WIFE is MADE HIS RECEIVER
That He Could Not Get Along

There was story in the American
Magazine in which a man who hasn't
been able to get along on his salary
installed his wife as temporary re.

Here is part of the story:

thing I'm going to have a nerve smash

LUXURIANT FLORA OF CHINA
AppeIIation "FIowery Kingdom" Singu-
IarIy Suited to the Land of the
Yellow Race.

From time immemOrial China has
been called the Flowery kingdom, a
name given by the Chinese themselves
and singularly suited to the land which
for ages was like an oasis of flowers
Of the spirit in the world desert of bar
barism, says a writer in Scribner's. In
this oasis grew the arts of the bronze
and stone worker, of the Silkmaker and
embrOiderer, of the potter, of the paint
or on silk, Of the poet, philosopher and
ethical devOtee. But China was not
named the Flowery kingdom because
of these flowers of the mind. Her flora
is one of the most luXuriant in the
world. 1t is estimated to consist of
some 10000 species, 5000 of which
are known and one-half of which are
indigenous and not found elsewhere.
Such being the flora of China, it is
readily understood that horticulture
and gardening early became a skilled
and honOred profession.
The Emperor ShOn-nung (2737-2705
B. c., known as the ''Dlvine Labor
er" and also as the Father of Medicine
and Husbandry, dispatched collectors
to all parts of the empire to bring in
plants of economic or medicinal value
for cultivation in the imperial gardens.
We have more detailed information in
regard to the horticulture and garden
ing carried on by the Emperor WI I'll
(14O-S6 B. O., whose agents brought
from distant parts many plants that
have been identified.

There's a new use for Uncle Sans

covered it, to the delight of their city
friends. It's sending posies from the
rural garden to lure the cliff dweller

Flowers may be sent as far as the

fragrance or freshness on the journey,
provided they are correctly packed.
But not all flowers are good travellers.
There is little use in trying to share
the beauty of bed of poppies, cannas,

if they are picked when only partial,

the petals and stems are full, they will

to try them. Most any soil will do for
them, but like the wild varieties that
always manage to get into patch of
leaf mold or other good soil, the tame
varieties will do much better II they
are given a fairly moist and rather
fertile place to grow. Moisture is very
necessary or the berries will be small.
hard and tasteless. In picking Wild
blackberries, did you ever notice that
the finest, biggest, sweetest and black

woods and In low, moist place?
Put out the blackberry cuttings IN
rows just as soon as the frost is out
of the ground. Leave plenty of space
between the rows for full-grown vine
takes up an amazing amount of room.
Put the canes not closer than three
feet apart in the row. In little while
after the vines get a good start they
will mat together in such a way that
you can't get through them unless they
have been given plenty of room from
the start.
Garden Crop Between Rows.
II the spring is wet the berries will
get along all right, but if there is
long dry period within a few weeks
after they are put out it will be best
to water them a little from time to
time. The first two or three years after
they are put out some sort of garden
crop should be grown between the
rows, as this will loosen the soil and
help the blackberry canes.
1t is good plan to continue the cul-
tlvatiOn indefinitely, as the vines will
choke each other out by growing be-
tween the rows if they are left undls-
turbed. Little canes will start up all
summer long unless they are kept
down by cultivation. If left to them
selves they will quickly take up all
the space between the rows of older
canes.

ticed Do this pruning in the win
