Trick Stirrup Helps Mount Horse
BY JAMES BlRcHFlELD

You might know you could
count on Tom Taylor to figure
|out an easy way to climb aboard
lof a tall horse.
And Tom has a tall one. all
right. She measures better than
II hands at the withers. And
at four inches to the hand. that
figures out a little under six
feet.
And that's right high, espe-
cially If you have on tight
Ibreeches.
Tom solved the problem by
putting a boy an another horse.
Now the point is that in his
pocket the boy had a special
stirrup. devised and made by
Tom.
So when Tom got ready tc
mount. he called the boy. who
handed him the stirrup, which
Tom then attached by means Of
Ia special hook to the regular
lstirrup on his saddle.
This, as you can see If you
stop to figure it out. lowered the
lstirrup to within the reach of
a man with tight breeches on,
and the mounting process be-
comes a matter Of routine.
When Tom gets aboard. all he
has to do Is disengage the spe-
lcial stirrup. hand it back to the
boy on the other horse. The boy

at q time when you are not
ready for them. For a long time
now, I've realized that I should
put a new cover on my trailer.
But nothing was urgent. and
I thought ! would get around
to it sometime. and at my
leisure.
But that can't be. The other
night the wind rose. found q
loose place in the trailer top and
ripped of the canvas. Now I've
got to recover 1t. and in a hurry.
That is the way things 60 with
me. Fate prevents me from doing
things my way, and in my own
time.
This, in many ways. is the best
time Of the year. The sun is
warm. but not too hot. One
may get real pleasure from
garden CORRESPONDING in the
soft warmth of late spring.
The grass is at its greenest
now. and the early flowers have
not yet faded completely. This
is lilac time, and lilacs are
among the most wonderful of all
spring flowers.
The frogs still keep up their
music In the pond, but the birds
now are not quite so full OF
song. Nesting time is advanced,
and it will not be too long be-
fore the first broods will be in
the nests.
This certainly Is the happy
time Of the year.

THIS WEEK
IN THE G ARDEN

Icover the plants should the
weather turn cold.
"Mums" Did Well
For some reason many varie-
ties of chrysanthemums came
through the winter in good
shape. Even those that were left
lin level beds and not mulched
survived. Feed them literally and
force the new growth SO that
cuttings or rooted plants may be
taken for setting the new bed.
Do not depend upon the old bed
for good flowers. It is very sell
dom that an old undivided clump
produces satisfactorily.
Kill Weeds in Lawn
Those weeds that are begin
ming to loom up in the lawn are
best controlled through spot
spraying. There are several de-
vices on the market which do a
very good job. certainly they are
much easier to use than a knife
Ior trowel. BY putting the weed
killer directly into the center of
the plant there is much less
danger of spray drifting to de-
sirable plants.
Protecting Seedlings
II is not too late to start seeds
of ANIMALS in a protected spot in
the garden whers they can be
sheltered If the weather turns
cool and where they can be
Iwatered and given attention
when needed.
Grubs and Moles
Whenever a number of grubs
or insect larvae appear in the
soil it is time to use chlordane
land milky spore disease. The
lgrubs are the favorite food OF
Imoles which will burrow all over
the garden and lawn in search
of them. The burrowing ruins
the lawn as well as provides
tunnels for mice. Get rid of the
insects.
Get Spray for Ticks
The first tick OF the season
was seen and SO it is time to
spray the weeds, shrubs and all
low hanging branches with DDT
or methoxychlor II you would
keep the ticks from children and
pets.
