A nird Dictionary.

ornithologists in Great Britain are
hereafter to have the advantage OF a
dictionary containing the notes OF
every British bird represented by a
carefully devised system Of syilahles,
With the aid ol' this dictionary the
tower of birds is expected to be able
to recognize the species TO which a
songster belongs, even when the little
musician itself cannot be seen. As
supplementary TO other methods of
recognizing birds. this may prove Of
interest and value.

Cultivation of Rhubarb.

The rhubarb or pie plant, as it is
usually called, is a very gross feeder,
and the land can hardly be made too
rich for it. The plants must be set
fully a year before it is best to make
any cutting, as premature use of the
stems will check the further growth Of
the roots. Then after having been
highly cultivated four or five years,
the roots mat together so that however
rich the soil, there will not be leaf
and stem growth proportionate to the
root. 1t is always advisable to dig
out q part of the old growth every
spring after the second year. The
portion removed can be used to make
plantations. Even small piece of
root, if it has bud Oh it and is planted
in rich soil, will extend itself after three
or four years so that it can be divided
aid subdivided. 1t is so easy to make
new beds of rhubarb from roots that
there is no need Of sowing rhubard
seed. The growers Of the best rhubarb
do not allow it to seed. AS fast as
the seed stalks begin to shoot up, a
seizure by the hand and sudden twitch
willseparate them from the root. The
old leaves should also be frequently
cut out on enough plants to give some
rhubarb for pies. Even after the
proper season for it has passed, many
housewives put up canned rhubarb
for winter use.

ATEA ROLLING MACHINE.
Invention of a Japanese Genius That VIII
Do the Work of 100 Women.

The Japanese newspapers are reJoic-
ing over the invention by a native
genius of a machine for rolling tea.
The great cost of the production or
tea lies in the labor. Each individual
leaf must be plucked from the plant
and handled with the fingers several
times before it can be sent to market.
Therefore the industry Of tea raising
is improbable without cheap labor.
and the deft fingers Of women. At
Summerville, S. c., high quality or
tea has bsen grown with great sue
cess, cultivated and harvested by col
ored girls at a small expense, judged
from an American standard, but the
women in China and Japan are paid
from four to eight cents n day for
twelve hours labor and board them
selves. If they should receive the
wages of women factory lands in this
country tea would cost four or five
times as much as it does now.
In Japan wages are rapidly advanc-
ing with the development Of civiliza-
ton. In China and Ceylon they re-
main about the same. but the women
Of those countries will certainly follow
the example Of their sisters in Japan
as tLnir intelligence is cultivated.
Therefore the invention of a tea ma
chine is as important to the great in
dustry Of those countries as the inven-
ton of tie cotton gin was l. the
south. Inventive genius has been en-
gagged upon the problem for many
years without being able to contrive
any substitute for human fingers, but
now it is claimed that tn, new ma
chine is success. and can manufac-
ture nearly ton Of tea in twenty
four hours, with the labor Of one man
and a boy or 4 girl. This Is equiva-
lent to the work Of hundred women.

For Feeding Grain Slowly.

Many horses swallow much of their
grain without proper mastication. A
device is shown in the cut to make
them eat slowly. In one end of the
crib is arranged the box with sloping
bottom, as shown. The grain will run
down only as fast as it is eaten away
at the outlet, and this will necessarily
be slowly, as only little can get out
at a time. The inner grain box has a
hinged cover, so that the horse can,
not feed out of the grain till. Few
realize how little good grain does some
horses because of insufficient mastica-
ton. 1t is not merely the loss of the

grain; and the more varied this grain
food the better, while the best vege-
table substance is clover, alfalfa and
green oats in the order named. Beans,
ground, when they can be bought at
a corresponding price with other
grain, are excellent, for they contain
thirty-eight per cent. muscle forming
material, as compared to seventeen
per cent. in barley, twenty-five per
cent. in oats and eleven per cent. in
corn-the corn having the greatest
quantity of fat or heat; but the beans
had best be part of composite meal
made in the following proportions:
Fifteen pounds corn, fifteen pounds
beans, ten pounds barley, fifteen
pounds oats, fifteen pounds wheat

cent. OF the ration, with fifteen per

cent. cut clover or other vegetables,

Storing Roots for Winter.

Roots intended for stock feed,
whether beets, turnips, potatoes OF
artichokes, should be stored close to
the feeding place. A barn cellar is
undoubtedly the best for this, and il
it is basement barn so much the
better, as the feed will then be on a
level with the animals, thus requiring
minimum amount of work in feed
ing. If stored so that the ventilation
is good and frost cannot reach the
bins, the roots will keep from the
late autumn until, grass comes in
spring, furnishing throughout the
winter months the succulent feed nec-
essary to secure best results with
dairy cows, sheep and hogs.
The chief point to preserve is to
provide as nearly perfect ventilation
as possible. THERE'S much more dan
ger from heat than from cold. After
deciding rs the location of the root
bins, build them so that the bottom
will be at least six inches from the
floor and the sides the same distance
from the walls of the cellar. If the
bin is large one, provide partitions
every six or eight feet. Make these
serve as ventilators also. This can be
accomplished by constructing them as
follows: Stand two by six on end for
studding. On each side nail narrow
boards, two or three inches apart.
The floor should also be simply slated,
the size of the crack depending upon
the size of the roots to be stored.
Keep the windows and doors of the
basement open until there is danger
from freezing. If warm day, or sew
eral of them, should occur, close the
windows and doors during the day
time and open them at night. The
roots are thus kept cool and in good
condition.
If q cellar is not available, pitting
in the field is quite satisfactory. The
roots will keep perfectly, but of course
they ale necessarily some distance
from the stock and much more labor
is required in feeding. Select high,
dry spot, make a slight excavation,
pile up the beets carefully and cover
directly with earth. Make the cover
ing slight at first. but as the cold in:
creases deepen the layer of soil. Some
prefer layer of straw, leaves or hay
next the roots, but this is not neces-
sary, particularly with beets and rut-
abagas In either case always pro-
vide ventilation for the pit. A large
wisp of hay reaching from the roots
to the outside of the covering will
answer very well. Possibly a better
plan is to make ventilator by nail
ing together four pieces of fencing
boards in the form of chimney. In.
sert this in the top of the pile of roots
about foot and bank up with soil
when putting on the covering. If
there is any danger offreezing through
this opening during this spell of ez-
tremely cold weather, pack the venti-
lator full of straw or hay. This will
not prevent ventilation, but will keep
out the frost.-American Agricul
