• 30 



One of the most attractive features in a home is a Trell- 

 kept fish globe. Many hours can be passed by young and 

 old in watching the actions of its finny inhabitants, opening 

 to us a wor d of study and revealing to us the mysteries and 

 phenorae a of the liquid world. It is a source of continual 

 interest and never-failing delight. Fish globes are care- 

 fully packed and can be shipped with entire safety. Fish 

 require little or no attention, in fact more fish die from too 

 much attention than from the lack of it. Water should not 

 be chansTcd ottener than once a month. Gold Fish, Silver 

 Fish aud Japanese Fan Tail Fish are the most popular for 

 globes. Sand, or pebbles, should be placed ^ inch deep on 

 the bottom of globe and a plant of Washington Grass plan- 

 ted. Feed the fish twice a week on Faust's Fish Food.

POT, SWEET AND MEDICINAL 

 HERBS. 



Every garden should contain some of the following varie- 

 ties of herbs, both for culinary and medicinal purposes, as 

 they are easily grown, and, when preserved by drying, are 

 ready for use at any season of the year. Care .should be taken 

 to harvest them properly. Cut just before they are in full 

 bloom, on a dry day, and, after having been thoroughly 

 dried, they should be entirely excluded from the air. Sow 

 in spring, in shallow drills, covering lightly, and when well 

 up thin out or transplant to a proper distance apart.

The New Forage Plant. 



The claims made for this wonderful new foras« 

 plant may seem extravagant, and yet they are fully 

 borne out by testimonials of the strongest character and 

 endorsed by horticulturists of the greatest prominence 

 whose word cannot be doubted, seconded, as they are, 

 by the agricultural press of the entire world. 



SACAIjINE is not a new plant, having been brought 

 from Russia to Paris twenty years ago by Mr. Edouard 

 Andre, and sold ever since as an ornamental plant by 

 the principal nurserymen. Its speci'Blties as a forage 

 plant, however, were not discovered until 1893, when 

 the severe drought experienced in France, having de- 

 stroyed every other forage plant but this, it was found 

 that horses, cattle and sheep would eat it with avidity. 

 If it is considered so valuable in France, how much 

 more will it be so here where the cattle interest is so 

 enormous— especially in the West and South, where 

 scarcely any other forage plant than this will grow. It 

 has been recommended by the greatest horticulturists 

 in this country, notably by Prof. J. L. Budd, of the Iowa 

 Agricultural College, who has grown it for twelve years, 

 and claims that it is not only perfectly hardy, but an 

 exceedingly strong growing plant, having made a 

 growtli of fourteen feet l>y June, enough to prove 

 that it could be cut every *nonth during the growing
