li\ THE GARDEN WITH BURBANK
Reported by Elisabeth Irquhart and edited by Lather Bnrbank.
Lawns and Watering.
A lawn is to a garden what a set
ting is to a scene, or to be more
poetical, an accompaniment to a song,
enhancing it and bringing opt its
melody. Therefore the amateur gard
ener should leave space for his lawn
in his earliest plans and get it well
under way by the time the floral pro
cession starts.
Just here it might be well to offer
a suggestion about making a plan
for the garden, which is really as
essential as when building a house.
Every' one loves to draw house plans,
and an equal amount of pleasure may
be had out of garden plans.
Take one-half inch ruled paper,
each square standing for 10 feet, and
ihen draw your plan to scale. If the
house be already there, allow for that
space, then plan or change the roads
or paths.
These last should not be less than
four or five feet wide, and not too
many of them, cutting up the lawns
and flower beds; stepping stones may
replace paths with good effect.
After the plan of the garden is
made and the walks laid out, space
should be allowed for the lawn. The
ground must be graded and leveled,
then spaded, fertilized, raked and
lightly mulched with old manure or
straw to keep the watering from
packing the ground.
While sweet white clover makes a
satisfactory lawn, it requires more
water than grass, and on consulting
Mr. Burgank, we find that he consid
ers pure Kentucky blue grass better
than any lawn mixture, and that he
again urges care in buying seeds
from reputable seedsmen.
lie has experimented with a number
of substitutes for grass, which he has
sought to adapt for lands of little
tain. Among these is the Chilean
liopia, which, while responding to hy
bridization, and producing several
good varieties, is too tender for
northern climates; also the mesem
bryanthemum, a seacoast plant so ef
fectively used in the grounds of the
I’anama Pacific exposition; the vinca
major, a slender, running vine with
evergreen foliage, and the trailing
hypericum, also a native of the
mountains of Chili. Mr. Burbank said
in this connection;
"Several species of trailing liyperi
rum have been received from Russia,
Liberia and the central or northern
Europe, and after experiment these
have shown a variation in rapid
growth, compactness and promise of
developing into a lawn plant suitable
for all climates.
"But until these new plants have
been perfected the established lawn
grass, such as Kentucky blue grass,
must still be relied on or in some
eases the coarser growing perennial
rye grass.”
Watering a lawn is apparently a
simple process, but there is a science
in it for all that. Irrigation itself
noves tq a place in the front ranks
in the West where Summer rains are
absent and the water supply too often
a serious question.
• But even on the Atlantic coast, where
rain is both frequent and free, there
are seasons where artificial water
ing is necessary, and lawns in particu
lar must be looked after: moveover the
grass roots so invade the entire sur
face that the supply of water, however
generous, is soon used up.
Here is clearly a cdse for the best
methods of irrigation, and as Mr. Bur
banks says:
"Gardens and lawns are not properly
watered by small sprinklers, as they do
not water evenly. The water is dis
tributed in such away that some parts

And now we are wearing one dress
on top of another. At least the dress
makers have been making such con
traptions. Yvonne Davidson has
made quite a name for herself with
these double dresses. They are both
of chiffon in different shades, and
either one can be worn on top. Thus
two effects can be gained. One dress
of mauve goes with one of an odd
shade of red. Exquisite blendings of
color are obtained either way they
are worn. 'Another type of double
dress shows a frock of leaf green
with a frock of black alpaca worn
beneath. This can be slipped off as
easily as a coat.
Lucien Lelong has been showing
double dresses consisting of a light
silk frock beneath a dark cloth frock.
Perhaps the most charming exam
ple of the double dress is in the realm
of boudoir gowns. Sometimes both
under and over dress are made of
chiffon, while sometimes the under
frock is of satin, with trailing over
dress of chiffon.
The sketch shows a clever inter
pretation of this idea. The first frock
is of mauve chiffon, and over this is
a little red chiffon frock with red
and lavender fringe.

My Neighbor Says:
Prunes lend themselves to al
most any form of bread pud
ding. For this purpose it is
well to soak them until the
stones can be taken out easily
and then chop them.
If the oven is very hot, put a
piece of waxed paper under the
casserole cover. This will pre
vent the contents of the casse
role baking too quickly.
Peas are delicious if heated
over hot water, then drained
and seasoned with a generous
piece of butter, salt and pap
rika. Let stand for five min
utes. for the seasoning to
steam in, then stir in three or
four tablespoonfuls of thick
cream.
When cooking canned to
matoes always add a little
sugar. This removes some of
the acidity and give a better
flavor.
An economical housewife finds
very little for the garbage pail.
All ends of bread and broken
pieces should be saved for
stuffings, scraps of meat and
vegetables for croquettes.
When making toast it im
proves it both in taste and di
gestibility if the slices of bread
are laid in the open oven for a
little while before toasting
them. They will toast better
and more evenly for this pre
liminary treatment.
of the ground have too much water and
some too ilttle.
"There is a system of overhead irriga
tion known as the Skinner system,
which I have found to be the best
form of sprinkling. It consists of a
number of three-quarter-inch galvan
ized iron pipes with nipples placed
ajong the sides from 12 to 30 inches
apart. The pipes are connected with
the water supply by a garden hose,
and a space from 25 to 50 feet is cov
ered.
“When it is desired to install them
permanently, the pipes may be camou
flaged by shrubbery and vines. A rub
ber hose is less expensive to buy than
galvanized iron pipe, but the greater
cost is more than made up by the great
er durability of the pipe."
A certain impatience to reach the
subject of plants and flowers was al
layed by the very interesting comments
made by Mr. Burbank on the topic of
weeds and weeding.
“It will not be found enough to keep
your own garden weeded, it is necessary
to attack the weeds outside your own
boundary lines. Weeds, like gophers and
moles, invade neighboring territory and
have besides the gift of projecting
themselves in all directions; they keep
their vitality for a long time, some
times for years, and protect themselves
as do their betters, with spines and
thorns.
“They have besides the remarkable
faculty of Imitating the seeds of grains
and other plants which puts them in
the class of nature's favorites. Hence,
remembering all these precautions
against extermination which she has
taken, ft will be realized that only
prompt and constant warfare can save
the garden from their menace. Not only
do they crowd out more desirable
plants, but they robe the soil of moisture
and consume the food.”

Fried Toast.
It requires such a hot stove to
brown toast, as all housekeepers are
aware, so why not fry it? Put what
butter you would take to butter
three or four slices of bread into
your frying pan, let it get hot, and
then put your bread in. When it
browns turn it over and brown it on
the other side. It will not be crisp,
but it is delicious.

Our Children— By Angelo Patri
The Last One.
There is one story in the Bible that
I believe is especially fine for teach
ers. I mean the story of the ninety
and nine. These were all safe in the
fold, but out in the hills was one
stray, lost lamb, and the shepherd
locked his flock up safely and went
out searching for the last one and
carried him home triumphantly in
his bosom.
The thrill of gathering up that last
miserable, shivering lamb and bring
ing him home safely is the special
prize reserved for the teacher who is
entitled to spell his title with a cap
ital "T."
He’s always found at the end of
things. He’s the last one to come to
school; the last one to start for work;
the last one to hand in his papers,
and the last one on the achievement
score. Usually the teacher tries to
relieve the pressure of him by plac
ing him in the back seat and trying
not to see him. But while that is hu
man it is not divine, and the divinity
in the teacher is all that makes life
in the classroom bearable.
Let us go out after that last one
and bring him home safely. First,
watch for the thing he does.
There is always one, even though it
be but the lifting of his cap as you
pass. Take him aside and tell him
you like him for that. Get the idea
to him that he is liked. -.You who
mark him and grade him and disci
pline him, you like him.
That will turn his eyes, usually so
consistently turned from you, toward
you. and once his eyes are turned
your way you have found his abid
ing place you have found his abid
after him to his rescue. But. of

course, you won't let him know that
you are going to rescue him.
He doesn’t want to be rescued. He
just wants to be like the other lambs,
liked and shepherded and scolded
and butted along until he scampers
ahead all by himself. You must let
him /feel that running all through
your hunt.
When he isn't looking, get close to
his mother. Don't, if you value your
success in this still nijjMit hunt, tell
her he is a lost lamb. No, no.- Tell
her that you like him and that you
want to help her with him, so that
together you may carry him home
with the flock. You want him to be
one of the sturdy, stocky, stubborn
lads who range along ahead, cropping
the high green places and coaxing the
timid ones on.
She-will tell you many things about
him that you never guessed. Take
them just as she tells them, because
she knows. Then take one or two of
his papers and show % them to some
expert educator and ask what is to
be done to give this lad a lift toward
finding himself, and take his advice
to heart. But all the time keep lik
ing him, liking him. 'Y'ou will find his
hiding place and bring him home trium

And there's satisfaction in bring

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Aries.
The aspects of tomorrow are un
favorable and do not encourage any
effort of a fresh character or any
departure from ordinary routine or
customary duty. They do portend
that unless a great deal of self-re
straint Is exercised much disap
pointment and worry will be caused.
Care should therefore be taken to
establish poise and deliberate care
fully and to think well before doing
or sayJng things which otherwise
you may be very sorry for. The
signs today denote that although
commercial lines may not be produc
tive of bad results, It were well to
abstain, so far as possible, from any
mechanical or scientific field or en
terprise.
Toward evening the Indications are
that there will be a constant feeling
of irritation, and quiet reading or
harmless recreation is the best course
to adopt in order to prevent the con
sequences of any such untoward ten
dencies.
A child born tomorrow will enjoy
exceptionally normal health during the
period of infancy, and will be prac
tically free from those ailments to
which all children are subject. This
does not mean, however, that there
should be any less care or vigilance.
The very good health promised will
invite this child to take chances
which others woijld reject. This
course may, unless proper watching
is exercised, lead to unfortunate re
sults.
In disposition this child will be
happy-go-lucky, and will go its
sweet way rather regardless of the
feelings or wishes of others. Its
character will be more obstinate fhan
strong, and it will show a great deal
of determination to accomplish any
end it may have in view, notwith
standing the opposition it may en
counter. It will be necessary to in
culcate in this child’s mind the bene
fits of unselfishness and careful con
sideration for the wants and desires
of others with whom it is brought in
contact.
Is April 14 your birthday? If so, vour
disposition is a very sympathetic and
agreeable one, your perception is very
keen, your intutlon is more reliable than
the Judgment of others, and you have,
in addition, a clear, healthy mind. You
are by no means theoretical, nor are
you a dreamer, but look on every
thing from a practical point of view,
and after having made up your mind
as to the best course to pursue, do it
quickly and efficiently.
You have not benefited very much
by the studies that you have under
taken, as you are always disposed to
set aside that which yoU'deem per
siflage and rush to arrive at the ab
solute, practical truth.
You are very Inflexible in your
love, and constant and faithful. In
addition to this, you are very dem
onstrative, even to the point of ex
travagance in manifestation, but this
is not rebuffed by the recipients of
your affection. Hence, your happi
ness in the home circle is unalloyed.
Well known persons born on this
date are Junius S. Morgan, banker;

Smart Disorder.
Once during early Victorian days
charming negligence was the fashion.
The effect of too great precission in
dress was not admired. A stray curl,
a loosened girdle ribbon were quite
a la mode. The tendency extended
to the realm of men s attire. Young
men copied the studied negligence of
Lord Byron and went with neckties
just a little askew and waistcoats
partly unbuttoned. You have but to
search through old family portraits
of the 1830 period to see how- this
worked out.
It may possibly be that we are
coming back to a period of charming
and intentional negligence. At any
rate, it is said that in Paris some of
the smartest of hairdressers are ad
vocating an effect of slightly disor
dered curls as a rival for the per
fectly sleek, straight coiffure that
has remained in style for so long.
Whether you like it or not, you will
have to grant that it is younger
looking for most women.
Working class and middle class
women, testifying before the food
commission in London, said that it
was a common “trick” of dealers to
increase prices at the week end.

Shaping of a Nest.
For easing eyre here 1» a test -
The building of ■ robin's nest.
—Old Mother Nature.
Welcome and Mrs. Rcbir. had re
turned early to the Old Orchard and
were already at work on thedr nest
before many of their feathered friends
had arrived from the Sunny South,
where they had spent the Winter.
Peter Rabbit had been one of the first
to greet Welcome and Mrs. Robin, and
frequently In the early morning he
slipped over to the Old Orchard for a
gossipy chat with them.
So Peter was one of the first to
know when they started nest build
ing. Even before they had begun (
actual building he knew that they
were getting ready. He knew the
signs. They didn’t have much time
for gossip. There was a great deal
of looking about. Welcome Robin
was continually being called here and
there by Mrs. Robin to look at this
place and that. And when at last
they decided on a place to build Peter
was rather disgusted. It was in the
lowest crotch of one of the apple trees
and only a few feet above the ground.
PETER RABBIT HAD BEEN* ONE OF
THE FIRST TO GREET WELCOME
'TO MRS. ROBIN.
"Now, what was the use of all that
looking about?” muttered Peter to
himself. “They didn't have to hunt
to find that place. It was right under
their bills from the time they arrived.
And what a place for people with per
fectly good wings to build! Why.
Farmer Brown’s Boy can reach that
nest without getting off the ground.
It is a good thing that it is so near
Farmer Brown’s house, though if 1
were In Welcome Robin’s place- 1
would be worried to death for fear
Black Pussy the Cat would visit it in
the night. Well, it is no business of
mine where they build their nest.”
But if you had been around to sec
how often Peter found an excuse to
visit that part of the Old Orchard
you might have suspected that it
was some of his business. The truth
is, Peter was much interested in the
building of that nest. Always it
had seemed to Peter a very wonder
ful thing that birds with only bill
and claws to work with can build
such wonderful nests. Indeed, it is
wonderful. Thtre are no familiar
things more wonderful in all the
grea.t world.
From where Peter sat. close to the
old stone wall, he could look up and
watch the builders at work. At first
there wasn’t much to see. But
i gradually the walls of that nest be-
I gan to rise—walls of mud. Peter
never will forget how surprised he
was the first time he saw Mrs. Robin
getting mud. What she could want
of mud he couldn't think. It wasn't
until some time later that he learned
she used it for the inner wall of her
nest, covering it with straw and
coarse dead grass on the outside and
fine grass on the inside.

What interested Peter most now
was the shaping of that nest. He
would see Mrs. Robin add a. bit of
mud and then settle down in that
nest so that just her black head was
above the edge of it and iter breast
was down ir. against the inner wall
Then she would wprk around back
and forth, seeming to push with her
breast.
After he had watched her do this
many times it was all very clear to
Peter. "She is shaping her nest with
her breast,” thought he. "Os course.
That is how she gets it so nice and
round. She pushes that mud into the
-wall with her breast. Just see her
work: it is a wonder to me that she
manages to keep looking so trim and
