The A. B. C. of July Watering 
(Continued from page 37) 
of the thumb is to be recommended and 
can be acquired by little practice. 
If a spray is to be used, there is nothing 
better than what is known as the Boston 
nozzle. This is like a rose watering can 
with a coupling. The two most serious 
mistakes made in watering are “sprink¬ 
ling the surface without doing it thor¬ 
oughly enough to wet the soil down to the 
moist soil below, and applying the water 
in the morning or while the sun is shining 
brightly.

BANISH SPARROWS 
They keep native song birds away. The famous Dodson 
Sparrow Trap catches as many as 75 to 100 a day. Success¬ 
fully used all over America. For the love of our beautiful 
songsters get rid of sparrows. The U. S. Government, 
the Audubon Societies and all lovers of birds advocate 
the destruction of this national pest—English Sparrows. 
Get rid of sparrows; native birds will return to 
your gardens. Sparrows are most easily trapped 
in July and August—young birds being most plenti¬ 
ful and bold. 
FREE—Mr. Dodson’s illustrated book about birds— 
how to attract and hold them as friends and neigh¬ 
bors. Tells all about the many Dodson Bird Houses. 
The Dodson Sparrow Trap 
Strong wire, electrically welded. Adjustable needle 
points at mouths of two funnels. Price, $5 f.o.b. Chicago. 
Note. —Mr. Dodson, a Director of the Illinois and 
Michigan Audubon Societies, has been building houses 
for native birds for 19 years. He builds 20 kinds of 
houses, shelters, feeding stations, etc., all for birds — all 
proven by years of success. Free booklet. . Write to

Hose connection, with reversed prongs, for minor leaks 
Inadequate watering can do little good, 
and may often result in positive injury 
by inducing the plant roots to grow too 
near the surface, where they are more 
likely to be injured from either cultivation 
or hot weather; and watering in the morn¬ 
ing or during midday of a bright sunny 
day always results in a waste of water 
through evaporation, and a tendency to 
form a crust, and indirect injury to some 
plants and flowers, particularly if the 
water is applied in sufficient quantities to 
stand upon the surface for some time be¬ 
fore soaking in. 
A Midsummer Masque 
(Continued from page 36 ) 
HELIA — My subjects all! Observe 
with care, as ye have been well taught, this 
fleeting space that passeth with a heart¬ 
beat—this twinkling that we poise, be¬ 
twixt the wax and wane of year. Guard 
that ye breathe nor stir not nor hurt in 
littlest measure the perfect stillness of the 
hush enjoined—lest that fine balance tot¬ 
ter. Lay fast hold on thy thoughts. Take 
heed lest idle wish cloud the pure issue of 
thy souls’ pure need. Bridle the whims of 
sense; restrain the vagrant fancy. For 
'tis a mighty instant — loosing a force.
