jf its two sections is thrust into tho

wire, bent into a coll at the center and

standard by rolled ends that engage
the groove's. These arms can be slid
up or down the standard to accommo

SOME LITTLE FLOWER HINTS
' Care Should Be Used In Taking Up
Plants to Place In Window Get
Cuttings of Favorites.
-
In taking up plants to put In the
window, be careful about the roots.
If they are maltreated in any way, be
sure to cut off all the bruised parts
and shorten in a corresponding way
tho top branches of the plant.
Newly potted plants sometlmesdo
.not do well nt first. Don't expect too
'much of your plants until they are
well established. As soon aa new
feeding roots are formed the plant
will pick up. Maybo you have given
too much water which has soured the
soil. Water only when the surface
jof tho soil feels dry to the touch.
It you havo a large cast window
turn it Into a bower of beauty. Fasten
a strong shelf bolow the sill and nail
a wire arch or grill across the top of
tho window. When you dig your
IMadcra vino select several large,
healthy roots and put two or three
'in a six-Inch pot. Place a pot at each
end of tho chelf. As the vines grow
furnish them with string or narrow
wire netting to grow on. They will
soon reach tho top of the window and
cover the arch.
Go into tho garden before Jack
Frost appears and take cuttings of all
your favorites. Slip a nasturtium for
winter blooming. The double nas
turtium roots easily and is a desirable
pot plant.

8table Manuro In Orchard.
The value of stablo mnnure or
other fertilizer in the orchard- de
pends almost entirely upon tho con
ditions of tho soil and climate. Somo
soils grow excellent fruit without
any fertilizer, whilo others must be
fed. Simply a caso of science and
good judgment
Fruit Varieties.
The farmer who raises fruit for bis

variety than tho commercial orchard

WAY TO SPRAY STRAWBERRIE9
Leaf light Causes Spots on Leaves
and Weakens Plants Remedy
for Leaf Roller.
(By W, H. CHANDLEIL)
Leaf blight is a disease which Cftusei
spots on strawberry leaves. With
some varieties it very seriously weak

and Gaudy very largely resist It.
Spray with Bordeaux mixture nftci
the crop is harvested, probably after
renewing has been done, and give
three or four sprayings at intervals of
two weeks. On badly infected beds
after the crop is off, mow everything
down and let it dry and burn off when
there is a brisk wlad, then follow with,
a spraying. '
The strawberry leaf roller Is n moth
that appears In tho spring, depositing
eggs on the leaves. When the eggi
hatch, the larvae feed upon tho lcaws.
folding tho leaves over and fastening
them by means of n silken thread
Thoy thus eat only on tho inner sld
of this folded leaf. They sometime!
seriously injure tho plants, causing
them to dry up. There aro two broods
a year. Tho second brood appears
shortly after the strawberries have
been gathered.
The surest remedy for thl3 insect is
to mow down tho plants and vceds
and burn tho bed off shortly after thq
strawberries have been picked. Spray
ing when the berries are about one
half grown with arsenical poison will
kill tho insect, but it is difficult to
spray strawberriea as they are so soon
ripe after they set. The burning off
process recommended does not seem
to bo entirely harmless to the otraw
berry field, as occasionally soml
plants will be killed and it will
thus be more difficult to oecuro a good
row for the next year.
The white grub that bothers us In
tho garden sometimes may bo a fairly
troublesome insect in tho strnwbeny
Held. The insect feeds upon the roots
Oi somo plants, especially grasses,
Leaf Showing Injury.
When tho field is plowed up, if they
are numerous they may feed upon tho
strawberry, root and do considerable
harm.
The remedy is to grow some other
crop than grass or strawberries on tho
land until they are starved out.
The Crown Borer is a beetle some
what similar to the Plum Curcullo.
They deposit their eggs in June or
early July. The eggs hatch into larvae
that cat their way into tho crown and
thero in'fecding, mine cut the crown,
more or less.
These beetles do not migrate very
badly, so the best remedy is to rotate
the crop, putting no strawberries on
land that has been in strawberries
during the previous few years, pro
vided these insects arc serious.
For Tnse Planting.
If you intend to plant a few cholct
trees next spring dig largo holes foi
them this fall, fill them with manure,
removing it next spring and filling in
up to tho desired depth for the tree. '
CD-
DIES
Most small fruits form their fruit
buds in the spring.
The quickest growing tree for a
shelter belt Is the willow.
Remember that the 'wood ashes
are the best kind of fertiliser for the
orchard, lawn or garden.
Tho city dealer profits by the laxl
neas of the grower by grading and re
packing his badly assorted fruit
Toung fruit trees that were plant
cd in the autumn of last year, or in
the spring of this year, should be ex
amined carefully. .
That corky old apple, the Ben Davis,
still holds a high place 'In the city
markets because its fine appearance
deceives the Ignorant buyer.
In very dry weather fruit buds arc
formed quite early and in case of a
wet fall Immature fruit buds some
times change into leaf buds.
Unless rotten 'apples are promptly,
removed from the orchard, fruit pests
will have an Ideal place In which to
hibernate during the winter months.
After the raspberries are through
fruiting, the old canes are taken out
The canes made this year will pro
duce the fruit next year. Burn tbi
prunings.
Cantaloupes should not be grown
near squash, pumpkin of cucumbei
vines, as the pollen will mix, giving
the cantaloupes a flavor of tho squosli
or cucumber.
Spray the apples twice with Bon
deaux mixturo to prevent injury from
bitter rot Put arsenate of lead in It
to destroy late-hatched insects, such
as the fall web worm.
Spraying with kerosene emulsion is1
one of the best remedies for the rose
leaf hopper. Make tho first appllca-j
tlon as the pest first appears and re
peat as often as is necessary.
Strawberry plants that have been
grown all summer In pots and set this
month will bear next spring. Use Mj
abundance of manure ln preparing
the ground, to Insure a good crop.

that voice that is half a Bong and half
a wail the Mohammedan call to

This call is answered not by a few
people in one particular social strata

you can look them over properly. The
slughi, or gazelle, hound Is interesting;
although the coata of the specimens

we aro told, is one of the oldest breeds
of dogs, being represented (under the
name of zelughl) In the frescoes on
the tombs of Den-Hasan in the valley
of the Kile, Egypt.

true slughi is kept by the tribes ot the
eastern deserts, tho finest strain being
in the possession of Bedouin chiefs.
