In making corn bread be sure to get
the proper kind Of meal; otherwise 1t

OF cornmeal. one-half cupful of milk, a
pinch Of salt, piece of butter the size
of an egg, one-half teaspOonful of bak-

he says for men to report that they
have increasing difficulty in hearing
the commands. That is attributed to
the constant vibratory movement of
the submarine, the straining Of ears to
hear above the noise Of the engines
the presence of cold drafts Of air down
the matches while operating on the
surface, the excessive heat while run
ming submerged and the inhalation Of
gases given off by the batteries and

CUTTING THE ROSES.
How to Remove the Flowers Without
injuring the Plants,

How to Remove the Flowers Without
injurng the Plants.
There is IL right as we'll as wrong
way to cut roses. If not cut cor
rectly the blossom producing proper
ties OF the plants may be seriously in
Jured This applies particularly, of
course, to rose plants chosen and
grown especially to supply cut flowers.
Such roses will be largely of the per-
petual blooming sorts.
When rose is cut from such plant
only two or three eyes of the current
seasons growth Of that branch should
be left on the plant This should give
the roses very long stems. Succeeding
blossoms should be cut to the ground
1t will seem like destroying the bush
to take so much off, but If the object
is the production Of roses the cutting
away of the surplus wood will simply
further the desired end.
II the spring pruning has not been
sufficiently severe the plant is likely
to have long. naked stalks and short
stems to the flowers. In such case
only one or two strong leaf buds
should be left on the branch when the
flower IS cut, so as to stimulate as
much growth as possible from the base
Of the plant.
The temptation is great to leave
wood where there are two or more
buds on one branch, some being small
when the terminal one is open. This
bad practice can be avoided by pinch
ing off all side shoots after bud hal
formed on the end Of branch, thus
leaving the stem perfectly clean and
willowy.-Popular Science Monthly
