Rhubarb wanted for very early mar
ket can be secured by digging the
roots with the first thaw. Make n
frame or open box four by six feet
and IS inches deep, spread load of
fresh horse manure. on the ground,
cover with earth TO the depth of six
inches and plant the roots. Set the
frame over them and bank to the top
with earth and sawdust or sawdust
all around, cover with boards and
sawGust or other litter. allowing one
or two holes for ventilation, which
should be covered in such a manner
that no light can shine in. In a short
time the rhubarb will grow to the top
of the box and will be a beautiful
pink color. By this method you can
have rhubarb before that in the open
ground has started to come up.

The best ration for the beef herd is
not the best ration for the mich COWS.
Cows about to calve should be fed on
succulent food. such as silage or roots,
bran, oil meal and oats chop. but omit
the corn at this time Feeding grain
of any kind just previous to or imme-
diately after calving is not very good
policy. Keep the bowels in good con-
dition. After calving feed a warm
mosh. and give warm water to drink
for week or ten days. AS soon as
the COW has dropped the calf she
should be watched carefully. and after
she has made its toilet remove the
calf from her stall. but keep it in sight
until the milk comes in the udder.
when the calf should be allowed to
suck.

Chiffon wells may be subjected to
the same process, but they may be
safely put through soap and water
also.
To do this prepare bath OF warm
water and white soap. Lay the veil
in and lift up and down, squeezing
through the hands until quite clean
Then rinse in clear water (warm) (,
adding half teaspoonful Of boraX
to quart of warm water If the veil
is white, and few drops of ammonia
If the veil Is colored.
Then supposing the veil has faded
during the washing the color can bo
restored in the rinsing water.
To dry, the best plan is to pin 1t
on table or bed and not iron, al
though chiffon irons perfectly. 1t is,
however, more like new when not
ironed, and in the case of a dotted
veil pressing of any kind is not ad-
vised The dots will surely show the
impress.
