Roses may be planted quite successâ€" fully in the fall, but, considering the fact that so many rose bushes are killâ€" ed outright each winter, especially in Eastern Canada, it seems scarcely worth while to buy plants and then to take this risk of losing them. It is important, however, to have rose plants on hand to set out at the first opportunity in spring, in order that they might be well established before hot weather. While those tosts are valuable as an indication of what can be done with skimâ€"milk and milk products in the production of bacon, the sure criterion of profit lies in the ability of the sow The fall is the best time to plant most herbaceous perennials, and the earlier these can be set out after the soil is likely to remain moist, the stronger plants they will make and the greater display of bloom there should be from them the following season. Getting Rid of the Loafing Hen. BY C. 8. PLATT. In every flock, regardless of the age of the birds, there are some each year that quit laying during the summer, and will not begin until late the next winter. These hens can never make up the loss completely, and the good manâ€" ager weeds them out as soon as they become unprofitable. to fm:;;)vw and raise a large number of pigs to six or eight woeks of age.

My profits, per bird, from June to November, amountâ€" ed to sixty cents more per bird than they had even been before, and as the prices were about the same during that season as they had been previousâ€" ly, I gave all credit for the increase in profit to the simple fact that I had not been feeding loafers.

The knowledge of which Paul speaks is the knowledge of the heart rather than that of the mind. Count . . but dung. _ Paul does not seek to strike a balance between his losses for Christ and his gains in Christ. His losses are not worth countâ€" ing. They are like things cast on the rubbish pile. Paul, the Tarsian. The preâ€"Chrisâ€" tian days of Paul are full of interest for us. No man leaves all his past behind him. The interests of the earlier period have a modifying effect on all subsequent experience. Paul, the Christian apostle, seems, and is, a very different person from Paul, the Pharisee; and yet it is possible to unâ€" duly minimize the things that are comâ€" mon to both periods,. We can be sure that it was not only as a Christian missionary, under obligation to deâ€" fend himself, that he was glad and proud to remember and tell of his status as a citizen of Tarsus, and moreover that he enjoyed the priviâ€" leges and immunities of a Roman citiâ€" zen. And again, whatever emancinpaâ€" tion of thought there was when he heard the Gospel and learned the truth of Christ, there can be no doubt that what he earlier learned at the feet of the great Rabbi, Gamaliel, tinctured his doctrine. "It is easy to keep this outfit clean and sanitary. The only part of it I can‘t move to the fields for the fall farrowing season is the concrete. I move the houses out to fresh pastures in the spring, as soon as the pigs get a good start." Paul, the Christian. Paul was a great Christian. _ Everything else seems subordinate to this great deterâ€" minative fact. Christ was everything to him. The love of Christ constrainâ€" ed him, urged and impelled him to all that heroic missionary life of privaâ€" tion and peril. eR e Paul has no honor and no friend but Christ. Christ was to him both Savâ€" iour and Lord. "I live; yet not I; but Christ liveth in me: and the life which 1 Drainage is necessary but in many \ cases is cared for by the natural slope of the ground or the type of soil, for usually the house site has been chosen on wellâ€"drained land. Preparation of | the land by plowing, harrowing, gradâ€" ‘ing and rolling, etc., follows. And ‘here a point should be strongly emâ€" | phasized: It is that care must be ‘taken to remove all stones, sticks and |rubbish before preparation is comâ€" : pleted. In regard to grading, where the lawn is large and not desired perâ€" fectly level, the natural contours of the land may be followed more or less. Long, swelling, easy lines of grade are ‘desired where space admits, although in general a level effect is maintained. When the grading has been accomâ€" plished and the seed bed put in the very finest possible condition by cultiâ€" vation and, if the land should be poor, 10 to 15 tons per acre of wellâ€"rotted manure plowed under or a good leâ€" guminous cover crop plowed in will help bring this about, it is ready for | seeding.

Where horseâ€"power and farm implements are available lawnâ€"making can be casily handled by just applying the same principles as would be used in making a small lawn by hand work. When the grass has reached 4 to 5 inches in height it should be eut with a scythe. IfA lawn mower is used it must be very sharp. Weekly cuiâ€" tings in moist damp weather should follow, as frequent cuttings thicken THE LAWN â€"â€"â€" A FOUNDATION FOR THE LANDSCAPE SCHEME 8, Use of Manure and Fertilizerâ€" After a dry summer it is often parâ€" ticularly desirable to use an applicaâ€" tion of manure in the fall. The best form to apply this dressing is as comâ€" post or very wellâ€"rotted, short manure. Weed seeds are to a great extent eliminated, the appearance is not so unsightly and it is not hard to clean up in the spring after such a dressing. In the spring. frequently, about 100 lbs. of nitrate of soda per acre is used just when growth is first starting. This may be followed in two weeks by another mpplication and a month later by a third. But if for the secâ€" ond application, or it might be comâ€" bined with the first, some such fertilâ€" izer as tankage or fish meal were used it would come into availability over a long period and as the grass plants needed it. 2. Renewal of Bare Spois and Reâ€" seedingâ€"If bare spots should occur on the lawn fill them in with good fertile goil and reâ€"seed. Likewise it is often necessary and desirable to apply new seed at intervals over the whole lawn, giving a crop of new and fresh plants to fill in any weak spots and to strengthen the whole lawn surface. Once the lawn is established it must still be cared for and to properly maintain it the following things must all be considered: 1. Weedingâ€"A weedy lawn is unâ€" desirable; dandelions and plantains are usually the most troublesome weeds. Both may be spudded out, or for dandelions an effective treatment has proven to be a 25 per cent. soluâ€" tion of iron sulphate applied in three applications during August or Septemâ€" ber. The grass does not appear to be injured and the dandelions are very noticeably reduced. Get this book! You cannot offerd to be withont it. It costs you nothing!
