to IL midsummer furore. Getting well
under way last year, the tide in its ia
vor has swept past everything in the
way of fabrics this season-there is a
happy madness for it In all colors. Its

MAKE STONE WALL ARTISTIC
Everything Depends on Selection of
Right Materials and Proper Care
in Construction.

In building the wall of stone there
are a number of things to be observed
where success is desired. The wall
should be well bonded together, the lin
tells over the windows should be
strong, the foundations should be ade-
quate to prevent cracks. the method
of laying should be artistic, n the
form of jointing in harmony with it.
All native stones used for rubble
wall construction have certain char
acteristics of color and formation.
Certain stones will split easily into
long, fiat shapes, others break into
jagged, irregular patterns, while 9TH
ers are so soft that they lend them
selves to easy shaping in squared
blocks of regular size. Sometimes,
ever the ne~ighborhood may be filed
with round field stones, which can
be used to imbed into the face of the
wall and produce a surface of round
Jumps. Whatever is the character of
the native stone 1t should be used in
its simplest form and not forced into
imitation of some other type. The
soft brown sandstones which are seen
in some colonial houses are easily cut
and squared; but to cut up a hard
stone into such carefully shaped
blocks in imitation of this colonial work
would not only be a waste of money but
a waste of artistic effect.-'The Con-
struction of the Small House." by Ii.
v. Walsh, in Architecture.

chickweed a Pest in Lawns.

The most successful method of COM
batting common chickweed In lawns,
according to specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, is
to rake out as much of the weed as
practicable in the early spring, using
IA fine-tooth garden rake. This will
seriously retard the growth of the
weed. Commercial fertilizer should
be heavily applied Immediately after
raking and the lawn literally seeded
with n good lawn-grass mixture. The
heavy growth of grass which should
result will tend to crowd out the shall
low-rooted chickweed. Constant now
ing and watering throughout the grow
ing season will hamper the spread Of
the pest. The lawn should also be
rolled each spring.
One method of destroying chickweed
is to allow chickens to have access to
the lawns early In the spring. Exten-
sive experiments have been made with
chemicals for destroying chickweed.

Cultivate Youna Trees.

Fruit trees should be cultivated dur

as corn is cultivated. The soil should

cultivated by horse cultivation. This
cultivation should cease the middle

the tree time TO harden. Ceasing cul-
tivation will cause the tree ia stop
growing and prevent the %succuient con
dition, which would cause winter kill.
