The clovers will grow up again
from the roots.
The part that is cut off should
not be raked away, but allowed
to lie on the ground. This will
cause the remaining roots Of
the wire grass to rot and COM
plete the eradication Of this
pest.
When the second crop has
made good growth from the
roots, it. too, should be cut, as
close to the ground as possible.
Then the entire two crops Of
cuttings should be spaded into
the ground, and allowed to lie
there for two or three weeks, be-
ing wet down frequently, If
there isn't much rain during
that period. Any shoots that
come up may be hoed down.
Rich Loan
When the roots and tops have
begun to decay, you may work
the soil down smooth, and pro-
ceed to plant your lawn grass.
You will have a rich, choco
late loan for your seed beds,
which will promote the growth
Of anything placed in it almost
like magic.
Use some of this soil in your
window boxes. when the time
comes to start them, and you
will find a great improvement
in their plants this year.
There is one other trick I
learned this week. If you have
potted geraniums, they will
thrive marvelously if given q
weekly dose of one quart Of
water to which one tablespoon
Of spirits Of ammonia has been
added.

This expert told me that the
Department, instead of buying
black dirt for the parks and
flower beds, makes Nature pro-
vide the right kind Of soil by
the following method:
Prepare Ground
First, the old worn out ground
is given a heavy coating of lime,
because this soil is generally
very sour, and lawn grass can
not be raised on sour ground.
Then the fertilizer is applied,
in a relatively small quantity.
After this, the ground is
plowed, or dug up, and sowed
to sweet clover, crimson clover,
or cowpeaS.
All of these plants make a
heavy growth above the ground,
shading the earth and killing
out the obnoxious wiregrass that
infeSts so many Washington
grass.plots. These same plants
also possess the power to take
nitrogen from the air, and con-
vert it into nitrates, constitut-
ing one of the most essential
forms of plant food, and, Incl
dentally, one of the most ex-
pensive to buy in the form of
prepared fertilizers.
Store NitrateS
Instead of taking the nitrates
from the soil, as do most plants,
these particular ones in taking
it from the air, not only feed
themselves, but store up as much
as they use. thus they actually
put nitrateS into the soil in an
amount equal to the volume
represented In the part Of the
plant which appears above the
ground.
After these plants have at
tanned their growth, and just
before the seeds begin to ripen,
they should be cut. three or
four inches above the ground.

Springer Spdnie|s
Win Rapid
Popularity

The Springer spaniel during
the past two years has gained
great popularity in this coun'
try. He has q remarkable dis
position and is a most intelli-
gent watch dog.
According to Fred Hunt, Of
Devon, VA, whose Springer
spaniel "Rufton Ringleader" is
shown here, the Springer is the
only all-around hunting dog in
existence today. He works
equally well on feather and
fur and is an excellent re-
retriever on land or water. He
excek on ring-neck pheasants.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hunt imported
"Rufton Rinsleader" from
England February !. He was
said to be the finest stud dog IN
England. Springer authorities
claim that he Is capable Of
blending his own outstanding
qualities with American dogs t.
produce the ideal American
type.

As you critically scan this
page, you have probably already
made UP your mind that the
cunning white dogs pictured
here are Albino-Scottish ter
rierS. But make no mistake
about that!
Although these little dogs con-
form in appearance to the Scot
tie, they are an altogether diff
ferent breed-and very hardy
one-the West Highland white
terrier.
JOan's Pups
They all belong to Mrs. Levi
Cooke, who resides at 2409 Wyo-
ming Ave. N. w. Mrs. Cooke
purchased Joan, aged two,
(whom you see dancing on her
hind legs) in England. Joan is
the dam Of those cunning little
pups. At the same time Joan
was purchased, Mrs. Cooke got
Jock, the sire Of the puppies.
Bucky, the bulldog, is an "old-
timer" He Is 8-yearS-old, and
he looks down his nose with
great disdain at his snow-white
rivals. He literally loathes the
puppies and it is all we could
do to get him to pose for Q
photograph in Mrs. Cookies
garden.
Proud Lineage
The West Highland white
terrier is native to ArgyleslNre
and the west coast Of Scotland,
sections Of the country that
are the natural homes Of the
fox, the wildcat, the badger and
the otter.
This little terrier was Of
established type and ancestry
years before the present Scottish
terrier had emerged from his
heterogeneous ancestry. That
is why any confusion Of the
Scottie and the West Highland
white terrier Is altogether
erroneous.
Three hundred years ago King
James the First of England
wrote to Edinburgh to have a
dozen terriers procured from
Argyle and sent to France as a
present, and there are other
records which show that these
little white terriers Of the wind
swept western coast were the
best in Scotland as early as
sixteen hundred.
A Workman
The West Highland white
terrier has always been a work
man. His conformation per
mits him to work through the
crevices, under the rocks and to
go to earth after his prey. Incl
dentally, he has the pluck to
do so.
White has always been a f.
vorite for working dogs as most
easily distinguished. For a
time the West Highland white
terrier was shown as a Poltalloch
terrier, as a strain Of unusual
excellence was owned in that
section for many years.
The West Highland terrier is
intelligent, faithful, and a deS-
perate little fighter. He makes
an excellent pet.

counsel for Attorney Reeves, Is un-
reasonable in view Of the amount
of funds left in the estate. Attor-
ney Conway as administrator, has
a claim of $4,000 against the ole
estate based on the alleged mis-
management by Judge Cole, of the
Curtiss estate.
Attorney Cassidy when called
upon by Attorney Patrick Healey,
Attorney McDonough, for his judy
ment of the fee claimed, said in
his opinion it was not a reasonable
charge for services rendered or to
be rendered. Attorney Cassidy
thought fee Of between $4,000
to $4,000 should be charged.
He added that in view Of Attor-
ney Reeves standing in the bar,
and the amount OF work entailed
In the four and q half years work
entailed in settling the estate, the

Attorney Hummel thought 1t abso-

see why Judge Reeves should step
aside for someone who hasn't done
half the work he has done.
Attorney Reeves gave a very ex-
haustive report of his work as ex-
ecutor. He filed 10 law suits asking
total OF $4,000 damages and
recovered judgments of $2S,000.
Seven suits asking $189,000 were
filed against the estate, in which
judgments of $4,000 were recov-
cred. He either prepared the suits
for trial and appeared in court or
had Attorney McDonough defend
the actions. Major expenditures
amounted to $30,733. The balance
in the estate without the deduction
of the counsel fees of $86,389.49.
The estate was inventoried in
1929 at the time of Judge Coles
death. Attorney Reeves said he has
absorbed all expenses incurred. He
pointed out that the estate has SUI
fred from erosion as has all es-
tates. by reason Of the depression
starting in 1929.
The hearing was expected to last
all day.
