GROWING RHUBARB.
A Crop That Pays Well For Very Lit
tie Outlay and Work

A Crop That Pays Well For Very Lit
tie Outlay and Work.
The best crop. counting expense of
growing and amount of land used. is
pieplant. Procure some roots of the
Linnaeus variety that is early tender
and, while growing very large, is less
acid than many other kinds.
Prepare the punches by putting five
or six stalks in a bunch, tying it Sc
curely at the butts of stalks and again
around the leaves just above the
stems; then with sharp knife cut off
a portion of the leaves. leaving about
third of the green leaf on the stalk.
1t will wilt less quickly with part of
the leaf on than with the whole leaf
or where only the stalk has been left.
The rows should be six feet apart
and plants four feet in row, The only
work expended on it is to cultivate two
or three times early in the season and
hoe it once. In the fall the rows are
covered with a mulch of strawy ma
nure.
Pull it late in the day, tie and trim
the leaves, then pack it in sixty quart
berry crates. 1t does not wilt as much
If crowded in tightly.
Rhubarb may be made to yield about
$50 to $40 ain acre per month.

Renewina Eencsposts.

Do not throw away old fenceposts
just because the ends in the ground
have rotted away, You can patch these
out and the posts viii last rs long as
new ones. Take piece of an ordinary
post two feet long and smooth down
one end with an ak so as to fit on to
the end of the post. which should
elewise be smoothed down. Now get
half dozen spikes and nail the piece
to the post. Reverse the pest, leaving
the patched end at the top.

Should Pass "Anti-treat' Law.

If the probitionists would stop
wasting their time in trying to
pass prohibition laws that never
will and never can prohibit and
would turn their efforts toward
securing the passage of an anti
treating" law they would ac-
complish much good and do more
to kill off drunkenness than in
any other way. Prohibition will
never succeed as long as liquor is
manufactured, but a law making
it a serious matter for either
patrons or bartenders to treat
would practically do away with
drunkenness in our land. There
is not one man in twenty who
would go into the saloon and
deliberately drink enough liquor
by himself to become drunk but
let half a dozen get together and
start treating and all are usually
soon beyond the proper use of
their faculties.
First write a stringent "anti-
treating" law on our statutes.
Then let each town limit its
saloons to the number it should
properly have and select good,
honorable men to run them and
the liquor question will be
properly solved.

Alfalfa and Water.

To grow alfalfa we must first of all
provide soil which is dry by nature
or which is undetermined. If we dig
a post hole four feet deep and find wa
ter we may know that alfalfa win not
grow there. There is an old saying
which expresses this, Alfalfa will not
grow with wet feet" Though it seeks
water in a deeper soil and the roots
penetrate very deeply indie ID in an old
field, we must not expect it to grow
where the water rises 10 within four
feet of the surface.

: spraxinn Potato Vines.

The number of sprayings it will be
necessary to give potatoes depends
somewhat upon the season. If rainy
weather prevails it will be necessary
to spray more frequently than if it be
comparatively dry, not only because
the rain will wash the spray material
off the vines, but also because damp
weather is favorable to the develop
ment of the disease. A good general
rule is to begin spraying when the
vines are about six inches high and
spray every ten days or two weeks
throughout the season.-W. ]. Green.

nearly as possible. 1t is the plank
floor that causes soreness and lame

pasture they may be fed on corn

that contains more bone making con.

breaker, both as regards the amount
picked and its value. Oregon is the
greatest hop-growing State in the IN

much as any other two States in COM
bination. The four great hop growers
are Oregon, California, Washington
and New York. The United States sup
plies about fifth of the hops of the
world. The United Kingdom has the
greatest hop crop, with Germany sec
ond and our country third. In spite Of
the enormous quantity of hops grown
in England, the product of our own
fields finds there a good market. We
sold abroad last year something over
100000 pounds of which almost 12.-
100000 went to the United Kingdom,
and, on the other hand, we imported
more than 100000 pounds from vari-
Gus sources.-Boston Herald.

II see no occasion for it," replied NJ.
Bertrand. "He may be fool; but he
doesn't look like a murderer"
But Victor Lablanche still adhered OBJ
stlnately to the opinion that NJ. Chabot
would bear watching. Slipping from the
room he instructed one of his most relia-
BILE secret agents to keep him in sight un-
til further orders. He had said nothing
about his discovery Of the open door. He
would keep that to himself. 1t might
lead perhaps to one Of those grand coups
for which he was so famous.
Another thing the project was dissatis-
fed with. Upon the certificate of the ply
sicians that the Miles. Weldon were pros
trated by the death of their aunt, they
had not been summoned before the tri-
bunal-though later they would probably
be called upon to testify. The project
considered this as ill-timed leniency, but
there was no help for it. The certificate
of so famous a physician as DR.. Paul
Mason had its weight with the judge Of

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, Sept 25.-"Ladies
and gentlemen, step right this way
and see the only trust magnate in
captivity who eats trusts alive"
Alfred o. Crozier Of Wilmington.
Del, has started to conduct Ameri-
can voters through the G. 0. P.
hall of fame and has paused before
General T. Coleman Dupont, the
first exhibit.
Crozier throws the spotlight full
in Dupont's face when he wrote
letter recently to President Roose-
welt calling attention to the fact
that Dupont, his next door neigh
Dor, appointed by Hitchcock as
chairman of the speakers bureau
of the republican national commit
tee, was the principal defendant in
the governments suit against the
so-called powder trust
T. Coleman Dupont is a pretty
important person in the manage
ment of the national campaign. He
is the head of the speakers bureau.
He is the chairman of the Delaware
state central committee. He is
known as the boss of Delaware
since Addicks quit the job. He is
the member of the national COM
mittee from Delaware. He is also
a hard working member of the ma
,ional republican executive COM
-nittee.
General Dupont gets his title
because he is general on the
staff of Governor Lee of Delaware.
Lee is director of the Pennsyl-
yania railroad. Dupont is also a
cousin of Colonel" Henry c. Du-
pont, the only United States SEN
ator who actually has trust
named after him.
Whenever you listen to speaker
sent out by the republican national
committee, you hear one of Du-
points men, He is sent where Du-
pont thinks he ought to do the
most good. He makes arguments
on the lines mapped out by Dupont
1t falls to Dupont to show the pub
lie that the G. o. p. intends to
carry out the trust busting policies
inaugurated by Roosevelt.
But if the charges made by the
government in it's suit against the
powder trust" are true, Dupont
the teacher and preacher of trust
busting policies, is himself the
head of $50,000,000 powder trust
which has the government at its
mercy.
