as a top dressing or for liejuid manure, 
nothing is better than well rotted cow ma¬ 
nure. There is now on the market a brand 
of shredded manure which ought to make 
a good substitute where the real article 
cannot be obtained readily. 
Do not neglect to make notes of the 
effects in the flower gardering during 
this month—where there is too little 
bloom, where colors clash, etc., etc. Re¬ 
member that while the time to make 
changes in the garden is during spring or 
fall, the time to determine what changes 
should be made is right now. 
IN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 
Of course, what has been said about 
supplying water and surface cultivation 
applies here as well as to flowerbeds and 
grounds. 
The last sowings of some of the fall 
vegetables should be made—remembering 
always to firm the seed thoroughly if the 
soil is dry. Limas, carrots, celery, corn, 
cucumbers, even early potatoes, pole 
beans, beets, swiss chard, cabbage and 
cauliflower may still be planted and 
brought to maturity if they are put in 
promptly. Succession plantings of bush 
beans, cress, lettuce, turnip, radish, en¬ 
dive, and kohlrabi should be made. 
Now is the time, also, to set out your 
pot-layered strawberries. Take pains in 
doing this work, and if very dry, put 
water in each hole before setting out, or 
shade from the sun from ten to four 
o'clock for a couple of days with news¬ 
paper. 
The weeds, too, need careful watching 
in this dry weather, especially purslane, 
which beings to ripen seed almost before 
you know it has begun to grow. Remove 
it from the garden and burn. 
Remember that as you work now, even 
if it is so hot that you can hardly touch 
your hand to the soil, depends the success 
of almost three months of your garden, to 
sav nothing of the surplus you should 
have to' store away for the winter months. 
Building a House With a Sleep¬ 
ing Porch 
(Continued from page 34) 
The general construction of the sleep¬ 
ing-porch is shown in the diagram on 
page 62 and needs very little further 
elucidation. For the occasional storms 
that beat in, also for purposes of cleaning, 
it will be found convenient to install a 
gutter at the rail with drips to the out¬ 
side. The latter in all cases should be 
solid. Should the style of architecture re¬ 
quire the use of balusters or of other de¬ 
tails depending upon the play of light and 
shade, then removable flush panels should 
be fitted to the back of the rail to satisfy 
the requirements of the design and to add 
to the comfort of the occupant. Porch 
posts and the jambs of the openings 
should be reduced to their simplest terms

THE HOUSE 
BEAUTIFUL 
A “House Beautiful” illustration greatly reduced 
“The House Beautiful” is anillustrated 
monthly magazine, which gives you the ideas 
of experts on every feature of making the 
home, its appointments and surroundings 
beautiful. 
It is invaluable for either mansion or cot¬ 
tage. It shows how taste will go farther 
than money. Its teachings have saved costly 
furnishings from being vulgar—on the other 
hand, thousands of inexpensive houses are 
exquisite examples of refined taste, as a result 
of its advice. It presents this information 
interestingly and in a plain, practical way. 
Everything is illustrated frequently in sepia 
and colors. 
“The House Beautiful” is a magazine which no woman 
interested in the beauty of her home can afford to be with¬ 
out. It is full of suggestions for house building, house 
decorating and furnishing, and is equally valuable for 
people of large or small income.
