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
she'll is to study the habit and growth
of each plant, and to strive to encour-
age it; not alter it to your views.
Make a 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
fast two mowings a week, allowing the
clippings to lie where they fall, are
easier than one moving in ten days
or two weeks, followed by ralling to
remove the cut grass.
To insure a thick privet hedge, cut
back three inches every time the
plants make six inches Of growth.
Evergreens from the nursery can be
Rafely transplanted by the end of July.
IT 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.
The larkspur, if treated in this man
ner, will produce spikes almost as
good as those of the first crop, in late
fall when there are few flowers in the
garden.
Geranium cuttings made early in
July will make good winter-1owering
plants. During the latter part Of the
month SOW seeds in cold frames of
English daisies, pansies, foxgloves,
Canterbury bells, larkspur, ETC., for
next years Towering.
Fill up the gaps left by the poppies
by transplanting on the cleared ground
such ANIMALS as China asters or portu-
lacca.
Plant q few pots of oXalis and
freesas for early flowers next year.
When watering, do it thoroughly.

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 fertilized 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 a large hole
between the rows or hills and filling
this with fertilizer, mixing it as much
as possible with the soil.
Rains will wash a part of the fertil-
ity down among the roots and the
plants will thus find source Of con.
stant 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 from
neglecting the soil.

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 a very useful flower for cutting
as it lasts wonderfully well and is
light and graceful.
The older forms Of sweet sultaps,
are. however, nowhere as regards size
and splendor with the improved i'm
perialis grandiflora. This is immense in
flower. The flowers are large and
soft, Of thistle shape, with beautiful
filament petals Of pinkish lilac, and
there is a white variety, not pure
white, but with a primrose tint, which
is exquisite as a table decoration, but
less effective in the border than the
mauve one.
These giant-fowered sweet sultans
are no more difficult to grow than the
smaller, old-fashioned ones, but they
share the family affection for limy
soil, and if this element is lacking it

SUMMER GARDEN HELPS

Make a 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 a 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 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.

the seedlings are introduced.
Centaureas are hardy, but as a rule
they come up somewhat irregularly

is best to SOW very thinly in pots or

cracking out to the four corners OF the
earth and over the surface of the
Seven seas the word that the imperial
government Of Germany and the
United States of America had come to
grip of battle. On every American
warship and at every American naval
or military station, some scores ana
some thousands of miles away, receiv-
ing antennae tingled with the news as
it came sputteringly but quickly to its
aerial destination.
A few days later another govern
ment order was set forth declaring
that the authorities at Washington
had decided to take over control of the
wireless facilities of the nation and
that all private apparatus for sending
and receiving must be demolished. Po-
lice officials all over the land got busy
at once, and thousands of amateur
telegraphers found themselves without
avOcation the next morning. In New
York city alone 90S wireless stations
were silenced, an index of the enor-
nous growth that aerial telegraphy
had achieved.
These two instances witnessing the
indispensabilitX Of this mode Of com
munication make difficult of belief per-
haps the statement that it is just 4J
wears ago that the science of tele-
graphing through the air without
wires was for the very first time
brought to the attention of the con-
gress of the United States, and that
the application for permission TO in
corporate a company TO try out the
"crackbrained" scheme so tickled the
risibilities of the honorable representa-
tives that the proposition was very
nearly laughed out of court.
Eventually, however, the idea SEEM
ing harmless, if entirely mad, the de-
sired authority was given, and Mahlon
Loomis, a dentist of Washington, d. c.,
was told that he could go ahead and
do anything of the kind he liked. So
in q spirit of entire levity the lower
house accorded the initial recognition
to what has developed into one Of
the most marvellous and most serv-
iceable of all manifest work of genius.
The name of GuglielmO Marconi, the
Italian, Is inseparably associated with
wireless telegraphy In these days, and
as Is so often the case the men who
blazed the trail are forgotten. So
Mahlon Loomis and many like him
have passed into the Obscurity Of
memory, their achievements receiving
only scant mention even In the books
which give the history Of the science
as it developed
The Washington dentist was, how
ever, a pioneer IN one respect which
has reserved for him a modicum of
fame; he first of all scientists proposed
to use the present method of conduct
ing the electric impulses by means Of
long masts and even erected struc-
ture for the purpose on the banks of
the Potomac river in Maryland, where
he for a time carried on experiments.
Therefore the records mention him in
long list Of illustrlOus men as one
who really did something to advance
the cause of wireless investigation.
There are few men now living who
recall the debate in which the leading
men Of congress took part when Rep
resentatlve Bingham of Pennsylvania
introduced a resolution to incorporate
the Loomis Aerial Telegraph company.

periods in which the wits Of the house
