Blooms From Split Bulbs.
A novel experiment is that of grow
ing two hyacinth bulbs together. Two
bulbs are selected which are known
to flower about the same time, al
though In other respects the more di
verse they are the better. Each is cut
from the crown to the base with a
sharp knife in such a way that the
central shoot is exposed but not injur
ed. The two larger portions of the
bulbs are then tied together, the cut
portions facing one another. The dou
ble bulb is then potted in the usual
way. If all has gone well a single
stem comes up. while the flower may
be blue on one side and pink on the
other, according to the colors of the
bulits. The result Is highly mystifying
to gardeners who are not “in the
know.” The experiment is often car
ried out by the Dutch growers and
rarely fails if carefully executed.

When the Plow Handles Fight You.
A city man was driving in the coun
try and stopped to ask the way of a
farmer who was plowing in a field.
Noting the perspiration beading the
farmer's forehead the city man in
q ill red:
"Plowing pretty tough sort of work
ain’t It?”
"Nope.” said the farmer. "Only
•long In the middle of the afternoon
when the plow handles get to Hgbtin’
b feller.”
"What do you do then?”
"Oh, Just fight back.”
As the city man drove on he thought
that a farmer's work Is a good deal
like that of anybody else. There are
times in every business when the plow
handles tight the man that holds them.

Be the Model for
Your Own Clothes!
Rarely does a man who wears
ready-made clothing look right
in it. It was not made for him,
and no matter how well it may
apparently fit, the fact remains
that when the suit “settles” and
loses its ironed false form, it
will cave in here, bag there and
wrinkle somewhere else.
