Animals respond to any care or
treatment which is of coddling ma
ture. If we pinch back leggy plants
we can produce more sturdy ana
much branched specimen which will
produce many more blooms, and con
versely if we pinch off side shoots we
are able to produce larger and more
perfect blossom heads; this Is especf-
ally true of asters, while the former
practice works out well with snap
dragons or calendulas. In the case of
tall-growing plants of the African
marigold and COSMOS type, we should
stake them for they are so shallow
rooted that they are likely to be dam
aged by heavy wind or transforms,

into three classes: the hardy ones
which can be sown directly in their
allotted places, the half-hardy ones
which need little protection and are
best raised in coldframe, and the
tender ANNALS which need 10 be start
eel indoors fairly early to insure them
season long enough for development
before frosts.
In placing ANIMALS in the garden
we must remember the same pre-
cautions we exercised in planting our
perennials, We must be converSant
with their ultimate height, their color,
and the time and duration of their
bloom. They can be used alone in
good masses or they can be inter
planted among the perennials; this
is especially effective in new peren-
NAL garden where the plants have not
taken up their full quota OF allotted
space.
The care and maintenance of an
nualS are points upon which large
amount of our success depends. The
soil, of course. should be i'm excellent
condition when they are transplanted,
and afterwards il should be kept well
cultivated and given an occasional
top dressing of some sort of fertil-
izer, such as boneneal or sheep man
ure. The reason for this is that an
nuals are heavy feeders and need an
abundance of food and moisture in
order to develop good crop of flow
ers in u single season. They are not
deep rooted plants and depend upon
surface food and water to larger
extent than perenniais. The flowers
should be removed as they fade for
otherwise we will allow seeds To form
and thus shorten the blooming period,
for an annual lives only until is has
produced seed in order that il may
reproduce itself by putting off this
function we can pr0long the blooming
season indefinitely in most cases. of
course the second blooms viii not be
as large as the first but will be fully
as numerous if not more so.

Peculiarly unique is this gardening
habit of ours, in that the ignorant
may be having almost the best of
it. To quote from John Reid's scots
Gardener: 81 admit that, when
walk with an expert through gar
den, l feel an ignorance, q limitation
which is almost abysmal-but ] recol-
lect, after all, that | may be the hap
pier of the two. The expert knows
all the weaknesses and short comings
in his garden. On the other hand
the ignoramus walks blandly along
enjoying without cavil the simple
beauty of the flowers, enjoying their
breath, all their perfume and all the
variety a garden can give, without
question and without afterthought."
ANIMALS, those delightful things
which spring up quickly from seed,
and flourish and bloom luXuriantly the
first season, have a niche in Amen-
can gardening which is entirely their
own. No other plants are able to
compete with them or give such COM
plete satisfaction in so many ways,
They run the entire scale of color,
shape and height and are therefore
quite capable of forming complete and
beautiful garden pictures by them
selves. They are so prolific in bloom
that they serve admirably as cutting
flowers. They are able to cover the
spots left bare by bulbs or the treach-
er0us perennials such as dicentra or
oriental poppies which bloom and then
disappear leaving ugly holes in the
border.
In many localities il is possible to
purchase seedlings from florist. but
the task of raising them yourself from
seed is not only simple but interest.
ing, giving one repaid feeling for
the labor entailed. In fact the rails
ing is so easy, and the seed so rela-
lively inexpensive, that we have To
employ great restraint in our Sc
lection for fear of having a surplus
of material for the space allotted
The success with ANIMALS seems tn
lie in the fact of getting them start
ed in a vigorous manner and keeping
them growing so that we produce
healthy and robust plants.

MAKING ToPsoIL ROADS
PRACTICAL,

The Department of Agriculture
Bureau of Public Roads has been
loing some remarkable work in
surface treatment of topsoil roads.
The experiments involved the
use of bituminous materials. jude
ing from illustrations published
showing work being done, thor
ough preparation of roadhed and
thorough mixing of materials az
essential. Tests carried on Wa
rant the conclusion that a double
surface treatment composed of a
prime coat followed with a binder
coat OF heavy bituminous material
and mineral covering, is a sue
cessful and economical treatment
for soil type roads, provided the
surface is well supported and
bonded.
Surface treatments Of well
bonded topsoil roads with light,
plastic mat, are likely to prove
successful under light traffic, or
for q limited period under heavier
traffic. A large milesgc of top
soil roads has poorly BONDED sur
faces, and it is hoped to develop
(. mixing treatment to meet this
condition.

Fall and Winter Eggs
Are Most Profitable

Fall and winter months may be
termed the profit months in poultry
culture for the reason that the big DIFF
ference IN production between heavy
laying locks and Hooks which are not
profitable comes during that season OF
the year. Almost any healthy hen will
lay well toward spring.
1t is an established fact that Il flock
must average Approximately 100 eggs
per hen per year In order to return
the owner a profit. The dillereace be
tween the monthly flock averages OF
good ilocks and poor Hooks comes
mainly during the fall and winter
months, In order words. the owners
OF profitable ilocks have utilized meth
DDS which increase production at o
time of year when fresh eggs are
scarce and therefore higher In price.
Early matches oil early maturing
birds could be set down us one OF the
most important points In getting heavi

that start laying during the latter
part of October are from matches that
came before May first, usually before
April first. They are birds that have
been well fed and are fully developed

were defeated in their first league
contest by Meridian in the Meri-
dian gymnasium Friday, January
g, by score of Is TO Is. AT the
end of the first half the score was
IL to 6 in favor of Meridian but

Burton lacked one point from ty
the score. In the fourth quarter
Meridian had no chance TO score
and Burton had enough foul shots
to win the game by several points
but luck was against them. The
game was lost because of the
teams inability TO shoot foul
shots.

Poultry Facts

More than mere abundance is need
ed In the poultry ration.
Much enrly tiiotlng Is caused by I'm.
proper feeding ms well as by poor
laying quality.
One should encourage chicks to
roost at the earliest opportunity. As
long us they roost on the floor, dan
ger from crowdlng Is ever present.
Never let your drinking founts get
Shiny. Scald them out aud give a
good cleaning every few days.
The greater the egg production per
hen the greater the labor Income,
cash receipts, and cash returns above
feed.
Hens that lose In weight usually
go into mott. Therefore 1t Is es-
sential to watch the weight Of the
hens and see that they are getting
sufficient feed TO maintain their body
needs.
On the larger farms culllng is car
rIed on rapidly In the fall and the poor
birds go to market by the crate.
There is no other fowl or stock that
will deteriorate as quickly as turkeys
with Inbreed!ng. This Is one Of the
great faults and the hardest lesson
many have had to learn.
There are people who have the right

OH. BURNERS

Many types of oil burners de
signed especially for home-heatine
purposes have been placed on the
market within the last few years.
The new method of heating ap-
peals to many home owners be-
cause of the relief from uncertain
ties of coal supply, from furna
attendance, dirt, etc. Oil burners
are being applied to all of the
types of heating plants commonly
used for home heating, with vary
ing degrees of success. Invesfi-
cations of different types of oil
burners b the U. S, Department Of
Agriculture indicate that they are
suited to requirements of many
home owners on account of their
convenience and ease of heat con
troll if, to obtain these advantages.
the prospective purchaser is viii
ling to pay the cost of change and
possibly an increased operating
cost. Before deciding whether a
change to oil burning Is desirable
there should be a thorough under
standing of the operating charact
eristics of different types Of oil
burners, and of installation and
operation costs. Department Cir

ject and may be hid free up re-
