A. Horne & 0o.

Bﬂmm, mo. The "Destructive 1M1‘- eign Animals Bill" which has pas‘- scd through the House of Lords. provides a penalty of $100 for turn- ing muskrats loose, or allowln! them to escape, and if the offence is in respect o! more than four ani- mals, then the penalty is $35 more for each extra animal. The "Fen Country" of Erlgland is the vulnerable point, for there the riv- er; grid waterways are banked of! from the rich blank soil, which produces the finest crops.

1n Scotland the muskrat has be- come naturalized over a wide ar- ea, The young trapper who first introduced the musquash-as he calls it-into that country. had rented waters at Feddal near Bra- co. and wired them in. In all countries there are iu disPOSBd people and Scotland is not ex- empt; some miscreants , tore up part oi’ the wire and allowed 80MB of the stock to escape. Now the animals are spread over a wide area in Perthshire. Fife, Dumfries and Kinoardinshire.

Them is a. notion (in Scotland) that the muskrats have added corn (that is oats) and ﬁsh to their menu. This is in line with the ob- servation that animals do change their food habits to some extent in new environments. However I have always been under the im- pression that the muskrat here. will vary his diet on oats if he can got them-

FEED THE BIRDS CONTEST

I molly envy the prospective winners of the latest books donat- ed by Mr. Robie W- Tufts. The Editor kindly forwarded me a copy to look over, and I find it is the much sought “Birds of Eastern Canada," by Dr. Taverner. This book is out of print, and is the more valuable on that account; and it is not likely to be reprinted, B8 the author is bringing out ‘"1118 Birds of Canada" instead. This will include the birds of both East rind West and will be more com- prehensive but not so handy for our folk as the "Birds of Eastern

Canada." These ﬁne prizes, (of which there are three) give complete descriptions of all our

birds and colored plates of 100 species. Personally I'd rather have this book than a money prize!

Many people have become dis- couraged in trying to grow Sweet Peas but this beautiful flower should never be given up rr-d will not lu- by new beginners if the following few simple rules are followed.

Just as soon as one can work in the garden without muddying ones boots the garden becomes fit to plant. One can determine this by taking handful bf earth .nd squeez- ing it lightly. If ii: crumbles it is safe to plant, but if it compacts to a. light ball. leave it alone for a few days. The best plan is to dig a trench about two feet deep and iii the bottom put a layer of about one foot of well rotted manure or vege- table mold, such as rotten leaves, pack this down and puta llyer of six inches of good garden soil. Plant ihe Sweet Pea seed about two inches deep and about two inches apart in this and gradually, as the peas grow, fill in soil around the peas ai- ways showing them a hriif inch above the earth, than put n stake (lei-gei- than ulbmum Handle) at eioh end of trench firmly .n ground lnd Itratch hen win w rile/stares for the vine: tn climb on.

of the lawn. or by planting out an-

in beds. Annutils may be more pro-

than in the wider ones, as peren- nials and shrubs are generally us- ed in the latter.

The position of the beds imd borders will be the first considera- tion. They should be open and sunny ones and so locntcd that

of time so they should not be in a. depression from which water can- not drnin. . A freedom from the roots of trees and shrubs is also desirable ‘for annuals will not grow well where these mnt throughout the border.

The soil most satisfactory for the growth of annuals is a porous sandy loam, one which can easily

be worked. Upon the manner in which the soil is prepared to re- ceive the seeds, will largely de-

pend success or failure. It is better to use a fork when preparng the border in Spring than the spade. as with the fork the soil may be broken much more finely, a. condi- tion which is necessary so that the fine roots of the annuals may readily penetrate and the growth of the plants be not checked.

I! the soil has a reasonable real- due of humus (decaying organic matter) from last year's applica- tionjt will not be necessary to ap- ply rind manure to the border 1n Spring. If, however, the soil does not contain enough, it will be ne- cessary to apply short well rotted manure and to fork ‘it in. Having forked the border the next step is to rake the surface very finely with ll. steel rake [and to remove stones or anything likely to ob- struck the growth of the plants. The finer the surface soil down to o. depth oi’ three or four inches, the better wiliy~be the growth of the annuals and the more beauti- ful the border.

The tuller annuals should- be sown at the back of the border, Those which are half tall or inter- mediate in height, in the middle and the dwarf kinds be sown along the front. Annuals, say. which are two feet in height may be consid- ered tsll, from 15 inches to two feet intermediate, and from_12 in- ches downward, dwarf.

,If it is your desire to make a bed of annuals in your lawn and not a border at the side, the procedure will be different. as the annuals should properly be about the same height throughout the bed, and might even be sown with an indi- vidual variety. However, it is not proper to out up your small lawn areas. and it will pay you to make a border rather than a bed.

The seeds in the patches should be sown evenly and thinly and should be covered very lightly with finely screened fertile soil by means of the rake or preferably by screening the soil over them. One- eighth to one-quarter inch will be sufficiently deep to cover the seeds except the larger ones such as Sweet Peas. which may be cover- ed about one inch deep. ,

Generally in latitude 44 degrees, the locality of Toronto, the time to sow annuals is during the last two weeks of Mny, and at Mont- real the lilst week of May and first one of Julie. On the west coast about six weeks earlier. If the soil is at all dry it should be careful- ly watered as soon as the seeds are sown, by means of a can with n fine sprinkler. The surface of the soil should never be so flooded as to disturb the seeds.

After germination. when the seedlings are from two to three in- ches high, they should be thinned out distances apart. according to their heights zit maturity the m- ler ones being spaced a greater distance apart than the dwarf ones. In the rear, about 12 to 15 inches apart, middle ground 9 w 12 and front.-sny. 4 to 9 inches npiirt. To this, of course, there are exceptions. If’ plants ore set out, this will ‘also be the approximate spacing» ‘
