liriously Fra arrant. Nature not only lavishly bestows her choice rifts in the way of flowers the brightest hours of sunshine, but provides a share for the evenln . bloomers. Brucmansia suaveolens with all its names and its Immense trumpet shaped flowers delicionsly perfumed, is worthy a place in every greenhouse. It soon forms a shapely tree and hangs out its white or pink trumnets of corded silk, more beautl ful In the evening than at other times .-'iinkla subeordata. known as the plantain lily, unfurls its waxen white blossoms, the very embodiment of pu rity, fragrance and beauty. Ferhaps there are two or three dozen buds on a stem, two or three opening every evening and closing at break of day until all have acted their part. The evening primrose, Oenothera that opens with a ghost of a sound while you stand beholding it, like the buttercup, has absorbed the golden sunbeams. A huge plant of grandiflora bears a withering up look in the day time, but at eventide a change over takes it, and it becomes a mass of rich lemon yellow flowers. Nieotlana affinis has tubular, star Bhaoed flowers, exomsitely fragrant This plant when carrying its spikes aloft looks very sickly during the day but directly eventide arrives it bright ens up and presents a starry mass of -whiteness with exauisite sweetness. Other evening scented flowers are of much more' "modest dimensions and colorinsrs. Take the night scented stock, a little simple thing with most delicious perfume. The popular mignonette, too, never smells sweeter than during an early summer evening, when the atmosphere is charged with the rising dew. The hand of nature alone can fashion such favors. Donftld Macdonald. KIEFFER PEARS. Saining? Favor In the Went Popular Fear For Canning;. This exhibit of Kieffer pears was grown in Shawnee county, Kan., and represents first class selected market stock. This variety is gaining much favor throughout the west, although the planting of extensive orchards throughout the middle states has re sulted in the glutting of the market at COMUEItCIAIi KXEFFEB FXABS. times. This is largely due to Injudicious marketing, since Kieffers are good keeping pears and therefore adapted to storage purposes. The bulk of Kieffers grown In eastern orchards are sold direct to canTiers. So many have been planted in Maryland. Delaware, New Jersey and other central and eastern states that the price has been very low for the past few years. A considerable number of young orchards are being planted in the south, particularly in the Carollnas. "While the Kieffer Is a tremendous bearer. Its quality does not commend It to popular favor to the fruit eating public. It Is primarily a canning pear and when properly processed is very hard to beat for this purpose. It is frequently canned and sold as a Bart lett. American Agriculturist. Should Be Sky Bine. When bordeaux mixture is properly prepared it is of a brilliant sky blue color. If the lime be air slaked or oth erwlse inferior In quality, resulting In a . bad mixture, the preparation will have a greenish cast, and If this Is very pronounced the mixture will Injure the foliage. A Neglected Orchard. An old, , neglected orchard can be greatly benefited by removing all the tuckers from the main limbs, trunks and around the roots of the trees and cutting away all the dead wood. STRAY PETALS Strike geranium cuttings for next Season's stock. a . Lobelia plants are easily grown from .the seed now ripening if sown promptly. Start plants of oxalis Into growth for tose In the window later. Keep the seedling pansies In thrifty growth. Clumps of lilies "of the valley, peonies, phlox and other perennials are divided and reset as soon as they have finished growth for the season. Lift from the border and repot roses that are wanted for winter flowering. Violets for winter and spring bloomVerbena plants to be kept over are test started from tender shoots In the Watering with liquid manure Is a fine thing to bring out the most brilliant bloom of the trltomas. Keep primroses cool and slightly watered. A little shade until the middle of October will not hurt the double white ones. Tree Seed a. All trees have seeds. In nme, how ever, the seeds are so smay in proportion to the size of the tri that they altogether escape ordinary notice. r - CMICMCSTCR'S tf 1EflllYROYA PILLS THE DIAMOND IdlMl Ask TOOT ud Kola nuri with Blue Ribbon. tmJt ra.Mkrr.

oejow tne refrigerator, as shown. The Ice compartment also has a door outside the building. By filling the ice compartment through a door outside the muss so often made of dragging ice through' the house is obviated, concludes a writer in American Cultivator. Union Grofrlnajr. Onion growing has received greatly increased attention the last few years. Particularly is this true hi our middle west, vjbere large and increasing areas are given over to this crop in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, etc. A fascinating and somewhat hazardous crop, due partly . to the perishable nature of onions and partly to speculative conditions in the big city markets, the question arises, is there danger of farmers overdoing the matter? In some of the older sections where onions have long formed a money crop, such as the Connecticut valley, central New York, northeastern Ohio, the acreage remains about the same from season to season. Orange Judd Farmer. Supplemental Irrigation. It is believed that there are few localities in the arid region where enough water cannot he had for the irrigation of from one to ten acres on each section. It is remarkable how much can be done with a little water where rightly used. Supplemental irrigation Is the insurance of the dry farm, whether the water is confined to intensive cultivation of a small tract or used in emergencies on larger areas. Used in either way its value is so great that farmers need only an understanding cf methods to secure Its general adoption. El wood Meade. Castle Williams).

FIGHTING INSECTS. Soil Preparation la a Very Important Means Open to All. Soil preparation is one of the legiti mate ways of fighting insects. There is not a reputable stockman in the country, who does not understand the worthlessness of a stunted pig, calf, colt or lamb, and who is not aware of the necessity of keeping a young animal in a vigorous, growing condition from its birth. If this is essential with animals it is equally so with cultivated plants. It is the stunted or starved Diant that is more often b prey of insects, though it cannot be said that this holds good in all cases. However, a field of young grain in a healthy growing condition will sustain without material injury an attack that a less vigorous one would not. So far as plants are concerned, it matters little whether a soil is lacking in fertility or whether this fertility is present and beyond reach. There i3 sufficient nutriment in a healthy seed to enable it to throw a shoot upward to light and air and rootlets downward to draw from the soil. But suppose these rootlets go about among solid clods begging, as it were, for food. Stunted plants are no more profitable than stunted animals. A Comparison. Take two fields of equal fertility of soil. One is plowed a considerable time before seeding and is harrowed and worked over until a thoroughly pulverized, compact seed bed is formed. Seed placed in this ground will begin to draw from it as soon as the rootlets enter it, and the plant above ground will be full of vigor. If the first shoot is destroyed by the Hessian fly the result is only to stimulate the throwing up of tillers, and the soil will sustain them. Grain sown late in such a field will soon get sufficient root growth to enable the tillers to withstand the winter. Now, take a second field Indifferently plowed and the surface smoothed over by a single harrowing that has only rattled -a little loose soil down into the spaces between the clods. A rootlet starts out to feed the plant, but goes begging. The single shoot thrown up Is destroyed by the Hessian fly, and the root is unable to find food enough among the clods to sustain tillers, so no tillers are thrown up, and the ctod

is seriously injured by what In the other case resulted rather beneficially than otherwise. D. A. Brodie.

Soweatlona For Cnlverta. Where flat stones are at hand the best culvert that can be made Is shown in Fig. 1. It Is often necessary, however, to bridge a stream across which a single flat stone will not reach. , The plan shown In Fig. 2 can then be used to advantage. This is really CCtVEUT FOR SMALL STEEA1T. an arch and can be extended even farther than shown. The only point to be observed carefully is that the side stones should all be broad and that enough earth is placed "above them to hold them all in place when the weight of the team is at the center of the SMALL AECH CXXVEBT.. span. Fig. 1 needs but little earth. Fig. 2 needs a heavy ballast of earth, concludes a correspondent who makes these suggestions in American Agriculturist. Natural Aversion. "Have a pleasant time sailing on the laker "No; we had a narrow escape." "What was the trouble? "Our catboat got scared by a dog fish."
