
HOME GARDENER

Washington, D. c.. April 9.-Many
home gardners are asking the spec
ialists of the u. 5. Department of
Agriculture whether it is safe to plant
any vegetables in the open ground
while there is still some likelihood
of light frosts. To aid these home
gardeners the specialists have work
ed out the following grouping of COM
mon vegetables according to their
ability, IL planted in the open, to with
stand spring frosts- These directions
of course. do not apply to the plant
ing of seeds in hotbeds or seed boxes
TO secure plants which afterwards are
to be transplanted.
GROUP PLANTS not injured by
light frost. These may be planted
as heavy frosts are over or usually
as soon as the soil can be put in
good condition. Cabbage, Irish pota-
toes, early peas (smooth types as
distinguished from wrinkled), onion
sets. salad crops. such as kale. spin
ach. mustard. At the same time start
in seed boxes in the house or hotbeds
tomatoes. eggplant. peppers. cauIi-
flower.
GROUP p Vegetables which
shooid be planted only after danger
of hard frost is over. Lettuce. rad
ishes. parsnips. carrots, beets. wrink-
led peas. early sweet corn
GROUP 3.-These should be plant.
ed after ali danger of frost is past
String beans. sweet corn uate varie-
tiesD. \ few early tomato plants
may also be set out, but care should
be taken to protect them from any
sudden chilly weather. by providing a
shelter of newspapers, boxes. etc.
GROUP 4.-This group should no,
be planted until all danger of frost
is past and the ground has begun 10
warm up. Included in this would be
cucumbers. melons, squashes. pump
kins. Lima beans. tomatoes. eggplant
peppers. Plants of tomatoes, egg
plant and peppers which have been
grown in boxes or hotbeds should be
ready TO Sc; in the open at this time
In order TO insure a steady sup
ply OF vegetables. crops like peas,

PLANTING THE BUSH FRUITS
Recommended by New Jersey Station
That Raspberry and Blackberry Be
Six Feet Apart.

The New Jersey station recon-
mends that raspberry and blackberry
plants be set about three feet apart
In the row. Six feet is the minimum
distance between rows, and Black
cap raspberries and blackberries will
often do better II the rows are seven
feet apart Such strong growing va
rieties of blackberries as the Ewing
Wonder or Black Diamond are easily
cultivated and handled when set at a
minimum of four feet apart in the row.
Dewberries are usually set with the
rows six feet apart. Currants and
gooseberries are set four feet apart
in the row. with six feet between
rows.
Early planting OF bush fruits is very
important II the buds and shoots
are broken on after starting. the sec
ond lot does not develop immediately
and. the plants therefore do not get a
good start. The Blackcap raspberry
requires more care in planting than
the red raspberry or blackberry, be
cause its roots are developed in a
cluster, similar TO those of the straw
berry All plants bearing rot gall
most destructive disease. are thrown
out.

SERVICES AT PENITENTIARX ON
EASTER SUNDAY.

The services at the state prison
were OF more than ordinary interest
last Sunday when Easter day was
more or less entered into. The prison
band rendered three very inspiring
selections as the opening numbers.
Mrs. wolfenberger sang a beautiful
Easter selection which was so much
appreciated by the large audience
present. that she was compelled to
respond with another number in res
ponse to an enthusiastic encore. Her
daughter. Lillian. presided at the
piano. This was followed by a choice
Easter selection BY the choir which
was very happily rendered and
much appreciated by all.
The services were in charge OF the
Rev. s. H. Sperry who preached an
Easter sermon TO the editicatiou of
those present whose attention gave
evidence OF their appreciation.

CLEAN THE PATHS OF WEEDS
Mixture Of Arsenic and Water Applied
in Ordinary Sprinkler Will
Save Much Labor.

In summer when weeds and grasses
grow rapidly in the paths in flower
and vegetable beds. and one does moi
care to be continually digging up the
paths, or causing the earth to be
loose by pulling the weeds. the paths
may be kept pretty free from weeds
and grass by applying the following SO
ultion with an ordinary sprinkler;
Take five ounces OF powdered ar
senic. and one gallon of water. and
boil the arsenic and water together
stirring constantly as the mixture
boils for several MINUTES. When thor
oughly mixed by this process, add two
gallons Of cold water. and Is half pound
OF soda.
The paths should be dry when thi:
is applied. one-half the quantity car
be used IL there is not much space tC

This will save hours of very irk

PAULINE

From the Providence Journal.
 A dispatch from Appleton, Wis, an- nounces that Pauline is dead. She was in the best of health up to a few days ago. Then she took suddenly i'll and died. A post -mortem revealed the sad fact that she had swallowed a alarming needle and that it had worked its way to her heart.
 Pauline was the worlds champion cow She was the recipient of high honors everywhere. During one summer of Pres ident Tafts administration she supplied the White House table with milk and cream. She browsed in placid content ment and waxed fat in the park grounds back of the state, war and navy depart ment building during that summers so- journ from her Wisconsin home. R. J. Shaefer of Clayton, her owner, refused to sell her at any price, but he was will ing to loan her to the President. She was a Holstein and was considered by her owner more valuable for breeding purposes than for the dairy produce she yielded, although her record for butter produced in a single year amounted to 2SSS pounds.
 Especially at time like this it is a source of regret to have to announce the passing of such a glorious specimen of her race. We need more rather than fewer cows in the United States, and particu- larly more general and reliable producers like the late lamented Pauline.
