Forcing Rhubarb in Winter.

A number of inquiries have been re.
ceived asking about the winter forcing of
Hubbard. To give the method in detail
would require much space, but in brief it
is as follows. A shed or aZcellar@that
can be made dark is selected and a bed
a foot deep is made of rather light soil,
many growers using sand. About the
first OF January the roots are dug from the
field and set in the bed indoors close to-
gether and covered with several inches of
sand. Heat of some kind must be, used to
obtain and retain a temperature of about
60 degrees. Liquid manure is used as
soon as the roots are set AMI then the en-
tire bed is thoroughly wet. After this
the entire bed is covered with a layer w
inches thick of coarse stable manure. In
two weeks or Whereabouts the stalks will
begin to shoot up; they will grow eighteen
inches or two feet tall and without any
leaves to speak of, n are then ready for
cutting. The market demand is good near
large cities. but no where elso, SO that one
must be properly located and nave the
proper facilities to make the crop pay.
1t is worth experimenting witt on a small
scale with an idea of extending it il it
turns out well.

Fraudulent Egg Preservers.

~ 1SS SSiSs .
Many papers are printing an interesting
article purport1ng to be written by a
farmers wife in which she tells how she
preserves eggs SO that they can be sold
for high prices when The demand exceeds
the supply. The recipe is offered free and
tells how to mix the ingredients of lime,
water, baking soda, saltpetre and the
mysterious and unknown ..algretta bor-
agile Without the last named ingre-
dent one would simply nave lined eggs
that rarely sell for a price which would
make it profitable to do the work of pre-
serving. The recipe states that .algretta
boracylic" may not be obtainable at the
drug store, in which case it will be sent
on receipt of $3.50 for a four-ounce pack
age. The chances are that the mysterious
article is simply borax, of which four
ounces can be bought for a few cents.
Don't pay money to learn how to preserve
eggs. Several methods ave been given
in this department and others will be
given later. All are reliable and mex
pensive and will give as good results as
can be expected from a preserved egg
which is poor enough at best.

SECOND ROUND IN MISSISSIPPI
Race for the Governorship Is Alb
sorbing All the Attention.

Jackson, Miss, August 2t-{Special =
Six days from today the second battle of
the ballots will be fought In Mississippi.
and unlike the first, it will be fought to
conclusion. In the second. as in the
first. the whole interest is conferred in the
governors race now between James X .
Fardaman and Frank A Critz
The few minor county offices and the
two railroad commissioners that must be
voted for are overShadowed in eVerv
way. In the first primary the sena torial
race absorbed a great deal of attention.
and as that is out of the way, all forces
are centered on the two asprants for the
office of chief executive of Mississippi.

II. d. Money in which he states that he
will support Nardaman, iniects new gin

Never before in the history of MiSsiS-

campaign and never before was the bat

something like two thousand persons who
come under the new vagrant law A
few arrests have been made.
Under the new law all persons who are
professional gamblers and live onlv on
what they win. are Vagrants all per
sons who let their children work and
live on their wages are Migrants; all
persons over Is and under II who are able
10 work, but do not do so. and have no
parents to support them are Migrants;
all persons who have no property and
who do not work are Migrants; all per-
sons living an idle, immoral or pro1gate
life and who have no property to sup
port them are Migrants; men who de-
sert their families are Migrants.
Under this list there are at least two
thousand men and women, it Is said who
can be arrested by the police within a
few days and prosecuted.
i. was thought that as soon as the
new vagrant law was signed by the gov
sation in police circles, but so far the
wholesale arrests expected have not ma
terialized.
1t is probable that the police are going
slow to set the matter worked up on a
systematic basis. and that in a few days
the many who are clearly Migrants will
be arrested and prosecuted.
