A Country Garden

3: Mn. Gordon Macmillan

Let us never forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labour of man;

Unstable is the future of I. coun- try which has lost its taste for Agriculture. If there is one lesson of history that is unmistakable. it is that national strength lies very near the soil. D. Webster.

Agriculture has been much in the news this past week. with delegates on the Island attending the Convention from all the pro- vinces and niiiny other coun- tries. One guest speaker stressed the fact that the six inches of top soil on this old world was the most important thing on it, and represeiitaiives from the United Nations at this Convention is evidence that this is true. Farm- ers and their families who till the poll are the most important P90- ple i.n the world. but few realize this. .

Peonies are in blooming shades of red. rose. Pink and white. some with good fragrance and lovely form. LeCygne is. the finest white. with the highest rating of any Peony. Festive Maximo. is the earllestwvhite with crimson markings. Mme. Jules Elie is a beautiful silvery pink, and as a cut flower is long-last- mg with Mtidamc Calot and Reine Hortense; these three Pink Peon- ies make a beautiful Peony garden.

Good red Peoiiies are Felix Crousse. Victor Hugo.'Berlioz. and L. Ecletante. These do not re- quire staking and they have strong. straight stems suitable for cutting.

Paeonia officinalis was cluced into England in 1548. It grows wild over a large area of Europe extending from Crete in- to Italy. Switzerland, and from France to Central spam, and it has enjoyed a long career as a curative herb. The genus. which is part of the Ranunculaceae fam- ily, is named after Paeon. a phy- sician of ancient Greece, who first used the plants medicinally.

intro-

. . .

Peonies are extremely hardy and live to a great age. but as they resent disturbance, the accomoda- tion must be well planned. Each vigorous leafy plant needs a square yard of ground for development. Plant them in autumn in a sunny. airy bed of moist loam enriched with leaf-mold and well-rotted manure. When plz!hti.ng, cover the crowns with barely two inches of soil; when they are too deep they do not flower, this is impor- rtant to remember.

Delphuiuni is coming into bloom and I have some new seedlings to look forward to. this is one of the delights of gardening, especially if you do grow something real fine from seed. Good seed must be bought, and Pacific Giants from the Coast in blues and white with contrasting eyes, and with flower stalks of six to nine feet and with florets four or five inches in dia-

meter make a wonderful contri- bution to the garden picture. Delphinum is one of the finest

garden perrennials; it is very hardy in our climate. and with good cultivation and care they are free from serious pests. A shel- tered spot is best because a heavy wind and rain-storm can play havoc with the long spikes.

Planted with New Dawn shell- pink roses on a fence they are very effective, also with white lilies and Newport Pink Sweet William, or with the pale yellow Day lilies blooming at the same time. They need rich soil and do not like to be crowded. They are suitable for cutting and the individual floret is much used in corsage work. Every garden should have some of the new Dclpliinum or Lark- spur, and they are easily grown from seed. sown now after the rains they will be up through the ground in a short time.

To-day I hope to sow some more seeds that have been neglected be- cause of pressure of other work and the more I write. and talk, and show my garden, the less

(That Body Of Yours

By Inna W. Barton, ILD. INFECTED TEETH CAN CAUSE

OTHER DISEASES BESIDES RHEUMATISM

While it is true that many spec- ialists in rheumatism and arthritis do not blame all such cases of in- fection-teeth. tonsils, gums. sin- uses-znost physicians in treating rheuimatic patients look first for infection, because it is the com- monest cause.

A patient consulted his physician for pain in his knee which grew worse at night. The physician said that joint pain, worse when at iest. was usually a sign of infection, and so suggested X-ray of teeth. The patient had two molar teeth removed and stormed back the physician stating. that his rheu- matism was more painful than be- fore. The physician assured him that this was a good sign and that the increased pain might be pres- ent for several days at least.

When infected teeth are removed there is bound to be some tearing of the tiny blood vessels and -through these torn vessels poisons I from the infected teeth get into the -blood vessels. This actually in- creases the infection of the entire blood. The general infection not only increases pain in the already infected joint but may start infec- tion in one or -more of the other joints. which is why this patient found himself in worse shape im- mediately after the infected teeth were removed.

A short time ago I wrote that the fact that infected teeth caused rheumatism was thought to have been discovered about thirty years ago. but about 100 years ago. Dr. Benjamin Rush. after whom Rush Medical College is named, reported a case of rheumatism of the hip. joint following the extraction of infected teeth.

Remember, rheu-matism is only one of the conditions or diseases caused by infected teeth and tort- sils. Some years ago it was found that inflammation of the nerves. the lining of heart and kidneys the eyes. were often caused by in- fected teeth. Anemia. thin blood. tiredness are often ailments often caused by infected teeth.

Don't wait to have any of the above conditions ooour. The X-ray tells the story. Get rid of your in- fected teeth before trouble starts.

Morning Smile Vicious Circle

Two hunters enjoying I meal. had rested their rifles against a tree some distance away. Suddenly a bear emerged from the woods and made towards them. One man quickly climbed the nearest tree; but the other. somewhat portly. started to run.,with the bear at his heels.

Just as it was about to catch him he suddenly disappeared into a hole in the ground. The bear overshot the hole and quick as B. flash. the man scrambled out and fled in the opposite direction. again

pursued by the bear. Leading the chase back towards the hole. be repeated the first performance.

and once more the bear overshot the hole.

After this had happened several times, his friend shouted down from the treetop.

"Hey. you dumb fool! Why the heck don't you stay in t-he hole?"

"Can't," gasped the portly one still running. "There's another beer in that hole!"

And nearing now the last of the precious June days. this was I cool xhowery one, the despair we those school-teachers and pupils who had at this date apart as that in which to celebrate the closing of the school-term, which so often takes in a trip to the sea-shore. Mothers too who must make the sandwiches and salads. the cakes and plea that con- tribute in goodly measure toward the succe.u of the event would be in a state of indecision over the weather. As Karolyn was, because this was to be, and as it turned out, was, the day of Jamie's school's pic- nic. His mother was in a state of concern. She "didn't know what to do about making any preparaiions" in the inclcmcricy of the weather. which as forecast was indeed icon- linuing cool with occasional show- ers'. in contrast with the lowered clouds and dampness we recalled the ideal daylof last June which had carried children and parents

and those interested to a pict- uresque spot at a dislan-t shore, even while James pointed out

"they'll have lots of hot days yet to picnic at a share!" u . .

We rcnieinbcrcd lhc happy-faccd children. the warm sands. tlic sil- very waters. the gulls dipping and 'soaring. and the pleasant wind of

sea. a favorite fragrance of ours. ilfemenibered too the lovely past- orals leading thither, the waves of shadows rippling along the fields. the lazily floating while clouds, the colorful herds on pasture. the rare loveliness of hill and glen. and farmstead and collage. ”lt is dis- appointing the children have had their boats and sand-pails and shovels packed for days, so Kar- olyn said "we observed to James." Yes. it is disappointing" he agreed as he rcgardcd brooding sky, moody mill-pond. and rain on the windows "but this will bring the hay and the grain and the roots. Ellcni”

And so the scene of Jamie's pic- r.ic was necessarily changed from an intended sunny sea-shore to the community hall, and vicinity where the races were run. Indoors then the supper was spread. the prizes presented. the teacher hm- ored with a parting gift. and iliei-e it was too that the treats of sweets. of fruit and ice cream disappeared in a twinkling down happy young throats. And as we listened in, since with granddaughter we were in attendance. it came to mind that even in the obvious happiness over the well-earned rewards from the school year for both teacher and taught and in the ligladncss

Public Scolding Sharnlng Child Before Others Can Iniure If: Character

DEAR MISS DIX: Won't you write something about nagging children at the table about their manners. It not only spoil: the child's meal. but often wrecks its character. When I wan a child. timid and nervous. my aunt nagged me about my table mlnnerl. with the relult that to thin day I cannot dine with ease or pleuu c with stronger: as I am overcome with self-comcioulness. The result of this childhood nag- ging had the opposite, but equally disastrous, effect on my brother. At home he is a man of refined and gentle habits. but before strangers he hide: his In- feriority complex by being uncouth and oltentatloul.

I never correct my children publicly. I wait un- til we are alone. Then we talk it out. In thin way "19? are taught C9"5""c”V91)' without the lesson maiming them for life. JOAN

ANSWER: I hope that many other mother: will heed the advice given by this wise woman. for she in lending her children lll1C0llICl0.nI- ly into lhe right road and making them like it instead of scourglng them down it with rods.

Of course the faultii of children have to be corrected. Their man- ners rind their habits have to be formed. They have to be taught the amenities of life. But there are different ways of doing this and perhaps the reason that children are so often impervious to their mothcrs' corrections is because they are given in the wrong way and at the wrong time. ' -

PARENTS CAN BE BRUTAL

I have often been struck by the unintentional brutality of parents in dealing with their children's mistake: and faults and have won- dered liow they. themselves. would like to be treated as they were Ireating some sensitive. helpless little creature. They seem to forget that the home is the child's world. that its Father and Mother repre- sent to it what we call society. and that their approval or disapproval is its shame or disgrace.

There is a lime and a place for all things and for the correcting of children it is not in public, but in private where the child's feel- ings are spared and the quiet talk of Mother or Father sinks in and becomes a light to guide the stumbling little feet.
