Harmonizing Influence Adds Greatly to Beauty of Grounds. In every land, under almost any and all conditions, there is a peculiar charm about water gardens that no other fea- ture or garden accessory exerts. In a land naturally devoid of water such gardens have an additional value, for nowhere else will vegetation grow so splendidly fresh and vigorous, so near- ly rivaling the luxuriance of the trop- ics as beside water. So, too, is there a harmonizing and mellowing influence about water that provides a safe and easy ground upon which the amateur may practice..his works: and display his taste without being about to spofl the great !undn- ‘mental dominating the scene—the vety it ‘will still'be Water, with that naturpl Man may force his bad taste upon ev- ery other square foot of his garden, but is powerless to overcome this great natural fundamental which of itself may ‘possess the only charm the gar- den knows.. In seeking to analyze this unperish- able charm it would seem that with the presence of water aré unconscious- ly suggested comfort and refreshment; for man may. scarcely -perish for lack of food and water when fresh water abounds, and therefore comfort is un- thinkingly brought to one by this un- derlying; unconscious feeling of safety when near this precious, life giving fluid, emotions which no mere land has the power to stir. ‘Water gardens are not, as too many seem to fear, a very costly feature of the -home grounds. The - total cost is | represented in the first cost—that of installation. For example, the evapo- ration, or loss of water for a hundred square feet of lake or pond is not so great as from an equal area of lawn. The material used for retention of wa- ter is practically indestructible, and ponds built more than a centpry ago are still giving forth luxuriant blos- soms without having had a penny spent upon them for repairs. Hardy water lilies and other aquatic plants | in this favored clime usually so thrive that one is forced to throw awsy a sur- plus instead of being called upon to replenish; as is offen thei case WIth| eastern water gardens So let us have more, larger and better lakes and CONCERNING TREE PLANTING. | Saplings Should Be Set Out With a View to the Future. The close setting of trees'is largely | responsible for the deformed arboreal growth we now:have in many of our: cities. We occasionally see rows ot‘ trees that have become hedges fortyf and fifty feet hfzh with numerous dead | | branches on the inside and whole dead trees here and there, though nearly all | such examples are in rural districts. Out in the open we see trees growmg so. close together that no one of them ! 'Y BEAUTIFUL { the latter months of the year that wiil has a good form. Each is struggling to get out. into the light. It is the hardest thing in the world to. induce: men to look forward for twenty-five ' years and take the growth of trees mto consideration. Had our ancestors planned for the future we should not now have a mass of deformed trees, many of them fit' only to be grubbed out and cast iuto the fire. ‘When we are planflng trees | there is no reason why the plantmg[ should not be done in a manner that| will give us satisfaction now and those | that come after us in future years. Besides, even in our lifetime a sym- | metrical tree with sunshine all around it is perhaps as beautiful as the tree ‘whose branches mingle with those of adjoining trees. SHOULD BURN ALL WEEDS. Trouble Next Season Would Then Be Greatly Lessened. If all the weeds upon that vacant lot next to a garden have not been de- | stroyed they should be burned forth- | with. Burned'’at this time, the greater burned, and you will not then be so badly troubled with weeds next year. Mature weeds should be "burned where they grow, if possible, and not be staked up in heaps, for any move of dry weeds shakes out the seeds and leaves them oh the soil, to be started:; into life and more weeds with the first rain of the season. Burn the crop as; it stands, if possible. & 4 The Garden Mole. Do not condemn the garden mole without evidence that he iS harming your garden.

Softness Is Desirable. All dwellings of the present day are obtrusive to as great an extent as those of any age since man first builded, but ‘we need not add to their conspicuous- | ness: by inharmonious colors in paints and stains. - Nature gives us soft col- ors and tints, and these we should strive to imitate in the exterior of all buildings. During the long, cloudless days of summer nothing in local landscapes is more offensive or harsher to the eyes than glaring white. Softened or warm- ed into creamy white the “glare™ dis- dppears and a softness is manifested in its stead. Pure Yellow is equally harsh and should be toned down' to buff or a straw color.

All the blood in thé body is coursing through the kidneys constantly to be treed of poisonous mater. It is a heavy |3 enough task when the kidneys are well, but a cold, ¢hill, fever or some thoughtless exposure is likely to irri- tate, inflame and congest the kidneys and interrupt the purifying work. Then the aching frequently begins and is often accompanied by some ir- regularity of the urine—too frequent vassages, sediment or retention. Thou- sands testify to the wonderful merit |} of Doan’s Kidney Pills, a remedy for the kidneys only, that has been used in kidney troubles 50 years. You will make no mistake in following|# this Bemidji citizen’s advice. Henry Revor, 808 Bemidji avenue, Bemidji, Minn., says: “I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills: procured :from | Barker’s Drug Store, with splendid|Y results.

ROSES NEED REST. Bushes Should Be Allowed to Do With- . out. Water Several Months. Rosebushes that are not now pro:- ducing blossoms or did not have blooms. last season should be allowed to rest by neglecting to water them for " three months. By the end of this period they.will have become nearly dormant, the small and useless wood |} may have iwilted somewhat, and some leaves may have turned yellow and{H dropped. Happy the garden owners whose rosebushes -have so rusted, for he shall inherit a crop of blossoms in cause his heart to rejoice. Before wa- tering and starting ‘them into active growth cut.out all small, weak growth, ledving but a few heavy canes, and cut {§J most of the heads off from these. ‘% into active growth water often and | heavily and also fertilize heavily. Keep the_soil well worked up, not deeply, |§ i but frequently. That you will then have fine roses in abundance you may rest ‘assured. A little close observa- tion of just ‘what you do this year, bushes thrive and produce, will profit & you much in the handling of your roses in years to come. | TREE PLANTING IN NORWAY. Mountains to Be Covered With Forests as In Olden Times. The coast land of western Norway is | { almost devoid of forests except where | i protection is afforded from the sea |§d winds. The bulk of the forests, con- sisting of pine, birch and spruce, are ; found further in the interior at the heads of the fiords and in the valleys. The Bergen Tree Planting society was | founded in 1900 to rehabilitate the rap- idly dwindling forests and maintain additions made from time to time with the society’s slender means. ciety has undertaken a monstrous task, one that will require many years and large expenditures of money and labor, sides and the untillable areas of west- ern Norway with forests as they were centuries ago. Since the society started thirteen: b yeaTrs ago 36.G06,000 young trees have been produced. of which more than hus counties. The annual report shows that there are now 144 tree planting so- | | { cieties in these counties. which last year planted. 2,276,000 trees. Flight of Winged Seeds. How far do the winged seeds range from the parent tree? Dr. Ridley of those from a large forest tree and found them to travel more than 100 yards. Plumed seeds, like those of the; dandelion, or finely powdered seeds; edsily travel far greater distances than/ winged seeds or samars. It would] seem that wings on seeds do a fnll entrance to the soil than by wafting them, by the aid of wind, to great dis- tances. According to Dr. Ridley, the tree observed by him would spread but 300 yards in 100 years.—Los An- geles Times. Get a Social Center.
