Sheep, of course, should be shorn only when fleeces are dry he says, and should be protected from moisture at all times while awaiting shipment. "A board floor, kept clean, is the best surface upon which to shear," Townsend added. "A dirty floor or littered ground will result in the wool's picking up foreign substances, thus decreasing its value. Straw, hay, and chaff are particularly objectionable. "Wool should be cut close, and the fleece removed unbroken. "Sheep should be tagged before the shearing operation, and tags should be sacked separately. "Tie each individual fleece with good paper twine, rolled with flesh side out; this will result in a much better and more attractive appearance of the fleece.

AND CULTURE SOIL From perennials, as from nearly all garden slants, the results in growth and bloom will vary directly with the richness of the soil and tne care taken in its preparation. The garden or border where they are to be planted should be spaded to a rfpnth of at least two feet and should be enriched with a liberal supply of d barnyard manure. It is well to add, also, a quantity of ground bone, tankage, or cottonseed meal. Perennials make a heavy growth of stalk, foliage and bloom each year and must be supplied with the wherewithal for such growth. If the spot where planting is to take place is definitely poor in drainage, it will be necessary to drain by arti ficial means, but as a rule it is suffi cient to nlace at the bottom of the Dreoared soil a laver of stones or broken pots to prevent water stand ing around the roots. SPRING VERSUS FALL Whether to transplant in spring or in fall depends upon local condi General Tsolakoglu, who signed tions. If winters are mild and where the Greek surrender at Salonika, the soil is light enough so that it and who is reported to have formed will not heave badly under frost, a new. government, rival to that of fall planting is advisable; if, on the contrary, winters are severe and King George II at Crete. the soil is subject to considerable heaving by reason of frost, no transplanting should be done until set tied weather in spring. In cold climates, a mulch is needed for pro tection from excessive cold and in such localities it is advisable to leave the dead tops and stalks where they lie, to hold mulches and snow, deferring the cleaning up of the planting until spring. This sort of treatment may leave your garden looking a bit frowsy during the winter, but it will result in better growth and bloom the succeeding year. WHERE TO PLANT Since perennials, to show their greatest beauty, need some sort of background, the usual plan is to plant them against low stone walls or fences, in the narrow space between a walk and the wall of the house, flanking the walls of outbuildtrelings, or against a lis used to screen some unsightly view. What could be lovelier than a row of flaming hollyhocks bul warked by a gray wall of stone or 1118 d cement? Or a pergola banked with phlox, with day lillies, or with the handsome Rudbeckis the "black-eyeSusan"? Or a narrow border between the service walk and the north side of the house, where wild perennials ferns, anemones, wild blue phlox, crow-focolumbine grow with all In the furtherance of efforts to violets and of the chosen the spot air preserve national unity, Governor themselves? having Or what could so gladCharles Edison of New Jersey, den the heart of the owner as to go shown above, has proclaimed May in the very earliest spring, to out, 18 as Good Will Day.

The writer has seen, in northern latitudes, gay narcissi and hyacinths blooming unabashed in the snow of a late spring storm. Then too, the perennials, spreading as they do, and growing more vigorous year by year, give a charming 1 air of permanence, an atmosphere of home, sweet home, to any place to which they have been welcomed. After perennials have become well established, new plants may be had by frequent rbot division and replanting, and operation which must be performed in the spring. vnn"RWr;n;iViiti,iiii.toiiiairi at Ft.

GARDENER For truck crops it is advisable to select a type of cover crop which will produce a rapid, luxuriant growth early in fall. It will thus serve as a winter mulch and can be turned under in February or March. HANDLING BABY TROUT Did you know that a baby trout must not be touched with dry hands? To do so is to rub the slime from his speckled sides and this will re sult in the death of the tiny fish. There was a time in America when there were no set prices. Each merchant charged what he thought "the traffic would bear." Advertising came to the rescue of the consumer. It led the way to the established prices you pay when you buy anything today. |
