The Garden Destroyers
potato bugs, cabbage, worms
and plant lice la assorted variety
are! garden pests .that" appear vs
surely as the season rolls around,
and. every gardener must be ready
to Jneet and' repel the Invading
hordes of insect destroyers. In
addition the cutworm works in
sidiously and destroys some vege
tables, although committing noth
ing like ths depredations of en
emies of the garden that work
out) In the open. 1 There are also
molds, blights and mildews to
add. to the toll.
- The. forehanded gardner has
his poison plant loaded and ready
to swat the invaders on sight.
In his listare arsenical j poi
sons, arsenate of lead, parts
green, eithet alone or in combina
tion: nicotine solution or tobacco
powder" for the lice, and bordeaux
mixture for the various fungus
pests. Xlso he has sprayers to
distribute them. Aside from these
poisons there are insecticides and
glu shots which are nonpoison
ou and effective.
Later in the season there are
various bliss and beetles that
flock to the encumber, squash

and melon vines In droves.
An Insecticide combining . all
three qualities is an ideal one, and
there are several proprietary poi

standard and kill the bugs pres

ing. ' :'; ; . ; ; - . f ;.'
. The insect pests are two in var
iety, those that eat the foliage and
stems and blossoms and those that
suck the Juiced of the plant. The
former includes the potato bug
and cabbage f worm. ; vn'e latter
are confined largely to plant lice.
For the' eaters, arsenical j poisons
are the proper treatment.. They
will also minimise grasshoppers
when they get troublesome in mid
summer. . " .!-'!- ..
Plant lice, which now appear in
all shades , from pale green " to
black, with the exception of blue
ones and they may appear yield
to a spray of nicotine or tobacco.
The poison should be applied sd
that the, entire surface . j of the
plant is wet. The plant , louse
must be hit by the spray to be
killed. '- The leaf eaters need only
to have the poison on the leaves
where thy can at it.

v Ornamental Back Yards
ft ,
Th simplest design for o ma men
kl back-yard planting on a small
place consists' of a belt of shrub
bery about; the boundaries xrith
perennials bulbs and annuals in
limit of them. This is the first
step and one that may be easily
accomplished in one season if the
ask of laying out a complete gar
den seems too heavy. ,
) For the first season the flowers
should consist, of annuals to a
great extent, with the perennials
growing from seed to be set in
place late in the season to com
itto bloom next year. Annuals
r4ay be set among the newer
planted shrubs'the first year, for
i properly spaced to give a chance
tp develop properly, there will be
spaces between the bushes which
will look very wide and bare for
a season- or two. These may be
filledi.with sbailow-rootins annu
als which will in no way interfere
ith ? the , deeper-rooting shrubbery.-
. - v ' - ;
It is an easy matter, to' select
annuals of the color or colors you
prefer for this : plinting. There
is also a great variety in height
I
to arrange a pleasing floral pat
tern, Tall-growing annuals to
set toward the back of the border,
but not "close enough to smother
the young bushes, are annual sun
flowers, cosmos, spider plant or
cleome, the flowering tobaccos,
nicotiana, the tall African mari
golds colossal zinnias, with possi
bly a plant or two of castor beans
to tower above the shrubbery and
give accent points to the planting-
. : -1 ' . !
Toward the front of the border,
lower-growing annuals such as as
ters, stocks, salvias, i petunias,
dwarf marigolds dwarf zinnias,
pinks, nasturtiums and scores of
others may be sown. A garden
of the various ' annual poppies
alone will make a gorgeous dis
play. ;
.These annuals are best planted
in colonies of a single j color for
pleasing effects. The gardener may
exercise his ingenuity and artistic
eye In arranging his color plans.
With the outer border completed,
it Will be a much easier; matter to
develop a. scheme of beds within
the enclosure surrounded by the
shrubs. .
Studying the Soil
As we progress in scientific
knowledge, we are learning a
great deal about the soil. A gar
dener nowadays makes it his bus
iness to study his soil and find Its
iature and what it needs' before
he begins ' making garden. He
ijests it to see whether it is acid
or neutral. This is easily done by
iettUifi a few pieces of blue lit

which-has; been treate'd for some
time with nitrate or commercial
fertilizers is likely to turn acid
and these fertilizers should be al
ternated . with a lime dressing In
the fall to neutralize the acidity.
If the soil is loam, a mixture of
clay and sand, it is likely to nee.d
the addition of humus in the form
of manure or decaying leaves and
grass clippings to add to its tex
ture. ; If . it Is Inclined to" clay,
sand or finely pulverized lime

en it-as well as heavy dressings
of manure or vegetable matter to
furnish the humus neces3ary.
j Very sandy soil needs manure
or leaves and lawn clippings and
similar vegetable matter to deiay

valuable attributes of humus be

CHAPTER 414
WHY A STRANGE LOOK CAME
INTO CLAIRE FOSTER'S
- SURPRISED EYES
Claire Foster's fears and my
vague uneasiness concerning the
possibility of Dr. Pettit's catching
up with, us by some miracle,
proved to be without any fonnda
tldn. Our journey cityward was
comfortably . monotonous, and
when we had been whisked
through the tubes, Dicky flagged
a roomy taxi and we were driven
rapidly down-the comparatively
deserted thoroughfare which low
er Fifth avenue becomes when
business hours are over. :
We were a singularly silent
trio. Dicky and I had addressed
no word to each other save those
absolutely .necessary since his
taunting speech concerning Dr.
Pettlfg former admiration of me,
and my Icy retort. Whether Claire
took her cue from v us. or . was
simply too depressed for conversa
tion, could not tell, bnt she;
volunteered no remarks at , all,
simply answered briefly anl conr
teously whenever either Dicky or
I addressed her.
.... . -J.-,..
"There You Co"
Tlie sitnation was decidedly
Rtrained, and with the girl's com
fort and ( pealce ot .mihd In view,
I decided to swalloy my pride as
far as outward appearances went,
and tare my refrigerator-like at
titude toward Dicky for use when
there should be no outside P re
cent. . l ' -'
"Where is this wonderful apart
ment; Dicky?" . I astted in as dul
cet tones as if we were still on
our ' honeymoon, and turned to
Claire in apparently heedless
fashion before he could answer,
to say: ii- : ' ;.f ':.',',
"You know, I was so afraid we
would have to go to a hotel! I
hate them, don't you? But this
husband of mine, after letting me
stew and fret about it f Or an
hoar of two, suddenly remember
ed that he had the key. to a dear
little apartmenfin his pocket. It
belongs to a friend of his who
has gone with his wife to Virginia
for a month's vacation, and . has
urged Dicky to occupy the apart
ment while they are gone. Isn't
that luck?"
"There yon -go as usual," Dicky
growled,; "stretching things all
out of shape. I didn't say it was
a "wonderful apartment or a
'dear little one' " his ; voice ex
pressed the utmost contempt for
the feminine adjectives. "In fact
it's a very modest affair, although
old Bob and his wife have some
nifty antiques. ; I know what you
will say when you see it. You'll
probably clasp your- hands and
emit a squeak of 'Ob, isn't it
quaint!"
Madge Is Pleased. '
Dicky's face held the lines of
Ill-temper, and his voice had the
snarling notes which are familiar
to many wives. He . was hungry
and nntil he was fed, bruin of
the aching poll would be mild in
comparison. " : r
Claire and I were seated at the
rear of the car, Dicky' facing us,
but : our seat was so roomy that
I had curled up comfortably in
the corner of it, and had a good
view of the girl's face. And over
it, at Dicky's . pettish outburst,
there spread : so ' amazed a look
that despite my Irritation at Dicky
I was compelled to use all may
will power to keep from laughing
outright.
It was plain that she never had
seen Dicky in a growling role be
fore. ,,I know of no one who can
be so Toyally courteous, so absolu
tely fascinating as can my hus
band when he is on his best be
havior,; and, 'like most men, he
is not on his worst behavior when
a pretty girl is in the offing. And
Claire Foster; though by no means
the sheltered sentimental damsel
who believes all men to be strong,
chivalrous and omnipotent, ' was
patently amazed and a bit shocked
by his sudden outburst.
A sillier girl would have twist
ed the incident into food for her
own vanity, : would have figured
that it was something lacking in
me which made Dicky discour
teous. She would have said to
herself that she would know how
to' -manage him, and that never
would he be guilty of similar dis
courtesy were she in my place,

One of the latest bit of machin

take care of a large amount of
laundry. The latest idea in the

The firm has four motor driven
