You may be surprised TO learn
that this information comes not

Beltsville. DR.. Anderson had just
learned of the marvellous char

DR.. Anderson dug himself a few
Jewel weeds to transplant in his
Washington garden while We were
looking over C. T. Rice's grass

had better take some home. too.
But I told him I would have no

Forest Service Gives
Suggestions to Save
Tracts From Fire

Ten measures to protect small
woodlots from fire have been pre-
pared by the Forest Service for
the guidance of owners Of such
tracts. It Is q little known fact
that rs per cent of the country's
commercial timber is in small
blocks averaging 50 acres. The
recommended measures:
/. Plow fire lanes between your
plot and nearby growth. Divide
large timber areas into 20 to 80
acre tracts by use of 4 to 6 foot
lanes. II the firebreaks have al
ready been made. keep them clear
| 2. Cut. Craze or pillow under
weeds and grass on open strips
between the woods and highroads
or railroads.
8. Build lanes hoed down te
mineral soil around structures
from which fire could spread.
| 4. II slash material has been
left. break 1t up to lie close tc
the ground away from standing
trees.
5. Clean up trash that may be-
come hot spots" In hot weather
s. Keep a supply Of fire. fight.
ing tools In strategic places. Make
q few fire swatters" OF betting
by attaching 10 by 10 inch rec
tangles to hoe or rake handles
Z. See that wells are In good
repair. Keep containers Of sand
near exposed buildings. Locate
dipping places along shallow
streams or otherwise make proyi-
sion for . supply Of water In bar
rels In or near the woods.
Q. Make . list Of telephone num-
bers Of IRE wardens.
3. Enlist the interest Of your
neighbors and plot mutual aid

hot sun with your dog shut up
inside. An automobile parked in
the sun with the windows shut
tight gets terrifically hot inside.
I have known instances where .
dog has died from the effects Of
the heat.
The amount Of food q dog re-
quires depends upon the amount
of exercise he receives. During
these hot summer days dogs lie
about more and consequently
don't need quite as much food as
during cooler weather when they
get more exercise.
Meat can and should be the
basis of any dogs diet either is
hot or cold weather. Feed less
food in summer, avoid sloppy
and heated foods and remember
any dog will appreciate q cooling
drink almost as much as you do.
Among many superstitions about
dogs handed down through the
ages are those concerning their
ability to foretell future weather
conditions. Some people believe
that If a dog rolls in the snow or
eats grass that bad weather is
approaching, that If a dogs coat
suddenly has an. odor 1t Is going
to rain, and that If his nose is
moist or damp good weather will
prevail.
@. When did the expression
dog days" originate and what
are their dates?-J. K. M.
A. 1t originated in the 18th
century. Dog days" are consid-
cred to be those between July 23
and August %.
@. What liquid win prevent
dogs from getting close to plants?
Would 1t be effective on corners
of walls and basement window
sills?-M. z. N.
A. The liquid is 3 solution Of
nicotine sulphate In water. as Is
used for an insecticide on plants.
A strong solution would be effec-
tive for stone. brick and wood
work, and Is harmless to dogs.

There are many people who
don't know what q dog leash is
for. It Is not an instrument OF
torture. A leash is to keep a
dog gently within bounds. If you
Jerk q leash sharply. 1t wrenches
the animals collar on his throat
and. of course, is rather painful.
Such action is not good Tor q
dog, nor Is 1t necessary.
It is unpleasant enough for q
dog to have to plod slowly at the
end Of q leash instead Of romping
and running at will. without add
ing to his discomfort by wrong
handling. When he halts abruptly
during a walk, turn to see why
he has stopped. Then when you
want him to move ahead again.
call him to you instead Of merely
giving the leash O violent tug.
When the dog strains at a
leash In an effort to move ahead
faster than you can comfortably
follow, bring him back by word,
not O yank. In dogs early
training days q slow gentle pull
ing OF the leash may be neces-
sary to show him he must ac-
commodate his pace to yours.
Never give an impatient jerk. A
pup will soon learn. If he Is
rightly and patiently taught.
Try 1t.
The following episode took
place in the Middle West recently
II was an extremely hot day. A

filled with the soil mixture and
covered with the spaghnum or
vermiculite 1t should be well
watered before sowing the seed.
This is especially important when
using vermiculite TO keep the small
Ter seeds from being washed too
deeply into the material Small
seeds. "a particular. should not be
covered more than 2 or 3 times
their smallest diameter.
Screen on the Top Portion.
Sow the seeds in rows and thin
ly. The seeds can be busted with
talcum powder to make them more
visible. Screening finely composted
material, sand or spaghnum moss
over the seed completes the oper-
alton.
Watering seed fats or pans
from below Is desirable although
where spaghnum or vermiculite
are used this may not be neces-
sarary. Not more than one or two
waterings will be needed except
for those kinds of seed which are
exceptionally slow in sprouting.
Feeding of the young plants is
not needed at this stage Of growth.
When the first pair Of true
leaves are formed the plants may
be transplanted to a fiat or seed
bed where they will grow until
large enough to be moved into the
flower border. Very small growing
plants may be left in the seed pan
or fiat until the second pair OF
true leaves have formed but no
longer.
In transplanting 1t is well to
put the seedlings into soil mix
ture containing loam, sand and
well-rotted compost or peat moss.
A fiat liz excellent for handling
seedlings where space permits,
lacking this q small protected
plant bed In the yard may be pre-
paxed for them. The bed should
be protected from winds. sun and
"slugs" before placing the young
plants in the carefully prepared
soil. Light shade is apt to be bene-
flcial to the seedlings during the
first season even though they may
be described as sun-loving.
Protection Is q Major Factor.
Space the seedlings from 2 to 8
inches apart depending upon how
long they are to remain in the
bed before moving into the flower
border. Four inches apart should
be ample except where they are to
remain a full season and flower.
Watering and protection will be
the main chores in keeping the
seeding perennials growing vigor-
ously. There is little danger OF
the bed drying out II the soil was
well prepared and is kept pro-
tected from sun and wind.
Some gardeners enclose the bed
with boards to a height Of 4 to 8
inches to prevent disturbance by
children and animals. The boards
reduce wind evaporation which Is
even more important.
Brush burlap or lath may be
used to cut down on the sunlight
but it should never be so heavy as
to prevent, air circulation or so
dark that the plants become yel-
low and anemic. "A
There are many interesting and
useful plants which are not to be-
found listed In the usual peren-
NAL catalog which you may wish
to try. However, it Is well to
search out as much information
as possible before trying them out.
Discover as much as you can about
the kinds and varieties that sound
interesting. Narrow the list down
to those that seem to have some
genuine value to justify your time
and effort in growing them. Grow
one or two kinds to become famil-
lar with the technique before en-
barking on q large scale effort.
