THE WEEK'S GARDENING . border . where , and succeeds best on a light , porone soil , with water not far beneath the surface . which should be performed in the spring , or It is easily propagated by means of division , the plants may be raised from seed . " " Perennial phloxes are not very particular as to the position in which they are grown , and the early - flowering section especially Vines growing out of doors produce a great will thrive admirably in a somewhat shady quantity of wood every year . To get the best Nor are their other requiremente result it must be confined , to main rode difficult to fulfil . Being shallow - rooting sub - fastened to the walle at suitable distances jects , they are benefited by a good mulch of apart and to the short laterale that bear the well - decayed manure , with liberal supplies of fruit . At this season the laterals must be water during fine , dry weather . When once eut back to one or two prominent buds near established , they may remain undisturbed for the main rods . When these lengthen into & few years , and the ground should , there- shoota in summer , they should be stopped fore , be well prepared beforehand . above the second or third bud beyond the bunch of flowers . All other secondary laterals should be stopped above the first leaf they make . If this is regularly attended to , the energy of the plant is utilised in fruit pro- If it is thoroughly dug over to a depth of at least 2ft . , and a good quantity of manure , such as that from an old hot - bed , worked in , little else will be needed , save the annual mulching . As regards the propagation of plants , germination from seed is at all times Blow , and it is generally advisable , where only a few plants are wanted , either to divide up those already in the ground , or to take cuttings - the latter for choice . They will strike readily in the spring , in a cool frame , which should not be placed in the sun . The best time to plant these phloxes is in the early autumn , but they may be got in whenever the weather is favourable , up to April . The coreopsis is showy and perfectly hardy , and its treatment is simple . There are both annual and perennial varieties , each of which may be sown during the present month in a cold frame , and planted out early in May . Seed may also be sown , where they are to flower , from April onward ; or in the autumn to produce extra blooms . The roots of the perennial varieties may be divided either in spring or autumn , but , as a rule , they are better raised from seed . " a The culture of the sunflower is very simple , though it prefers a deeply - dug and well- manured loam . To do well it must have ample water during hot weather , and its appearance is improved if tied neatly to a stake . Seed of the annual varieties may be eown in frame in March , pricked out into pots when large enough to handle , and planted out in May ; or they may be sown directly where they are to flower , any time from the end of March . When up , they must be thinned out to two or three feet apart , according to the style of growth . The seed of the perennial kinds may also be sown under glass during the spring or early summer . Seeds of shrubby calceolarias can now be Bown in a shallow box filled with a compost of equal parts loam , leaf - mould , and sand . Press the surface evenly ; sow the seeds thinly ; cover with a sprinkle of fine mould , and place in a temperature of 55deg . Shade from sun , and avoid over - watering . Seedling . plants will Blower this summer . All The must important point in the keeping of plants in rooms in good health is to maintain an open outlet for superfluous water in the bottom of the vessel containing the soil . young plants that it may be desirable to in- eresse in size may be potted in larger pots . A pot one size larger than that occupied by the plant to be potted is big enough in most cases , as it will supply the needs of most plants for a season under the usual conditions of culture for room plants . " Even though some plants may not stand in need of being repotted , they may be benefited by being top - dressed with fresh soil . In such cases prick as much of the old soil out of the pot with a sharp - pointed stick or skewer , without , of course , turning the plant out of the pot , and fill up the space with fresh soil . See that every plant that is to be repotted or top - dressed is well soaked with water at the roots the day before it is to be operated upon , and water it moderately immediately potting or top - dressing is done , The hardier varieties of perpetual flowering carnations , which may now be purchased in pots at a reasonable price , are excellent bor- der plants , as they keep on flowering until autumn , whilst pinks have a short although very prolific time . The soil in which they are to be planted should be a good open loam , free from wireworm , and the end of April is quite soon enough for planting them out . A mixed bed is far more striking than a bed of one colour . The plants should be set a foot apart , and if , after planting , the soil can be covered with an inch layer of cocoanut fibre or fine leaf mould , so much the better . stems should be supported with neat stakes as they form up for flowering . The Protection is necessary for carnation plants growing in the open garden against the depredations of sparrows . These birds have the mischievous habit of nipping off the ends of the leaves and also the point of the main growth of carnations and pinks at this time of year . Surround each plant with a few sticks a foot high or so , and wind black thread or cotton around and over them . When the sparrow attempts to reach the plants he becomes scared by the unseen cotton . duction . THE WEEK'S WORK . Thin out seedlings of antirrhinums , pentstemons , phloxes , and hollyhocks .

" Soeing that much attention has been given to the design of motor - tractors on the Continent and elsewhere , with the stimulus of prize trials we need not suppose that British AGRICULTURAL TRACTORS AND PLOUGHS . manufacturers have been idle . The drawbacks to the steam - tractor com- pared with the oil - driven engine are obvious . Besides consuming coal a much more bulky fuel than oila ateam - tractor requires a very great quantity of water , which may easily , and often does , prove a serious item , aa , if the water is only obtainable from some considerable distance , work may be delayed , while the expense of carting has to be reckoned with . The weight of the steam - trac- tor is also an important consideration , espe- cially on heavy land . Hitherto its much greater cheapness of working has been its recommendation , and it will be interesting to see whether properly - conducted trials prove that the oil - tractor can now hold its own even in this respect ..

Up to the end of December last , the Tuber- culosis Order of 1913 had been in operation in Great Britain for eight months , and informa- tion on the working of the Order during this period has been collected from the counties concerned by the Tuberculosis ( Animals ) Com- mittee . At a recent meeting of this body it was stated that one point which had been brought out very clearly was that an excessive charge had fallen upon county councils in ad- ministering the Order . Another feature was the very low valuation of the animals slaugh- tered under the Order ; and the amount paid in compensation was certainly a great deal less than had been anticipated by the Board . The following amendments to the Order were suggested : 10/6 THIS INTERESTS YOU ! 140 page List for stamps . MID : AND GUN CO ..
