UTAH NECKPIECE IS MOST IMPORTANT; FINE ART IN WEARING FLOWERS Propagating Plants by Layering Two Common Form Certain plants may be propagated or multiplied by covering part of the plant with soil. This process Is known a layerage, and Is a very simple way to propagate many common busb fruit plants and shrubs. Gooseberries, currants, raspberries, grapes, rambler roses, lilacs, Japanese barberry and privet hedge are a few of the common plunts easily propagated in this manner. There are two general types of layerage ns shown In the Illustration, sajs the Prutrie Farmer. The first ts known as tip layering and Is the type used with raspberries, grapes and rambler roses. All that Is necessary is to cover the tip of one or several branches of the growing plant with moist soil. That part of the branch which Is covered with soli will take root, and when rooted It can be severed from the parent plant and transplanted as a new plant. All work of layering should be done In the spring after growth starts, and the secret of success lies In keeping the soil ipolst over the covered part. If It dries out, the burled tip will not root Plants which are layered this aprlng will he ready to transplant X7IIAT a disturber of the peace Is the collarless eoat.

Be sure the tip Is thoroughly rooted before severing It from the parent plant It will be well to wait until fall to sever new plunts which grow from layers made the spring before. The other type Is known as mound layering, and consists merely of throwing, or mounding up, soil nbout the base of a growing plant. In this case, too, it Is necessary to keep the mounded up soil from drying out. This type Is most successful on gooseberries, currants, lilacs, Japanese barberry and privet The mounding Is done In spring or enrly summer, and by fall those branches which were covered with soil will have rooted. In the fall or next spring the soil can be removed carefully and the plant dug and divided Into as many new plants as there are branches or stems which bear roots. On black raspberry bushes some of the tips have touched the ground and taken root without having been buried. 'This Is a natural example of tip layering. Run out now and see If you cannot find some natural tip layers among your black raspberry bushes. Caution Farmers Appetite Estimated on a Footage Basis in Buying Seed United States Seed Verified-Origi- n Certifi- cate Is Urged. "IIow much? (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture ) Purchasers of alfalfa seed this season are advised by the bureau of agricultural economics, United States Department of Agriculture, to be especially cautious to buy only seed which Is adapted to their farms. The alfalfa seed crop was relatively small last year, and the correspondingly high prices afford greater opportunity than usual for shippers and dealers to offer unadapted alfalfa seed for sale In localities where only certain varieties may be grown successfully. Bureaus Recommendation. ' The bureaus recommendation applies especially to purchases of common alfalfa seed or that not covered by state certification as to vurlety. In case of doubt as to the best adapted seed to purchase, says the bureau, farmers should consult their county agent or write their state experiment station. Following this. It Is urged be that United States Verlfled-Orlglspecified in making purchases, with the further requirement that a "United Seed Certificate" States Verlfled-Orlgltag be attached to each bag. Forty-siseed deulers in nineteen states have been authorized by the Department of Agriculture to Issue verified origin seed certificates. These dealers handle about 85 per cent of the alfalfa seed produced In central and northern producing districts. They are required to have, so far as possible, all alfalfa seed handled by them (except state certified or Imported seed) verified as to origin through Inspection certificates Issued by federal Inspectors. Where to Obtain Seed. Verifled-orlglalfalfa seed may be obtained either directly from one of the 10 verifled orlgln alfalfa seed dealers or from a retail denier handling verlfled-orlglalfalfa seed under certificate of a verified origin seed dealer. Such seed may cost a little more than seed of nonverlfied origin because of the expense of keeping complete and accurate records and In certificating seeds as to origin, but the additional cost is Insignificant ns compared with the protection which Is given the user of such seed. Government supervision Is maindealtained over the 40 verlfled-orlglers. Should any question arise as to the authenticity aud Identity of any lot alfalfa seed, a of verlfled-orlglsample and certificate should be sent for examination to the bureau of agricultural economies, Washingseed ton, D. C. The verlfled-orlglcertificate relates only to origin of alfalfa seeds, and not to variety, purity, germination, quality, grade, or other factors. n x n n n four-ounc- Grinding Feed at Home Quite Economical Plan Through experimental work carried Purdue university and other agricultural experiment stations. It has been found that there Is a considerable saving In grinding feed at home and that the power cost U usually f that of the to from cost of custom grinding. With small grinders and motors, the overhead part of the cost will he very small, especially where the farmer lives a considerable distance from a custom mill and w here roads are very bad. By using small mills and automatic feeding devices, the labor cost of feed grinding can he almost eliminated. on nt d one-hal- d Is one of the Imporhome vegetable garden. How to avoid a surplus of some vegetables and a scarcity of others, Is a problem which calls for a knowledge of the size, tastes and preferences of the family as well as of tant questions about the the productivity of the vegetables. An average recommendation of the amount of vegetables to be planted fur a family of five persons has been worked out In row-fee- t by the home demonstration specialists of the Ohio State university. For a family of this size, say the specialists, there should he pluuted 300 feet of potatoes, with the hills 10 to 12 Inches apart, and with ten pounds of seed used for each 100 feel of row. Of onions, 100 feet should be enough and a pint of sets should be used. Another 100 feet should go Into spinach, with the plants 3 to 4 Inches apart. An ounce of spinach seed will be enough for 100 row feet. Fifty row feet of cabbage, with the plants set 12 to 15 Inches apart, will supply the family. An equal footage of radishes, 1 Inch apart in the rows, will call for ouly one ounce of seed. Fifty row feet of Grand Rapids lettuce, with the plants only 4 to 0 Inches apart, may be obtained with of an ounce of lettuce seed. One hundred row feet of green beans will not be too many. They should he planted about 3 Inches apart In the rows, and half a pint of seed will be required. The average family will consume the tomatoes from 100 feet of early vines and 300 feet of late vines, the plauts being set 30 to 40 Inches apart. d ms exquisitely dainty springlike colorings and new mountings.

R. Danks, superintendent of the Winterthur farms, Winterthur, Del., at the New York State College of Agriculture at Ithaca. When as many as 15 or 20 per cent of the herd Is Infected with contagious abortion, It Is advisable to separate the positive reactors from the negative ones, and this separation should be complete. It is not enough to place the Infected animals In one end of the barn and the noninfected In the other end. Where only a relatively small proportion Is Infected a system whereby the positive reactors are removed from the herd at calving time has proved satisfactory. Blood testing appears to be the most efficient method of determining which animals are Infects, says Mr. Danks. but a knowledge of the limitations of this method Is needed to obtain best results. The typical veterinarian Is not yet sufficiently posted about the details of the plan to advise his clients, so great progress In eliminating abortion by the blood test method will not be made until the veterinarian, and throngh him the stockman, Is better Informed on the subject. In most herds where blood tests have been made and the principles of segregation and quarantine have been followed, the abortion rate has rapidly declined to approximately 5 per cent or less, although In a few herds abortion has not declined much below 10 per cent. The cause of abortions In animals free from the Bang bacillus Is not fully understood and should be made the subject of further Investigation. It Is generally considered that a variety of causes are responsible, such as Improperly developed reproductive organs, and accidents.

When Dr. Caldwell started to practice medicine, hack in 1876, the needs for a laxative were not as great as today. People lived normal lives, ate plain, wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh air. But even that early there were drastic physics and purges for the relief of constipation which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings. The prescription for constipation that he used early in his practice, and which he put in drug storea in 1892 under the name of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vegetable remedy, intended for women, children and elderly people, and they need just such a mild, safe bowel stimulant. This prescription has proven its worth and is now the largest selling liquid laxative. It has won the confidence of people who needed it to get relief from headaches, biliousness, flatulence, indigestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia, colds, fevers.
