THE AMATEURS GARDEN.
BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN


Do not begin by planning a larger
garden than you can possibly care for.
Gardening is great joy, but it entails
much hard work and it should not be
contemplated in a light vein, for while
the results are worth all the effort
given to it, many back-aches are the
portion of the young and inexperi-
enced tiller of the soil.
There is, fortunately, a class of an
nuals which might well be called
''standbys," the kind which bloom well
under almost any condition. These
are the kind 1 would advise the anna
teur to work with.
Early sowing of seed enables the
plants to get a good root system.
Have a large bed of nasturtiums.
They are easy to grow. Petunias are
also beautiful and easy of culture.
The petunia may be made to renew
itself by going over the bed in Au-
gust and moving off the top of every
plant.
In a short time new shoots will be
sent up and from these, during the lat
ter part of the summer, you may eX-
pect flowers quite as fine in all re-
spects as those of early summer. In
order to keep nasturtiums bloming
throughout the season, do not allow
seed to form.
1t is often advisable with nasturti-
ums to cut off a good many leaves in
order to give the flowers a chance to
display themselves.
Do not use too much fertilizer in the
| cultivation of this plant, as rich soil
induces the development of luXeriant
| growth rather than the production of
| large quantities of flowers.
The garden that is without the an
nual phlox is missing a great oppor-
tunity for the display of beauty. This
plant is one of the very best we have
for massing. 1t is rarely satisfactory
when grown in small quantities or as
single specimen.
Exquisite in combina ton are the
soft yellOws, pinks and white varieties.
If you are fond of ribbon gardening
effects, this plant lends itself to it ad-
mirably. There are other colors, red,
scarlet, lilac, all good by themselves
but not effective when used in con-
junction with the more delicate tints.
Cosmos, were it not for it's late-fIow-
ering habit, would be one of our most
popular flowers. But unless it is pro-
tected, it is pretty apt to be injured
by the early frosts. If you are willing
to protect it around about September
20, by all means plant it.
For cutting, these flowers are su.
perb. In the long spell of pleasant
weather, which so often follows the
early frosts, it is most desirable ac-
QUESTION to the flower kingdom.
For hedge, there is nothing more
handsome than zinnias. These grow
to a height of three and four feet
they branch freely from the ground
up, and every branch will bear flow
ers by the dozen-large, small and
medium-and few flowers in the gar
den will give such a combination OF
color.
One Of the strongest arguments to
urge for the selection of this plant is
it's easy culture. 1t will grow as read
lily as cabbage.
In planting for a hedge, let the
plants stand about Is inches apart.

ABOUT PRUNING SHRUBS
By L. M. BENNINGTON.

In pruning shrubs it should be re-
membered that there are two classes:
One produces the flowers from buds
formed the previous season. Another
class from buds on the new wood Of
the present seasons growth.
Weigelia, lilacs, syringas, golden
bell, hOneysuckles, deutzias, 1ogwoods,
privets, viburnums, rhododendrons,
kalmias, azaleas, daphnes, and the
Towering currant, peach and crab, an
dromedas, Japan ounce, and hydran-
gea are some of the most generally
used shrubs that flower on the last
seasons wood, and in pruning any OF
these at this season the following buds
will be cut away.
Roses, burning bush, altheas, hyperi-
cum, hydrangeas grandifora and pani-
culata, amOrpha or false indigo, ge-
nesta, colutea and robina all flower
on the present seasons growth and in
most cases they will flower more free
ly if severely cut back.
In pruning be careful to make the
| cut close to the trunk To prevent in
jury to the tree, first saw through
large branches from below, six or
eight inches away from the trunk ;
then saw from the top a few inches
nearer the trunk until the limb falls.
| Then make a new cut close to the
trunk. This will prevent splitting and
| possibly tearing away a part Of the
| tree.
In pruning small limbs and shrubs
make the cut just above the bud.

ABOUT PLANTING SEED.

If you soak your seeds in water for
a few houSs, preferably warm water,
they will germinate more quickly.
Some seeds require this treatment.
Large, hard-shelled seeds like Gamma,
require careful filing to break the
tc.sgh, outer cover, but extreme care
must be taken not to injure the germ.
The sowing of fern spores on a
brick, covered with just a sprinkling
of earth, is an interesting garden
study. By keeping the brick in a pan
of water sufficient water is supplied.
Cypress vines will stand quite warm
water poured over the seeds II hours
before planting.
1t is scarcely profitable for the am
ateur to raise most of greenhouse
plants or similar delicate ones, though
geraniums and a number of the larger
seeds are as easily managed as pansy
or an aster, and one can get a good
variety at a small cost.
A good rule is to plant a seed twice
it's own depth, and in case of small
seeds it is essential to have the ground
finely pulverized.

NOTES

Make notes this year to guide you in
next years planting plans. If you see
a flower or shrub you admire, find out
the name and variety if possible.
Keep all the fence corners cleaned
out. More vermin are hnrbored there
than anywhere else on the place.
Give japanese iris plenty of water
to insure good blooms.
With nearly all plants it is neces-
sary to keep the flowers cut to pro-
long the bearing season. This is es-
pecially true of sweet peas.
Flowers that are not making salts
factory growth may be stimulated into
activity by liquid manure.
For late flowers of glaGiolus plant
bulbs not later than July 4. Put in
some tuberoses also.
Always keep on the lookout for pos
sible mosquito breeding places-rain
barrels, upturned cans, low places in
roof cutters, and liquid manure tubs.
Drain off or apply kerosene.

GERANIUMS ORNAMENTAL.

Beds of geraniums are exceedingly
ornamental, provided they are kept
In tidy condition. This can be done by
keeping all flower trusses picked off.
If the faded flowers are allowed to
remain, l know of no plant that can
take on a more unsightly, slovenly
look.
OF course all the buds in a truss
do not develop at the same time, and
one does not like to destroy undevel-
oped flowers, but the clusters can be
made to look clean and attractive by
pulling away from them all flowers
that have passed their prime and
taken on that bedraggled look which
so detracts from the slightly appear
ance of everything else in the bed.
Unless one has a great number of
plants, this can be done in a short
time.
1t will be found much easier than
going over the bed and cutting out all
the faded flowers, as is sometimes ad-
vised.

Sir Reerhohm Iree,s 1act.


AS most people who have the pleas
ure Of his acquaintance know perfectly
well, Sir Beerbohm Tree is very tact.
full man. He is also an exceedingly
critical judge of a good cigar, and
heartily detests the smell even of a
bad one.
He was alone in a railway carriage
when young man entered, and, sit
ting down opposite to him, puffed
away heartily at a "weed" too awful
for words. [
"Are you aware, SIR" inquired Sir
Beerbohm in his most impressive man
ner, "that this is not a smoking car
riageF"
With an apologetic remark, the
youth flung his humble smoke out of
the window. A minute later he OBJ
served incredulously: But-but you
are smoking yourself"
"Quite so," replied Sir Beerbohm
blandly, ''but thought you might have
conscientious scruples. Er-have one

The youth selected with alacrity
prime imported Havana from the prof.
fered case, lit up, and soon the pleasing
aroma from two excellent cigars per-
vaded every corner of the carriage.

Messrs. Smith & Sons of Vulcan
Alberta, are growers of wheat on
large scale and have demonstrated
that there is greater profit in Western
Canada wheat-raising than probably in
any other business anywhere. Speak
ing of their experience Mr.. Smith
says:

present time and am farming yearly
1000 to, 1,400 acres of land. My re-
turns from the farm for the past two

Western Canada's soil and climate
is suitable to graining large and prof
liable yields of wheat. Many so large
that those not acquainted with the
facts hesitate to believe the reports
sent out by the farmers in that coun-
try. As an evidence of their sincerity
in reporting correct yields affidavits

FARMING NOW
A BUSINESS
The Modern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on
the Farm.

A nationwide. cry is being made for
more economy and greater production,
and probably never was the need OF
foodstuffs equal to that of the present.
Grain prices are the highest in the ma
tion's history and today the agricul-
tural fields of America offer induce
ments that are unequaled in any other
line of commerce or business. The
ideal life is that close to nature, en-
joylng the freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling q duty to human
ity by producing from a fertile soil
that which is essential to the very ex-
istence of less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food
stuffs that can be produced so eco
nomically in the United States and
Canada.
High prices for all grain, undoubt-
edly, will be maintained for a number
OF years, and it appears a certainty
that the agriculturist will reap a
bounteous return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
of patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
ceptlon has been generally noticed as
to life on the Farm" 1t has been,
to a large extent, considered as only
a place to live peacefully and afford
living for those who are satisfied with
merely a comfortable existence. Such
a wrong impression has been created
in a measure, by the lack of systema-
tic business principles to farming in
general. But today farming and agri-
culture have been given supremacy
in the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
line of commerce. In no other busi-
ness does q system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and 1t Is certain
that there is no other line OF work,
that, generally speaking, needs 1t as
much. The old idea of getting living
Off the farm and not knowing how 1t
was made and following up the details
Of each branch of farming to. get the
maximum of profit, at the least ex-
pense, is fast being done away with.
Farming is now being considered as
a business and a living is not sufficient
for the modern agriculturist; small
per cent on the investment is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have a percentage return equal to that
Of other lines of business. The prices
for produce are high enough, but the
cost of producing has been the factor
in many places, that has reduced the
profit. 1t is the application of a sys'
tenn to the cost of various work on the
farm that 1t is possible to give figures
on profits made in grain-growing in
Western Canada.
Mr.. 9. A. Wright of Milo, Iowa
bought a hundred and sixty acres OF
land in Western Canada for $1,000 il
December, 1915, and took his first croT
from 1t in 1916. After paying for the
land In full and the cost of cultivating
il and marketing the grain, he sold his
grain at $1.55 a bushel Ga low price
compared with the present market)
had a surplus of $2,472.67. His figures

First Aids to Resuscitation.

An effective means of resuscitation
after an electric shock is said to be a
sharp blow on the soles of the feet
without removing the shoes. In all
cases, however, it is necessary to pull
the tongue from the throat, as the ac-
ton of the current is to cause a con-
traction of the muscles and the tongue
is drawn back into the throat, COM
pletely sealing the air passage. Part
of many first-aid equipments consists
of a device which will grasp the tongue
and hold it in a 'distended position so
the throat is open to permit of arti-
fetal respiration.
