Keeping Vegetables for Winter.

Keeping Vegetables for Winter
To enjoy wholesome and palataole
vegetables during the winter months
proper care is essential in gathering ana
storing. A good plan Of storing is great
" needed. Sink a barrel, box or cask
two-thirds its depth into the ground
heap the earth around the projecting
part with a slope on all sides, place the
vegetables in, cover the top water
tight, and when winter comes throw an
arm load OF straw over them. II the

better. Vegetables will keep In TINS

Keeping Tomatoes In Lime.

A Missourian reports having tried
the method of keeping tomatoes in
lime, with varying success. Each to-
mato was wrapped in paper and placed
in shallow boxes-one layer between
two layers of lime to each box. The
tomatoes kept best thus stored In a
loft where the temperature was about
40 degrees. The tomatoes should be
gathered in October and be dry wnen
packed. A small green one will keep
as we'll as any, but is liable to be
wilted when it ripens. Our friend says
he has kept tomatoes in this way I'M
til March and April. He prefers a
green tomato gathered just before 1t
commences to turn. Any tough,
smooth-skin tomato will keep II
handled carefully, wrapped in paper
and packed in lime or ashes. Inc
ashes seem to do fully as we'll as lime.

willows for Windbreaks.

In telling how to expeditiously plant
willows for windbreaks, writer says:
Take poles of the willow OF any length
that may be desired. Bury these in the
ground some six inches below the sur
face. This can be done by laying them
in the bottom of a furrow plowed out
to the depth desired. Before laying
them thus, cut notch in the pole
wherever a tree is wanted. Let the
poles lap little at the ends. When put
in place the earth should be put PACK
in place again, and if firmed somewhat
so much the better. In a short time
the shoots will appear above the surface
of the ground. Cultivation should be
given along the sides of these for q
couple of years, thus forming dust
blanket, which will help to keep in the
moisture and which will also keep
down tho weeds. "-Shaw's Farmer.

seedless Fruit Production

The experts in the fruit department

TALK ABOUT GINSENG.
Proper Time to Set II Either in Sep
TENDER or October or i'm Feb
uary or March.

Young ginseng is very tender, but
with age it becomes more hardy and
with a little care and knowledge of its
habits may be transplanted with
safety. 1t should be set in the fall;
September or October are considered
the best months. 1t can also be set in
the spring with good results during
February and March. Some prefer
growing it in a thicket or the edge of
woods, but / think it is much better
to grow it out in the open field and
provide an artificial shade. 1t cannot
stand the direct rays of the sun, and
will not grow unless shaded. A very
convenient shade is made by setting
nine-foot posts 212 feet deep in the
top of posts and then cover with
brush.
The soil should be rich and loose to
insure rapid growth. The plot of
ground should be north or northeast;
the latter being the most preferable.
1t will not grow to advantage on south
or west land. I have hunted the woods
in this section but never found a wild
plant growing in land with that ex-
posture. To insire good drainage,
choose plot Of ground that is little
rolling, and then dig ditch around it
from IL to 16 inches deep and about
the same in width. This will carry of
the water and make a sure protection
against moles. Beds for planting
should be about four feet wide and any
convenient length.
A coat of leaves and leaf mold
is necessary as protection during win
ter. It is estimated that on one acre
100000 plants can be set Ginseng usu-
ally comes up in May and blooms usu-
ally in June and July. BY September
there will be cluster of bright red
berries, each containing one to three
seeds. As soon as the seeds are fully
ripe the top begins to die. The next
years bud forms on the root, but lies
dormant until the coming spring.-El-
mer Clark, in Orange Judd Farmer.

Sensible Orchard Treatment

OeAO1O4c VECAOEO treatment.
In central New York, there is a H.
year-old orchard that has always been
managed on an exceedingly sensible
and profitable plan. The branches are
trained to the spreading habit
which opens the tree to the air and
sun. For about eight years the or
chard was plowed and planted to
crops, which require thorough culti-
walton like corn, beans and potatoes
Then it was seeded down with alfalfa
and inoculated. This developed a verv
thick sod, which is cut three times a
year for hay. This hay is fed to stock,
and then the manure is all hauled back
again and spread around the trees.
Under shis system the orchard has made
. very remarkable growth.

Can Turn Negro White.

Philadelphia, December 19.-Dr.
Henry Is. Pancoast, the university
H-ray specialist and skiographer, dis
covered that the continued use of the
\ rays on colored patients produces a
gradual change in the shade of the
skin, and that in time it becomes en-
tirely white. The discovery was
made while treating colored man for
adisease known as lupus, which had af-
fectcd the patients nose and part Of
the face
1t was found that after the treat
ment had bean continued daily for
over month the skin on the affected
part had become entirely white. In
some way the pigment of the skin had
been destroyed and the change so.
ed to be permanent. AS tho patient
was Of the darkest hue, the contrast
to the other portions of the face, the
color of which had remained unchang-
ed, was decidedly marhcu. Experi-
.ments on other persons seemed to
prove that the same result was pro-
duced and although no such trial was
made it is thought likely that in time
the enti.e skin Of colored person
could be 80 acted upon.
During the summer DR.. Pancoast
continued his researches along this
and other lines. This fall the colored
man returned to the hospital fer Gem
pletion Of the treatment, and it was
decided to make an attempt to restore
the whitened skin to the original con-
dition. Local applications of heal
ing nature and stonics proved of no
benefit and experiment wns then begun
with the different light rays.
1t was decided to use the rays of a
Finsen light, as this would both benc.
fit the disease and also, it was thought,
might restore the original color. At
first tho .change was very slight. Ia
fact, se- = treatments were made be.
fore the,> as any change at all. Then
gradual darkcning of the skin was
noticed, and this has been gradually
increased till now the skin is of dis
tinct browoish tint, and j. is though:
to be only matter Of time till it is re.
stored to the original shade.
just how the rays have accomplish
ed this result is not as yet clear, but
it lie thought it has been done by a

The mule brsys, while the hinpv

this IS 8 mystery until we com, to
apply the knowledge afforded us by
the physiology Of breeding, in which
we deduce from observation and phr-

gives the locomotive, the female the
vital organs of the offspring.
The mule has the muscular struc.

former are those Of it's sire. the ass.
hence it brays. The organs Of voice
OF the latter are those of its sire, the

lem thus solved by the application of
the law, but the law is also strength

we should little expect.
Never till came to note these diff

dream that peculiarity Of voice in an
