FRANK STRICKLAND, March, 17, 1911. Ilillsgrove, Ta. IN PEACE THERE IS GLORY. Fifty years liave passed into his t >ry since the Civil War began and the causes leading thereto are now merely reminiscences in the minds of those who fought and matters of chronology to the younger genera tion. While the conflict raged, in spite of strong passions and preju dices, the men who fought on either side unhesitatingly recognized the bravery of the men against whom they fought. The following years of peace have not changed that feeling, but they nave seen the passion and prejudice so die down that at the present time in is uni versally acknowledged that the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the grey were alike animated by the conscientious sense of what they conceived to be their duty. It is men of this stamp that make a nation strong and secure. They saw no glory in conflict; in the raising of arms against their fellow-men, but they do glory in the peaceful union of northern and southern brotherhood which result ed from the inevitable rebellion. 'They were not born to soldier life. Their country's summons called them from the plow, the forge, the bench, the loom, the mine, the store, the office, the col lege and the sanctuary. They did not tight for greed of gold, to find adventure nor to win renown. They loved the peace of quiet ways and yet they broke the clasp of clinging arms, turned from the glance of tender eyes, left good-bye kisses on tiny lips to look death in the face on desperaee fields.' But all this has come and gone. The heroes of fifty years ago are aged or sleeping in the glory of the eternal peace. Conditions change with the routine of time. Today we are a nation of citizens, not of soldiers, and in keeping Decoration Day we do not glorify war or seek to inflame the evil passions of men. As we think of the thousands of heroes, human sacrifices to the cause of united peace; as we think of the aged and enfeebled veterans who survive and as we think of the I tattered ensigns, pierced by shot and shell on many a field of battle, we would glorify peace, not war, and union, not discord. And we can best show our respect for both dead and living heroes of the great strife, by burying all prejudices and animosities and by promoting good will and unity throughout the land.

GARDEN By BYRON WILLIAMS EVERY woman should have a (lower garden, not alone for the blossoms It yields nor for the added beauty to the land scape, but because working in the soil, in the sunlight, in God's out of doors, is tonic to the nerves and peace to tho worried mind. But every woman does not know how properly to prepare a flower gar den. It is true that one may grow some flowers merely by tickling the ground with a crooked stick, strewing tho seeds broadcast and letting Naturo do her best. This is not satisfactory; this is merely n makeshift for a posy bed. Growing flowers, like everything else worth doing, is worth doing well. If you will follow a few simple In structions you can become n real flow er enthusiast, for the bed prepared will give big results and afford ample bouquets. In tho beginning remember that most flower seeds are tiny particles. You would not plant a bean under a clod of dirt as large as your head and expect tho bean to do much. Neither Rhould you plant flower seeds in coarse, cloddy ground for the same reason. To begin at tho beginning, spado Into your soil a good fertilizer, being „ careful to turn over the ground and mix it well with tho fertilizer. If you havo some wood ashes strew them on the surface before starting to spade. I, Having spaded the bed, rake off nil the stones, pulverize all tho clods, pack down with a board and then re rako. -1 face, that the tiny seeds may find a ■ ready root bed. Having prepared the bed, do not scatter your seeds broad , cast lest when the tiny shoots appear you cannot tell them from weeds. X Lay a board 011 the bed, stand on | tho board, make a very shallow drill, say a half inch deep, and drop your seeds at regular distances. When the >' drill is filled move the board over It - and start another drill. By standing on tho board you will press the dirt over tho seeds just placed. Every time you move tho board pTaco two sticks in tho edges of the bed to mark where the row is. It is a good plan to slip the flower package over tho top of tho stick to remind yon later what each row contains. If you are me thodical keep a register of how many rows are pansles, how many calen dulins, etc. When the bed is finished do not rake lightly over the top of it. The weight of your body on the board will cover the seeds sufficiently. If you disagree with this sprinkle a lilt of loose dirt over the rows, but remember that many a flower seed has failed to be a flower because it has been buried un der too much soil. It will be necessary with some flow era to tblq out the young plants. Hera 1 / JOY IN THE FLOWER GARDEN. is a mistake the amateur almost al ways makes. She thinks it a pity to disturb the tiny plantlets and leaves them to crowd and tight each other for supremacy. It is a great, crying fact which every flower lover should know that a few plants, well cared for and given plenty of room and cultivation, will entirely surpass a lot of crowded, sparse slips trying to find room. If you want fine flowers you must cultivate the soil. Many n flower bed has been ruined by too much water and too little cultivation. Don't be afraid to scratch among your flowers. One of the little hand scratchers Is convenient, and how it does open tho soil for the tonic Nature has ready for her little friends, the flower roots! Never water flowers during the heat of the day. Watch for suckers and slugs. The aphis may be killed with almost any spray, even cold water be ing effective, but tobacco liquid gives the best results. You can buy the nico tine mixtures at any dealer's. Some pests must be smothered; oth ers must bo strangled or poisoned. Whale oil soap will answer in cases where a coating over the insect is de sired, but it is bad smelling stuff, and I have had much better success with bordeaux mixture or nicotine. Jteep your perennials and your annu nls in separate parts of the garden. Terennials are always satisfactory be cause they need so little attention aft er they are once planted. Some of these will not bloom the first year, but will last a long time after once becom established. !M.
