PLANT TREES AND SHRUB
Berry
BY ELIZABETH VAN RENrHuYsEN

ny GIIZA6E n VAN BEN n " OEN
Looking over your grounds this
spring, note the effect of your plant
ing. If the place lacks trees and
shrubs, plan to make up the lack this
fall.
Don't forget some ornamental trees
and shrubs. Plant them in groups or
singly, but always leave open space for
grass.
CutIeaved birch is a favorite tree
is pyramidal in shape with dropping
branches.
The Japanese nipples are very beau
tiful, small trees in bush form with
vivid coloring of the cut leaves.
Many shrubs are more beautiful in
foliage than in flower, and some of
them carry their fruits through the
winter in bright colors.
In setting trees or shrubs, make n
hole wide enough so that the roots
can be spread out, avoiding twisting
and crowding as much as possible.
Work the soil in about the roots, leav
ing no spaces, and packing firmly.
Avoid planting trees between the
house and the street in such Il manner
as to hide the view from the windows
and doors.- To obstruct the outlook is
very annoying to those confined to the
house. Trees and shrubbery should
be placed so as to form n background
or setting for the dwelling.
Young trees should be carefully
watched and the open spaces in the
ground about them, which have been
made by the wind swaying the trees,
should be well firmed down.

AND CULTURE OF
HARDY ANIMALS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

Seeds of hardy ANIMALS should be
sown in April or May, according to the
latitude, in shallow boxes or pots and
placed in n warm window or n hot
bed A second sowing ought to be
made from two to four weeks after for
a succession, ms well as to provide
against failure the first time.
The most convenient receptacle for
seed is n shallow box from two to
three inches deep and of any conven-
tent size.
The best soil for all of the smaller
kinds is n very fine, rich, sandy loan.
The very best soil is that taken from
old hotbeds, or from old pasture land,
piled up in sods and allowed to rot for
two or three years and then mixed
with sand and little old stable ma
nure.
Give the tiny plants plenty of air
and moisture. yet not too much water,
or they will damp on" Get pots two
inches or more in diameter and plant
the young seedlings along the edges
of the pots, so that as soon as the
ground is warm enough they can be
easily turned out and planted singly,
as by that time they will have good
roots.
Do not cover seeds too deeply. This
IS Il common and disastrous mistake.
'rhe exception to this rule is sweet pea,
which is seldom planted deep enough.
A good, general rule is to cover only to
the depth of the thickness of the seeds
With medium-sized seeds like zinneas
n..d balsams and their kind half an
inch or so is none too much.
Tiny seeds like the portulacas need
only to be pressed into the soil with
the palm Of the hand. Always firm
the earth around flower seeds, else
there is danger of their drying up be-

SOME TIMELY HINTS

Have some fragrant foliage plants
and shrubs. The old kinds are fine.
Good results in raising plants de-
pend largely on the care given them.
No, something for nothing" in ma
ture.
Give the Gamma roots n place in the
hottest sunshine, feed plenty of ma
nure and water and mulch heavily
with barnyard manure.
Soak the hanging baskets twice a
week by setting them in n tub of wa
ter. The basket can be let down by
a pulley and drawn up without lift
ing.
Plant flowers for others, as well az
yourself, and don't forget to take a
bouquet for the church on Sunday.
One does well to consider the lilies
even while worshiping.
The old lemon lily is just az good
as it ever was, and just as beautiful.
When working in the dirt among
plants, grease the hands well with
lard, rub as you would with soap, then
wash in soapsuds.
Corn and potatoes are all right, but
give us little soul food in the way
of flowers and fine foliage.
Bloom is better than brambles and
roses will grow wherever brambles
will.
The best time to fight weeds is now,
before they get good start. Keep
right after them from the time they
show up, even before the seeds are
Sown.

soned, and thus made unpalatable.
Most of the cheaper foods require
careful seasoning and preparation to
be fully appetizing. In many house
holds, the specialists believe, proper
attention to the cooking of these cheap
and desirable foods will increase
greatly their consumption and thus
reduce considerably the use of more
expensive foods eaten instead of ce-
reals.
improper Cooking Is Blamed.
Vegetables properly prepared tempt
the appetite. When they are served
in soggy form or in watery or poorly
favored dishes, much of them will be
left on the table. The nutritive value
and flavor of meat or fish can be less
ened by overlooking or improper
cooking. If fats are allowed to burn
even little, they develop unpleasant
flavors and usually cause people to
refuse gravies and sauces made with
them or foods fried in them; burned
meat is also disagreeable as are
burned vegetables.
Much useful food gets into the garb-
age pail because the housewife, in
preparing potatoes or other vegetables
and fruit, such as apples, cuts off
with the skin n considerable percent
age of edible material. Careless par
ing of potatoes may consign as much
as 20 per cent of the edible portion,
including outer layers containing val
liable mineral substances, to the garb-
age pail. Many persons are unaware
that the green and tender tops of
many vegetables which contain valu-
able mineral and other food SUBJ
stances, are excellent cooked as
green, or even as addition to salads.
Many families take pride in serv-
ing lavish and over-bountiful meals.
Such meals lead inevitably to waste of
food on the table and to Over-eating,
which often impairs health and eff
cheney. The sane standard, Eat
enough food and no more" rigidly fol-
lowed, would reduce greatly food bills
in many homes and, at the same time,
tend to improve the physical condition
of all members of the household, de-
clare the government experts.

SUGAR Beet Seed,

Plant specialists of the United
States department of agriculture say
that sugar beet seed must be produced
in the United States. The sugar beet
industry, in which $100,000000 is in
vested, was almost wholly dependent
in 1914 on importations of seed. The
war made it very difficult to get seed
for 1916 planting and the situation is
now gloomy. 1t is believed seed of
good quality can be developed In this
country.
The Colorado statesman., 1917-04-28
Food Conservation Urgent
Need of the United States.

"For partial immediate relief,
every individual and community
should consider earnestly the
matter of food conservation and
the Limitation of waste. As u
nation we seem to have a dis
dain of economizing. In many
homes there is n strong feeling
that it is only decent to provide
more food than will be eaten
and that it is demeaning to
reckon closely. The experts of
the department of agriculture re-
port to me that the dietary
studies made by them point to
an annual food waste of about
S700,000,000 OF course, the
waste in families of very limited
means is slight, but in the fam
lilies of moderate and ample
means the waste is considerable.
Even If the estimate were re-
duced by half, the waste would
still be enormous.
"The food waste in the house
hold, the experts assert, results
in large measure from bad prep
aration and bad cooking, from
improper care and handling,
and, in well-to-do families, from
serving an undue number of
courses and an over-abundant
supply and failing to save and
utilize the food not consumed.
AS an instance of improper ham
ding, 1t is discovered that in the
preparation of potatoes 20 per
cent of the edible portion in
many cases is discarded."-Se
retary of Agriculture Houston.

SOLVES SUBMARINE
MENACE IN BOSTON
Duke Of Bloomington Inserts
Johnson in Crisis.

BOSTON, June 27.-Mister Griffith,
known along the Sea, Bee and Queue
as the Duke of Bloomington, directed
the solving OF the submarine menace
at the Fenway yesterday, the gunners
o. the Griffmen collecting twelve base
knocks of blonde Carl Mays, the Ore
gon Adonis. The hnal score was 3
to 2, w. rerry johnson being pre-
scented along in the middle of the
eighth stanza when the boys of Barry
started cutting UP at Jim Shaw's ex-
pense.
The Griffmen drubbed Carl in every
inning but two, and Ihis is the second
time this season that Shaw has beaten
him, although Jimmy had to ring for
assistance yesterday. Jim was hit
''rawther" hard, as they would say at
the tennis and noise club, and 1t was
miracle that he escaped on several &C.
casions, this being due to the high
class support he was accorded.
The Griffmen played smart baseball
throughout the pastime, breaking up
double steals. the lift and run, the
squeeze, and almost every other thing
the champions started.
Miguel MenOsky There.
Miguel Menosky, the Polish beauty,
drove In two OF the runs, and scored

with this layout, of course, nobody
would ever suspect that Barry was
going to try the squeeze. but some
body did. because Shaw pitched out
twice.
On the second ball Mays and Hooper
started. Barry even threw his bat
at the ball and stepped across the
plate, but could not reach it. Mays
was trapped as he was running back
to third, and Dineen would not allow
