METAL LATH 
CONSTRUCTION 
It’s the modern way of applying plaster and 
stucco. It's the only method that is even 
considered nowadays in planning buildings 
—from skyscrapers to bungalows — where 
permanency with economy is a vital factor. 
Remember this when planning your home. 
Build for the future in the most economical 
way — with KNO-BURN Metal Lath for the 
inside walls and ceilings, and KNO-FUR 
Metal Lath for the exterior. 
KNO-BURN 
METAL LATH 
is a flat sheet of metal fabric with a web-like mesh 
that completely imbeds itself in the plaster. This 
form of construction produces a reinforced con¬ 
crete-like wall. The plaster simply can’t come off.

KNO-FUR 
METAL LATH 
for outside use is a metal fabric similar to KNO- 
BURN with parallel ribs that increase its strength 
and provide a substitute for furring. It has the 
same web-like plaster-gripping mesh that makes 
KNO-BL’RN so effective.

earthen vessel and add part of the water. 
This will make a mixture that boils. Add 
the remainder of the water gradually. To 
use, dilute one part of this with one hun¬ 
dred parts of water. Where there are 
many roses to be cared for, such a stock is 
almost imperative, for roses require spray¬ 
ing at least once a week to keep them in 
prime condition. 
• Work for June 
Use the arsenate and first strength Bor¬ 
deaux on apple and peat: thirty days from 
time of last using. Spray with the arsen¬ 
ate promptly if any small caterpillars are 
seen anywhere on the trees, repeating as 
may be necessary throughout the season. 
Continue use of arsenate of lead on 
cherry, plum, peach and apricot as directed 
under treatment for April, unless the req¬ 
uisite number of applications have been 
made before the beginning of this month. 
Spray roses with the Potassium sulphide 
every week, and with arsenate of lead for 
slug-worms and rose-bugs as soon as 
either appear. 
Work for July 
Spray apple and pear with arsenate of 
lead about the twenty-fifth of the month, 
to catch the second brood of the codling 
moth. 
Spray roses with the same, for rose 
bugs; with the diluted soap wash for 
aphids ; and with the potassium sulphide to 
prevent fungous disease. Only the latter 
need be used regularly each week; use the 
other two only if necessary. 
Work for August 
Spray apple and pear with arsenate of 
lead the fifteenth of the month. 
Spray roses weekly with Potassium sul¬ 
phide, throughout the season. 
The Hundred Per Cent Garden 
(Continued from page 393) 
ready-mixed brands for use in a hill or 
drill is somewhat risky as they frequently 
contain substances which will injure the 
tender rootlets of plant and seedlings. We 
use a mixture which we mix ourselves and 
which consists of one part each of tank¬ 
age, cotton-seed and bone flour, which we 
have found to be very quick-acting, very 
effective and perfectly safe. If you will 
take your hoe and open up the hills where 
you are going to plant for four or five 
inches down, or run a deep furrow with 
your wheel-hoe the length of the row you 
are going to plant, and then use this mix¬ 
ture, about a third of a small handful to a 
hill, cover it over with soil and set out the 
plants or sow the seed, you may be as¬ 
sured that you are taking proper measures 
toward insuring one hundred per cent, re¬ 
sults with these particular crops. 
The tall-growing peas, pole-beans (both 
Lima and the ordinary kind) and tomatoes 
ought all be given adequate support if you 
expect them to supply you with the best 
they can produce. I am of the opinion 
that the tall-growing garden peas will be 
used less and less as the improved Amer-
