RUSSIA WILL Be Big
MARKET FOR AMERICA

PETROGRAD, Nov. 2O.-Pointing
out the possibility for development Of
American trade in Russia after the
war, the Commercial and Industrial
Gazette suggests that the part to be
played by Americans will be great.
Russia" says the Gazette, "in the
near future will play the part of buyer
rather than seller, and therefore it is
necessary that American commercial
men should be well acquainted with
the demands of the Russian market
and with the conditions of buying and
selling IN Russia In order to obtain
this, the Americans should organize
an experienced staff of travelling
agents, with good knowledge of Rus
sian. The agents, by coming into cor
tact with Russians. would soon get ID
know the needs of the Russian market,
and would be able to suit American
products to Russian needs, so that
they would be above all competition.
The same method of carrying goods
by means of agents should also be ap-
a condition to export to America, such
piled to products which Russia is in
as wool, beet-seeds, clover-seeds, etc.
Parallel with this, it would be de-
sirable to form in Russia staff Of
trained mechanics and engineers, who
should undertake the management and
developmet of railways in Russia
There is no doubt that after the
war Russia will have an extensive
market for agricultural implements,
which branch of trade has always been
of great interest to Americans. There
fore it would be to Americas advant-
age to have large staff of enlightened
workmen in Russia, to which end, the
Americans would doubtless willing
ly throw open the doors Of their in
dustrial schools and workshops to
Russian workers. On the other hand,
Russian institutions would also will
ingly take in all Americans DESTROYS

Almonds.

1 ral branches furnish the blooming points on geranlums and most flower ing plants. and the more of them that can be forced to start, the more flow CTS one has during the winter. Do not select plants that have bloom- ed profusely during the summer for 1t is against nature to expect them to keep it up during the winter. Above all, after deciding which plants shall be potted for the winter display. keep all the buds pinched out-do not let Il single blossom develop until the plants are established in winter quarters.
 Do not leave plants in the bed until forced by cold weather to take them in. Plan to pot them while the wealth CT will permit having the house open. making the change a gradual one, for plants lifted and taken at once into closed fire-heated rooms must show the effect of the treatment.
 Another thing to be considered Is this: Plants growing in the open ground make a root-growth that very soon goes far beyond the limits of an ordinary pot, or tub. To crowd these
 
 roots into pot too small for them is to bruise them and cause decay. The better way, by far, is to cut down all around the plants th a sharp spade or knife, ten days or two weeks be- fore the plant is to be potted. The sharp, clean cut heals quickly and if the soil Is well watered (Soaked) be- I fore attempting to lift the plant, one gets complete ball of sound roots, well covered with soil that goes into winter quarters with very little eyi- dence of having been disturbed.
 Each of these points taken singly will seem a little thing. but each has decided bearing on the beauty of the mid-winter floral display and for that reason each is, in reality, an import ant point.

Some State Flowers.

One of the most fitting and beautiful of state flowers is the moccasin flow CT. or lady slipper, the emblem of Nm nesota. one of the loveliest of orchids. as well as tAe commonest. Another fine and appropriate selection is Cali fornia's golden poppy, or Eschscholizia charming and decorative. Equally appropriate is Colorado's blue colum- bine. the beautiful rosy bitterroot of Montana, the peach blossom of Dela- ware. the wild sunflower of Kansas, Louisiana's magnolia, Nebraska's gol- denrod, Utah's Mariposa lily, the Texas blue bonnet and Dakota's purple basque flower, or pulsatilla. West Vir- ginia has pre-empted the rhododen- dron, and while New Mexico and Ari- zona have both taken the cactus, Ari- zonas is the giant cactus, with a white blossom. and New Mexico's has beau tiful rose-eolored bloom, altogether un- like the other.

PLAN FOR FUTURE BEAUTY
By LIMA R. ROSE.

We who grow plants in our rooms do so for the beauty of their foliage flowers, or both. and get the pleasure from them to just the degree that we can bring them to their utmost perfec- tion. To attain this, (with plants of any kind) one must know their char acteristics and requirements and con- slider whether available conditions in the home are adapted to the plants desired
 If plant standing in the open beds, or in sunny southern windows is mak- ing grand showing of flowers, or brilliantly eolored foliage do not get one like it expecting the same results unless 1t can have similar conditions. The same results cannot be secured If the plant is put into shaded or north ern window.
 On the other hand primulas and oth- CT plants that produce perfect flowers In cool, semi-shaded rooms will not prove satisfactory in place adapted to those needing more tropical condi- tions. The plant-lover who expects to have all sorts of plants grow and bloom In the same window will certainly be found wondering why some of them do not come up to expectation.
 Even the texture of the foliage needs l to be taken into consideration for rough-leaved plants, that are injured by frequent washngs have no chance to develop beautiful foliage in room where furniture needs dusting every day.
 Space is another factor that makes for satisfactory window-g gardening. for certainly half a dozen plants de- eeloped to perfect form and good size are vastly more beautiful than twice that number of deformed specimens crowded into the space.
 The question as to whether plants should be turned or not is frequently asked, and some people say: "Oh, don't turn them, they will not bloom,' and so on After years of working among plants I hold this opinion on the sub i iect: Plants grown solely for their beauty as seen from the outside will serve the purpose better If never l turned, leaving foliage and flowers drawn towards the glass, but ordinar- fly they are grown for the adornment of the room and the enjoyment of those inside and should be turned of ten enough to keep them symmetrical in shape, for lop-sided plant show ing all its stalks (to those in the room) is not very ornamental.
 Very often plants are bedded out for the summer and then potted for the winter garden window, and almost as often the potting is delayed until the plants must be taken in or frozen and the result is lot of plants that need good share of the winter in which to recuperate.
 If they are growing where crowded, sacrifice a few branches from the sur rounding plants in order to give them space for shapely development then pinch out the ends of the branches on the selected plants to force the forma- ton of lateral branches. These late

Many a man has fallen down because a est of his water showed unmistakably that he had kidney disease.

 The sentry's orders are that 'in cases not covered by instructions, he is 10 call the corporal of the guard" At night it is the corporal who Is called to make the arrest in case the sentry catches anyone trying to cross his post; and he must be continually on the job, not only when his relief is on post but also during the preceding relief
 Powers of Leadership.
 But 1t is guard duty in time of war that calls all corporal's powers of leadership to the force. This Is called exterior guard duty and consists of outposts during q halt and advance, flank or rear guards during an ad- vance or retreat. It includes all that Is commonly called patrolling. Bodies for this duty may be larger than a squad, and may be under the com mand of q sergeant or even com missioned officer. if the duty is i'm portant enough; but here again the squad is the normal body to use and the squad leader the man put in charge if he is capable.
 Every reader is f:miliar with the thrilling tales of patrolling from the trenches. and knows of its importance in the securing of details of informa- tion too minute for the airmen to pick up. The reconnoitering patrols have always been considered the eyes of an army. and even the airplanes cannot altogether take their place. Whether corporal does any or much of this sort of work depends on the ability of the individual. and if he does well in this he soon ceases to be Il corporal, for the qualities required in good ad. vance guard or outpost work are those required in much higher grades than that of corporal.
