Turn at the first road on the right and then up hill and every person you meet ask them the way. for 1t $ hard to give the right directions unless you~are riRht on the anot. for there are many roads that lead from tho main road.
 Some Of the oldest inhabitants of the town of Kiliinglv lie buried in a little ward that is hidden away in rough, wild country
 Here and there can be found stone upon which the rough outline can be traced from 16s0 to 1900. It Is worth going to see even if 1t is almost impos. ssible fo get there

Last year used fertilizer from the hen roost and had fine plants anlx flowers If your soil Is heavy tighten 1t by coal ashes wstfcb also makes good drainage, a rich soil without drainage will grow large plans with small and few blossoms. If soil is light and poor use bone, meal 1. l,es If you have fertilizer to buy1 and lots of water, plant your roots with a little basin around each hill and in dry weather an the basins with water Eoften and think you Will be satisfied with tho results. Geraniums like good sol, small quantity of bone mixed in E the soil Is good but don't give them toe
