fade, pinch them off; your flowers
will keep in bloom much longer and
the blooms will be larger if you pay
attention to this little detail. Pansies
and sweet peas particularly require
looking after.
Use your flowers in borders and
around the sides of your lawn. Never
make flower beds in the center of your
lawn. A bit of green turf. well-cared
for, is an asset to any home grounds.
If you want a soft, thick turf on
your lawn, NOV it often and let the
clippings lie where they fall. This
keeps the soil from drying out too
much and helps fertilize it as it de-
Gays.
Support sweet peas on a hedge of
brush. This is better than poultry
netting, as the sun does not heat it and
burn the tender tendrils OF the cling
ing sweet pea.
Plant your shade trees far enough
away from the house to allow the air
to circulate around the house. Sun
shine in the home is a tonic and care
should be exercised when planting that
trees do not interfere or shade the
windows too much.
Do not plant your flowers too close
together. Give them all chance for
life. Pansies should be planted ten
inches apart; petunias and Sverbenas
at least eighteen inches apart; mari
Colds, two feet; poppies, ten inches
zinnias, eighteen inches and phlox q
foot. Flowers will not be plentiful OF
thrifty if grown too close together.
Nothing Is better for winter bloom
ers, or for hanging basket plants than
the Grand Duchess Oxalis. Put the lit.
tie bulbs in light soil, keep in a tenn.
perature Of about go degrees and keeI
the soil moist until the leaves appear
and gradually increase the water as
required.

WHAT A JEWELRY FIRM DID
They Invested Some of Their
Spare Money in Canadian
Lands.

S. Joseph & Sons, of Des Moines,
Iowa, are looked upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
a suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm it.
With the assistance of the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines,
Iowa, they made selection near Cham
pion, Alberta. They put 240 acres OF
land in wheat, and in writing to Mr..
Hewitt, the Canadian Government
Agent at Des Moines, one of the men,
bers of the firm says:
81 have much pleasure in advising
you that on our farm five miles east
of Champion, in the Province of Al
berta, Canada, this year (1916 we har-
vested and threshed 10000 bushels of
wheat from 240 acres, this being an
average of A bushels and 10 pounds
to the acre. A considerable portion
worth at Champion approximately
$1.85 per bushel, making total return
of $19,610, or an average of $81.70 per
acre gross yields. Needless to say, we
are extremely well, pleased with our
lands"
1t might not be uninteresting to read
the report of c. A. Wright of Milo,
Iowa, who bought 100 acres at Cham
pion, Alberta, for $1,000 in December
1915. He stubbled in the whole lot OF
/ it. and threshed 4,4S7 bushels Grade

Mr.. Wright being a thorough bust
ness man, gives the cost of work, and
the amount realized. These figures
show that after paying for his lant
and cost of operation he had $2,472.6i

V IFE in a French village in war
time is described in an enter
tanning way by M. E. Clarke
in Country Life.
Even in peace-time the life of the
village moves slowly, he says, but
since the tocsin sounded wars alarm
1t merely creeps along. Outwardly
nothing is changed very much; the
small white houses with their bright
red roofs catch the smile and frown
of every passing cloud, the poplars
sing and murmur as they always have,
the little gray church shows an open
door and up the broken pavement Of
its aisle stray lightsome sunbeams,
fallen leaves and dogs of more or less
sober reputation, as well as women
with heavy, anxious hearts who go to
pray.
Old women in blue handkerchief
caps lead their cows to Craze along the
green roadsides, and younger women
go down to the stream to wash clothes.
In the fields work elderly men, women,
soldiers home on leave and a few
children. The long strips of cultivated
ground which make the hillsides look
like a patchwork quilt pass through
the usual yearly processes of tilling,
sowing, reaping and gathering in the
fruits of labor. Poppies, cornfiowers,
ragged robin, blue birds eyes, the
| cuckoo flower and a hundred others
come in turn and throw their beauties
to the right and to the left with that
prodigal generosity which is natures
splendid way. The birds are as gen.
erous with their song as the flowers
with their beauty, and among this
| pageant of joy and loveliness walks
| the slow-moving, thrifty French peas
