Ererv day more little birds are heard in the garden here gun in spite of many enemies teats. blackbirds who rob their nests. and other frighleninil things: they nest here and delight us all summer long.

Birdbaths filled with fresh wal-p or every day help to keep themt and already this month In in-t quiry has been received for the. loan of our birdbath forms. Over the years these forms have been loaned many times and it is now possible to see while driving into town and around the country in the different gardens. this very same birds' bath which has been here in the garden on the lower lawn and in the rose garden for -many years.

The evergreen hedges are I re- fuge for these little songbirds and the hedges are almost filled with their nests. it is possible for them to save their young in the hedge from some of their enemies.

This 15 one very good reason for planting evergreen hedges and now is the time to begin. it is I beautiful hedge for every sea- son of the year.

LET'S GET DOWN TO EARTH

Soil. the basic stuff of life. con- sists of the upper layer of earth in which plants grow and obtain their food. It is formed by phy- sical and chemical weathering due to interaction between wind, water. heat. cold ice. plant growth and animals. Country gardeners can get good soil quite easily II there are many kinds of soil available for the gathering. It in a different story for those who live in cities. and gardeners must before they can grow a garden.

At this season of the year in the country it is wise before the busy farm work begin to bring good soil and manure near the borders where you can use it without too much heavy carrying.

it is impossible to have I flour- ishing garden without suitable soil which contains everything the plants need. There is I heavy clay soil here Ind and and ashes as wall In humus in the form of manure: of various kinds Ire added each season.
