Towering bulbs in the open ground? What flowers should be planted now for next spring? What time of the year Is good to set out roses? Mrs. B.. Bessemer, Ala.
 A. Hyacinths. tulips, narcissrs and jonquils may be set out from Sep tember to December. My own pref erence would be about November Perennials. in flower seed. may be sown from September on to Decem- Der. There are literally hundreds that might be planted, but few of the best known are various daisies, pinks, sweet william. poppies, holly hooks, phiox, larkspur. gail rdia, gypsophila, coreopsis, canterbury bells, etc. Field grown roses may be set out in December, January and February While permissible at other periods, these months are gener- ally best.
 Q. What variety is the dark blue larkspur that is now in bloom Miss M
 A. Probably be1ladonna larkspur, a true perennial, a free bloomer. tur- quoise blue, has a long blooming factory flower.
 
 appearance and the foliage turns black. How do you treat them to grow normally. Mrs. s. R. F., Alice vile, Ala.
 A. Heliotrope should have a rich. porous soil, regular supply of mois- ture, and never allowed to dry out. They are subject to plant lice and leaf fungus Busting the underside of foliage, occasi ionally, with equal parts of finely sifted air siaked or hydrated lime and powdered sulphur is good An occasional spraying with tobacco water and soap suds will keep off lice and mites.
 0. What is a good thing to -,ut In hens nests to keep out lice and mites? Mrs. L.
 A. A good scheme Is to make the nests out of tobacco stems. using the whole stems. Sulphur undar or round about the nest is good. Pure insect powder dusted into the nests every few days Is good plan. Mites ought to be killed out around houses by the free use of kerosene oil. Get 1t into all the cracks and crevices where such vermin are likely to hide during the day.
 o. If you plant sweet clover or melilOtuS now, when Will IL pcSiu " grow? D. H., Guin. Ala.
 A. A small amount may come up in a month after sowing. if weather conditions are favorable. but most of it may lie dormant in the soil until next spring. The seed of meli- lotus varies greatly In germination. Perfectly good seed. taken from the same plant, will sometimes vary as much as six months in manifesting growth and even longer.
 c. If I sow carpet grass in Sep- tember, how long will it be before it would afford any grazing? c. J., Clanton. Ala
 A. Not before next summer or fall. l. Is generally two years in becom- ing established, so as to furnish heavy grazing, still grazing Is of great benefit at all times.
 o. want to plant some of the purple Towering vetch around my place. in waste places. just for its beautiful flower. When can I plant and is preparation necessary? Mrs. J. D., R. F. D. No. 1.

1000 Eggs
 in Every Hen
New System Of Poultry Keeping-Cet Dollar a Dozen Eggs-Famous
 Poultryman
 TELLSHOW

"The great trouble with the poultry business has always been that the laying life of hen was too short" says Henry Trafford. International Poultry Expert and Breeder, for nearly eighteen years Editor of Poultry Success.
 The average bullet lays 150 eggs If kept the second year, she may lay 100 more. Then she goes to market. Yet. it has been scientifically established that every bullet is born or matched with over one tn usand minute egg germs in her system-and will lay them on highly profitable basis over a period of four to six years time if given proper care.
 How to work to get 1000 eggs from every hen; how to get bullets laying early I; how to make the old hens lay like bullets !; how to keep up heavy egg production all through cold winter months when eggs are highest; triple egg production make stacker hens hustle: $500 profit from every hen in six winter months. These and many other money making poultry secrets are contiined in MT Trafford's q, 900 EGG HIN" system of poultry rais- ing, one copy cf which will be sent abso- lutely free to a. reader of this paper who keeps six hens or more Eggs should go to dollar or more dozen this winter This means big profit to the poultry keeper who gets the eggs MT.

eagerly as did the poor woman who
 put the question to me.
 The answer Is:
 In world as wonderful as this,
 we must live more deeply, live harder, feel things more keenly, and above all, look up and see the wonders and
 the glory of the world! In other words, eliminate self"
 The unfortunate part of it all is
 that the majority of humanity drags along without seeing the vision and
 with sad eyes bent earthward like the
 man with the rake in "The Pilgrim s Progress" and every day they are growing older and the edge of their youthful keenness is getting duller and duller. and soon they will no longer have tho power to feel and
 to appreciate. In other words, live! Then when the awakening comes as some day 1t will, they will find to
 their sorrow that it is too late, for
 their emotions are dulled by want
 of use and by the passing of the years, and no sadder word can come to humanity than the melancholy
 words. 'Too late"
 Now here's a good test of our state
 of mind: Are we as happy as we can bef'
 Facing the question fairly and squarely, if we are not, what Is the factor that Is dulling our lives, and how can 1t best be eradicated? Answers to Questions The answer to such questions are necessarily varied:
 We are not happy for financial
 reasons; we are not happy because of domestic relations; we are not happy on account of III health; we
 are not happy on account of our children; we are not happy for ten thousands and ten reasons-all ,f which jamb us up against proposi-
 tions which cause us much unhap- piness and great deal of pain. But
 Can't we always say, and not only say, but see for ourselves how much worse 1t might be, and just remem- Der little "Pollyanna of the Glad Book"
 Yes. happiness can be cultivated the mind can be turned from doleGll introspections and be made to look npon the brighter side of things with a more cheerful outlook The Der sistent ignoring of the darker side
 of things will eventually dlspel ths gloom and put us in more happy
 frame of mind.
 For, after all, this old world Is a mighty good old world-matters not
 how many disappointments we have had, full of delightful surprises and intensely interesting happenings, and

Sunday Sings "Brightens the Corner
 Where You Are And Why Not?
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

Remember billy Sundays song: "Brighten the Corner Where You Are?"
 Somehow I thought of 1t when I was pondering over the question::
 Can, happiness be cultivated2"
 The question was put to me re- gently by a friend of mine who has been in very. very deep trouble; who has felt as if the very bottom had dropped out of the world for her and nothing on earth was worth while.
 was rather glad of the inquiry, as it again started me off on one of my favorite topics.
 The question, of oourses is as old ms the sun, moon and stars, and yet the answer to 1t Is nearly always different and unsatisfactory, for one person finds happiness in outward circumstance, while another declares that happiness and duty are synony- nous terms, and yet third informs us that happiness Is merely relative and that after all it is doubtful if there is any such thing st all.
 Amidst such confusion of con flicting opinions, it Is hard to make up one's mind definitely on the sub jeot. but I always like to talk about it, somehow.
 From the ethical standpoint, one ought to find the truest happiness in the fulfilment of duty. and yet one daily sees the man or woman who is fighting the hardest fight between duty and inclination, and who turns sad eyes toward the right and the right only, and yet rigorous ad- herence to duty does not take the sadness from their eyes.
 Can be Cultivated
 whatever may be said to the oon- trary, am of the firm conviction that happiness-elusive "bluebird," though it may be, can be cultivated, yet in order to win it, we must for get it--rulo 1t clean out of our scheme of things, as 1t were, for the direct pursuit of happiness ends In complete failure.
