SHORTAGE OF SNUFF HERE

~ 011On171OE OF SNUFF aERE
Changes made necessary at the tobac-
co factories as result of the new rev.
enue law have caused shipments to get
behind about two weeks and it is very
likely that SNUFF users may be forced
to go without their favorite chew for a
while. Right now the scent boxes of
snuff are not to be had here
There has been a shortage of snuff
here lately and wholesalers have been
advised by the manufacturers that it
will be at least two weeks before they
can get up to date on orders.

TREATMENT AND CULTURE OF
HARDY ANIMALS
By LIMA r. ROSE.

Seeds of hardy ANNALS should be
sown in April or May, according to the
latitude, in shallow boxes or pots and
bed. A second sowing ought to be
made from two to four weeks after for
q succession, as well as to provide
against failure the first time.
The most convenient receptacle for
seed is a shallow box from two to
three inches deep and of any conven-
lent size.
The best soil for all of the smaller
kinds is 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 Off" Get pots two
inches or more in diameter and plaAt
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 common and disastrous mistake.
The exception to this rule is sweet pea,
which is seldom planted deep enough.
A good, general rule is to cover only to
tha dapth of tho thickness of the capdSs
With medium-sized seeds like zinneas
and 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

there is danger of their drying up be-

Plant flowers for others, as well as
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 as 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.

PLANT TREES AND SHRUB
Berry
BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN

BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN
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
sngly, but always leave open space for
grass.
Cut-leaved birch is favorite tree
for planting on the home grounds. 1t
is pyramidal in shape with dropping
branches.
The Japanese naples 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 q
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 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 a 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.
