Paris green should be mixed with air-slaked lime, if used in the dry in the proportion of one small tablespoonful to gallon of lime. Mix the lime and Paris green thoi’oughly, and put ^nto a thin flour sack, and shake over I'he plants in the morning, when the dew on the vines. If used as a liquid, one small tablespoonful of Paris green to two gallons of water, adding ^ quart of lime to the solution. Set out cabbage, kale, collards, celery, and tomato plants. Plant snap beans and corn weekly for succession. Corn can be planted for I’oasting ears up to the twentieth of July. Sow rutabaga turnip and beet for fall ^se. The latter part of the month, the following can be sown; Spinach, endive, ^nustard, chicory, turnip, lettuce, and Spanish or winter radish. Tomatoes planted in July will give an ^^undant crop for fall use. It seems that very few people know..,, ^'ich about spinach. It is highly prized by the French, who call it the “scavenger °f the stomach,” as it contains more mineral salts than any other green vege- table, and should be in every garden. one ounce of seed to one hundred feet of drill. Keep right after the garden ci*op in the Way of cultivation and fertilization. Certainly every one of the vegetables should be cultivated after each rain, and ^f I'ain does not fall, cultivation should be given at least once a week. Remem ber that it is almost impossible to 'give the garden too much plant food. —G. S.

The work of the lodge during the past six months was reviewed, and the good of the order was freely discussed. It was agreed that the members be urged to be more regular in their attendance at the weekly meetings of the lodge. Each member should feel that it is his duty to be present. Let each remember his responsibility in this matter, and show his intei’est in the lodge in proper manner. Those who attended the meeting of the Grand Lodge, at Gastonia, last month, and likewise the D. 0. K. K. meeting at the same place, at about the same time, reported that they enjoyed a very pleasant and profitable time. The Grand Lodge took action on many important matters, and is fully alive to the demands of the times. A Grand Keeper of Records and Seal was selected, to give his full time to the business of the Order, and in this man ner it is expected to build up a better and more business-like system of hand ling all matters pertaining to the work of the Order. —Thos. C. Sheppard
