They thrive in the smallest garden with the minimum of attention, and give lavish supplies of bloom for many months in the year. Although planting should not be car ried out until October or November it is an excellent plan to send a list of suitable varieties to a good nursery man somewhat earlier. To order well «n advance is a sound rule to fol low in all matters pertaining- to a gar den. There is no more delightful climber for the side of a house or a spare wall than the winter jasmine, which flowers throughout the winter months, and brightens the dreary days Indoors with its sprays of pale yellow star- like blossoms. This is- followed in February by the graceful trails of the yellow forsythla, the Japanese golden belbtree—which- flowers -before its leaves appear, and looks well massed in a large Oriental Jar in a corner or on a hall table; and by the. dainty rose-pink blossoms of the early almond tree, prumus davi- •diana. March brings the red japonlca (pyrus japonica), which may be traln- a trellis, and which is veijy decorative, a trellis, and which is very delorative, especially when arranged in a Chinese ginger jar; followed by the vivid pink clusters of pyrus malus; the butter fly flowers of yellow and orange broom; the pink rlbes (flowering cur rant) ; the brilliant orange of the ber- beris darwinii; the dainty showers of white broom and the varying shades of purple puce and mauve lilacs as spring changes into early summer. The lovely and little-known varieties of ceanothus (the Californian lilac) produce their delicate lavender and powder-blue heads from May to July, and in August the purple buddleia rears its fine spreading sprays. The autumn is enriched by the eral red-berried varieties of the beris family, the cotoneasters, taegus (thorns) and the common holly, all of which look well in bowls for table decoration. sev- ber- cra- Good nature Bhould be like all na ture—natural. Renovating a Leather Bag Many methods were suggested by readers for renovating a leather bag that has become soiled with use. It is found that the -following method has most to recommend it: The leather should be cleaned thoroughly by the application of sad dle soap. Where saddle soap is not available, a good, non-acld yellow soap will do, but its use must be fol lowed by a little olive or similar oil' The saddle soap should be applied with a moist sponge, and then the sur face should be rubbed dry with a clean cloth. To remove oil and grease spots, a thin coating of a good quick-drying rubber Solution (as used for mending punctures in cycle tires) should be placed over the spots, and peeled off just before the solution is dry. Do not use any strong acid preparations on the bag, such as oxalic acid, as this is injurious to the leather. To clean the fasteners, remove the rust with a little pariffin, and then use whiting where they are of nickel, and metal polish on brass fasteners. A spot of oil dropped into the key hole helps to preserve the lock, and prevents it from rusting. If a bag becomes mildewed by be ing left in a damp place, the mildew should ped in should a time commended. leather bags should not be kept in very warm places, or the leather will become excessively dry and harsh. be wiped off with a cloth dip warm, soapy’ water.

The process of the manufacture of Meullleur cheese has become fairly well standardized and the results now obtained make It a product of the first quality among full-flavored cheeses, The whole process of making It Is described In a pamphlet distributed by the Publications Branch, Depart ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. New information concerning the cheese has been secured through recent ex periments. It is now definitely known that the quality of the product is greatly affected by the percentage of butter-fat of the milk from .which it is manufactured. When cheese was made from separate lots of milk test ing 3.8, 4..2 and 5.6 per cent, all was of excellent quality and flavor, but with the increased percentage of fat the quality improved. , In fact, the flavor of the cheese made from the higher-testing milk was particularly pleasing, having a richness and deli cacy sufficient to indicate the desira bility of utilizing a high-testing milk to obtain “the very highest results with Meilleui- cheese, Another fact ascertained is that the cheese may be held from three to five months after it is sufficiently cured for use pro vided that the atmosphere is kept humid The flavor improves with age when drying out does not take place. Producing High-Class Cream. Fine flavored fresh cream is es sential in the making of choice dairy butter. To obtain such cream there are a few precautions which must al ways be observed They are detailed in a Dominion Department of Agricul ture bulletin on Butter-making on the Farm. In the first place the cows should at al times have an abundant supply of pure water to drink. When cows are compelled to drink in swamps, muddy ponds, or sluggish streams or ditches they cannot be ex pected to give first-class milk. When cows have free access to salt at all times, they will give more milk and the cream from this milk will have a better flavor, and keep sweet longer, than when they do not get any salt at all oi- only receive it at Intervals. Absolute cleanliness in milking Is es sential. Only bright, clean tin pails should be used and the utmost care must be taken to clean and sterilize all utensils with which the milk and cream come Into contact. Mineral Foods For Poultry. Laying hens require a considerable percentage of mineral elements in their food. When they are confined, and In the winter time, it becomes necessary to supply these foods apd the question of the most suitable form In which they can be obtained, be comes important. This is dealt with in a bulletin on Poultry Feeds and Feeding, available at the Publications Branch of the Department of Agricul ture at Ottawa. According to the bulletin, besides what is supplied through the feeding of alfalfa, clovbr, bran and other ordinary feeds, it Is necessary to provide something that contains these elements In such quan tities and condition that they can be assimilated more freely. To do- this, bones, shells, grits, and charcoal are generally used. Green cut bone is an excellent poultry food containing a high per centage of mineral elements. Bone meal or granulated bone may be used but oyster shells are the most popu lar. Laying hens consume large quantities of them. Grit, which is made by crushing, rocks of different kinds into sizes suitable for different classes of fowl, assists in the grind ing of the food in the gizzard. Some of its mineral elements are no doubt also assimilated. A hopper of granu lated size charcoal should be kept constantly before the flock. It is in expensive, and is; a valuable correc tive of digestive disorders. Storing Potatoes. Great losses occur every year from the careless storage of wet potatoes in comparatively warm and poorly ventilated cellars, piling them in great heaps and generally furnishing ideal conditions for the development of disease. The proper methods of storing are concisely detailed in a pamphlet on the Digging and Storing of Potatoes, distributed by the Publi cations Branch, Department of Agri culture, Ottawa.. ’ Potatoes, accord ing to the pamphlet, should be stored while dry in a cool, well-ventilated cellar which is perfectly dark. .

If the cellar is not provided with a i good system of ventilation, every ef-! fort should be made to have as free ' air circulation about the potatoes as possible. Instead of piling the po tatoes against the wall or on the floor, slats should be nailed a little apart about six inches or more from the wall. This will give a circulation of air behind the pile. A temporary floor should bq put down about six inches with The stpre- 33 to cooler above the permanent floor, cracks between the boards, temperature of the cellar or house should be kept as naar 35 degrees F. as possible. The potatoes are kept without freezing the better. ---------------------- Gold Under Foot Green feed income fprm is essential in the poultry ration, in order to main tain the flock in a healthy, vlgoro.U&' "f*’*~^ condltloa. It should be supplied dally unless* the- birds are on range where green feed la available, Dur ing the summer months rape, cereals, clover or alfalfa are usually -gasify obtained and (hey make excellent green feeds. In the winter months green feed is more difficult to obtain. The princi pal sources are cabbage, sprouted oats, alfalfa and clover meal or hay» beets, mangels, swedes and potatoes. Cabbage, sprouted oats, alfalfa or clover meal, make"’ excellent green feed. They are succulent, rich In cer tain vitamines, and the birds like them. Cabbage, alfalfa and sprouted oats are not always easily obtained. If clover is to be used, It should be cut early and carefully cured as the leaves are the valuable part. Beets, man gels and swedes are the principal root crops used for green feed. Pota toes are used occasionally. These crops are generally available and con stitute a convenient form of green feed. Experiments have been car ried on at tho Experimental Station, Fredericton, during the last two years to determine the relative value of mangels, swedes and potatoes as green feed for 'laying pullets. The average egg production each year haa been highest in the pen fed swede turnips, followed by tlie pen fed with potatoes. The fertility of the eggs as well as the hatchability ha& also been in favor of the swedes, followed I by potatoes. Swedes are not generally considered to be equal to sprouted oats or alfalfa meal but where these are [ not easily obtainable, it would seem from the above experiments, that swedes are a fairly satisfactory form of green fee^and since they are com paratively cheap, easily handled, and readily obtainable, their use is more generally recommended.—E.
