plays the part of ''The Tarrytown
Widow - in the comedy of that name

early in the season before the new tariff
bill was passed. While abroad she

to wear in the role of the rich young

An irritable man can be worked over
into quite fellow if he is fed properly.
The lack of proper digestion sets up a
condition of brain, that in turn shows
in worry and fretfulness. Coffee is
shown, in scientific experiments in arti-
fetal digestion to arrest the process
of digestion and delay and interfere in
serious manner with the operations.
Persons with anything but the most

roots soon fill the pot and grow out into
the soil of the bench through the drain
age hole in the bottom of the pot. Be-
ing thus buried in the soil the little pots
do not dry out as rapidly as they would
do were they exposed to the air.
The moment pot is removed from
the bench another may be set in its
place without waiting to clear the
bench, or any portion of it, of the rest
Of the lettuce. The method thus proves
economical, both of time and space.
Grocers and other retail dealers readi-
ly appreciate the advantage of having
lettuce grown in this way. It permits
them to keep the lettuce on hand for a
considerable length of time and still
present it to their customers crisp,
fresh and attractive, instead of wilted
and unattractive.
When the plant is ready for market
it may be keocked out of the pot and
the ball of earth and roots undisturbed
may he wrapped sungly in old paper.
The earth will thus keep moist for a
long time and furnish moisture to the
plants through the roots which are inn
bedded in it. Local customers may be
supplied with lettuce in the pots, and
the pots returned after the plants are
taken from them.
While the subject of forcing is thus
under consideration, a few hints on the
care of crop may not be amiss. az
The temperature should be kept down
to from so to 60 degrees during the day
and from 45 to so degrees during the
night. Plant lice become more trouble
some in high temperature. (2.) AS
much ventilation should be given as
possible. but still keep the temperature
within the range mentioned. (3.) So
far as possible water only on bright,
sunny days. preferably carly in the
day.
The varieties of cabbage lettuce are
Big Boston, Salamander, Drumhead,
Henderson's New York (curled), Golden
Ball (dwarf). Golden Queen (dwarf).
The variety Of loose heads are Grand
Rapids (curled), Hanson (curled), New
Iceberg (curled), Prize Head (curled).

A Method Of Forcing That Has Been
Practiced with Success.
The method of forcing lettuce in pots
may be of interest to those who grow
lettuce under glass either in the .ama-
teur way or as commercial product.
The preparation ct soil for lettuce
should not be too heavy. 1t should be
composed of three parts by measure
of loan, one Of manure and one of sand.
The seed is sown in boxes about 12
by 10 inches and three inches deep, or
on the bench. Benches are six inches
deep, the lower three inches being
filled with well-rotted manure, and the
upper three inches with potted soil pre-
pared as described above.
When the plants are about two inches
high they are transplanted to two-inch
pots. SThe benches are filled with soil,
in which the pots containing the let
tuce are plunged, SO that the tops of the
pots are covered with about half an
inch of soil. A little drainage material
is put in the bottom of each pot. The
plants are usually set on the benches
about ten inches apart each way. The

a rusty-reddish tint. The new mush-

OLD fRv,r TaEEa


to Renovate Then.
In the fall is one of the best times
to begin renovating trees that have
been neglected and are not too old. In
a majority of cases feeble growing and
unhealthy trees are as rule the re-
suit of starvation, bad soil or unfavor-
able conditions. In many cases remed-
ial treatment will convert into thrifty,
vigorous trees.
One of the surest signs of debility in
ia tree is the pushing out of adventi-
tious growths from the trunks and
main branches. and the dying off year
by year of the small, twiggy, terminal
shoots.
When the land has been seeded to
grass for considerable time and es-
pecially when no manure has been ap-
piled, trees will begin to show signs Of
unthriftiness.
Flowing the ground in good season in
the fall, giving the trees good prun-
ing. and then before severe cold weather
sets in applying good dressing of ma
nure; scattering broadcast as far out
under the trees as the branches extend.
When the tree is healthy the top is
luxuriant, but if the tree gets weak or
old the top makes but little growth if
it does not die.
In pruning all of the dead or decay
ing limbs should be cut out, and suf-
ficient growth to leave an open head.
In many cases proper pruning and ma
nuring will be all that is necessary to
revive reasonably young tree. When
a tree is dying of old age very little
can be done to sustain the lowering
vitality.
In some cases trees are unthrifty for
want of proper drainage. If water
stands around the roots the tree will
not make healthy growth and provid-
ing proper drainage is, of course, the
proper remedy.
A little needed work in the orchard
done in good season in the fall will

WHEN PAPA WAS a L,TTLE BOY.

"When papa was little boy
You really couldn't find
In all the state Of Washington
A child SO quick to mind.
= His mother never called but oncos
And pa was always there:
He never made the baby cry. -.
Or pulled his sisters hair.
- He never slid down banisters,
Or made. the slightest noise:
And never in his life was known
To fight with other boys.
He always studied hard at school.
1 And got his lessons right:
And chopping wood and milking cows
Were papa's chief delight.
"He always rose at six o'clock
And went to bed at eight.
And never lay abed till noon
And never sat UP late.
Gle finished Latin, French and Greek
: When he was ten years old,
And knew the Spanish alphabet
AS soon as he was told. =
He never grumbled when he had
To do the evening chores.
And ne'er in all his life forgot
To shut the stable doors.
He never, never thought of play
Until his work was done.
He labored hard from break Of day
Until the set Of sun.
He never scraped his muddy shoes
Upon the parlor floor,
And never answered back his ma,
And never banged the door:
But truly, could never see,"
Said little Dick Malloy,
How he could never do these things.
And really be a boy"
