secured immediately and planted so

!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

FINISHING BROILERS.
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.
