FLOWERS ADAPTED FOR DAINTY BOUQUETS

A Very Popular Plant Especially for the Uae In the Trimming of Bouquets.
(By LAVILLA WRIGHT MACOMBER.)
In visiting the sick, and making
bouquets for decorative purposes, 1
was often hampered by the scarcity of
flowers adapted to the making of a
dainty, loosely arranged collection, un-
til I tried raising some plants of the
perennial Baby-Breath (gypsophlia
paniculata).
I wished to raise the plants from
soeds. so procured a package and
sowed the seed late in June in moist,
sandy soli In the perennial border.
The seed was sown very thinly to
avoid much transplanting, and It ger-
minated quickly, the first year growing
good stocky plants with fleshy roots. !
The soil In which they grew was
sandy and well enriched with rotted
manure, being kept moist throughout
the hot months by a fine murehing
which not only served to retain the
moisture but prevented weeds from
choking out the seedlings, as I had
little time for weeding. Experience
has taught me that such treatment is
good for any strong-growing perennial
plant.
The second year the Baby-Breath
plants assumed a sprawling bush
form, and were early white with tiny
bits of bloom. Then I had no troublA
in making nice bouquets, as the bril-
liant Gladiolus, Foxglove, Iris and
Zinnias appeared more dainty com-
bined with the airy Baby-Breath than
when formed in stiff, heavy bouquets
by themselves.
The flowers of the Baby-Breath are
set irregularly on slender stems, tha
spreading stems lending Just the right
degree of looseness necessary to a
tastefully arranged bouquet.
During the second summer tho
plants were not watered, but a heavy
loose mulch of dead leaves and lawn
clippings was kept around the roots to
retain moisture from early rainfalls,
and in the fall the bed was allowed
to drift full of leaves, where they re-
mained until Bpring, those which had
become rotted being left around the
roots during the summer.
Perennial plants treated this way
will bloom earlier and longer than
when allowed to dry up during the
hot days. The most Important thing
to remember in caring for perennials
is to mulch heavily, that the dry heat
of late summer may not sap the vi-
mllty of the plants and cause them to
winter kill.
My border of Baby-Breath began
blooming late in May and continued
through the summer, the cut flowers
lasting a long time. They not only
furnished unlimited quantities of blos-
soms for bouquets, but helped with
their profusion of white to tone down
the more brilliant perennials. and
made a pleasingly irregular border for
the taller ones behind them.
The plants are extremely hardy,
having remained In unprotected bor-
ders for five years, not one having
been winter killed. They have gtown
larger clumps each year, consequently
producing more blooms.
ECZEMA ITCHED AND BURNED
R. F. D. No. 8, Maryville, Tenn.—
"My baby, when three months old,
took eczema on his face and head.
His head and one side of his face
were almost in a solid sore. The ec-
zema at first was kind of a rash and
then it broke out in water pimples
and they would burst and looked very
badly. It would itch and burn so bad-
ly that he could not rest at all and
his hair Just all fell out at once till
his head was perfectly bald. He could
not sleep at night^and was very cross.
"I tried remedies without any relief
at all; he only got worse ~!1 the time
until I used Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment. He had great relief the first
application. He was soon cured and
his hair began to grow back and now
he has just beautiful fine hair and
has no sign of eczema.” (Signed)
Mrs. H. D. Clabough, Jan. 28, 1913.

"Pop, where will I find an account

"It ought to b|e in profane history.”
Also Realized That Even Superdread-
nough Would Be Imperiled by
Presence of Idiot.
The brand-new battleship of the su-
perdreadnought type had been thrown
open to visitors. Her captain stood
at the gangway receiving his guests,
pride and delight in his magnificent
vessel shining In every lineament.
Suddenly his gaie concentrated upon
an approaching figure. His face grew
pale to the lips; he shook in every
fiber. Controlling his terror by a
mighty effort, he turned hastily to his
executive officer.
"Clear for action, Mr. Bloodlet,” he
cried. "Beat to quarters. Load with
grape. Order the marines to concen-
trate behind me, prepared to repel
boarders."
“Aye, aye, sir." responded the offi-
cer promptly, although thoroughly be-
wildered.
The blood returned to the captain's
face and he regained his composure
as he remarked how quickly his or-
der were carried out, and how they
were prepared to meet their formida-
ble foe successfully. Then his eyeB
again sought the qbject of his fears.
He was close aboard. “Hello, cap’n!”
he cried, a vacuous smile playing
about his weak mouth.
"Back!” shouted the captain stern-
ly. "Back, or I'll blow you up!”
“Say, cap'n, that's what you seem
to be doin'," responded the enemy,
giggling.
"Don’t you try to set foot on board
my ship,” continued the captain vehe-
mently. “I'm not going to jeopardize
boat, crew and visitors for your pleas-
ure."
“Oh, say, cap'n," remonstrated the
enemy with another silly grin, "don't
you know me?"
"You bet I do. You’re the Idiot that
rocks the boat, and you shall not come
on board mine.”
PARCEL
POST BIG THING
FOR TH
E FARMER
The parcel post has taken the farmers by storm. They are using Vt in
these days of bad roads to send small lots of produce to market, and, in many
cases where packages are too large for the mall, the rural route carriers are
paid to take them. In the picture the carrier has added an extra wagon to
meet the demands upon his capacity.

Bees Addicted to "Dope."
Just add this one to all the queer
things that have happened In the year
of grace 1913 and believe it’s true, be-
cause W. E. Baker, deputy auditor of
the state of Ohio, says he can prove
it.
Tile honey bees near Fostoria, which
is Baker’s home town, have contract-
ed the opium habit Like the Chinese,
they get theirs from the poppy. Bak-
er and many other residents of Fos-
I toria grow oriental popples.
The bees have found this out, and
of late they are leaving acres of
clover blossoms to hunt out the poppy

Plans to Live as Savage.
To prove that the people of the
I twentieth century need not be slaves
to civilized convention, Joseph
I Knowles, a Boston painter of outdoor
life, plans to plunge into the wllder-
j ness of northern Maine this month
without clothing, food, matches, flre-
| arms or ammunition.
He promises to stay there until Oc-
tober 1, to subsist on fish, game, ber-
ries and wild vegetables and to come
out fully clothed. He will live 60 or
60 miles away from any settlement,
and will accept no help from the out-
side world.
Knowles will make his own fire by
friction; will build a log cabin from
material he finds In the woods, and
will make traps out of what he dis-
covers in the practically unexplored
northern part of the Pine Tree state.

Roots of Plant Penetrate Far In-
to the Ground in Search of
Necessary Food.
(By H, P. F16HBURN, Assistant Chem-
ist. Idaho Experiment Station.)
When we speak of soil and soil prob-
lems we are supposed usually to take
Into account about the first foot or less
For the moat crops it suffices to say
that alfalfa adds nitrates to the soil,
since most crops feed only on about
the first foot' |
For the deep-rooted crops this will
not hold true. From analysis of sev
oral alfalfa tracts it wan found that
the first foot of soil was much richer
in nitrates, but to depth of six feet
much poorer, on an average In oth-
er words, alfalfa land Is usually rich
In nitrates in the first foot and poor
In nitrates below the first foot, while
land in other crops may be Just the
reverse.
The deep roots of the alfalfa plant
penetrate far Into the soil in search
of food, while the nttrogen bacteria
accompanying the plant are working
In the top soil. In this way tbe ni-
trates are more concentrated In the
top soil for the uae of succeeding
In Addition It Affords Exercise
and Healthful Environment
for Animals.
Proressor Roberta, formerly of Cor-
nell, was a strong advocate of cov-
ered barn yards for the conservation
| of manure. This system Is advocated
f by Professor Frazier of the Univer-
sity of Illinois. Covered barn yards
are sheds, with good roofs, with or
without sides, and large enough to al-
low the cattle to move about freely.
The bottom is puddled clay or cement.
The manure removed from the bam
Is spread about, and sufficient bed-
ding distributed ovdl- the surface to
Insure cleanliness.
The animals tramp the accumulat-
ing manure into a compact mass and
keep It moist by their liquid excre-
ment. This assures an excellent ma-
nure, with but slight losses of plant
food. In addition it affords exercise
and a healthful environment lor the
animals in severe weather. The plan
bta been tried by many dairy men,
and Is generally considered satisfac-
tory. R is said that the cows keep
cleaner than when stabled, and tha
milking barn la more sanitary.
Taking No Chances.
“A loan never loses anything by
politeness," said the old fogy.
"1 know a lot of men who never in-
tend to," added the grouch.

Whom She Preferred.
A lady suspected her two sons of
carrying on a mild flirtation with one
of the servants, a bonny Scottish las-
sie. In order to arrive at the truth of
the matter she pressed the bell, and
when the girl answered it spoke to
her.
"Tell me, Jane,” she said quietly,
“which of my two sons do you prefer
—James or Albert?"
"Weel, ma’am,” replied the blush-
ing Jane, "they are both nice, though
I think of the two I prefer James; but
for a real guld spree gle me tbe mas-
ter."—London Tit-Bits.
After This He Went.
It was getting very late, and tho
dear girl had smothered yawn after
yawn. Still Mr. Staylate showed no
signs of going home. Father wound
up the clock. Mother let the eat out,
and still he stayed and stayed.
“Won’t you sing something. Miss
Minnie?" he suddenly asked.
“Why, Mr. Staylate,” she replied,
with another yawn, "don’t you know
it is considered unlucky to sing be-
fore breakfast?"
Imitating Her Elders.
Sister and brother, neither of whom
has reached the mathematical age,
were playing the other day on the
lawn at their home in Twelfth street,
sayr the Indianapolis News. The
brother had great respect for his sis-
ter’s knowledge, for she went to
school. He looked forward to the day
when he should become a pupil and
grow v.use.
“I think," he said, “when June is
gone it will be cooler.”
Then suddenly;
“When will June be gone?"
The little sister attempted to an-
swer, but, evidently fearing to lose her
brother's admiration, she placed her
hand on his shoulder, and with a tone
of mild surprise she said:
“Why, David, you ought to know
that.”
Didn't Know Where to Stop.
“The great men axe all dead,” she
eaid, with evident regret.
“But the beautiful women are not,”
he replied, looking earnestly at her.
“Of course," she added, after a mo-
ment's reflection, "I always except
present company.”
"So do I,” he said.
Then she asked if he would be good
enough to conduct her to her husband.
—Judge.

There Is nothing any easier than

yourself before a typewriter. Feed
blank paper Into the typewriter and
Inject the Ideas through your finger
tipB Into the keys Continue to do
this until all of the Ideas on the slip
are exhausted, then gather up the
Jokes, which have piled themselves
Into a heap on the opposite side of the
typewriter, send them to editors and
receive your checks. A couple of
hours a day spent In this manner
should bring you in revenue enough
to support a wife and nine children,
run a six-cylinder touring car and buy
bonbons for a soul-mate. Try It.
