Even the gardener of several
years experience is inclined to
crowd both vegetables and flowers.
usually seed or plants are put in
too close together for the simple
reason that it is almost impossible
for the average person' to realize
that a tiny seed, can, in a few weeks
when combined with care, sunshine
and moisture, grow into such size.
Later when plants are well under-
way the gardener has not the heart
or the energy to do the necessary
thinning.
But thinning, as any old gardener
will centime, la most necessary. Na-

Garden Pests
Garden insect enemies' are divid-
ed into two grioups--those that eat
boles in the foliage and those that
molt out the juicers'. For the fleet
named, poison is usually applied, a
burning, sppray which pen,trates
while the suckers are attached
through their hides'. Often when
both are present, a dotnttbination of
poison and something that burns,
gives' the best rereales. The damage
from the biting insects is usually
quite apparent, bait the presence of
the other Idindd is only shown at
first by a wilting or withering of
the foliage,
For seeking pests, chief of which
are the aphids or plant lice, spray
with whale oil soap, a quarter pound
of soap to a gallon and a half of wa-
ter; nicotine sulphate, or ' Black
Leaf 40,' or any other repellent
secured from a reliable seed -store.
Fungus and Cut Worms
Wbtn fungus attacks the planta
the foliage usually turns yellow or
brown, or white spots like mildew
cover the leaves. Fungus is most
common in warm, murky weather.
Spraying with Bodeaux Mixture, or
dusting with specially finely ground
sulphur is advised. Sulphur dust
will also preterit hollyhocks and
phlox from rust, if applied when the
disease Anstt shows, itself.

few plants to protest the same may
be provided with paper collars.
Catchinb Up
One can easily catch ap with ear-
ly gardening neighborsby using
vegetable and flower Plants already
sitarted.
Among the flowers which can be
purchased as started plantt are cos-
ine's, zinnias, Petunias, anaelgoide,

others. Cabbages, celery, tomatoes,

a very definite effect on its ultimate
usefulness in the dairy herd. Cklves
worth raising are worth special
care. The practice et the Central
Experimental Perm, Ottawa, states
V. S. Logan„ Division of Animal
Hutslbandr'y, is to separate the calf
from its mother immediately and
teach it to drink from a pail.
Means Later Usefulness
It isessential that the new -horn
calf receive it's mother's first milk
or colostrum; for a period of six to
nine days. This milk provides a
Laxative and also contains substanc-
es which inhibit tine development of
disease germs present in the diges-
tive tract.
