To obtain a success of bulbous flow­ ers throughout the spring months is neither difficult nor costly, and even if it is only for cutting that they are required, the pleasure of watching them grow more than repays us for the trouble and expense incurred in their planting and care. Where it is desirable to have the beds and borders continue their at­ tractive appearance, it is well to grow several different kinds, so that the flowering period may be extended to its utmost. For instance, hyacinths open their flowers first, then come the daffodils, followed by early tulips and the poet’s narcissus and, last of all, the gorgeous Darwins and cottage tulips. In addition to these oustand- ing bulbous flowers, there are several other miniature bulbous plants that are well worth including in our col­ lection, using them to edge the bord­ ers or to dot here and there along the side of the path, and to plant in irre­ gular patches in grass. This dwarf family includes the crocus, snowdrops, scillas, muscaris, snowflakes and chionodoxas, all of which are perfectly hardy. Betty’s Doll House. BY ELSIE PARRISH. Betty had a lovely doll house, but the little girl that lived next door did Betty’s doll house had ..ext, : a living room, a kitchen, 95 shillings and Danish at from 119 a bedroom and a bathroom, ^he floor to 131 shillings. Canadian and Dan­ ish quotations are nearer than they have been for some time. Our own markets all reported hogs; stronger, the quotations generally be-1 ing a dollar in advance of the previous week. At Montreal various sales of officially graded select hogs were made at $11.25 per hundred. The report states that drovers and other ship-; pers had no difficulty in selling select! bacon hogs at a much higher figure; than ungraded lots, and that the ques-j tion of selling on a quality basis nowi rests with the producer. Indications at the close of trading for the week pointed toward strong prices for im­ mediate shipments. The report from Montreal for the week ending August 16 also says there was keener interest apparent in the lamb market. Buyers for the Amer­ ican markets state that it is their in­ tention to ship larnbs to Boston and New York as usual. Owing in large measure to lack of docking and alter­ ing as well as to lack of weight and finish the average quality of the lambs was not as good as it might be. The! average quality of breeding, however,; appears to be improving each year.! The most desirable lambs should weigh! around 80 to 85 pounds at the market ; and should be docked and either ewes or wethers. Watch the Mail quality varies, I am afraid, be sold direct in any large way. only way in which the farmers can get more money for these products is to have compulsory grading laws put upon the statute books, and have a strict, official supervision of grades. In every city of any size there always more or less people who willing to pay a fancy price for treme quality in supplies for their table. These represent only a small class of the buyers of foodstuffs, but to the extent to which they buy, they are the best opportunity for direct marketing. Any farmer who believes that the spread between the price he receives and the price the consumer pays is too large, can sell direct at a profit if he keeps the following points in mind: 1. He must grade and standardize pick, and put only the best qualities i upon the market. Culls and off sizes ! should go through the cider presses. ! Then he should have attractive labels printed, and label every single con­ tainer, and seal the containers. 2. In his newspaper advertising and descriptive folders he must explain just how this grading and packing has been done, and tell the customer ex­ actly what to expect. He must say that his box of apples which sells for ; $4.00 express prepaid, has about so ■ many apples of such and such a var­ iety, and are about of such a size. In ' other words, if your container holds two hundred Baldwin apples two inches in diameter, say so. 3. He must maintain the standards year after year; in words, do the same thing that the great wholesale houses do with their < products. The opportunity for extra profit in SELLING DIRECT FROM THE FARM. It is the favorite indoor pastime of a certain class of newspaper writ­ ers to propound problems something like this: “If the farmer gets one dollar a bushel for his potatoes, and the man in the city has to pay four dollars for that same bushel the profiteer, the chant?” I used to read city press about the profiteering pro­ pensities of the farmer, and in late years considerably more about the profiteering propensities of the aver­ age retail dealer. Without entering into any argument over the matter, other than to make the general obser­ vation that farmers certainly have not been profiteers and that retail mer­ chants are not as guilty as we would like to believe, I wish to discuss one of the proposed remedies for narrow­ ing the spread between the buying and selling prices of farm products. Not so very long ago writers for the farm papers believed they had hit upon the solution vzhen they suggested I gelling direct from the farm to the' consumer. To help along, the govern- ■ ment developed the parcel post, so that; all a farmer had to do was to drop a ‘ bushel of potatoes into the rural mail box, and presto, his marketing was i done! WThiIe there undoubtedly is; considerable marketing of farm pro­ ducts done in this manner. I have not noticed that the post office has put either the wholesale or retail dealers out of business. What are the products which people in the cities can buy to advantage direct from the farms? They really are more limited than we might at first blush suppose. T eggs, butter, poultry, hams and bacon, and that is about all. Modern methods, Df processing and distributing milk' has made it almost impossible for any- i one except a specialist to distribute' milk. As to fresh meat, there are ’ numerous practical difficulties in the way, especially in summer, when meat: will not keep. Potatoes and apples I are good examples of bulky commodi- offer. The only chance such a farmer j ties which might conceivably be sold have to sell direct is to put up a! direct, but here again we encounter'--— — ,—.+—— „,,l difficulties. Dwellers in tenant houses, the inhabitants of flats apd apart­ ments, have no storage room for any­ thing bulky. They are almost com­ pelled to buy in driblets at retail. Even those people who have cellars do not like to buy their potatoes and apples and things like that direct, un­ less they can inspect the commodity first. The reason is obvious, for there are potatoes and potatoes, and apples and apples. One farmer might sell well-graded potatoes of the highest quality for a dollar a bushel, and his neighbor might charge a dollar for an ungraded, inferior lot. Yet both are Belling potatoes. When one buys at a retail store he has some means of enforcing quality. Bulky commodities in which the at the store, who is farmer or the mer- a good deal in the all are are ex- about Ii same other, Potatoes, apples, this kind of direct selling is very. large, but it is only fair to state that; not many farmers who try it succeeed. In the first place, many of them are not good enough farmers to raise crops of the desired quality. It is ab­ solutely useless to think for even a minute that people in the city will fuss to buy direct unless they are going to get better values than their stores i —-------------- Early Frost.

There was even a tiny telephone and a little piano in the living room. The bathroom had a real bathtub with a tap, and if you put water in the tank attached to the tap, you could turn the tap and water for the little china doll’s bath would really run into the tub just as it does in a real one. When the doll house first came Bet­ ty .took good care of it. Every Mon­ day and every Friday she. cleaned the rooms and dusted the furniture and put everything in place. Yes, at first Betty was a good little housekeeper, but after a while she grew careless. She let the floors and furniture get dusty. Things were always upside down. The kitchen stove would some­ how get into the bathroom and the bathtub into the living room, and the poor little china doll would be left in the water for days at a time. One day Betty’s mother said, “I want you to lend your doll house to the little girl that lives next door for a whole month. I’m pretty sure she will take better care of it than you do.” So Betty lent her doll house to the little girl next door for a whole month. Every Monday and every Friday the little girl next door cleaned the rooms and dusted the furniture and put everything into its place, and when­ ever Betty went over to play with her she always found her doll house in perfect order. At the end of the month Betty be­ gan to feel ashamed of herself and to realize what a fortunate little she was to own such a lovely house. “After this I shall always take of it, the way you do; and you may come into my nursery and play with it every day. Then it will be almost i the' same as if each of us had one of; our very own,” said Betty, and she smiled at the little girl who lived next door.

The farmer who is master of his profession, and does raise the poultry, and make the butter, and produce the apples which deserve a quality price is not always a born business man, a man who knows how to advertise products and how to deal with customers. All of which brings us down to oft repeated statement of late thai the farmer’s primary function is to produce his crops, and that experts in marketing should do the selling.

To obtain heavy production it is necessary that the hens eat large quantities of egg-producing food. The salt should be fine and well distributed through the mash so individual birds will not receive an overdose. If you do not buy commercial grit be sure and lay in a supply of gravel for the poultry before the ground freezes. A little dry, clean sand gath­ ered on a sunny fall day will be of great value in scattering around the brooder stoves early next spring when the ground is frozen and covered with snow. When buying grit and oyster shells it is convenient to lay in a few hun­ dred pounds in the fall. This will prevent the hoppers from standing empty next winter when the roads are' bad for trips to town, although the' hens need the grit to grind their ra-j tions and need the shell to cover the' winter eggs.

True Friendship EXTENDING THE FLOWERING SEASON. The size of the bulbs may be taken as a guide to the depth at which they should be planted. The large sized daffodils will push through five inches of soil easily, whereas the smaller and medium growers needs not be planted any deeper than three to four inches. Hyacinths are best set fully five inches deep—that is, for the large or first size bulbs; second size one inch less. Tulips may average four inches for the early varieties and five to six inches for the Darwins, cottage and other late sorts. Small bulbs of other early species are planted two to three inches deep, according to their size. The distance at which the bulbs are set . apart is largely a matter of taste and depends somewhat upon the ef- ects desired. If three distinct kinds are to be planted in a bed or border, three inches "will be sufficient, for, . as the early ones fade, the later bloom­ ing kinds will continue the floral effect. If necessary, the tops may be removed as the flowers die, but by so doing the value of the bulb,v if it is to do duty again the following season, is'lessened, for the tops or leaves- as they wither gradually give strength to the roots, furnishing the necessary food for next season’s flowers. Overcrowding should be avoided. Thus we set hyacinths six inches apart, daffodils three to four inches, according to the variety, and tulips four inches. Crocuses and other small bulbs look best planted rather closer and we allow them only about two inches. Hyacinths will always be the first favorite of those who grow bulbs in the home, but in addition to their value as a pot plant they are equally adapted for outdoor culture. It is doubtful if any other bulbs give great­ er all-round pleasure than the hya­ cinth. It is invariably a success any­ where, and from the bedding point of view it is impossible to plant any­ thing that will flower earlier, ar.d, too, few other flowers approach it for rich coloring, and none is hardier. W& might go farther and state that for bedding the hyacinth is unsurpassed. The best time to plant is from lata September to the end of October. LIGHT SOIL IS BEST. There is one condition the bulbs rather object to, and that is a badly drained and very heavy soil, but this can be easily remedied by raising the bed a few inches above the level in the first case, using a lighter soil and mix­ ing with it a liberal quantity of leaf mold and wood ashes, or sand or road grit. Early or late blooming can to I some extent be influenced by depth of ! planting. Thus in warm locations ; where there is no great danger from ■ late frosts, by setting the bulbs not more than three inches deep, the time Erin Institute has on hand a, “School Fund” of $185 which they are' planning to use in furnishing a room in a new school which is now being built.
