Doc with Ice Appetite.

There is little brindle bull terrier
not more than three blocks from the
Post building which has developed An
unyonted appetite for ice. Each morn
ing as the wagon with the congealed
fluid arrives Pansy may be seen at the
door in an attitude of expectancy. Di-
rectly that the small chunks begin to
fall Pansy gets busy chewing ice and
keeps the game up until the wagon
rolls away.
The driver said the other morning:
That's the only dog ever ran across
with a thirst fop ice. They tell me it
doesn't drink, so I'm inclined to be-
lieve it's a real Eskimo strayed from
home. The owner tells me that one
morning lately, when I was held up
and didn't get here on time, that
darned dog howled two solid hours for

THE ASPARAGUS BED
BY Ola Larson, Foreman Central
Experiment Farm, Utah.

The most excellent early vegetable
should be in every garden. One year
old plants should be planted in rows
four or five feet apart and Is to 20
inches apart in the row. Great care
should be taken to get them planted
right, for after bed is we'll started
and properly taken care of it will last
almost indefinitely. In planting small
beds dig holes for each p]ant.16 or IS
inches square and Is inches deep; put
in about eight inches of wellrotten
compost; then about three or four
inches of soil, leaving the bottom of
the hole a little higher in the center
than at the edges. After the roots of
the plant have been trimmed to three
or four inches, place the crown of the
plant on the high place; spread the
roots all around; then cover with
about three inches of soil. Press the
soil firmly and leave until the plant
has commenced to grow, then fill the
hole up with SOIL. Early spring is the
best time for planting. Rows should
be run north and south. A shaded To-
cation is not desirable as the plants
need all the sunshine they can get. In
planting large beds, plowing a furrow
is better than digging holes. In the
fall of the year. the tops should be cut
off and burned, and the bed should
be given heavy covering of we'll
rotted manure. This should be dug
into the ground in the spring. taking
care not to disturb the plants. .Aspa-
ragus may be cut the third season
after planting. After July 1 cutting
should stop and the beds allowed to
rest until next season. In cutting,
care must be taken not to cut the
young sprouts that are not out of the
ground. The English method is to
leave it until the sprouts are six or
eight inches out of the ground and
>urning green. The French and Ger
Dan method is to bank up the beds

Prof. Bells Idea.

Prof. Alexander Graham Bell Of
telephone fame the other day was IN
Washington, where, as he strolled
along Pennsylvania avenue, his snow
white hair and beard, ruddy face and
easy carriage attracted much atten-
ton. A newspaper correspondent,
long known to the professor, joined
him and in the course of their chat
asked Mr.. Bells opinion of newspaper
men. you know, professor" said
the correspondent, but, for US you

WEAR SMART. SHOES
SHORT SKIRTS HAS FORCED I'M.
PROVEMENT IN FOOT WEAR.
Despite the Example Of Paris, the
Vogue Of the Short Skirt Con-
tines to Grow in This Country.

1.-The shoe business has undergone
a wonderful revolution in the last few
seasons remarked the affable sales
one day, and we attribute it solely to
the short skirts which women-Amer-
1can WOmen-ale now wearing.
You see, madam" continued this
communicative person, with these
short skirts, women must of neces-
slty wear good shoes, and not only
good but smart shoes. The old long
skirt was menace not only to health
and cleanliness but the shoe business
as we'll. Women bought one pair of
street shoes in those days where they
now buy three and four Why
shouldn't we advocate the short
skirt?''
And from the present indications it
looks as though the vainest hopes of
the shoeman were to be fully real
jZed.
Paris continues to wear long skirts,
as doubtless she ever will. The Paris
1enne does not take to the short-skirt-
ed costume, knowing that it does not
become her as it does the American
woman, who for once has failed to
emulate these promoters of the worlds

Is it because we like the comforts

course, we appreciate it's comforts,

FUMIGAT0R FOR SMALL 4 ....
TREES IN THE NURSERY
Apparatus Simple; States
Agricultural Department Ekpert.#M

Fumigation with hydrocyanic-acid
gas has been recognized for some
time as one Of the most effective
means of dealing with San Jose scale
and other scale insects. This method
of treatment has been applied to
nursery stock as well as to trees
standing in orchards. The labor nec-
essary for manipulating a tent or box
covering for trees in orchards is un-
der any. circumstances considerable,
and this gives Importance to the prob
lem of devising cheap, easily man
aged and effective covering for fumi-
eating trees. The frame of the fumi-
gator illustrated herewith is construct
ed of pine strips three inches wide
and seven-eighths inch in thickness,
the strips being braced on three sides
by double cross-pieces midway be-
tween top and bottom and short
braces at angles. The base has but
three sides, the fourth side being
omitted so as to avoid the necessity of
lifting the fumigator over the top of
the tree. In order to strengthen the
base, two trips extend from the back
strip of the base to the front end of
the side strips. Two stouter strips are
bolted onto the sides at convenient
height for carrying the fumigator The
fourth side is separate from the rest
OF the fumigator, is made of the same
material, and fits tightly in place
against the two-inch flange on the
face of the box
The frame is covered with any gas

RULE THAT WORKS WELL.
Prompt Service Pleases the Makers
of Appropriations.

"They have a standing rule, in the
office of the adjutant general of the
army remarked a high government
official the other day, that might be
adopted with profit by other bureaus
of the government. The rule is that
every communication received from
a member of congress must be ac-
knowledged the day of it's receipt.
That means not only that an answer
shall be prepared, but also that it shall
be actually delivered the same day.
Messengers are employed for delivery
purposes instead of the mails. This
plan is followed during the sessions
of congress, and also during the re-
cesses in the cases of congressman
still in Washington Congressman are
naturally pleased with this prompt
service, and show their appreciation
when the appropriations for the adju>
tant generals Office are under consid-
Grafton. Consequently, the adjutant
general gets all the clerks and mes
sengers he asks for, and is able tc
carry his system of rapid correspond
ence into successful execution. If 9th,
er bureaus of the government treated
the men who make the annual appro-
priations with the same consideration
they might in turn receive more lib
eral gifts from the national legisla,
ture. I regret to say that he cannot
do it in our bureau, for the simple rea-
son that We have not the employees to
put on that special work"

Not a Lazy Mans 8usiness.-The

his head that poultry raising is lazy

CARE OF THE
DAIRY BARN
BY Ed. HI. Webster, ". S. Department
of Agriculture.


The barn and it's care have an i'm
portant influence in the production of
pure milk. AS it is impossible to Sc
cure this in a dirty, dark barn, reeking
with odors of manure, it's construc-
tion must be taken into account. Plen-
ty of air space must be provided in Or
der to insure pure air, from 900 to
1000 cubic feet being needed for each
animal. An abundance of window
space must be provided. Enough light
should enter to enable one to read a
newspaper in the darkest places. The
ventilation should be such that the
air is changed every few minutes.
Anyone contemplating new barn
or the reconstruction of an old barn
to conform with the ideas here men
toned should secure some good treat
Use on barn construction and ven
tilation. It is evident to any OBJ
server that one of the difficult
ties in securing good milk is the dark,
poorly ventilated and constructed
barns, containing rotten wooden floors
that cannot be cleaned. Concrete is
the best material for floors. It is
economical and can easily be kept
clean. If wood is used in floor con-
struction, it should be closely laid in
pitch and kept in perfect repair. The
interior of the barn should be kept
we'll covered with whitewash, which
acts as purifier and makes the
rooms much lighter.
AS a usual thing bank barns are
not good dairy barns. unless the stalls
are placed on the floors entirely above
ground and the basement is used for
storage of implements or purposes OF
a similar nature. A basement as or.
dinarily constructed is dark and damp
and has low ceilings. It is difficult
to ventilate and entirely unfit for
housing animals. The drainage of the
yards around the barns is very impor
tant Yards must be dry and firm
An accumulation of manure in the
yards is every Objectionable. The
dairyman who compels his cows tc
wade knee-deep in manure before
they can get into the barn, can never
expect to secure good milk All
dairy barns should be light and airy
admitting lots of sunshine when need
ed, and be kept in good sanitary con
dition. -: .s -,
