Seeking Permission.

Old John Gargoyle lived only for
his garden. 1t was to him what a
growing son is to other men.
At the end of it stood a telephone
post. and the other morning GargOyle
watched with feelings of horror a tele-
phone mechanic climb his back wall.
He descended into the garden, bring
ing with him about a dozen loose
bricks, and fell full length into a bed
of sweet peas.
He picked himself up, dragged q
heavy ladder across a patch of lettuce
and dropped 1t into a cucumber frame.
Then he took a short cut, in his hob
nailed boots, across some vacant beds
where many precious bulbs were in
termed.
Finally, after slipping over a clump
of priceless roses, he appeared under
the dining-room window, where Gar
goyle stood in speechless fury.
"'Scuse me, SIR" he remarked. "but
the telephone people are very particu-
lar about us trespassing on private
ground where we have fixtures. Can
/ have permission to enter your gar
den, sir?"

SWEET SULTAN.

The peculiarly sweet. spicy smell OF
sweet sultan has always endeared this
useful member of the centaurea fam.
lily to gardeners, and, moreover. this
is very useful flower for cutting,
as II lasts wonderfully well and is
light and graceful.
The older forms Of sweet sultans,
are. however, nowhere as regards size
and splendor with the improved i'm
perialis grandifiora. This is immense in
flower. The flowers are large and
soft, of thistle shape, with beautiful
hlament petals of pinkish lilac, and
there Is a white variety, not pure
white, but with primrose tint, which
Is exquisite as table decoration, but
less effective In the border than the
mauve one.
These giant-flowered sweet sultans
are no more difficult to grow than the
smaller, old-fashioned ones. but they
share the family affection for a limy
sop. and II this element is lacking 1t

The Reader,

The gift of reading is not very COM
mon nor very generally understood.
1t consists, first of all, in a vast intel
lectual endowment-a free grace,
find l must call it-by which a man
rises to understand that he is not
punctually right. nor those from whom
he differs absolutely wrong. He may
hold dOgmas, he may hold them pas
siOnately; and he may know that 9th
ers hold them but coldly, or hold them
differently, or hold them not at all.
Well, If he has the gift of reading,
these others will be full of meat for
him. They will see the other side of
propositions and the other side of vir-
tues. He need not change his dogma
for that, he may change his reading
of that dogma, and he must supple
ment and correct his deductions from
1t. A human truth, which is always
very much lie, hides as much of life
as it displays. 1t is men who hold
another truth, or as it seems to us.
perhaps, dangerous lie, who can ex-
tend our restricted field of knowledge.
and rouse our drowsy consciences.
Something that seems quite new, or
that seems insOlently false or danger
Gus. is the test of a reader. If he
tries ito see what it means, what truth
excuses it. he has the gift, and let
him read. If he is hurt or offended,
or exclaims upon his authors folly.
he had better take to the daily pa
pers; he will never be reader.-Rob.

MIDDLE AGE is BEST PERIOD
Man Need Not Be Too Old at Forty
IL He Will Make Himself More
Useful as He Grows Older.

Too old at forty! That is wall
that always goes up throughout the
country. But a writer in the Ameri-
can Magazine says it could be diSre-
Sarded if people made themselves
more useful as they grew older. He
writes:
For man to be too old at forty is
not natural. Scientists tell us that
the life periods of man compare with
the life history of the race.
In most businesses and profess
sions the period of mature manhood
Is commonly the period of great skill.
The body still retains its elasticity;
previous training and acquired good
habits count In daily work; expert
ence now begins to return dividends.
The individual develops common
sense, conservation and deliberatiOn.
He is less likely to be swayed by the
primitive emotions of younger life.
Well-laid plans mature; returns from
previous investments in time, labor
and money begin to come in.
But it is during this period that
the competition of newer workers in
the same field begins to be felt. The
apprentices in the trades, and stu
dents in the schools begin to get II
foothold in competition with the es-
tablished worker. And-what is of
vital impOrtance-the beginner is will
ing TO work much cheaper than the
experienced man. Thus, experience
must guard against the under-cut.
1T is in this period that the great
est displacement occurs. The I'M
progressive, the dissipated, the timor-
Gus, are pushed aside to make room
for those having more enterprise"

NOTES

Amateur gardeners often make the
mistake of planting vegetables too
close together. Plants having large
| foliage such as tomatoes, peas and
beans, should be given plenty of room,
in order that the sunshine may reach
all parts.
Plenty of potash and phOsphoric
acid should be used with all vegetables
and particularly with tomatoes, pep
pers, egg plants and root-crops.
If the ground was well fortified be-
fore planting the seeds there will be
but little trouble through plants dwin-
ding in the hot weather providing the
soil is kept light.
Much of the trouble laid to drought
comes through plant starvation.
Some plants are such rank growers
that they exhaust the fertility of the
soil very quickly unless some reserve
food is provided.
If you have not made due provision
for this in the planting it may still
be easily done by digging large hole
between the rows or hills and filling
this with fertilizer, mixing it as much
as possible with the soil.
Rains will wash part of the fertil-
ity down among the roots and the
plants will thus find a source of con-
slant renewal.
This will keep them vigorous and
in a healthy condition throughout the
season and the fruit formed under
these conditions will lack the bitter
ness which we often experience frcn
neglecting the soil.

SOME TIMELY HINTS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Prune Towering shrubs as soon as
they have finished Towering The
secret of pruning shrubbery, In a nut
shell, is to study the habit and growth
or each plant, and to strive to encour-
age 1t; not alter it to your views.
Make q note of the yellow spots on
the lawn. If the grass is scanty the
trouble is possibly sand or poor soil.
The best cure is to dig out the place
and put in some good loan.
Then resOd the place. If the grass
is there, but dead, the trouble is lack
Of moisture.
If the grass on the lawn Is growing
1ast two mowings week. allowing the
clippings to lie where they fall, are
easier than one moving in ten DAYS
or two weeks, followed by a raking to
remove the cut grass.
To insure thick privet hedge, cut
back three inches every time the
plants make six inches of growth.
Evergreens from the nursery can be
safely transplanted by the end of July.
1t Is important to keep the roots moist
with as much soil adhering as possible.
Pinch off the seed-pods from azaleas
and rhododendrons to insure good
flower buds for next year.
Give japanese iris plenty of water to
insure good blooms.
As fast as flowers fade on herbace-
Gus plants. remove them. By not al
lowing seeds to form the Towering sea-
son, will be considerably heightened.

ner, will produce spikes almost as
good as those Of the first crop, in late
fall when there are few flowers In the
garden.
0eranium cuttings made early in
July will make good Understanding
plants. During the latter part of the t
month sow seeds in cold frames of
English daisies, pansies. foxgloves.
Canterbury bells, larkspur, etc., for
next years Towering.

lacca.
Plant a few pots of oxalis and
freesias for early flowers next year.
When watering, do 1t thoroughly.

A Financier.

Father gave George and Pauline
each quarter with stipulation that
the money should not be spent fool
ishly. When George arrived home
that evening with couple of tops. a
sack of 'comboes," few 'immies." a
box of paint, some candy and a squirt
gun, his father took him to task.

"Yes, dad, but / didn't. See. here's

SUMMER GARDEN HELPS

Make succession of paintings of
sweet corn and snap beans up to the
middle or last of July. These will
give you good vegetables for late use.
Transplanting celery three or four
times develops stronger root system
for the plants. and the plants will
grow better when set in the perma.
nent row.
If the garden is stirred frequently
during the summer with a fine-toothed
horse cultivator the soil will retain
moisture and it will never become
hard and cloddy.
When cantaloupe vines are about
two feet long pick off the ends of the
vines. This will induce free branch
Ing and heavier and better fruiting.
