The value of the viols for edging , bedding , and clumps in the ornamental garden is everywhere recognised , but there is one spot where their value seems to be overlooked- the rock garden , or , rather , the rock - edged border , for such forms as cornuts are more suited in the company of true alpines . Where , however , there is raised border , rock- fronted , where such things as aubrietias ,. alyssums , and arabises are largely used , these hybrid violas are splendid , for they flower long after the other plants have ceased , and , indeed , with little timely attention , are gorgeous until late autumn . the It is necessary to plant them so that the Ross , Thursday . - There was a good supply of dressed poultry and trade was fairly brisk . roots can penetrate deeply right back into the Dressed chicken sold well from 5s . 6d . to border ; it does not matter how close 6s . 6d . per couple ; live fowls from 88. to stones come to the crown , provided the roote 4s . 6d . per couple .

Sow for preference on a shady border , in drille drawn 6in . apart , and cover very lightly . The seedlings are pricked out in a similar position , and transferred to the flower- ing quarters in October . Do not allow them to suffer for the want of water during the summer . Primroses may be treated in the same way . Many early flowering plants will now re quire staking , and this work should be done early , for if the plants are allowed to assume a straggling habit it is a difficult matter to make them look quite natural . Before the stakes are placed in position it is necessary to thin the shoots of such plants as asters ; and , in fact , most herbaceous plants will benefit by a careful thinning of the shoots before the 35 - plante are tied up . Pyrethrums will require early attention , or the stems may soon become broken down by heavy rain . • . Sow the seeds in Ross , Thursday , -At Ross Market , Messrs .

PROTECTING HONEST CHEESE - MAKERS . Since it was proved years ago that cheese- making need not be confined to particular localities a great change has come over the industry , and now the position is that hun- dreds of times more Cheddar cheese is made out of the Cheddar valley than in it , and a standard of quality in this as in other pro- duce tends to disappear . Hence the public is frequently deceived by inferior cheese , which thus sometimes competes on equal terms with the best qualities . certain An official inquiry has recently been made en the question whether the application to cheese of descriptions , including Cheddar , Cheshire , Cotherstone , Derbyshire , Lancashire , Leicestershire , Stilton , and Wens- leydale , implies that the cheese is made from the whole milk . The opinions of a number of cheese - makers , dealers , and dairy experts were ascertained , and the evidence obtained appeared to the Board of Agriculture to jus tify the conclusion that cheese described as Stilton and Wensleydale should invariably whole be made milk , or milk with oream added , and that Cheddar , Cheshire , and Cotherstone , Derbyshire , Lancashire , Leicestershire cheeses should be made from whole milk , except in cases which it is alleged may arise towards the end of the season in which the milk is too rich and part of the cream is removed in order that the cheese may have the proper consistency .
