HUTr, Landscape Architect C d I IALoy elyu. I cia Wooozb I ILeN*cy Aroblte:I o oy aors I y. bi b r Notbrooi L doo y S rbe In filling the lily pool any r fresh water fit for drinking or JI bathing purposes will be satis- factory. Some gardeners prefer, a fountain in the pool but this,. is injurious to the plants and eventually you will only have'hefountain patt left to l. view. The plants will be destroy- ed if the fountain is let run for any length of time. Water plants prefer a fairly warm water to develop in, With a fountain op- erating in the pool the constant supply of fresh water lowers the temperature too greatly for the health of the plants. Some water garden enthusi- asts prefer to set their plants in s black muck soil, but such soil is quite often sour snd lacks fertility, a bad combination. Our experience and that of friends indicate that the ordinary good garden soil properly fertilized is most suitable, the best fertilizer for the purpose being well rotted cow manure well mixed with the soil in the proportion of one part manure to two parts soil. If the garden soil is very sandy we would suggest the mixing in of a little clay at the time the manure is added. Water plants properly fertil- ized will bloom over a long sea- on. Blood meal is also a good fertilizer used in the proportion of one part blood meal to thirty parts soil. This should be well mixed with the soil before plac- ing in the pool. The inoles in our garden this year have been somewhat of a nuisance but being soft hearted toward afi animals no actual steps have been taken so far to do away with them. The limit has now been reached, however, The cold frame has a consider- able number of choice plants ready for setting out snd the moles have gotten into it and ruined many of the plants. Perhaps some of our readers have discovered a quick easy method of getting rid of the pests. If so, we will be appreci- ative of their help. This fall we plan to take up the cold frame from its location and tack a fine mesh galvanized or copper screen over the bottom. This will at least prootect the plants in the frame but will not help the rest of the garden.

The facts sre that the Indians of the Okanagsn Lake have always avoided that part in which Ogopogo has made his re- ported appearances, stating it contains a devil; also that he has been seen by quite a number of people st dilferent times, an of whom could not have been insane or under the influence of "the cup which inebristes but does not always cheer." Instead of making jokes about these ap- pearances, it would be far more to the credit of our scientific men if they were to make a thorough investigation and settle the question once for aU, No reasonab'.e being can dispute the fact that the Okanagan Lake contains some monster of a known or unknown species, and it is strictly up to them to find out what it is Talking of "happy ships," the freighter that a few days ago sailed up the Delaware with a cargo of monkeys, which, let out of their cages by a pet monkey, were fighting an over the vessel, must have been the happiest that ever sailed the Seven Seas. It is reported that our near ancestors being certain large chimpanzees, and our more distant relations of other breeds scrapped an over the decks and between decks, even carrying their warfare up the masts. One can imagine the remarks of the crew as they plied the hoses which finally deluged the monkey Donnybrook into their cages snd quietude, Even then the chimpsnzees, with that tenacity which distinguishes their reputed descendant, man, continued to beat their chests in their wrath. We seem, alas, to have forgotten that habit. I May 29, 1931.
