SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1950 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE rm PAGE FIFTEER gH HHH i DDELIN Canadian ' « PeTunias « «Nrcorriana - Garden Service THIS MAY SCARE THEM In many sections of Canada, and not necessarily away out in the country either, rabbits, groundhogs, coons and other four-footed animals do a lot of damage. Sometimes even on the edge of the big cities they are troublesome. Where one has scruples against sterner measures an experiment in the writer's gar- den last summer may be worthwhile. 'A family of coons started to raid the corn patch, and knowing from previous experience that only a few of these raids would mean no corn roasts that season, a light cow-bell was rigged up with long strings to several stalks of corn on the outside row. Even a light wind made the bell ring, and the coons if they were not very careful would do the same. In any case the raids on that patch ended. Whether the same scheme will work again this year is another matter. An electric fence would probably check these robbers, and also groundhogs and rabbits, and often some loose, white string tied here and there will scare them. * WHY WE CULTIVATE {and in dry weather soak. Light shower. Wait, of course, a few hours or so until the soil is just dry enough to work. KEEP PLANTING There are. some vegetables and flowers that can still be planted successfully in most parts of Can- ada. Beans, beets, carrots, lettuce and corn are in this category. Many experienced gardeners make a prac- tice of planting these regularly up to the first week in July. Where a long, open fall is assured and the summer weather not too hot, peas and spinach can be included too. With flowers it is advisable to get well-started plants, A little extra cultivation, chemical fertilizer and perhaps some watering during dry weather will push any late plantings along quickly. SOAK IT WELL Having water / available for the garden is a big advantage. If the supply is limited to what can be pumped by hand from a well or a commer of the kitchen garden cistern then it is well to confine to where the lettuce, onions and a few short rows of beets and carrots are concentrated and also, of course, to a few favorite flowers. But if there is a hose and lots of water then the whole garden and lawn will benefit, sprinklings are of little use, They | will just keep down the dust, which | is of doubtful advantage, or when Wood Siding Economical Outside Finish for Home Outside sheathing is nailed to the framework of the house. It helps strengthen the structure be- sides adding to the insulating value of the wall. Immediately following' application, the sheathing should be covered with a tarred or 'as- phalted felt or other suitable build- ing paper to prevent moisture from reaching the structural frame and interior finish. This paper must be napped at least four inches at all joints, The size cr type of finish siding used depends upon personal taste, desired architectural affect or economy. Wider siding usually gives a better appearance than narrow siding and for this reason it is generally preferred. A build- ing materials dealer can show you the various styles most suitable for your intended location. Where two pieces of siding must be joined together, the joint is usu- ally made vertically. The actual cut, when made on an angle as shown in weather. This encourages the roots Figure 1, makes a better joint and one which is more easily covered when painted. Good practise re- quires that the joint be made over a stud® Special consideration' should be given to corner joints to prevent moisture from reaching the back of the siding. A mitred joint, shown in Figure 2, will adequately serve the purpose. An alternative is the use of corner boards -- vertical pieces which are nailed at the corners be- fore the siding is applied. The ver- tical endsof the siding is then fitted snugly against the corner boards. Careful workmanship is required around the door and windqw cas- ings to ensure tight joints.

LET US SHOW YOU HOW YOURS CAN BE MODERNIZED Killing weeds is only one of sev- eral reasons=for cultivating flowers and vegetables. Even if it were pos- sible to have chemical weed killers, which would destroy all but the flowers and vegetables, we would still need to cultivate. This stirring of thie soil with a rake. hoe or what- ever is used is essential to let in air, to absorb moisture and to distribute plant food. In dry parts of the country' it is also essential to keep the soil from drying out.
