First Of all, avoid cutting up the lawn by
Eeh foolish looking absurdities as round,
quare diamond, crescent or anchor shaped
sts Such things are not being done nova
lays, except at railway stations or out-of-the-
Wy parks. Flowers should be arranged in

OF course heliotrope, begonias and verbenas
can be bought as small plants and set out
in the place where they are TO remain, after all
danger of frost is over.
Since our purpose Is to show how economical
" a beautiful garden can be planted, we are
suggesting the purchase of seeds as much as
possible instead Of plants. One plant may
cost five cents A fye-cent package Of seeds
will furnish sometimes one hundred plants.
Perennials are more difficult TO grow from
seeds, therefore, are generally purchased in
the form of small plants.
Perennials cannot lightly be tossed into tho
ground where they are to remain, as can the
accommodating ANIMALS. AS n general thing,
they must be started in cold frame or hot
house and later lifted into the place they are
TO occupy permanently. Thus more ground Is
needed for their raising and more time taken
in their cultivation.
THE BACKBONE OF THE GARDEN
Therefore, the culture Of perennials Is
greater drain upon the purse than ANNALS.
However, there are certain perennlals without
which no garden seems complete They are, as
it were. the backbone Of the garden, the de-
pendabe old friends we cannot do without
All seedlings raised in cold frame should
be transferred to their permanent positions by
the end of August or the first Of September so
that their roots may gain good foothold be-
fore the frost comes. Seeds are generally sown
in May and June. They require winter pro-
lection.
Hardy and satisfactory perennials that
should be in every garden are here given In

1t enhances the beauty of the flowers by serv-
ing as foil and prevents disorderly confusion
and sense of crowding.
ANIMALS are by far the most satisfactory OF
all flowers for the amateur because they are
the easiest of all to grow. They make the
quickest showing and therefore are invaluable
for the new garden. Animals can be depended
upon to make the new house seem like home,
for they will quickly cover the scars of earth
left by the builders
ANIMALS furnish the vines that will cover the
porch in a season. They will run over the
ground like a very tide of color in but few
weeks. They are also the most inexpensive.
One dollars worth of seeds of ANNALS will
make most astonishing field Of color. No
garden can be conducted properly without an
nuals
COMBINE PERENNIALS WITH ANIMALS
True the perennas are more satisfactory
in the long run. They will come up year after
year after once being started, yet it is almost
impossible to plant garden with perennials
that will furnish a continuous bloom from
early spring to late fall.
Therefore every garden maker plants his
main design, the background as it were, OF
perennials and fills in the delicate details with
the ANNALS 1t is quite possible to make
continually blooming garden with ANIMALS
alone but it is almost impossible to make one
of perennials alone.
ANIMALS are CHEEKY, hardy, willing little aids
to gardeners. Besides, they furnish us with
the most satisfactory of all flowers for cutting

Hotel Heated With Tractor

Carlisle.-What is believed to be
the most novel and satisfactory solu-
ton of furnace trouble is seen in the
heating of the Cumberland Hotel at
Carlisle, with an outside tractor en-
CINE.
When the steam heating plant
"went on a strike" the guests Of the
hotel suffered no inconvenience, be-
cause steam traction engine was
steered to the side of the hotel and
pipes attached to the steam pipes in
the bduliing and the problem was
solved. The entire buildings thirty
rooms have regular heat now. and the
furnace can be repaired without in
terruption.
Proprietor Kline says if the engine
were a permanent fixture, and not UNI
slightly outside of hiring an extra man
for engineer, he'd as soon have it as
furnace. He does not recommend
its extended use, however, on account
of the trouble in keeping curious in
vestigators out of the machinery.

ENDLESS CHAIN LETTER

The endless chain fad-fake of let
ter writing to friends has afflicted
many communities in past years and
it would seem that the old chestnut"

no one would be foolish enough to

son of Lowell received one of these
letters recently, signed by a friend,
as follows:
Endless Chain

to bless our Sailors and Soldiers and
keep them from all harm and bring
them back to dwell with thee for
Jesus sake.-Amen.'
'This prayer has been sent to me
and / am sending it to you to spread

sent all over the world; try it and see
what happens"
"This prayer was done in ancient
times. All who took heed were free
and all who failed to do so met with
Send one for seven days
to seven different persons and on the
seventh day you will receive great
pay. Start this as soon as you read
this. Do not break the chain"
From a friend.
Mrs. Johnson answered the letter
through the Lowell Ledger as follows.
ITO my unknown friend:
"In answer to the letter / received
of the 25th, can find better use for
my time and money than to write and
mail threats, also l give my friends
credit enough, to know how to pray,
