Brake trouble will be avoided byj hold as they should. AVOID SQUE.*KINC BIUKES. Squeaking brakes are a nuisance which can be avoided by proper ad- justment. This annoyance can often bo stopped by removing the w^heels and roughening the brake lining with a file. The brake mechanism should be wiped off and oiled once every 500 miles of driving. Many accidents are due to faulty adjustment or api-lication of brakes fore you come to a stop. This causes; the engine to assist the brakes in; bringing the car to a standstill. j In going down an ordinary hill: leave the clutch engaged and close; down the throttle. But in going down I a steep hill or a moderate hill with ai heavy load, put tho gear into inter- i mediate or low speed at the top of â-  tha hill and leave the clutch engaged.

When a housewife asks whether the goods she Is buying are cotton or wool- en, she little thinks that originally they wero one and the same, for it was to a woolen fablic made in Bristol, England, that the name "Bristol cot- ton," was first applied. Bristol used to be the seaport of the Lheu seat of the woolen trade, the â-  West of England, and "Bristol cotton," j a stripe:! cloth, with a long nap which i could be reshorn where the garment j got shabby, was woven at Brldgewater | and Taunton. I The word "blanket" has a peculiar i origiu. In early times family names often arose from tlie bearer's occupa- tion, and for generations a family \ named Blanket had been in the woolen tradt and had manufactured white cloth. It is probable that this trade ' gave them their name from "Blanc." (white), but it was this family which invented tho comfortable bed-cover- ing and their "new products were re- ; fen-ed to ao Wunkets.

Phlox, that Stand-by of the peren- nial garden, is practically indestruct- ible. A plant wUich has held Its own through many vlssltudes is surely wtH-th rescuing and cultivating, where- as the newer varieties, If you prefer bu.vtng them to salvaging the remains of deserted gardens, will for the most part be as hardy as the old. Phioi la not raised from seed, because of the tendency of the seedlings to revert to the ugly old-fasihloned shade of pur- plish pink, and plants accordingly should be purchased. It should be divided every three years, aad thfe again affords new proof of its Indestructibility. Most plants can be divided only when the blocm is over for the year. Phlox Just Won't Give Up. But phloi may l>e dug up. the roots cut ia two with a spade In the m.ost ruthless way and the plants reset either just before or during bloom, when, the plant is at its weakest, with no loFs of flowers cr danger to the growth, if only pleucy of water be sup- plied the divided plants until they be- come well rooted. The two varieties of lychnis are al- so very liardy, aad a great addition to che garden in spring and early sum- mer. The earlier â€" viscarla. â€" with its long purplish pink racemes.

The platycodon haih from Siberia, which alone should speak volumes for its hardiness. Ail dealers do not keep it in stock, and to remedy this over- sight an effort should be made by freshments cou'.d t>e served at small every gardener to create a demand for cost and ample profit by the women this lovely flower. and children in their spare moments.!

The ia its be lag given up for There are also many perfectly bard? rcses of old type which do not corres- pond to any of the hybrids of to-day, but which are very lovely. One old house I know has a good- sized rose bed which has been entire- ly supplied from deaerteil gardens In the vicinity. The varieties which comr p-oie it are. though beautiful, najne- les.i so far as I know. Returning to perennials, we must not forget the ho-flyhock. neit to the phlox the most valnabde addition to I the garden. Tbejse seed themselves so lavishly that a bed once made Is a bed forever. Tulips may well be planted In the garden which is to take care of itself.' They should be set seven inches deep, and as the blcom each year is pro- duced by a new bulb which forms at the base of the old one, they should be reset every third year, lest they w^om down to such a depth that they will ultimately disappear. As tulips are planted at such a depth it is well to set annuals or perennials among them. Thus after the tulips are goue their yellowing foliage will be concealed by later flowers. Covering should be removed very early in the spring. The frosts of win- ter do less harm to the garden than do the early thaws, which draw the young plants out of the ground to be destroyed by later frcst3. The plants once fairly started, weed- ing is the chief care. This may be parsed by during the busy seasons on the farm, and this negligence made up tor by more diligent attention at con- venient times. Watering, too. i£ important. Watering should be done heavily or not at a!!. Vnlesi you can water sufficiently to sink far Into the earth â€" and a little excavalion after a heavy rain will show you how hard this is to accomp- lishâ€"it is best to let the plants shift for themselvee and not to accustom them to frequent light worering.
