Regular use of the hoe or cultivator will keep down weeds and make a dust mulch to hold In the moisture. A good gardener will try to got this done at least onco a week during tho next few woeks, but alas, how many of us wait until wo let things dry out and havo an extra big crop of weeds to get rid of. If one Is only a part time gardener, as many a house wlfo la, the best plan I havo found Is to make up one's mind to put in a little time In the gurden or yard every doy. An hour or even a half hour early in the morning or some time spent In tho evenings when It Is cool will accomplish far more in a yard or gardon than a whole day or two in every two weeks or whenever things get to such a stage that we realize something must bo done or else. By this method one can man ago to get over a good sized patch on an average of once a week. : Nitrate of soda is one of the quickest acting fertilizers we have, and a little used now will help along a crop that Is slowing up because wc have had so much cool weather. Unless one has a regular npparatus for applying theso things it is a little awk ward. Ono party I know works it this way. As the nitrate Is apt to bo lumpy and difficult to apply evenly by hand, dissolve it in hot waters The same amount of water as nitrate. Then thoroughly mix this solution with eight times its volume in fine sand or dust or coal ashes If you havo them. This dilutes tho nltruto enough 'so it can be spread evenly and the dust is dampened enough by the solu tion so it will not scatter too much, It may then be used as a top dressing for lawns, around shrubs and flowers i n small quantities without danger of get ting too much on one spot.

He also is the service man In Klamath Falls for one of tho oldest flour milling com panies In tho west, that of the Hodge and Brewster Milling company. Tho big red brick structure will be much larger than that of the present store and the loca tion will be suitable for the rural families as well as city people. there will not be the danger of burning. These two are good combined for a top dressing for lawns in a proportion of four pounds of nitrate to three pounds of sulphate to a thousand feet of lawn. This should be done in tho spring however as the soil is then still too cool for the nitrate forming bacteria to be active. - Annuals should be thinned now sufficiently to keep them from growing spindly. Foxglove, delphinium, hollyhock and other tall reasonably early ' blooming plants will bloom later again In the season if they are cut back almost to the ground and al lowed to grow up new flower stocks again as soon as the first blooms are gone.
