This is particu- larly true where a fairly large num- ber of plants are wapted and also where unusual colors or varieties are desired. 'Early June is the best time to get started. One is well advised to start most perennials in a special nursery bed, except, perhaps such things as Oriental poppies which are rather difficult to transplant and should be sown where planted per- manently. With the remainder se- cure seed from a reliable firm. With perennials more than other flowers the seed. is very important, as there is liable to be a good deal of mixing and old seed with' most of the flowers is absolutely. no •good. Prepare a -fine bed in some portion o'f the garden where there is good drainage arid preferably a little shade in the Mid- dle of the day, • The seed is sown here in rows about three or four in- ches apart. With all but the larger seeds, simply press firmly into the earth. Keep the ground' free a£ weeds, well cultivated, and until the seed germinates water with a fine spray every evening. Thin out plants and provide a Eight protection of leaves or straw the first winter. Next spring transplant to permanent quar- ters. Give Them Room. Two of the most common mistakes made by the average gardener are planting the seed too deep and crowd- ing. A safe rule to follow is never to plant deeper 'than about three tines the diameter of the seed, which will mean mere pressing into the soil for carrots, lettuce and such vege t blew one to three inches for beans and Peas, fAX to ten inches for Glad - kolas, Dahlias and fall bulbs and a- gain mere :,,pressing fqr such flower seeds as Alyssum, 'Calliopsis, Poppies and Delphiniums. Practically all Wags sown from: seed whether they be vegetables or ,.fowers require same, thinning. One should 'bear in mind the size of the mature ;plant and al- low 'half as much space between as the plant is high. Even quickly nee ed up things such as lettuce, radish and spinach require a little thinning and the same is true for rows of Alyssum. Thinning results in sturd- ier and quicker growing plants. Members of the Squash Family. a Musk and watermelons, squash and cucumbers may be safely planted as soon as the weather and soil *arm up. These all prefer open, well - drained ground, and 'plenty of fertili- zer. An old chip pile where some well -rotted mapure has been dug in, and which is open to the sun all day, is an ideal location. Plant six seeds to tie hill, with hills three feet apart, and later thin to four plants in each hill. Melons must be full ripe before using, but marrows, cu- cumbers and Summer squash are us- ually consumed when about half grown. This is also the proper time td' -,set out egg plants, and the first of the celery.

With a highly seasoned sauce such as oyster -educe, tabasco, or Worcestershire, this is an unusual and decidedly savory bit.' A Threat For Cut Worms. ,About- this time, 'beans, tomatoes, corn and other vegetables and flower plants start toppling over, and an ex- amination of the stems at the surface of the ground will usually reveal that a cut -worm has been busy. In fact, a little digging around will usually disclose the culprit himself, a fat, gray worm about two inches long. This pest can be•destroyed by a mix- ture of bran, syrup, lemons, water' and Paris green combined in the pro- per proportions, and sprinkled pre- ferably in the evening about the base of the plants. The syrup and lemons attract the worm, bran gives the mixture bulk, and Paris green - serves as an inexpensive and quick - acting 'poison. The following mixture will suffice for one acre: Bran, 4 pounds; `Paris green, 1-5 of a pound; cheap syrup, a scant pint; 3'4 of a lemon, and 3'4 gallon water. The 'bran and Paris green are mixed dry. The juice of the lemon is squeezed in- to the water, and the peel and pulp chopped to fine bits and added. The syrup is then dissolbed in the water and fruit juice mixture and the liq- uid stirred into the bran and Paris green thoroughly in order to dampen it evenly. This 'bait should be spread along the rows of 'vegetables or se3t- tered over strawberry and other beds where the worms are active. Cheese Bob. These are especially appropriate for small children to make because they are quite simple. Blocks of fairly soft Canadian cheese are wrapped in bacon,' and the same procedure as above carried out. Soft buns toasted make the best wrapper for this combination. Grown-up taste calls fqr a leaf of lettuce with the cheese -bacon ensemble and it id very easy to ,provide it. Take along a `head of 'clean iceberg lettuce in a dampened paper sack or cloth wrap- ped in a waxed paper. ' Kill Weeds By Chemicals. There are now many chemical weed killers on the market, which have proved very successful in wiping oat small plots of these pests and for cleaning up driveways and paths. For poison icy, one application any time during the growing season has been effective, according to Professor J. E. Howitt, of the Ontario Agricultural College. Other weeds eliminated in this way are ox -eye daisy, bind weed, Canada thistle, and most of those things like dandelions which make so many lawns unsightly. able•,{itltaub,°>yditurb»g"e9't,ap. canditxgns 'ifl ca ada. •' :Call (osiers '111" anada accused lay bonds: and stocks -at 8'reater value at current quotation,- than. the loans' stare ah 16,641;610;' as.eompared with $11,641;487at lithe same 'date last year, The total of current loans trade to manufacturers,' farnte's, ;perchantsl and others is reported at $336,612.,- •.:. ;Deposits have held up. remarkably wall under ,grevailing .conditions.

A Word to Wives Dona throw out sour cream or milk! If more of the famous chefs of the world could be induced to tell their secrets of imparting inimitable and intriguing flavors to their dishes we might discover that sour cream was at the bottom of many of them. For while sweet cream enriches a dish, cream that is soured adds not telly richness but distinction. Fore eign cooks have learnedthis lesson much better than our own, but with the free exchange of cookery lore to- day their methods no longer have 2ny geographical boundary lines. Here are some recipes for using sour cream in .a variety of dishes, includ- ing both desserts and entrees. Sour Cream Pie. Let's Pack Up a Picnic , In the Good Old . Kit Bag Picnic days are here again! So, let's pack up a picnic in the old kit bag and go jaunting off to the rivers and hills. If ' properly planned a picnic can be as much fun for mother as the children and the important thing is to figure out th'e contents of the picnic basket with that end in view. Sandwiches are the old stand-by of picnics, of course, and are cer- tainly "tidy" and nice for the young- sters. But, if you are taking father along he will want -something a lit- tle :.t re substantial. So salads ars the'est if the picnic is to be pre- pared beforehand, and there are all kinds of delicious, tempting hot things that can be prepared right on the site of the picnic if you are go- ing in for a bonfire, A ,bonfire is the real way to give the mother of the family a holiday, because father and the children will want to'. de all the work when it is "playing with fire." Have you heard of oyster bob and cheese bob for the bonfire •picnic? They can be prepared in a few min- utes and will be eaten even more quickly. Then we have such in- triguing thirtgs as device food cake and mock angel food, as well as chicken' salad and delicious sand- wich fillings.

Devil's Food Cake. The Egyptian Oven And The Modern • Incubator A glance at the up-to-date incuba- tors now in general use would lead one to believe that this descendant is a long way removed from its .ances- tor, the old Egyptian hatching oven that was in operation thousands of years before Christ and is still used in that Old 'hand. The ancient incubator is really a mud house in. which everything is done from the inside, the eggs are placed in a separate room, the heat is applied from within, and the op- erator does his work from the inside as well. The, modern incubator has the heat automatically applied from without, and instead of a smudge burning for days to raise :the temper- ature high enough so that the eggs may be put in, a button is.' pressed and electricity quickly heats the egg chamber tothe deejred temperature. The Egyptian, sweltering :in a tem- perature of 103, and crouched in a very uncomfortable position, turned the eggs by hand, one by one. The modern attendant touches a lever and the whole lot is turned in an instant. . Nor has the attendant to -day to guess at the temperature of the egg chamber as was the case -and still is -in the old style; a thermom- eter in plain view indicates the exact temperature and a thermostat keeps it at any given point by automatical- ly turning the electricity off and on. In the old incubator humidity was introduced by means of moist straw or by sprink ing water on the floor and walls. • Humidifying is modern- ized to the reservoir and the electric fan. 1 cup sugar. 1 cup sour cream 3. eggs 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1 cup chopped raisins.

The late Dwight Morrow, well known U.S. fiancier and diplomat, is said to have adopted as a rule of life: "Don't take yourself too seriously." The princi- ple thus couched in different words governs in large measure the eon - duct of the modern newspaper, under its sense of loyalty to its humblest reader. It must present' the riews of the day+', and as attractively as pos- sible, consistent with the facts. This marks the stage of evolution in which the newspaper becomes, as it were, a representative citizen in con- tradistinction to serving as a partis- an, or political or personal organ, as too frequently was the case a quar- ter of a century or less' ago. In those days daily newspapers were publish- ed in most of the smaller cities and larger towns. In some , cases two or three claimed one municipality as their place of publication, and in aa endeavor to gain public eclat they waged verbal war on one another, even to the very verge of bel. One after another gradually (sed either through merger with a sister pub- lication, or in the exigencies of business. In the success or failure of these enterprises, the conception of news values played no inconsid- erable part, The paper that gave the community the -news of the day firmly established itself in contrast to : the one which as a matter of policy_, suppressed items of general interest. Discussing "news," the Durham Chronicle recently cited, to illustrate its point, a police court case at Owen Sound in which it said that County Crown Attorney W. D. Henry and Police Magistrate E. C..Spereman hit the nail on the head when they cen- sured the defendant woman in an abduction case for announcing to the world that a little six-year-old girl was her illegitimate daughter. The mother was saddling on this in- nocent little piece of humanity something _ from which the child would nearer recover, and which the 'public would never forget, and states, that in the name of "news" some newspapers also contributed to the publicity, and one daily even went so far as to publish all the details of the case. "Is it right?" the Glironieteeasks. Public utilities have always caused sharp divisions among citizens. This is true in small as well as large cen- tres of population. • Memory goes back to the early days o1 the present century, when in St. Catharines an eledtric power fight was raging, in- volving -the water supply of the city*. Sir James 'Whitney and Sir Adam Beck 'had not yet. launched . their great Hydro -Electric project, The city -was paying in the vicinity 'of $85 ped' year per street light, and its water suPPly passed through the bed Of a ereek whose -course lay in prox- imity to barnyards ,of the farms through whieh the stream flowed. The City Council had many bitter fights over the renewal of the light- ing contraet, and the three newspa- pers, of the ,city entered 'with fervor, and not without bitterness, into the • I fray. "Bought" was a word bandied,. about freely, but renewal advocates were -never permitted to see 'their views 'published in the paper sup- porting the rival concern which had tendered for the contract, -and vice versa. The only mention of the names of such reputable citizens in the `organ" of the other side came with an accusation of dishonesty or graft. The same policy was pursued in connection with a proposal to re- move a chief of police who had grown old in the service, but who had; no money with which to retire, The municipality had no ' superannuation . scheme, but the county judge, who was chairman of the Police Commis- sion, suggested, after conference with the chief, that he resign and accept appointment as truant officer at a salary of $365 a year. The 'battle over the issue was joined by the mayor opposing the scheme -en the ground that it was virtually super- annuating the official whom, he con- -tended, should be dismissed: "Liar'' andother epithets equally offensive were exchanged by the mayor and the judge, but, after several stormy meetings of the commission, the judge succeeded in winning the sup- port of the police magistrate and the chief became truant officer. It should be said, however, that the reports of hese heated sessions as published in the local press, were written to suit the tastes of the pro- tagonists the respective papers fa- vored. It is recalled that some fifteen years ago the '.Hamilton ,Spectator, co-ops. erating with the health department of the city, published a story that caused .a food manufacturing con- cern to purge its fruit and sugar bins of vermin and mice. The result was not achieved, though, until a libel suit was fought in the courts, the firm in question claiming damages for injury done its business by the publication of the article referred to,. while the newspaper's defence was public service. The late Sir William Ralph Meredith, Chief Justice of On- tario, was on the bench and on either side George 1' Shepley, K C., and George Tate Blackstock, K.C., both since_: deceased, were legal counsel. The publication of this story was not due to a desire t6 be 'sensational, "fo_ the journal was in no sense "yellow," .. but was deliberate as in the public interests. And this, on the whole, is the viewpoint of the press in the presentation of the day's happenings. Semi -Annual Report - Is Very Strong 4 tablespoons water. - 1 cup sugar 1 egg white.
