RED ROSE ORANGE PEKOE
Bargains in Beauty
BY FRANIe
"There, now, that'a done! When
I go to town •i'il get a few packages
of seeds and we'll see if we can't dress
up this yard a bit. Wife'll like tb$tr
'Mo."
The man in overalle straightened
up from the gravel walk ho had been
smoothing with his hoe. He leaned
on the handle and frowned' a little
es he continued: "have to do some
scheming, I games, to get much of a
flower garden this year. But --we'll
see"
The low cottage among the eutovers
shone in the spring sunshine with new
white paint. The fall before the
stumps had been cleared away for .a
few urea on all sides leaving only
e scattering of trees to furnish shade
for the dooryard. Otherwise the place
was as bare of decoration au a newly
laid egg -and quite as clean.
On this pioneer farm for several
years to come, there would be but lit-
tle money to spend for luxuries but
both he and Mrs. Smith agreed that
some flowers they must have.
"We'll see what thio dollar bill will
buy," were David's parting words to
his wife as he waved the greenback
at her and started tor town the next
day,
"Try to get yellow and white as
much as you can," Mrs. Smith called
after him.
When David Smith returned, he
had the seeds. For bordering the
gravel walk there were two packages
of sweet alyssum. These seeds were
planted quite thickly for a short dis-
tance along the walk. When the plants
were large enough to take up, some
of them were transplanted so that
they would extend along both sides of
the entire walk. For two reasons this
was found to be a better plan than to
sow the seeds the whole length at
first. Tiny seeds offer some protec-
tion for each other when planted close
together; and they could, in -this cue,
be mare easily covered and sheltered
from hungry hens.
Sweet lyssum furnished a wealth of
white blossoms for the color scheme.
And since gold and yellow were the
other shades preferred, Mr. Smith
had brought two packages of mari-
golds, oneFrench of F ench and one of Afri-
Cana These were planted as a border
close to the house and were inter-
spersed with a number of white aster
plants and a few purple ones which,
when they bloomed, relieved the in-
tense orange of the marigolds. Low -
growing naturtiums edged the mari-
golds in front and continued the color
combination.
Something to give greater height
than tho flowers could furnish was
needed at the corners of the house. To
provide this accent, David made rude
trellises of three poles each, placing
the poles, together as though to make
toy wigwams, and over these were
trained the scarlet runner bean. The
effect was strikingly like shrub plant -
Inge which. the Smiths had felt they
could not afford the first year.
Many an expensive garden has not
given as much pleasure to a family
as this touch of yellow -and -white
beauty gave to the Smiths. And the
dollar greenbaek had covered the cost.
The two packages of sweet alyssum
had been purchased for twenty cents;
one package of French marigold seed
and one of African had cost ten cents
smelt; one packet of nasturtiums was
sufficient at ten cents;; and the re-
maining forty cents bought aster
plants.
Against the house foundation, they
planted cosmos. In front of these
were larkspurs in biuo and white with
phlox drummondi to border them, One
packet each of these was enough for
a twenty -foot row, so the cost for
those flowers was only thirty Cents.
Two peony plants, therefore, of the
pink variety were selected at thirty -
live cents each—one for either side of
the steps. Theseperennials are not
expensive considering the fact that
they bloom year after year while
many other flowering plants have to
be replaced ascii year. The peonies
were a wise choice as a part of the
dollar bargain,
The second year, the David Smiths
did stat have to limit their plantings
to a dollar, Times had been good and
a five -dollar bill was to purchase the
beauty for the home grounds. Two
dolly's of this they spent for perman-
ant shrubs; two dollars went for per -
T:s
A. AUST,
ennials; and one dollar for more
annuals.
At the corners of the house, lrs.end
of the scarlet runner bean on its wig -
I wan trellis, were placed epirea to
bring graceful eprays of wlnto flow-
ers in early summer. These were
bought from the nursery and"ee wore
the Ivo clematis vines for the cor-
ners of the porch. With the clematis
•were planted native bittersweet vines
from the woods. The bittersweets
were a most attractiveaddition and
had cost nothing except a little time
and labor.
Thle year instead of a color scheme
of yellow and white, the plan was to
have a border of mixed colors, Eight
perennials were selected to be grown
between the vines and the spireas, Of
'perennial phlox which blooms in a
variety of colors, two kinds were used
on either side of the porch. Tho
earliest of these was white, Festiva
'Maxima, and . the other kind was
delicate rose -white, called Sea -shell.
By buying these as his first perennials
David Smith felt that he was getting
value received for his money, for they
flowered profusely both the first and
the second years from June until late
September.
Four bellamosa larkspurs cost
twenty emits ' apiece, were also pur-
chased at the nursery. These are also
reliable perennials and,their deep blue
shades are effective with the more
delicate phlox.
The annuals, lower -growing than
the perennials, wore set in front of
the others to complete the bed. There
were annual phlox drummontil in
various colors; verbenas in pink and.
white; and petunias. Sweet alyssum
was used this second year also, to
edge the border bed and the gravel
walk. Nothing eine was found to pro-
duce such admirable results for so
little money.
In making this border flower gar-
den, seeds should always be planted
far enough away from the house so
that'when water drips from .the roof
they will not be washed out. The soil
should be carefully spaded and pre-
pared as it would be for a vegetable
garden. The flower seeds may then
be sown and raked in lightly, the rak-
ing being done lengthwise of a narrow
border bed. Brush will protect the
seeds from the chickens and the to.
warm sun until the plants appear.
Then when the plants are grown large
enough, they can be transplanted to
the spaces where the seeds did not
come up thickly. Seed packets of an-
nuals usually contain enough for a
twenty -foot row, and enough for
double that amount of space if the
seeds are planted thickly and later
transplanted.
All plants, annuals and perennials,
should be weeded and cultivated until
they are large enough to 'shade the
ground. One seldom needs to bother
watering them.
Seeds of perennials can often be
used with great success when one does
not feel like spending the money for
the plants. Seeds are naturally much
cheaper than plants, and perennials
which ' would cost from fifteen to
twenty-five dollars at the nursery can
be grown from seed in the dooryard
for from fifteen to twenty-flvo cents.
Larkspurs, for instance, when seed-
ed in
eed-ed-in the apring will often blossom
the same fall, and if the frost comes
on too early for that, they will hold
over well and flower the next,spring.
The mourning bride (subteen), gail-
]ardia and Iceland poppy, are other
beautiful flowering perennials which
may be raised in this way if one is
willing to wait for the blossoms a
little longer than when the plants
themselves are purchased.'
"Where there Is a will;' there will
be a garden and beauty! Nature
works with us, seeds are cheap, work
is ours to give and neighbors are al-
ways generous with roots and cut-
tings.

One of our near -neighbor boys ruts
a large truck for a big dairyman
some two miles from his Perm home,
He goes to and returns from his work
every morning and evening in his
small touring car, saving time and
steps.
Two of our own boys work out sev-
eral weeks of the year, sometimes
near to and sometimes far from our
farm home. When their work is more
than a .mile away they go in theft
secondhand car. Thus they are rest-
ed when they arrive for work, and are
not fatigued on returning home at
,light.
Last but not least, an old retired
farmer and his wife were at a loss to
kill time, At last they solved the
problem by investing in a light run-
about. Now they are like real young
folks again, cheerful and happy in
their play, which they have well
earned by a lifetime of hard work
They believe it is better to waste a
little money on a little ear than to
leave a lot of money to their heirs
to be quickly wasted on a big car, or
perhaps an airplane.
Poottree
When the hens are fed for eggs
they obtain sufficient material for
the whites and yolks but the grain
feed they consume cannot furnish
enough lime to make strong shells on
all the eggs they can produce. A lack
of lime results in soft shelled eggs
which
e nests
and this may lead to the egg -eating
habit. Thin -shelled eggs are also pro-
duced and they often break in the
crates and smear other eggs.
At hatching time it is necessary to
have eggs -with strong shells or eggs
will be broken under the setting hens.
It is much easier to handle eggs in
artificial incubation when they have
firm, strong shells. Oyster shells can
be purchased in 100 -pound sacks at a
price close to one cent per pound. A
dollar's worth of shells will furnish
the hens with lime for many dollars'
worth of eggs, There is no economy
in doing without the well-filled oyster
shell hopper. Eggs are produced in
clean, sanitary packages, but we rest
give heavy -laying hens plenty of lime
to construct these packages.

in England.
According to the Dominion Live
Stook Commissioner, the slaughtering
on account of the foot-and-mouth„dis-
ease in England and Wales amount
to only 1.1 per cent. of the cattle
population, to 0.18 per cent. of the
sheep, and 1.8 per cent. of the swine.
These figures indicate that there is
little likelihood of the importation of
meat from overseas being increased
on account of the destruction of Brit.
