was a mistake, but he agreed to it be¬ 
cause there was a unanimous desire. He 
thinks it did “much diminish and take of 
the mutual respect that should be pre¬ 
served among them.” He consoles him¬ 
self as follows: 
“Let none objecte, this is man’s corrup¬ 
tion and nothing ito the sourse itselfe. I 
answer, seeing all men have this corrup¬ 
tion in them, God in his wisdom saw an¬ 
other course fitte for them.” 
Well, the same spirit is found today 
whenever people try to “co-operate.” 
Nearly everyone is greatly in favor so 
long as the organization puts something 
extra in his own hands. He loses interest 
when he must for a time pay out some¬ 
thing for others. We all want to get 
rather than give. Now, let us see how 
the Pilgrims paid their company debt and 
how they handled the ‘“kickers.”

A Talk About House Plants 
Will you tell me how to care for house 
plants? I have a lot and only have one 
window in which to keep them so they 
can have sun. I have Fuchsias, Coleus, 
geraniums and a few ferns. O bought a 
couple of young ones in Spring and they 
are now growing nicely. Some tell me 
coal gas from a parlor heater will kill 
flowers and ferns. I keep them up¬ 
stairs in one bedroom on the south side. 
Before I planted my flowers I put in a 
I’-and of fertilizer prepared for pot 
plants. Is this any good? I got dirt 
from the woods, good black dirt, then I 
mixed some dirt from my flower beds into 
this and about a tablespoonful of this 
fertilizer. This room where I keep my 
flowers is very cold when the weather is 
freezing outside. Do you think a little 
oil heater would be all right to keep the 
room warm, and would the fumes of the 
oil injure the plants? Also, somebody 
•told me to put a little castor oil around 
the roots of my fern; that it would make 
it grow. MRS. R. M. 
Among the house plants mentioned, 
the Coleus is not likely to be at all satis¬ 
factory. It is quite subject to insect at¬ 
tack. drops its leaves if chilled or exposed 
to coal gas, and does not show the same 
brilliance of color as out of doors. Fuch¬ 
sias often do very well, geraniums are 
usually satisfactory, and there are a num¬ 
ber of ferns that make very desirable 
house plants. 
Escaping coal gas is extremely detri¬ 
mental to house plants, but it is certainly 
equally bad for human occupants. If 
this trouble exists, it should be remedied 
by better draft, repairs, or whatever else 
may be needed. We have grown and 
bloomed fine house plants in rooms heated 
by coal stoves; the fresh pure air, regular 
ventilation and sufficient moisture they 
required provided the best conditions for 
family comfont. An oil stove may he 
used to provide warmth in an unheated 
room, but special care should be given to 
ventilation, as the oil stove exhausts 
oxygen rapidly. 
There are some useful fertilizer mix¬ 
tures prepared for house plants, and 
while we do not know the preparation 
named, it is probably all right. The mix¬ 
ture of humus and loam with the fer¬ 
tilizer will doubtless be satisfactory, if 
you have put a good supply of drainage 
material in the bottom of the pots. Ger¬ 
aniums do not need rich soil, and the soil 
should be very firm in the pot. Loose 
soil, over rich, is often accountable for 
sickly geraniums. 
Do not afflict your poor plants with 
castor oil. It will do thorn no good, and 
will injure the texture of the soil. Well- 
meaning people often advise tea, coffee, 
castor oil and other weird messes for 
house plants. Avoid them all. If a little 
extra fertility is needed during the Win¬ 
ter. stir about a level teaspoonful of dried 
blood lightly into the surface of the soil. 
This, or bonemeal, is often especially 
helpful to a Boston fern. 
Among attractive house plants you will 
find several of the Begonias very bright 
and free flowering, but they would be sen¬ 
sitive to chill or coal gas. Among palms, 
the feathery little 'Cocas Weddelliana is 
charming, also Kentia Forsteriana, and 
we have found them most satisfactory. 
The foliage should be kept free of dust 
by a weekly sponging with lukewarm wa¬ 
ter. The familiar Boston fern, the holly 
fern and the dainty little Pteris erotica 
albo-lineata are all fine for Hie house. 
A few tulips and hyacinths, potted 
now. kept in a cool, dark place for six 
weeks or two months while they form 
roots, and then brought to the window 
in succession, will provide you with beau¬ 
tiful flowering plants for a long time. 
Their treatment is so simple, and the re¬ 
sults are so satisfying, that no window 
garden should he without them. There is 
no such thing as “luck” with house 
plants, but conditions must he right to 
give success. A sodden soil with poor 
drainage, lack of fresh air, escaping coal 
or illuminating gas, and sudden, severe 
chills, are common causes of plant injury. 
Pomace as Fertilizer 
Will apple nomace hurt corn ground if 
it lies over Winter spread thinly with 
manure spreader? e. f. s. 
There is some danger unless you use 
lime. Fresh pomace is quite sour, and 
we have known it to injure the soil. To 
be safe about it we would use at least 
one ton of limestone to the acre when 
spreading the pomace,
