Care Of Ornamental Shrubs.

For the farmstead, whether large O,
small, some shrubs are necessary to
make 1t homelike and complete. Trees
md lawn are often maintained but q
goodly assortment and generous plant.
ing of shrubs are lacking. Shrubs are
the connecting link between the trees
and lawns and help to tie-in the build
ings with the landscape.
Around the foundations OF the house,
in masses along the boundary lines, at
intersections of walks and a. speci % ems,
shrubs should be used. Generous
masses, however, are more effective
than too many scattered specimens
about the lawn. Shrubs are also effect.
i've as hedges and for screening insight
ly objects.
Besides their beautiful mass foliage
display, the flowers and iu some the ber-
riss are very showy. The high-bush
cranberry may be mentioned as q dual
purpose shrub, being very ornamental
and its berries suitable for making Jelly.
The best time for planting In Maine is
In the spring, setting the plants In we'll
prepared soil which has been literally
supplied with we'll rotted manure.
Shrubs attaining Q height Of two or
three feet should be set that far apart
and those growing six to eight feet or
more high should be 8 to s feet apart,
allow for best ultimate development.
They may be set closer for more imme-
date effect, some will have to be re-
moved when they crowd.
Water we'll after planting. 1t Ia also
we'll to prune the tops about ope-third
when planting to make up for the loss
of roots In transplanting.
Each year in the fall give an applica-
ton of manure, and for the first few
years keep the soil cultivated between
and around the plants.
Pruning should be prsoticed each year
in an effort to remove crowded limbs
and make the plants bushy. This should
be done Immediately after the Towering
season. For example, pruns lilacs after
Towering in the spring, and hydrsngess
or snowballs in the late fall or early win
ter after Towering.
Shrubs may be gathered from the
wild but usually they do not transplant
as readily because they have q more
strsggly type of root system and many
are destroyed 10 moving. Nursery stock
is best because the root system Is more
compact and the plants will transplant
with smaller loss Of roots. For best
success, the plants should be dormant
when moved.
The following are hardy, reliable and
dependable shruss which should be
found on every farmstead In Maine:
Japanese and common barberry, Red
Osier dogwood, large Towering hydrsn-
geas, bush honeysuokle, mock orange,
Japanese rose, lilscs, Van Houtte's
spirea, American elder and highbusb

DID YOU KNOW TEETH
 WERE so IMPORTANT?

Little Dreamed That His Teeth Were
 the Cause of Stomach Trouble.
 The average person does not dream that bad teeth are the cause of their many ailments. Some peo- pie go on suffering for years, con- tinually trying this and that patent medicine and imagine that they should be relieved. But without avail. A case of this character came to us the other day. The letter is se1f-explanatory:
 ''To have told me that my teeth caused my stomach trouble a year or even five years ago would have made me laugh: On my preliminary examination, when you suggested that this might be the cause for my trouble, at first I thought that you didn't know your business and that teeth. But-on second consideration and thinking 1t over coupled up with the fact that sometime ago I did read in the newspapers that teeth were the cause of stomach trouble I thought that it would do no harm to at least let you try.
 ''I must confess that I had no faith in the methods you had outlined but as I state I was willing to be con- vinced.
 Well, the results have been won- derfu. No more do I have that sourness and belching. You sure did and I have told and am telling every one of my friends, when we talk about dentists and teeth, that you are qualified and are the only dentist to do my work and that you will help them,~ too. ttR.

 DID NOT KNOW HOW IMPORTANT X-RAY IS.

Bridgeport Mechanic Interested In

 The man who finds that his work Keeps him wrapped up in mechanics and shop practice, too, finds cause for thought in the x-Ray. Recently such man paid visit to our office on the suggestion of his friends and he now commits himself regarding the practicability of the x-Ray ex- animation:
 '.As you know that I am a me- chanic and have delved somewhat in electricity, also photography I want to say that every step in the recent dental work that you did for me was a revelation. However, the first ex- animation by N-Ray S-as the most interesting that can ever recall in my life Little did I realize the cause for the continued pains that seemed to come from the gums. Often when I had those pains in the past I would complain to my friends One especially took an interest in my welfare enough to suggest that I pay you a visit which I did. I could not imagine what part the x-Ray would play although I had heard a lot about it. The negative as you call it showed the condition of my teeth and the result was most gratifying for with the wrong made right I feel my self again.
