ABOUT BULB PLANTING

TABLOID As drainage is the greatest ene- my of bulbs the location of the fall planting should be carefully‘. chosen. Contrary to the ideas of some gardeners, cold weather does little injury to them, but water standing in the ground where they we planted with rot them.

The old way of building up tulip beds higher than the surrounding surface to insure good drainage is still a. good practice, especially if there i; any doubt about pools of water forming or a generally damp condition. Lily bulbs, which are particularly likely to rot in too wet a location, are often planted each on a cushion of sand to assist drainage.

There are two methods practiced in placing bulbs. When beds are devoted solely to bulbs, the Dutch method is convenient. In this, the earth is thrown of the bed to the depth required and the bulbs are set on the bottom of the excava- tion in the order desired. This method is well adapted to formal beds, where a pattern is to be worked out in the flowers. After the bulbs are placed according to the design, the earth is thrown over them.

A method more widely practiced in this country is to use a dibber. or pointed tool, which makes a hole in the soft earth of the bed or border. Where the bulbs are to be planted among perennials or mar shrubs, the dihber method is advised, as it prevents disturbances of the roots of companion plants- A point to watch in dibber plant- ing is that the bulb rests on soil in the bottom of the hole and ls not hung, that is, left with an air ‘hole beneath it caused by the point of the dibber. Drop a little fine soil into the hole to prevent this.

It is always important in plant- ing seeds bulbs, or plants to bring whatever is planted into close and firm contact with the soil. Only in this way can normal development proceed. Air holes next to roots or bulbs always cause trouble. Bulbs are very susceptible to cer- tain poisons which are contained in manures and manure should never be used in planting them except by an expert. While tulips are grown in Holland on a soil of send which has been built up by manurlng for centuries, it is said that manure is never used until it has been buried for a year deep under ,, ’. A good commercial , rpient food, worked info the ground s, few days before planting bulbs is easiest and best for amateur gardeners.

Cod-liver oil stains are quite successfully overcome by the use of spirits of turpentine. Wet the stained part; with the turpentine, let stand for ten or fifteen minutes, then wash with a good laundry éoap and warm water. This has been successful, even when the slain was quite yellow from using water that was too hot. This will remove tar or paint without in- jury to the most delicate shades-

SPOONB 0F ANCIENT ORIGIN’ HALL MARKDINGB SINCE 1800

R. ’ of the origin of the spoon as used for table and kitchen service by the human family are vague and almost impossible to dis- cover. ‘rhat the spoon is of very antiquity may be provcn by records in the Bdble, when the Lord com- manded Moses to make golden spoons for the ‘Iiabernecle. Egyptian pottery moons and spoons of wood, slate, ivory and bone of Egptain origin may be seen in tbs museums, as well as qsoons of bronze and precious metals fashioned by the Greeks and the Romans. Thus it is the spoon creates interest for- study not only as an article of use, but also as a source of historical in- formation.

But when the family is in comfortable circumstances and the ygung- sters are Just getting a start and are earning a pittance at best, it has always seemed to me a hard thing for the parents to demand boar-d o1 them. After all, they are so young and the mad is so hard, why not make it a little easier for them if you can? i

In your case, instead of chaming the boy board, why not let him use the money to pay for his laundry, lunches and the little expenses that you That will give him a sense of responsibility and independence and make him feel that he is standing (m m; own feet, The“; 1,5 50mg- thlng about knowing that you are paying your own way, and are not be- holden to any one, that does more to stiflen the spine and develop char- acter than any other one thing in the world, ,

Personally, I think that a. mother makes no greater mistake than when she makes her children turn over their entire earnings to her. doubtless true that she knows how to spend ii; wiser than they do, and that she does spend most of it on their clothes and upkeep and board.

But her taking the children's money reduces them to the level of slaves. They never have the plesure of handling the money they h“; They never have the thrill that tomes of having the money they have earned in their pockets. They never have that glor- ious sense of financial independence.

But she admired Inspector Narra- cott’s thoroughness in checking every detail having to do with any- one, however remote their connec- tion with the crime.

"I've got to see him." said Emily fr; herself." I'll go straight there as soon as I get back to Slttafo ."

Then she had thanked Mrs. Evans, gone on to Mr. Kirkwoods and obtained the key and was now standing in the hall of Hazelmoo and wondering how and what, she had expected to feel there.

She mounted the stairs slowly and went info the first room at the top of the stairs. This was quite clearly Captain Al velyans bed.- room. It had, as Mr. Kirkwood had said, been emptied of el ef- fects. Blankets were foided in a neat pile, the drawers were empty.

Emily bent down, boots in hand.

In e minute or two she stood up- right, flushed, incredulous.

"So that was it," said Emily. “So that was it."

She sank into a chair. There was still much that she did not under- stand.

After some minutes she rose to her feet. She spoke aloud.

"I know who killed Captain Trev- clyan." she said. "But I don't know why. I still can't think why. But I mustn't lose time."

She hurried out of I-‘lazelmoor. To find a car to drive her to Sittaford was the work of a few minutes. She ordered it to take her to Mr. Duke's u" ‘cm. Here she paid the man and then walked up the path as the car drove away.

She lifted the knocker and gave a loud rat-tat. -

After a moment or two's interval the door was opened by a big burly man with a. rather impasslve face.
