GARDENS and GARDENING HOLLYBURN THEATRE A well drained reasonably rich soil ls desirable for the growing of annuals. Annuals, unlike per- ennials, have a rather short growing season, consequently they should be provided with the necessary stimulant for quick growth. Where the soil is not naturally suited for annuals it may be put In the proper shape by digging in a generous supply of rotted manure. If it is desirable to segregate those annuals requiring a heavy soil from those which prefer a light soil it is desirable to treat the two kinds separately. Clay may be added to the soil for the one and sand and leaf mould to the other. If the soil is for general use, mix'the clay, sand and man- ure in with the reguid&r garden soil. If yqu do not expect to stay in your present home more than a year or two and therefore do not wish to go to so much trouble use any of the prepared fertilizers or plain bone meal or cottonseed meal. About one pound for each five square feet is about right. However, because of the fact that a deep soil of proper texture well supplied with organic man- ure acts somewhat like a sponge 6&0 yards, Girls 8 9, and 10 years (Skipping) -- 1, Beatrice Sparks; 2, Margaret Shillingford 50 yards, Boys 7 years -- I, Jack Boyd; 2, Walter Finlay. 60 yards, Girls 7 years -- I, Evelyn Cook; 2, Kathleen Ward.

Take s leaf of the plant and rub it over the wound, when it will at once remove any pain or irritation set up by the bite. VERNON FEED STORE A. C. SEA((I,F. Pious Wssi P m its abihty to return moisture we recommend the use of man- ure in preference to the manu- factured fertilizers. For loca- tions where the drainage is not good It is advisable to provide some artificial means of carry- ing oif the surplus wuter. Due to the locations of the land in West Vancouver the problem of drainage is not as a rule serious, the natural slope is usually suf- ficient. If drainage is necessary use the regular drain tile, con- necting it to a ditch or sewer. The tile should be placed about three feet deep. Watering should be done not oftener than once a week when the ground should be thoroughly soaked. Frequently light sprink lings will keep the root system near the top and if the sprink- lings are then neglected for sev- eral days the plants will wilt. By wetting thoroughly so that the water soaks deep into the soil the roots will go down and will then stand a dry spell with- out harm.

The hostler who was to attend him asked; »Do you prefer an English saddle or a Western?a "What's the diiference?a he asked. "The Western saddle has a horn," replied the attendant. "I don't think I'l need the horn," said the Englishman. "I don't intend to ride in heavy traffic." She: "Funny no one seemed to realize what a bad egg he was while he was rich." He: »My dear, a bad egg is only known when it's broke. Spirit Medium: aiNy control will now play the tambourine.a Voice: "Make it the trumpet, Sarah. The darned tambourine's busted."
