On small places harmony in plants is much harder to secure than on those of greater scope. So often does the average owner haye a list of plants he most fancles and into the garden somewhere, somehow, these plants must go. Nor is his taste at fault. It 18 proper and fitting that he should have what he wants or most admires. A great deal of skill is needed, how- ever, if he is to have harmonious ef- fects from many sorts of plants in a small compass, says the Los Angeles Times. But when we step into a large gar- den we expect to see more of order and harmony of detail, also some central or fundamental scheme manifest upon which the whole revolves or rests. There is too much of really stupid planting in local gardens due to lack of study In planting—a plea for the services of one who knows. All col- ors, habits, climatic requirements and characters are put into one hopeless Jungle, with the result that such gar dens are not only lacking in character, but of interest, and certainly fail to attract any one. Our parks are also full of this meaningless planting, anc iherefore where we should be able to look for examples of good planting we meet with rank disappeintment and failure. One of the chief faults in both park and garden lies in the ina- bhity, or perhaps unwillingness, of planters to distinguish between funda- mentals and incidentals. Any plant i not so valuable for itself as for the part it plays in helping to make the pleture. Tree and shrub masses and groups are fundamentals. A single plant is an incidental. Small flower- ing plants are the merest incidentals used to brighten the scene. KILLING WEEDS IN PATHS. Poisoning the Earth With Oil Proves the Best Method. Several methods are resorted to in killing weeds in paths and roads, and the writer belleves that the best and. in the end the cheapest. is the use of crude ofl or petroleum. Better still. clean weeds out of roads and paths first. Shape latter up as you wish them, roll smooth and hard and apply crude oil with a watering can baving a coarse rose or sprinkler. Sift fine sand in oil and allow it to get some- what dry, then roll again, having enough sand on top so the ofl will not stick to the roller. After a few days the oil will be dry enough to allow sweeping the surplus sand up and re- moving it. If such paths are frequent- Iy rolled there will soon be weedless paths that are in good order for all time. But for simply killlng weeds and rendering the soil unfit for their future growth no poison is better than white arsenic. It is the cheapest of all poi- sons and effectually destroys all plant life. One pound of the arsenic to a barrel of water should be strong enough. Dissolve the arsenlc in a small quantity of hot water and add to the barrel of cold water. This solu- tion may be applied with a spray pump or a sprinkling can. Care should be taken that the poison dries up or evap- orates in the paths, for rain or a gar- den hose left leaking might carry this poison to some tree or shrub, resulting in sure death. If the solution as here given does not kill all the weeds make it stronger; the cost is very little. Turnips. Turnips require a rich soil, and grow best on freshly broken land. They may be sown broadcast after some other crop has been removed, generally dring July or August. Thsy should grow rapidly in rich, sandy goll, free from fresh manure.

The village cynic of Butherford, N. J., told John H. Williamson that grass would not grow in his yard. This was just’ after Mr. Wiliamson had bought an unsightly lot in that village and moved there. And at first it seemed as If the cynic was right. The back yard was composed largely of red Jersey sand and rocks. The idea of converting it into the prettiest gar den in the town seemed absurd. But Mr. Willlamson wanted a gar- den. He wanted flowers and lots of them. - He wanted to dig in the earth and wanted roses for his friends. He set out to show the populace of Ruther- ford that; flowers could be made to grow in Jersey sand. Now he has one of the most beautiful gardens in that state, and his neighbors, inspired by his success or envious of his achievement. have likewlse improved their yards. - Spots which two years ago were dumping grounds for tin cans are now magnificent gardens. The ef- fect of the single garden has been mar. velous, The first thing Mr. Willlamson did was to get the sand and rocks out of his yard. Every afternoon he hauled a wheelbarrow full of rocks to the woods, a half mile away. On his re turn' trip _he brought a load of good wood soil, In one month he had two flower beds, This ‘was in the middle of May, and the question arose, What shall I plant? MR. WILLIAMSON'S ROSE GARDEN. It would take an entire year to get a good stock of perennials from seed. Therefore he sowed a varlety of an- nuals and made a hotbed and a cold frame. Then he bought a number of rosebushes and tried his hand at plant- ing clippings in the hotbed. The re- sults were strong, healthy plants for the next. year, a majority of.which were kept In the cold trames. In two years the spot of Jersey sand and rock has been converted into a beautiful garden. It is situated on a prominent street corner, and all pass- ersby take notice.~His neighbors ask- ed questions and begged for clippings and advice, which were freely given. Everybody wants a garden like Wil- lijamson’s. Today the entire neighborhood shows the effect of what can be done if one only tries.;, Mr. Willlamson says his greatest. JJy’ was when he presented the cynic with a bouquet of roses grown on the t where grass would ‘not grow. .1 ¢ Mr. Willlamson has ‘recently been awarded first prize for having thée pret- tiest back yard in Rutherford. : He has can be done by energy, and a ‘desire to have a flowers. e WRITE |ADS.

Minute Parasite Véry Troublesome to Fowls. One of the parasites that troubles fowls is the scaly-leg mite. It .is so small that you cannot see it with the naked eye, ‘but it crawls under. the scales of the legs and toes and by biting raises a small blister which dries and forms a crust. Many of these blisters run together and the _ | crusts form one large scab, which is | both unsightly and uncomfortable. It is very easy to get rid of this mite. Wash the leg with soap ‘and ‘warm water, and after it dries, apply kerosene, then a day or two later ap- ply cottonseed oil, lard or vaseline. —A. C. Smith, Professor of Poultry: ; Husbandry, .

The infection may extend along under the bark, killing and blackening the twig, and oftén progressing into the branches. It may also get into the trunk, either through pruning wounds or through shoots growing out from the trunk. It may then causé the so called body blight. Infection takes 'place mnot only through the flowers, but also through tender shoots, water sprouts, suckers, or spurs. For this reason,-in.orchards where the blight has gained a foot- hold, nothing should be done which would encourage rapid growth. Un- fortunately the same conditions which are conducive to a vigorous growth of the tree are also conducive to the rapid spread of the blight. The. germs are killed in many of the branches during the winter, but in some they remain alive and be- come active again in the spring. These so called holdover cankers are the source of new infection. Often on such cankers drops of a milky liquid are exuded and sometimes there is so \much exudate that it runs down the trunk. The liquid contains countless numbers of the bacteria, insects are attracted to it and thus carry it to other trees. The. only practicable method of eradicating the blight from an or- chard is by cutting away all blight- ed wood. % This is most conveniently done in Findvﬁ)uyw for the Second-Hand things which you no longer need—Through ¢ “For Sale” Ad. late summer or fall after the sea- eon’s growth {s over. At this time the blighted portions are quite easily de- tected. Every bit of blighted wood should be cut out, even if it neces- sitates the sacrifice of the whole tree. The branches should, always be taken off some digtance back from the clearly diseased parts in order to in- sure cutting out all the infected” wood. In the spring the orchard should be carefully examined and any lmbs which may have been missed in the fall should be removed. During the summer frequent inspections should be made and the blight cut out when- ever it appears. Since the disease is contagious the pruning knife should be disinfected after every limb is cut Corrosive sublimate dissolved in wa ter at the rate of one part to one thousand parts of water is best for this purpose. A cloth soaked in the solution may be used to swab the pruning instrument, or it may be dipped directly into the solution. The wild . crabapple, thornapple, Juneberry or service berry, and the mountain ash may be affected with the same disease. These should, there- fore, be treated the same as apple trees. 7 Co-operation is absolutely necessary.

Nasal discharge of horses may be due to catarrhal trouble of the nose, including certain sinuses or cavities in the bones of the head, which com- municate with the nose. It may be due’ to tumors or growths of various kinds which occur in the nose. It may be due to glanders or to bad teeth. If the discharge is due to catarrhal troubles in case of sinuses there is likely to be a little bulging of the face bones over the upper part of the nose quite commonly on one side.- i the trouble is due to diseased teeth there 18 a strong characteristic odor easily recognized as the odor of de- cayed teeth. This is noticeable in the breath and especially in the saliva. Since there is always a possibility that the trouble may be due to glan- ders those who handle such horses should be on their guard. A person may easily take glanders by’ inoccu- lation. There is ajways danger of in- fection from a glandered horse when a horse sneezes or blows the nose in such a way as to spray fine particles into the eye, nose or mouth of a per- son, or when such discharge comes in} contact with an abraded skin. A tiny scratch or even a hang nail may give an, abundant opportunity for fatal in- occulation.
