We have had a minor tragedy
our first. Our calf, so proud last
week after taking reserve champion
at Richmond, managed to cut a
cash at the base Of one of her
small horns.
We don't know how It could have
happened, and for time it seemed
that she might loose her left horn.
We have kept the wound clean, and
although the horn is loose, we hope
now that she will come through
all right. Somehow, Jerseys with
out horns do not look like COWS
to me.
This week has been one Of haul
ing lumber and getting ready to
build a chicken house. A friend
let us have an old building that had
been torn down, and from it we
will have more than enough to
build a good, tight house.
The building job is yet to come,
and it will be interesting to see
what finally emerges from our plans.
To one who has never tried it,
there is something formidable about
building a house-even small one
for chickens.
If we really do 1t, and it stands,

applied although it is usually easier
at that season of the year-any time
after the leaves have fallen. It is
needed to control the scale insects
and to destroy disease spores that
winter over on the trunk and
branches.
The failure Of lilacs to bloom NAV
be due to several causes: l. The
common lilac is a notorious slow
bloomer, often not beginning to
flower until S, 6 or z years after
planting. 2. Scale insects may be
taking too heavy toll Of the plants
strength. 3. Too much shade. 4.
Allowing too many suckers to draw
upon the plants strengths to Z
are sufncient. S. Lilacs prefer .
sweet soil, but are tolerant and will
thrive and bloom in an acid soil.
Add ground limestone occasionally.
6. If cultivating be sure 1t is done
shallowly. 7. The lilac borer is not
a common pest, but If present win
destroy blooming age canes.

Suggested dimensions for a


cold frame.
the heat. While the gardenia and
the camellia will withstand freezing
temperatures they cannot be ex-
pected to survive cooking on bright
sunny days and then freezing as
soon as the sun goes down. Ample
supplies of moisture also muss be
provided for good growth.
Some Other Considerations.
Cold frames may be made in many
sizes. If old windows are used the
frame should fit them. Commercial
sash Is available in the standard
3x6 size, although q special 3x3 size
is easier to handle. The materials
can vary from old packing crates to
brick and cement. Some dismantle
and store over summer; however, If
the frame Is needed for summer
seed sowing and propagating, q
permanent type OF construction will
pay. Treat with q wood preserv-
ative like creosote or cuprinol.
Select q site well drained, easily
accessible. protected from strong
winds and with q southern exposure
If possible.
A good soil mixture, one con-
tanning o generous supply of peat
moss or compost and sand, is nee
essary for good growth. This layer
of especially prepared soil need not
be more than 2 inches deep for
seedlings, but for propagating
shrubs, growing perennials, for stor-
ing large perennials and for grow
ing vegetable crops, q 6-inch layer
Is desirable. Covering the entire
layer with o half inch Of sand to
prevent the damping-on disease Is
an old practice among seed growers.
We have been discussing cold
frames, a glass covered, inclosed
frame without heat, for the han
ding of plants in the late fall and
early spring. A little experience
with one and taste Of its values
soon converts the home gardener to
glasshouse gardening. 1t takes only
a. few feet Of electrical cable to
change Che cold frame into q hot
bed with q wider range of uses over
q longer period.

Cold Frames Are Versatile
Harvest Season Can Be Prolonged;
Tender Varieties Winter There
By w. n. Younamon

varieties Of the anemone lowered
chrysanthemums and some others
fall in this class.
Here are some points to remember
about q cold frame:
1t must be protected against the
inroads Of field mice.
Some watering and ventilation
will be needed during the winter,
but overwatering Is likely to be in
furious.
The soil should be well drained to
give the crowns of dormant plants
the needed protection.
The cold frame should be pro-
tected from cold winds, either BY q
wall or by dirt banked up on all
sides.
Good for Bulb Care
It is not necessary to have q cold
frame for the forcing of early spring
Towering bulbs, but 1t is . good use
to make Of the one you have. Bulbs
potted in the fall need to be stored
in q cool, moist situation where they
will become well-rooted and devel-
oped 50 that when brought in to
heat and light they will make
sturdy growth. without . cold
frame we must store them in . we'll
drained, protected situation, where
they may be kept from freezing by
a cover Of leaves. Freezing does not
hurt the bulbs but it does make
bringing them indoors difficult
Bulbs potted in late fall may not
make sufficient growth for forcing
unless stored in a cold frame in the
heat of the sun for root growth.
Plunge the pots in the soil Cor
sand so that the tops may be COW
cred with the soil. In poorly con-
structed or exposed cold frame 1t
may be necessary to pack the space
under the glass with leaves or ex-
celsior to give the needed warmth.
However, leaves and other mulch
ing materials make home for mice
and mice do so enjoy feeding on
juicy tulip bulbs.
Cold frames. if deep enough and
we'll constructed, may be used to
house gardenia and camellia plants.
Such use, however. does require
substantial construction and regu-
lar attention. Ventilators need to
be raised on warm sunny days, and
during cold weather it may be nee
essary to spread a protective COW
ering over the glass to conserve

Much has been written on cold
frames and their Importance to the
home gardener. Often he finds 1t
easier, however, to buy the plants
from q commercial grower and so
dismisses cold frames from his
gardening thoughts. In so doing he
is overlooking the other uses OF cold
frames and their values.
Cold frames are useful in pro-
longing the harvest season, they are
important for carrying tender, va
rieties of chrysanthemums over
winter, and bulbs for forcing may
be started in the cold frame as
easily as in a greenhouse. Other
uses will depend upon the size and
care given them.
Several local gardeners regularly
transplant from the garden small
plants of lettuce, beet. endive, eel
cry, Chinese cabbage, etc., to their
cold frames before the nights get
frosty. There they continue to reach
maturity until long after Thanks
giving time, sometimes until the
Christmas season. We may also sow
radishes, lettuce, ETC., in the cold
frame where they will grow into
tender, useful crops. Spinach takes
considerable room and should not
be sown unless ample space is
available.
Standby for Head Lettuce.
IN the spring the earliest sowings
Of quick-maturing crops may be
made in the cold frame where they
will mature several weeks ahead of
seed sown in the garden. If for
some reason the plants do not reach
maturity in the cold frame they
may be transplanted into the gar
den. This is a desirable practice
for early harvests OF beet and let
tuce. A cold frame Is the only de-
pendable place in which to grow
head lettuce, which must be far
enough advanced when transplanted
to the garden to reach maturity
before hot weather. Usually this
means the seed should be sown in
the cold frame around the first Of
February.
In this area most Of our seeding
perennials, If large enough to be
transplanted to the border by mid
September, survive our winters with
little diflculty. Pansy plants set
out in the border by the middle Of
October usually come through the
winter with only moderate losses.
But there are some plants so tender
that they seldom survive our win
tiers unprotected. A cold frame is
. necessity If you wish to carry q
tender variety Of chrysanthemum
over winter. Wee Dot, most Of the

OVER THIlE
BACK FENCE
By MARGUERITE FINEFRoCK

Hiya Neighbor-We fully in
tended to hang out a wash this
week but the hanging will have to
be postponed because the line is
still cluttered up with the things
we wore to the game Friday
night. Someone remarked that
only fools, fishermen and football
fans would venture out in such
weather and since we can't
qualify as fisherman, that puts
us in one, or both, of the other
two categories, so it's best not to
argue the point. But it was
worth it, even if we did arrive
home looking like something the
cat dragged in and couldn't eat.
Even the prospect of scratchy
throats and sniffly noses next
day, couldn't detract from the
thrill of watching the Redskins
slither through the mud to win
from the hitherto undefeated
Stonecrushers.
