Heme Decoration Capable ef Adding
Immensely te Appearance ef
the House.
The artistic arrangement of window
boxes Is a form of decoration that in-
terests almost every woman, espe-
cially the home gardener, who has dis-
covered that certain combinations
flourish so they need no renewing
throughout the season. Of the lat-
ter geraniums are satisfactory be-
cause they require little care and put
forth an endless succession of flow-
ers. I often wonder why climbing
geraniums are not used more, for they
are effective. In England one sees
them everywhere and they grow fine-
ly In any place except where hot sun
beats on them all day. They require
little shade and an even amount of
moisture. Oiven that they flourish.
English daisies are also pretty for
boxes and If clipped occasionally will
put forth blooms several times a sea-
aon. Their foliage Is fine and the
little white blossoms are lovely. Nas-
turtiums are as obvious as geraniums,
and for the same reason.
Many persons will say that helio-
trope will not thrive In window or
piazza boxes, but such has not been
the experience of the home gardener.
She has raised both purple and white
ones. Nor does she find the care of
them difficult Heliotrope cannot have
too much sun, and it must be watered
often. Heliotrope cannot be placed In
a box which is narrow or thin because
the roots will feel the heat of the Bun
too much. The box holding them
must be deep, so the same conditions
will prevail as If they were In the
ground.
Petunias, especially the double va
rletles, are charming for window
boxes. Not good for cutting, the flow-
ers have a delicate odor which be-
comes evident the Instant they are
damp. Double white petunias suggest
roses, and once firmly established
these grow rapidly.
Amateurs must not try to raise
them from seed. The small plants In
two-inch pots cost little and bear
transplanting.
The most common cause of spin-
dling and scraggy looking window
boxes 1b that the roots are not kept at
an even degree of moisture. To douse
the soli to a condition of mud and
then let it dry to powder affects th*
plant precisely as extreme changes of
temperature do human beings. They
become weak trying to adapt them-
selves.
The soil must be kept damp, and to
do this successfully the boxes must
be Intelligently observed each day.
When a high wind baa been blowing
the dirt will be dryer than on a damp
day, and when the sun beats down se-
verely moisture will naturally dry
sooner. For this reason the amount
of water given varies from day to day.
FOR SCHOOL WEAR
The question has been asked. 1* It
best to plow dry land tn the fall or
the spring? I say. plow In the fall
every time. 1 don't care how dry the
ground Is, It matters not If rough,
the lumps must be broken of course,
but It Is all the better. I leate the
ground rough all winter and the anow
and rains come ami fertilize that soil
and pulverize It. As soon as spring
conies I take a disk with a harrow be-
hind It and lap the disk and harrow
half way. We go lengthwise and as
soon a* that Is done turn crosswise
and do the same. In a short time
see the little weeds coining up and
when they can be aeen nicely 1 put
the disk to work again and the har
row. I sometimes harrow and disk It
four or five times In the season, write*
George L. Farrell In Meld and Farm.
We do not allow weeds to grow on
the ground. We cultivate and from
the twenty-fifth of August until the
last of September, Just before we sow
fall wheat, we put the leveler to work
and level It over so that we can see
to an Inch where the drill haa run
and we do not mlsa any of them. We
cannot afford to mlas and we sow 35
pounds to the acre and It the ground
la very rich we bow a little more. Hut
I make my tenants sign a contract lu
writing that they will not how morn
than 40 pounds to the acre and If they
bow over a bushel they have to pay
for the losa in crops, because It will
not produce half aa much as that
sown thinly. Whenever seed Is too
thick In dry farming It will draw sus-
tenance out of the ground and it can-
not mature so aa to make a crop.
I will relate one circumstance to
prove this. I used to sow rye and a
DanUhman moved Into the neighbor-
hood about a mile away. He came to
me and wanted to know If I had eome
rye to sell for seed. I said, “Yea, air,
plenty of It." He said, "I want to
buy 15 bushels.” “All right, air, you
can have It." He said, "Will you take
work for It; I have no money?” I
said, "Yes, air, I would rather have
work than money.” "I want 15 bush-
elB.” “How much can you sow In a
day?” “Twenty acres.” "All right,
air, you are Just the man I want. I
will give you three bushels of rye a
day and board you for five days and In
that five days you can sow 100 acres;
that will give you 16 bushels of rye.”
"All right, air, that's good pay; I'll
do It."
He came along and I had the rye all
sacked ready to sow. He came down
and said, “You have not got near
enough rye here to bow that ground.”
"Yea, I have." “How much are you
going to sow to the acre?” “Half a
bushel.” He said, "You don’t know
nothing about raising rye.” I said,
"I don’t pretend to know much about
it, but that la all I want sowed.’’
"Why," said he, “In Denmark we sow
three buahela to the acre.” I said, “I
want you to underatand we are not In
Denmark now, we are out west. Can
you sow a half bushel to the acre?”
"Yes, I can sow a peck If you want
It." He did It and did It well. I paid
him hla 15 bushels and he sowed that
15 bushels on his own five acres.
About the middle or latter end of
April I was going past one day and
he called to me to come to his house.
[ drove up and he said, “I want you
to come over and look at my rye."
I went out and looked at his rye
back of the house and barn and It
stood about four Inches high and juat
as thick as It could be. I said, "That
looks nice, don't It?” He said, “1 am
going to show you how to raise rye
this season. I looked at yours and
there was one spear up here and an-
Leaf Blight.
Scab attacks the fruit and leaves of
apples and pear trees. On the leaves
the disease is often leaf blight. Black
spots of considerable size are formed
on the fruit. As the spots increase in
size the diseased tissue cracks open,
growth ceases and the fruit becomes
one-sided. The Bpots on the leaves
are similar to those on the fruit, ex-
cept that the edges are not white.
The leaves are made to curl some-
what by the development of the dis-
ease Spraying with bordeaux when

cessful combination.
| other within about a foot of ft; you
| won't raise much on that." I said.
Perhaps I will show you bow to
raise rye.”
After a while there came on some
nice rains aud along about the tatter
end of April we could see the rye
coming up. it grew fine and got up
as high as the top of my head and we
cut It In the fall and thr«-whc«l It and
It made 27 bushels to the acre It
I surprised the whole couutry and I
1 told the threshing man when he went
up to Erickson's to let me know how
I much that rye of hla threshed. In a
day or two he came along and said he
threshed that five acres c* .ye and It
Just made 30 bushels, four bushels to
the acre. He said the heads were
only one Inch long and the kernela
only one fourth as large as mine.
POULTRY NOTES.
When a hen Is In full laying her
comb Is full and bright red.
Appetites must be studied. Fowls
differ tn this as much as do human
| beings.
wt* ' To endeavor to keep a fl<w-k on a
single grain diet will soon breed all
sorts of trouble.
Before one attempts to raise chick-
ens In a brooder he should take les-
son* from the mother hen
The beginner should spend a year
or more In the care of poultry la-fore
he can hope to be a learned poultry
raiser
There are almost as ninny ways and
methods of feeding and caring as
there nre localities where turkeys are
grown.
For stamina In the offspring, and
especially In market poultry culture It
Is best to Introduce new blood every
year or two.
Probably In no line of general or
special fanning Is the working equiva-
lent so poor us lu the average han-
dling of iMiultry.
No matter how small the birds may
be, they should have access to some
kind of grit. They will begin to pick
at It after they are a day old
There Is nothing which hinders the
growth of the poults more than para-
sites, which Increase very rapidly
when the poults are confined to small
areas. *
One of the most difficult proposi-
tions In feeding young chicks Is to
know how to place the feed before
them so they can partake of It with-
out soiling It.
In buying stock either pullets or
yearling hens should he selected.
Where It Is Intended to i-Hrly Incubate
the eggs yearling hens would be bet-
ter than pullets.
Old and young Thickens to be sold
for market purposes will bring much
more If they are confined In close
quarters for a week or more and fed
heavily during the time.
Equipment for properly earing for
chicks pays In a very large way. This
may consist of brooders, coops, drink-
ing vessels, chick feeding coops and
numerous other things for the best
welfare of the young of the flock.
With good equipment poultry keeping
may be made a good success.
We show here a useful style fof
school wear. Cherry red linen would
look very nice made In thte way, A
panel is taken down center of front
and back; the aides ate slightly
shaped In at the waist. A Ilmen collar
and singlet are worn. The sleeves
are plaited In to fit the wrists.

* Fungi Choke Out Crope.
ft has been announced that after ex-
periments lasting 13 ycarB Prof. H. I*.
Holey of the agricultural college of
the University of North Dakota, dis-
coverer of the flax sickness and cure
which has rejuvenated the fields of
Russia aud older parts of the United
States, has discovered the five dlB-
tlnct types of parasites which cause
the varieties of wheat sickness.
This sickness has made lands seem-
ingly barren throughout the world,
and Is gradually choking the pro rata
of crops in the present wheat grow-
ing countries.
Professor Holey says the fungi re-
sembles In shape and In reaction on
plant life the tuberculosis germ which
afflicts humnn life, hut that the cure Is
easier, being nothing leas than a cor-
rect rotation of crops, being chiefly
clover, corn and potatoes, until tests
of land Bhow the absence of parasiti-
cal fungi.
Sweet Clover aa Feeler.
Some of the dry farmers out on the
plains who entertain the Idea that
they cannot grow alfalfa might try
sweet clover as a feeler crop. The
two plants are closer kin than cous-
ins. Both are nodule bacteria-pro-
duclng plants, and what Is more, they
have the same bacteria. It ts quite
reasonable, therefore, to conclude that
wherever sweet clover grows alfalla
will also, but It Is much easier to
get a start of sweet clover, for It
seems to be Indigenous to a large
proportion of the plains region, al-
though the plant was originally Intro-
duced by man.
Meeker Harrow.
The Meeker smoothing harrow Is a
great tool for the finishing strokes In
the preparation of land for vegetables.
The large number of small disks pul-
verizes the smaller clods and the lev-
eling board leaves the surface in per-
fect condition. This harrow Is not
known by many growers and It Is
such a superior tool that all Bhould
use It.
8weet Clover la Hardy.
Already the sweet clover Is the
most persistent and hardy of all
clovers. It is reslstent to drought, to
alkali and to disease In a remarkaole
degree, and Is most able to produce
growth by getting Its plant food from
poor soils. Ridding It of Its one ob-
jectionable feature, that of being un-
palatable lo stock, means more to
western agriculture thau can be tore-
told.
