Tulips, jonquils, daffo- dils, snowdrops and crocuses Should be secured immediately and planted so that they will be able to establish' themselves betel'a winter sets inand be all ready to spring into flower !shortly after the snow disappears seven months berme. Many kinds of thase spying bulbs are well adapted for pleating in the grass along the driveway or walk, or here and there through the lawn. Some people make a practice of throwing the very early spring bulbs, such as crooases, over their shoulder on to the lawn and of planting wherever they fall. A hole is dug with a trowel and about two inches of good soil placed in ahe bot- tom and the bulb planted a depth of about, twice its diameter. The larger bulbs snake a better showing when placed in clumps of from half a dozen to twenty-five and planted in the per- ennial bed or in borders, There ate many var'ieties of tulips particularly and these bloom at different periods so that if a pr(.per selection is made a steady supply of flowers can be had from early spring until June. PLANTING OUTSIDE It is a simple matter to have a bril- liant display pf blooms withi:t a few weeks after the snow disappears, To get this, secure bulbs now and plant outside, These bulbs are imported by the seeds;.,en from Hollan3 where they were grown this yea', and in which the flower for next year is al- ready formed. On this account, it is advisable to get the largest 'size bulbs, waieh naturally contain the largest flowers, and with which fewar "misses" in bloom will be experienced: The bulbs are planted outside in Sep- tunber, where they will develop root growth before the freeze up and be ir. a good positive to spring forth just as soon as the snow disappears in the spring. Snowdrops will bloom as soon as the snow is gone, and these are followed in rapid succession by soil- las, crocuses, Grape and Dutch hya- cinths, narcissus, Cottage, Darwin and Breeder tulip,. There is also a single early tulip which will come first cf all, altho'suh it is not as beautiful as the Darwin and later sorts. By selecting varieties careftdly, end keeping in mind the time of blooming, there will be some flowering by these bulbs from early in April until almost July. Tu- lips, narcissus and hyacinths should be planted from four to six inches deep and about the same distance apart, while the smaller bulbs should lie planted about two inches apart and about two inches deep. In very heavy soil, the shallower planting should be followed. INDOOR PLANTING. This is also the time to plant those bulbs whish one wisher, to have bloom indoors from late November until Mareb. This is a simple form of gardening and practically all of the ordinary spring bulbs such as narcis- sus, hyacinths, Chinese lillies, tulips, freesias, scillas and daffodils can eas- ily be grown indoors in soil, water or fibre. The latter substance, which can be bought at ony seed, store, along with the bulbs, is the cleanest to handle, can be used over and over again and usually gives generally satisfactory rest.lts. With the excep- tion of the Chinese lily whieh is plant- ed almost on top of the soil, fibre or gravel, the bulbs should be planted in pots deep enough so that only the tip showsabove the surface. Water light- ly and place in some dark, cold corner where the temperature can be kept well below 50 degrees, if possible. The narcissus will bloom in about six to eight weeks, while the hyacinths, to lips and daffodils will not come on for two or three months. By planting in succession, particularly with the narcissus, two or three crops can be secured, but with those bulbs that take a longer time to flower a succession of bloom is mora easily obtained by using early, medium and late varieties. With the tulips, select those varieties which are specially adapted for forcing. Drainage should be provided where soil is used, but it is not necessary with fibre which substance makes ideal material where fancy bowls are used. After planting, with the exception of the'freesias, leave in the cool temper- ature and dark place until a good root growth has developed and the sprouts are up about an inch. One or two pots can be turned out in the hand to make sure that the root growth is spreading around inside, When this stage has been reached, water more liberally and bring out'into fair light at a tenmperattire of about 50 degrees. In a week or two, remove to full sun 1 end 65 or 70 degrees. Un ess the plants get this cold, dark start they will develop too quickly , and small sickly Rowe s retier ult, usually they come out of the cellar only a few _we ts before bloomin .

Fold a hand. kerchief or napkin so as to make a smooth pail and keep it firmly in place by a bandage or by a towel tightly pinned. When you cannot make a pad work well, hot water may arrest the bleeding and prevent discoloration. Ice cold applications have the same effect, and they are better than hot ones for a black eye. It is a good plan also to compress a bruise under the eye by a mass of cotton 'or soft cloths —or by the traditional raw beefsteak.

Late ]latched chickens find a ready market as broilers when they are well fleshed. For broiler trade which calls for birds that are suitable for broil- ing, chickens should not exceed 21b pounds in weight. Even those that weigh less than 114 pounds to the paid find a, market under the name of squab broilers. In Bulletin No. 20 of the Depart- ment of Agriculture at Ottawa, "Pre- paring Poultry Produce for Market" Mr. aflford, Dominion Poultry flus bandman, recommends finishing broil- ers on a palatable mash in a clean. Yard where the birds are net encour- aged to run oft their fiesh with too much place to move gout, The mash is preferably mixed with milk, and should contain some green food. It is very important that the utmost cleatt- liuess be observed' both in the feeding utensils and in the yard and roosting places, and care must be exercised to keep the birds free from lice. Bleeding through the mouth and dry plucking are advised for birds to be sold dressed. If the weather s warns and local killing facilities not good, it may pay to ship alive. For dressed broilers the pasteboard carton (i inches high, 6 inches wide and 11 inches long is a very suitable package for 2 or 3 broilers according to their size.
