Indeed, SO sure, cheap and certain has
it become that no man, however poor, is
without excuse who does not take advan-
tage of the inducements offered him to
lay up little money to bury him when
dead, and provide support for his afflicted
and stricken loved ones when he is called
away.
1t is nothing short of an objectionable
crime when a father and husband, with
wife and children depending upon him
for support, neglects this sacred obliga-
ton; uses up each week his wages, and

TREE BAROMETERS
The Turning Ct the Leaves In

--ForeteIl Rain.

The Monthly Weather Review states
that trees are good barometers and
forestall weather changes. The story
reads.
1t is true that people often say that
the turning up of leaves is sign Of
rain have heard the remark many
times, but as far as my observations
go the sign does not seem to be a very
sure one. There are many kinds of
trees, like the silver leaf poplars, In
fact all poplars, the maple. and some
of the caks, which turn their leaves
up when ever there is fairly strong.
scady wind, but they do 1t as much in
clear weather as in rainy. 1t has been
suggested to me that possibly the be-
lief may have arisen from the fact
that winds capable of turning leaves
over very often precede or follow rain
storms, and as people are usually on
the alert when the general atmospher-
ic conditions favor rain, looking for
signs to confirm the general feeling
they have that 1t is going to rain. 1t
might be that the turning up OF the
leaves would be especially noted at
such times.

HIRED men ON FARMS
There Should be Reclproc
Relations Between the Farm
rand His Hired Help.

A writer in the American Agricultur-
ist has the following with regard TO
the hired man question upon the farm;
/ have often read the complaints OF
farmers concerning the great difficult
ty of getting and keeping good help
on the farm. Many reasons are given
by the farmers, but / have never read
any from the other side. i have
worked for some years on different
farms and although / have seen faults
on both sides, firmly believe the rem
edy lies with the farmer himself. The
farmer expects too much and gives too
little. He expects his men to work
from early, morning until late at night
often grudging that time dear to every
working mans heart, the noon hour,
merely allowing them time to swallow
their dinner before rushing back to the
hot hay field or corn lot. Sundays
and holidays, when he recognizes any,
the chores must be done, and the aver
age farmer insists upon their being
done with extra care on such days.
How often In haying and harvesting
is the farmer saved great loss by the
willingness of his men to work over
time and ION the jump"-and yet when
the crop is in who ever heard of them
being rewarded? In many houses pro-
fit sharing is practiced, in others a
commission is paid on such extra bus
mess as man on a salary may turn
in, while in others regular wage is
paid per hour for overtime work. Per-
haps something of this nature, or even
a more frequent word of praise when
deserved, might make the farm more
attractive to men who work out.

ROAD SCHEME
Coal Tar Is this Thing to Keep
Down Dust and Make Good
OpiveWays.'

Petroleum has been sprinkled ON
country roads in some places in this
country, the object being to lay the
dust, but the great objection to it is
that it soils everything that comes
in contact with it, Better results
have recently been obtained in France
by the use of coal tar, which makes
a surface like asphalt, but not so inn
pervious. 1t has the power OF arrest
ing the dust particles as they rise,
aud incorporating them in ITSELF In
cities, however, this is impracticable.
and the water cart is the great dust
layer and health preserver.

FALL FLOWING
Il 10 Better " Done Late In tho
Season--How to Dispose
Of tho Stubbles.

/ A writer In the Iowa Homestead
gives the following hints on plowing
ir the fall:
AS to whether fall plowing should
DC done early or late, would say
that with light soil 1t does not matter,
unless the weeds get started and are
killed by frost. Clay soils plowed
early certainly become so packed as
TO need plowing again in the spring.
If manure is applied in coarse con-
dition 1t does better than when plow-
ed early and has a tendency to keep
the soil loose. There Is this. how
ever, the ground should not be left
bare too long. as too much fertility Is
thus lost. Weeds are better than moth
ing After an early fall blowing they
will hardly go to seed before freezing,
when they will have made sufficient
growth to form some covering for
winter, and will also add little hu-
mus to the soil. Since II is always
best to have a porous soil we have to
rlOw deep, except, perhaps, on sandy
SOli, WHERE tue SuDSoll Is CHt Shnle
Deep plowing in the fall with shall
low plowing the next spring Is very
well on heavy soil, but most farmers
will not do that. There are too many
who think once is enough and they
do that In the easiest way possible
and at any time, but | notice they are
not the ones who make the most mon.
ey ty farming. Usually l would not
burn unless it be to kill the seeds OF
noxious weeds. 1t sometimes happens
that very heavy stubble stands on
a very loose soil, when 1t must be
removed in order to turn the soil over.
IN that case burning will do. but do
not wish the ashes to blow away. We
must remember that every particle re-
moved from the soil is that much
gone. Sometimes special reasons call
for removing the stubble, when each
man must decide for himself.

ON THE FARM
IN THE CELLAR
Rhubarb Can be Successfully
Grown In the Winter Time
In the Dark.

For four years the horticultural de.
partment of the Ohio State university
ut Columbus has been engaged in the
comparatively new industry of forcing
rhubarb in the dark. Under the care
fuj eye Of Professor VIM. II. I,azonhy
1t is now a great success. The well
known garden escu.ent grows Just as
well in darkness as in ligif. I'm fac,
by growing 1t In the dark the quality
is improveds-
Rhubarb is less acid. more brittle,
has better color. and Q delieiously
thin and tender skin when grown un-
der The more favorable conditions here
suggested.
The roots are even more productive
when grown in the dark, since none
of the energy of the plant goes to pro-
duce the expanded portion of the leaf.
The whole strength goes to the sten,
Rhubarb roots are prepared at the
Ohio State university for winter fore
ing as follows:
Plow or dig out the roots at any
time after killing frost, placing
them in single layers on top of the
ground and cover lightly with earth
to keep the roots from drying up.
Leave them in this condition until
the roots have been frozen and then
place them in a dark cellar. or under
Tie benches of greenhouse, where
the light can be shut off.
Pack The roots close together. filling
in the space with good rich soil Tie
crowns should be covered four to six
inches. The soil should be kept moist
but not wet, and a temperature OF
fl ON IS to 65 degrees should be main
tanned The roots can be forced in Il
dark corner of the family celiar as
well as elsewhere From four to five
weeks after the roots are in place a
good cutting can be made. The variety
known as Linnaeus gives the earliest
results, but the best yields are secured
from .of the larger growing va
rieties, like Victoria and Mammoth.

Canton Markets

Poultry markets continue to attract
principal attention with dealers. Of
ferings of 10 cents q pound for live
turkeys do not seem to tempt all
the farmers who have them for sale,
although others are selling at that
figure. Dealers are paying z and
cents for chickens. The retail price
for Thanksgiving has not yet been
fixed.
While the prices of live stock arc
firm. it is at the recent reductions
noted in these columns. At Fast
Liberty cattle bring Sc to $6.25 for
prime extras while tidy to good butch
ers range from $3.50 to $500. Hogs
are from to 10 cents per hundred
lower. selling at from S6 to $6.45, the
latter figure for the very best.
Sheep are dull, but lambs are from
10 to 20 cents higher as the demand is
increasing.
Cabbage is one of the lowest COM
modities in the markets. In Cleye-
land largo consignments do not sell
for enough to pay the freight. In
Canton the very finest can be bought
for cents head.
