Getting Full Value of Flowers.

Highly ornamental vases are attrac-
tive in themselves but, as flower hold
ers, they may be said to be partial
failures, as they do not serve their
purpose to the fullest extent. They
rather attract attention to themselves,
than set off the blooms for which they
are designed. A vase of plain material
or color, or one on which the design is
obscure, is more to be desired as 1t
presents the flowers in their full beau
ty, and does not distract ones atten-
ton. In the same way, vase of lus-
terware, of a shade that blends with
the flowers 1t holds, is far more at
tractive than one of contrasting color.
Vases that are to be used for all kinds
of flowers might better be green of a
dull shade, as this resembles the plant
coloring and is not noticeable.

THINK VAMPIRES KILL SHEEP
Macedonian Shepherds Have Firm Be-
lief in the Existence of Creatures
of a Lower World.

A Macedonian shepherd, tending his
focks in the high pastures, sets off
on his rounds in the morning, and finds
several of his sheep mangled about the
neck, dying or dead. He hastens to
the nearest village and spreads the aw-
full news-Vampires
Now, vampire may only be seen
by certain gifted people, and these
make it their life's business to destroy
them. Their usual fee is about sixty
dollars. So the shepherd hastens to
vampire killer, and this man takes
down his long musket, loads it,, and
rams down holy wafer on top of
the charge. He puts on a long sheep
skin coat and sets out for the hills.
Just before dawn he will be heard
to fire single shot. At daybreak he
shows the shepherd a pool of blood.
That is the dead vampire, for vam-
pire is all blood, and, being shot, of
course resolves into a pool Of blood.
A vampire slayer is treated with
great Difference by. his neighbors. He
is a power in the land. But in all
villages there Is usually one scoffer;
one man who can read, or, perhaps,
has Travelled outside his native land.
He laughs when you mention vampires,
and talks of wolves and dogs that have
run amuck. He even hints that 1t is
possible to hide bladder filed with
blood beneath the long sheepskin coat
the slayer wears. There is bad feeling
between the vampire slayer and this
scoffer. They pass each other without
speaking.

Before the last patches of snow
disappear in the spring the snowdrop
lifts its head and from them on the
bulb lover has a constant succession
of blooms until late spring. No one
class of flowers, unless it is peren-
malls, give so many blooms with so
little care. With a plentiful supply
of both bulbs and perennial, the one
who loves flowers. but has little time
to give to their care can have a
wealth of blooms all the Towering
season.
Two standard kinds of bulbs are
the tulip and narcissus. Both have
.umberless varieties which can be
grown easily and successfully by the
amateur. These bulbs should be
planted in light, rich soil that has
been dug to depth of at least ten
inches. The tulip bulbs should be set
five inches apart and four inches deep
and narcissus bulbs about ten inches
apart and five inches deep. The best
time for planting is in October, tho
any time before the ground is frozen
will do.
In the late fall or early winter
months it is well to cover the beds
with light mulch Of straw or leaves
to prevent injury to the young roots
from the alternate freezing and thaw.
ing of the soil. This mulch SHOULD
be removed in the spring as soon as
growth appears above ground. The
bulbs are quite hardy and are mo-

injured by severe cold if the soil is
we'll drained. Tulip and narcissus
plants are perennials, and if they are
given proper care and grown on suit
able soil in good climatic conditions,
will increase and multiply from year
to year. The bulbs may be left in
the ground two or three years or UNI
til the clumps begin to crowd.
After poisoning in thes pring, from
six to eight weeks should elapse to
allow the bulb to die partially down,
when the bulbs may be lifted with a
spade or fork. Shake the soil from
the roots and store the bulbs in cool
shady place where they will ripen.
When the old leaves and roots are
thoroughly dry they may be easily
rubbed off and the clusters of bulbs
divided The bulbs may then be
planted in the same manner as orig
inal bulbs. In this way the stock may
be increased in few years.
The narcissus often becomes nat
uralized when planted in the sod of
partial shade, where it will continue
to grow, blossom, and multiply for
many years without any attention.
Simply make a small hole in the soil
five or six inches deep, insert the bulb
| pointed end up, press the soil oven
the top, and nature will do the rest
i Do not plant in rows or rigid geo
metrical figures for natural effects. A
good plan is to scatter the bulblike
seeds, and plant where they fall. This
method of planting is extensively fol
lowed in the home grounds and parks
of England and other countries II
Europe. In many of the older homes
in America narcissuses that were
planted over half a century ago are
still growing vigorously and every
spring produce bountiful displays o.
blossoms.
PLANTING IN THE HOUSE
Many people prefer to have theil
bulbs blossom during the winte
months. To do this they must b.
grown in pots or window boxes, ant
light rich soil should be used. Place
one or two inches of cinders or brok
en- pots in the bottom of the pots o
boxes to insure good drainage. Afte
planting, place the pots OF boxes on
of doors. Cover them with abou
four inches of sand or ashes, or the.
may be placed in a dark, cool room
or cellar for a few weeks until TIN
bulbs have formed a quantity of root
They may then be brought into tn
light and heat for Towering. Keel
the soil well moistened from time o
planting, but avoid over moistening
for if kept too wet the bulbs may de
cay.
Tulips and narcissus, as well a
hyacinths, are known generally a
Dutch bulbs, because the growing
and marketing of them is one of tn
principal industries of the Neither
lands. Most of the bulbs sold by flor
lists and seedmen in the United State
are imported directly from the Meth
erlands.

GOVERNMENT FLOUR BIDS
FOR JANUARY HIGHER

The grain corporation opened bids
several days ago for its January al
lotment of flour, but for the first time
since it began purchasing there has
been delay in coming to terms with
the sellers. The rapid advance in
wheat prices has increased the cost of
flour to millers and they are asking
higher prices than the government
seems willing to concede. Club wheat
is now selling at a premium of 81
cents over the basic price and the
premium on bluestem has been raised
by Puget sound buyers, 95 cents.
making it worth $3.15 coast bulk.
At the grain corporation office no
information as to the flour contracts
was forthcoming, but it was stated in
milling circles that the bids on jan
uary flour were 1886 track and 1896
F. A. s., or 20 cents and is cents re-
spectively over the December price.
The price the government will accept
is understood to be 1913 track and
$3.50 +. A. s. lor straight 10 cents
over the December figure.
One reason assigned for the delay
in settling the matter was said to be
the absence of Mr.. Barnes, to whom
the business was submitted. from the
New York headquarters. At any rate
1t is probable the amount of flour to
be purchased will be less than in for
mer months.

GOVERNOR SIGNS
CHILD PENSION BILL

Sacramento, May IA bill by
Senator Nealon, increasing to $40 per
month the amount of state aid for
orphans and abandoned children, was
signed late today bv Governor William
d. Stephens. This was the first large
appropriation measure to receive eX-
ecutive approval.
Four pens, each decorated with red,
white and blue ribbon, were used by
the governor in signing the bill. Sne-
ator NealOn said a pen each would be
given to the Protestant Catholic and
Hebrew orphans societies and to the
United Charities.
Governor Stephens, before signing
the bill, said to Senators eNalon, Slat-
er and Sharkey, and others who were
present, he "wshed the state could
have given more"
1T was impossible" he added, "be-
cause we haven't the money
He pointed out that the increase
over the present amount of state aud
was about 100 per cent and that 1t
made California "most liberal of all
states which give state aid to or
phans.'
Nealon expressed regret that the
finances of the state were found to
he in such condition that the original
apportionment of $3.50 a month
asked could not be granted, and
thanked the governor for signing the
bill.
