VENTILATION IN TPEI ARDER

The Importance of the Harder in every
household is not always realized as it
should be, and, consequently, the health
OF the whole household suffers. In we'll
arranged house the larder should he thor
oughly ventilated, dry and airy, and
where possible, should be on the north
side of the house, and not placed any
where to suit the convenience of the
builder. There is no doubt that this very
important room would receive more care
if people realized the power of absorption
of gases which is possessed by both
cooked and uncooked food. Stagnant air
is productive of stupefaction, while air
in motion is generally dry, so it will be
seen how necessary it is to have a good
current of air where food is kept. Do
not keep game, either furred or feathered
in harder with other food

Spraying Garden Trees,

In many suburban homes there are only a very few trees, but these need spraying just as much as the trees in big orchards. The question is how to do it most cheaply and conveniently. It may not pay to buy expensive pumps and fxings for these small operations. To owners of garden fruit trees who have commanl of water under pressure a writer in the New York Tribune sug- gests the following method: Introduce the spraying mixture by means of fun nel into the ordinary garden hose, filling up the section or sections; attach hose to the supply pipe; adjust the sprayer tgeneraily in use on garden hose) so that the tree is reached throue hout, and on turning on the water the spray ing solution will be driven steadily out and will be quite under control. When the spray begins to come clear it should of course be turned off at once.

the possibilities in ginseng culture. have at this writing December, '9Q 38 beds in the garden stocked with roots and seeds, 25,OOO seedling roots in forest nursery beds, 2l ,0OO seeds sown in forest, from which plants are expected next spring, and this seasons crop of seed, packed in loam in condition to promote germination, ready to be sown next season. 1 have also during the past four years furnished the public with over 60, GOO seeds and about 1,5OO roots for cultivation. I am aware of the general impression that ginseng culture is slow business, and that it cannot be made a profitable success. admit that 1t is slow starting and must be worked up from small beginnings, but when once fairly started can be developed quite rapidly. But no one need think he can rush into ginseng culture and make fortune in one or two years Setting few roots or sow ing few seeds, and giving it no turth- CT attention, will never develop ginseng culture on paying basis. It won't spread over your ground like weeds
 To my mind the business is best suited to the small farmer and market gardener.
 A Chinaman came to Boston few years ago wanting five hundred tons of ginseng-he succeeded in getting about four hundred pounds. This is the way we are supplying the demand, The ex- ports of ginseng Dfrom the United States during ten years, lSS2-1S91, amounted to nearly eight million dol lars-an item of some importance. This valuable source of income will soon be a thing of the past, unless an effort is made to develop it's cultiva- tion, as the wild plant is fast being ex- hausted in this country.
 Ginseng is native in China, Tartary and Korea. It has been cultivated in Korea for hundreds of years. It is a royal monopoly, cultivated under li- cense, and the value of the crop is esti- mated at five hundred thousand dollars year.
 am often asked how can we get started in ginseng culture. My advice to all is to go into the forest, gather the wild roots and transplant them. A few weeks devoted to this work each year for few years will give a good start.

A Crop That Can Be Made to Pay Very

 This has yielded me over $500 from less than two square rods of ground in less than five years. I have taken this season QS94) from seven beds (3X16 feet each) 2,234 roots, weight 13l pounds. From these were taken out for replant- ing 1,906 roots (5OA pounds), leaving sOH pounds to be dried for market, making 299l pounds dry, which sold for S per pound; 629 seeding roots worth S2 per hundred, for transplanting, were also taken from the same beds, and are not included in above figures. The 2,234 roots had been under cultivation in one bed five years and in the other four years, and had produced during the time at least $75 worth of seed. The first cost of stocking the beds with wild roots was less than $25. It will be observed that the stock has been de- creased only 32S roots.

CHAPTER III.


John D. Rockefeller lives in a COM
paratlvely modest fashion. When in
the city his home is at No. 4 West
F1fty-fourth street, opposite st. Luke,s
hospital. The house is surrounded nv
peautltul grounds, and is substantiaIIv
!urhlshed, but even the modest crit
icu observer can find nothing ostenta-
tlous or offensive to good taste through
out the place.
Inc saying that Mr.. Rockefeller
looks like a preacher is In a measure
true. he IS not a large or an impress
stve looking man, but has STOPPING
siiouiosrs and rather melancholy
race. The family has a splendid resi-
dence in Cleveland, and another in
greenwich, Conn.,, but the fayorite re-
tir1hg spot of the magnate is his spIen-
ulu country residence near Tarrytown
MT Rockefeller is said to be fine
performer on the violin, and is always
one OF the family musicians when music
IS IN order There is also a fine nri-
Vdte skating rink attached to the house
anu on winter evenings it is favortte
resort for the entire family.
Although Mr. Rockefeller orivas q
plodlg1ous amount every year to Diff
Ierent charitable objects, he generally
ooes so through institutions and organi-
zauOns 1t is said that he pays a salary
OF $4,000 year to the person who
LOOKS after his charities and makes in
VeSt1gauons as to the worthiness of
the concerns he proposes to benefit
Meme OF the family is afflicted with ex-
tfavagant habits, and, while they give
freely, 1t is seldom that their charitable
dellars find their way into the pockets
OF unworthy persons. They never at
tend either the theatre or opera. but
they nave box at Carnegie Music
hall, where they regularly attend the
Damrosch concerts or those given by
Se1dl or other eminent performers.
He was the principal donor for the
building of the new dormitory at Vas
sar College. 1t is named Strong Hall
IN honor of Mr. Rockefellers daughter,
MRS. Strong. His donations to the
American Baptist Education Society
have proved the salvation of that or
zaniZation.
In all educational history, however.
the donations of Mr. Rockefeller to the
University of Chicago are without a
parallel Altogether they amount to the

Andrews, a porter in a commission
store further down the street. In the
course of conversation one evening
Andrews expressed his belief that there
was great future in the petroleum
business. Rockefeller had ALWAYS
thought so. but had never before ex-
pressed an opinion. The conversati ton
with Andrews gave the decided touch
TO Rockefeller's ideas. He consulted
with Clark. and together with Andrews
they built little petroleum refinery
up the river a short distance from St.
Louis.
Rockefeller and Clark's investment
in this enterprise was $4,000 The firm
still hold onto their commission bust
ness, however But the petroleum re-
f1nery gave promise of big business,
and Rockefeller determined to give his
entire attention to it, He tried to per-
suade Clark to his way of thinking.
but. the latter did not care to venture
into untrodden fields. g..
The firm was therefore dissolved,
Clark buying out Rockfeller's inter
est. Andrews, who had been superin-
tending the refinery on a salary, had
saved few hundred dollars, and
Rockefeller. knowing him to be prac-
teal man, took him in as partner.
Thus the Standard Oil company
came into being as a commercial en-
terprise, one of it's originators a book
keeper hardly more than a boy, the
other a porter in a commission house.
The bookkeeper is now president Of
the company, while the porter lives in
a three hundred thousand dollar resi-
dence.
At the time Clark withdrew from
the little refinery the entire property
could not have been worth much more
than $1,000. 1t was not much Of a nest
egg, yet from this humble beginning
has grown the great Standard Oil
company, with it's hundreds of offshoOts
and it's $70,000 900 of capital. SO the lit
tie refinery kept pegging away, with
an ever increasing business and an
ever ambitious management
In the meantime young William
Rockefeller, who had been working at
a salaried position in Cleveland; came
to st. Louis and took a position in the
little oil refinery of Rockefeller & An
drews. The investment continued to
pay handsome profit. and a year or
two after beginning BUSINESS the firm
had a snug sum in the bank.
A year or two after Rockefeller and
