ROSES FROM SEED.

CoPAKE, y. Y. Sept 9--Wlll you
kindly tell me when and how to propa-
gate roses from seeds?
| have gathered some seeds from
q briar rose, but do not know whether
to remove them from the pods or to
plant them in the space pods or hulls.
VIII you kindly. tell me just how to
prepare them, and when and how 10
plant them have written to the State
College at Ithaca and to several pro-
fessors, but none of them has given

are all full of theories, but not at all
practical. IB.
Break the seed pods carefully with
out hruising the seeds and SOW the
seeds at once in we'll drained pots or
boxes filled with sandy soil. It is
fatal to allow the seeds to become dry
before sowing; so prepare the pots or
boxes before removing the seeds from
the pods. Place the seeds on the sur
face OF the soil and push each one
down half an inch with the blunt end
Of a lead pencil. Place the pots in a
greenhouse or in a sunny window

USE MORE FERTILIZER TO KEEP
MORE LIVE STOCK.

Ask almost any livestock man why
he keeps livestock and he will be
pretty sure 10 give as one OF his main
reasons, Livestock keeps the soil
rich And in almost any community
the livestock farms will sell for more
than others because the fertility is
usually better maintained.
This reasoning satisfied the live
stock man OF the past, but the modern
business stockman and dairyman is
beginning to look closer into the mat
ter. He is asking. "Is there anything
else that | can do to make my farm
even more protitable?" That is the
vital question,
II must I've remembered that unless
grain is purchased all OF the feed first
came from the soil of the farm Even
where grain Is purchased ii seldom
more than offsets the fertility removed
through the sale of some cash crop, as
wheat or timothy. Passing through
the bodies OF animals does not increase
the amount OF plant food. In fact. a
small part is removed by the animal
to produce bone, flesh. wool or milk.

ENGLISH wALNUTs IN AMERICA
BY EDWARD c. WICK.

Growing English walnuts in Amer
lea Is not new. 1t seems new because
on this side of the Atlantic We have
been slow to take advantage OF the
fact that the English walnut can be
successfully grown as far north as
Buffalo. There are several bearing
groves in western New York, near
Rochester and Lockport.
Back IN 1880 Bernard Mcmahon, in
his American Gardeners Calendar,
suggested the use OF Spanish chest
nuts and English walnuts for borders
Of orchards to screen the other trees
from impetuous winds
Mcmahon recommended the plant
ing Of nuts OF the European and
American chestnuts, walnuts and
hickories in March. "All the above
kinds should be sown in drills. first
throwing the nuts into a tub OF water
and rejecting such OF them as swim.
covering them with light rich mould
may be three feet asunder. and the
nuts planted six or eight inches from
one another in the rows" Summariz-
ing. he says to allow them to re-
main ip~-the seed drills two years,
keeping them free from weeds. As
the walnut kinds are subject to push
down long tap roots and not to form
many lateral ones 1t will be necessary
in order to secure success in trans

berries from which refreshing wine
was made and popguns and pea
shooters from the stems, from the
willows along the stream whistles
were made: sassafras from which the
bark OF the young shoots made good
chewing, the roots dug up. washed
and boiled with birch bark in making
root or birch beer
Wintergreens were sought for their
aromatic leaves and bright red, sweet
favored berries. wild raspherries,
blackberries and blueberries bordered

walnut, butternut, hickory and beech
trees, under which rotiicking nuttlng

served with big red apples and sweet
cider around the great dining room
table, about which the whole family
gathered.
What nature does is beautiful. but
man seems to be a wanton destroyer
with but one aim. turning life into
what he calls wealth.
The old pond was in many cases
found partially filled with ashes and
refuse: the wood lot had been de-
stroyed: a big factory with prisonlke
walls was the chief scenic object; the
meadow was covered with double
row of houses, all OF the same size and
shape, as IL turned out OF mould
and in these the factory workers dwell
An old friend Enthusiastically de-
scribed how the city had extended its
limits and swallowed up more of the
country. and called attention to the

made since our schooldays as the pres

ROSE STEM B0RER.

A reader made inquiry some time
ago regarding rose stern borer.
Never having experienced trouble
with the rose stem borer, the query
was passed to Prof. Glenn W. Her
rick. entomologist at the State Col
lege OF Agriculture. Here Is his re-
ply:
II know OF but one insect that is
liable to burrow in the rose. and that
is the caterpillar OF a small moth
closely related to the codling moth.

insect at work IN rose stems, but II
has been seen by other observers.

the record is an interesting one. The
name of the rose stem borer is graphic

PYRETHRUMS.

Daisies are popular with all lovers
OF flowers, and any daisy shaped
flower Is a daisy to most persons, re-
gardless Of what the flower really
may be.
lyrethrums are by some calleC- pink
daisies. and in reality it is one OF the
composites, the same family as the
chrysanthemum and the common
field daisy. The single pyrethrum re-
sembles single chrysanthemums.
The fern like foliage is useful for
decorating and the flowers are horne
on long stiff stems, so necessary for
arranging artistically. keeping a long
time when cut and placed in water.
The color ranges from white to deep
crimson; the doubles and semi doub-
les are OF various curious forms.
Pyrethrums are particularly suit
able for town gardens as they seem
to be little troubled. by the smoke and
dust OF the Cky.
The important thing is TO have the
soil deeply dug and heavily enriched
with stable manure. Light soil is de-
sirable. heavy clay should be lightened
by digging in liberal quantities OF
sand or coal ashes.
Borders or beds OF pyrethrums are
attractive, and their culture is simple
Every third year the roots will re-
quire separating and transplanting.
