This Week in the Garden

in August. Few plants make such
a lavish display in the border.
The requirements of the Oriental
poppy are few-plant in a we'll
drained soil, sun part of the day
and protection from smothering
weeds. Few insects or diseases
trouble them.
Protect sweet corn "tassels" and
silk" from the beetles if you
would have well-filled ears. DDT
may be safely used.
With rising food prices garden
ers might we'll plan to grow few
more beans, peas, and beets for
winter storage. The best way to
meet high prices is to grow your
own vegetables, canning or freez-
ing the surpluses for winter use.
The perennial candytuft is easily
propagated by cuttings taken in
August and September. Root
them in sand-peatmoss or sand
compost mixture. The rooted cut
tings are likely to need protection
the first winter Layering the
PROSTATE branches is another
method, and is especially useful
where only few new plants are
desired.
Fertilize asparagus beds now
3 lbs. 5-10-5 per 100 square feet
to help the plants store up
strength for next spring produc-
ton.
Injury to newly planted trees
and shrubs by borers and sun
scald may be prevented by wrap
ping the trunk with a tough, flex-
ible paper or burlap. Start below
the soil and extend the covering
up to perhaps above the loves !
branches. Do not remove until
late fall or early winter.
Scatter ground limestone over
the lilac root area-5 pounds per
100 square feet of area-and cul-
tivate lightly into the soil. Lilacs
are shallow rooted and deep culti-
vation is likely to injure many
roots. Fertilizer at this season is
beneficial. Remove most of the
suckers (not all of them) which
come from the roots.-W. H. Y.

Never park your car in the hot
sun with your dog shut inside
An automobile parked in the sun
with the windows shut tight gets
terriflcally hot inside. I have
known instances where dog has
died from the effects of the heat
generated inside a tightly closed
car parked in the sun. If you
are leaving your dog in your car
during the hot weather. try and
park the vehicle in the shade
and always leave the windows
open wide enough so that the dog
will get a good cross draft of cool
air.
Is your dog bothered by wood
ticks? Here is how to keep these
pests from your dog. Mix a tea
spoonful of sulphur with cup of
ordinary lard. Rub this mixture
well into the dogs skin on back,
neck, head and legs, but not in
it's ears. A few weeks ago I sug-
gested this method to a friend
living in a section heavily infested
with ticks and he reports his
dogs have been practically free
OF the pests, while other animals
in the neighborhood not so treat
ed, have been covered with these
blood-sucking insects.
Don't worry If your dog eats
grass. It's true that sometimes
it may be a sign of some minor
trouble, but in the majority OF
instances the dog does it purely
Evening star., 1950-07-30

out of instinct for a conditioner
Eating grass does one of two
things. 1t either causes a dog
to vomit. or the grass is digested
into the intestinal tracts and
helps to remove excess waste and
infections.
The baying of hounds is con-
sidered by fanciers to have all the
rudiments of music. Hounds are
often picked for their voices
prospective buyers being as much
interested in the pitch and quality
Of dogs voice as in his hunting
ability.
If you keep a supply of sleeping
pills in your house and your dog
accidentally gets hold of some
here's what you should do.
Just let him sleep them off. II
he sleeps for longer than you
think he should and you become
alarmed, wave some cotton sat-
urated with ammonia under his
nose. If this doesn't make him
move about, then call a veteri-
marian. Personally I have known
Of three or four dogs that have
slept for 48 hours, and in one case
80-odd hours and recovered un-
harmed after eating sleeping
sedatives. Naturally if you are
sure your dog has consumed many
of these pills call in a vet as soon
as possible and don't wait for the
animal to recover by himself.

Life in the Country
Dog Has Interesting Career Mapped Out
If BEING House Pet Doesn't Ruin 1t

We now have a real, working
farm dog on the The 40 Acres. the
first one I've had since was kid
and used to drive cattle down in
Southwest Virginia for Jake and
Doug Keller.
She is a Border Collie, a breed
that has been used for hundreds
of years to herd sheep on the
Scottish border. And I can tell
already that she Is going to be a
good worker, because she spends
the day busily carrying an old
shoe of mine about the house.
Becky, named for Miss Reby
De Butts. a neighbor. came to The
40 Acres as result of my attend
ing the Aberdeen-Angus field day
at Bill Hanson's Mount Prospect
Farm over in Montgomery County.
When I saw her I knew I would
never get away from the HanSons
without her.
Right away started talking to
Hugh Elliott. the Hanson herds
man, and before long Becky was
mine. She rode on my lap back
to Virginia that afternoon, and
never whimpered. She hadn't been
home five minutes until she had
the whole family trailing her about.
1t is true that Dandy. the old set
ter, was bit formal at first, but
even he has softened a little since
she has been with us.
I've already got her job picked
out as soon as she gets old enough
to take hold. I am going to put
her in charge Of the cows. She
will have to see that they are
at the barn for milking night and
morning, and that they get taken
to the right pasture.
She can keep the geese out of
the garden, too. and tend to any
other little jobs that involve the
livestock. I'll soon start her fol-
lowing me when I go after the
cows so she will see exactly what
to do, and I'll try to keep her
working slow so the cows won't
get upset.
When I bought Becky, Hugh
said not to make too much of a
pet out of her if I wanted a good
working dog. But I told him
that was out - that you just
counldn't have a dog like that
around my house and not have
it the center of attention.
Hugh should see her now. Every
night she sleeps on a rug at the
foot of my bed, and during the
day she won't let a member of the
family out of her sight. If she
finds herself alone, she sets up
an awful howl until she locates
some one.
Maybe this is the wrong way to
start, but, after all, it's part of
the fun of having a dog.

with land long misused.
Once q heavy financial drair
on its owner. Sterling Farm now
Is one of the top money-making
farms in Virginia. It's sound
financial condition today Is largely
the result of one mans efforts
Fred F. Tavenner, the present
manager.
Sterling Farm, consisting OF
1913 acres. was purchased more
than 40 years ago by the late DIR
Albert Shaw, then editor of Re-
view of Reviews. DR.. Shaw bought
the farm on the advice of a
friend in the Agriculture Depart
ment. who thought an editor
might benefit from farming as q
hobby. The farm now belongs
to Albert Shaw, jr., of New York
Three Stages of Development.
In a report recently to a New
York farmers club, Mr.. Shaw di-
vided the years Sterling Farm has
been in his family into three pc
RODS. There was the first years
of building up the land. Then
followed a period when thorough
breds were raised and the farm
lost as much as $4,000 a year
The third period, dating from
about 1884, includes the years
when the farm has consistently
shown a profit. For the last two
years, for example, profits before
taxes have reached well above
$40, 900.
Mr.. Tavenner recalls that when
he took over as manager in 1884
there was no income and lots of
bills. He started getting the bills
paid off, and the next year was
able to pass along $4,000 to the
owners.

Dozen PerennioIs Are listed That Most
Amateurs Can Raise Without Difficulty
By w. H. Younomon
Garden Editor

Trying to select "the dozen
perennials to grow from seed" is
like saying these are the best
kinds of pie, meaning they are the
ones which for one reason or an
other are the best.
OF course, not all kinds of per-
ennials should be grown from
seed. There are some kinds, such
as the hardy phlox. of which only
the named varieties are worth
having, and they must be propa-
gated vegetatively.
There is a large number which
grow satisfactorily from seed, al
though some, such as the delphi
mum and lupine, are difficult to
grow in this climate, and others
are SO small-seeded that they
are hard to handle. They are best
avoided by the beginner.
The following should not offer
too great a problem for even the
beginner and will give consider
able variety of bloom over much
of the growing season:
Sweet William, columbine, gold
en- marguerite, coreopsis, gail
lardia. candytuft, penstemon,
balloonf1ower, purple conefower,
scabiosa, pinks and Shasta daisies
constitute dozen. The list lacks
a good fall bloomer. The Swamp
aSter or Boltonia as it is common
ly called might have been in
cluded, but it is a weed in most
gardens and should be used with
care. Very few seeding perennial
chrysanthemums are worth the
space, although the ANIMALS when
grown from seed are usually quite
acceptable. The same may be said
of the perennial fall-f1owering
Jap. anemones and the PhysoSte-
giaS.
Be Sure Seed Is Fresh.
Growing perennials from seed
is not difficult problem If fresh
seed may be obtained. Old seed
will do but it is often slow to
geminate and not too many of
the seeds will sprout and grow
into husky plants. Still, the av-
erage gardener seldom has need
for more than a dozen plants of
a kind and certainly that many
should be obtained from a pack
age of seed.
Midsummer seed sowing ought
to be done in a well-prepared
seed bed that is easily protected
from drying sun and winds. A
lath or burlap shade may be used
for this purpose. although many
gardeners will prefer to use flower
pots or flats. The latter may be
readily moved about for protec-
ton and watering.
1t is well to SOW the seed in a
well-prepared soil mixture-one
prepared from equal parts of gar
den loan. sand and peat moss.
Many experienced gardeners pre-
fer to use medium such as the
spaghnum moss in place of soil,
since there is much less danger
of the damping-off disease. Also,

The remaining land is in woods

The farm operates It's own saw

All grain used on the place is
raised, and feed for all milking
herds is ground in a central Stor-
age building. Only the protein
concentrates for feed are pur-
chased, and with good roughage
the cost of protein is kept to q
minimum.
Farms Need Chance to Pay.
Mr.. Tavenner believes that most
farms, given the opportunity, will
