Do you know why person who
listens at keyhole is called An
eavesdropper?
About two hundred years ago there
was a certain very powerful secret
society which would allow no out
slider to hear or see what went on at
its meetings. There were some peo-
pie In those days. just as there are
now. who spent much Of their time
in prying into other persons affairs.
and they tried In all sorts OF ways
to discover what this society was
doing They kept on trying until
several Of them were caught and pun
ished. and that put an end to their
proving around and listening at
knot-holes or chinks in the wall; for
when a man was caught at this trick
he was condemned to be suspended
for a short time under the caves OF a
shed while 1t was raining hard, until
the water ran In under his collar and
out at his shoes: and from that day
until this a prying person has been
called an "eavesdropper." st. Mich

The prevailing opinion that root
crops are difficult to harvest, involv-
ing much hard manual labor, has pre-.
vented many from growing them. Mod
ern tools and methods have afforded
much relief in such harvesting oper-
atoms.
Turnips and rutabagas can be top
ped readily with sharp hoe while
still in the ground anu the roots tipped
out with the pillow later. If the tops
from each pair of adjoining rows are
left in the space between, it is an
easy matter to gather and haul them
off the ground for feeding if so de-
sired. To plow turnlps or rutabagas
out select plow with narrow share,
nine inches preferred. remoye the
coulter or jointer and set the draft
over to one side so that the pillow
will cut a V-shaped furrow. Then,
with one man TO drive, second man
can hold the pillow so as 70 trim off the
top roots and overturn the roots with.
out burying them with earth If bur-
led somewhat, narrowing will expose
all the roots. Exposure to the sun
for a few hours or even Slight frost
during the night make the earth drop
readily from the roofs wnen bumped
together Just before being thrown into
the wagon.
Short, thick bodied roots such as the
golden tankard mangod or giant feed
ing beet may be upr0ared by dragging
an inverted harrow both ways across
the rows, after when the tops can
be twisted Of by hand before the beets
are loaded i'm the wagon The eX-
tremely large, long crooked varieties
such as the mausoid Wugzel cannot
be harvested in this way without some
damage from breaking which inter
feres with their keeping qualities
These sorts should he pulled and the
tops twisted Oft by hand.
In the case of a few rows OF car
rots grown for horse feeding, the fol-
lowing method may be followed if a
beet litter is not available: Run a
deep, narrow furrow close along the
row of carrots, exposing their sur
faces; then lift by hand and place in
piles for topping. The same will APP
ply to the harvesting OF sugar Deets
for feeding purposes, but a beet lift
er should be procured if they are
grown TO any great extent.
These remarks are intended to ap-
ply to the average farmers conditions,
where a few roots are grown for
feeding purposes and where the small
areas devoted to this work will not

seasons growths from lateral buds
On this account the pruning Of the
grossels is entirely different from that
of the other small fruits. But little
pruning is necessary the first few
years. After four years of growth,
however, they should be pruned reg
ularly every year. In pruning. all
branches ovre four years of age should
be removed, as these become too old
TO form good, large fruit. At the same
time all branches lying on the ground.
those attacked with borers, broken CT
interlacing branches, should be re-
moved. There are generally too many
new shoots that spring from the roots
each year. These should be removed,
except three or four Of the best and
strongest ones left distributed about
the bush to take the place Of some
old branch that Is to be taken out
soon. An ideal currant or gooseberry
bush should, therefore, be symmetrical,
made up of two or three shoots four
years old branches and possible more
of one or two year shoots, to allow
for an extra number that might lie
broken or diseased. If properly taken
care of, cultivated. pruned and sup
piled with a mulch of manure each
year, sure crop will result.
Among the gooseberries, the Dow n
ing takes the lead, being planted more
extensively in Michigan than all other
varieties put together.
Their are several varieties, but
among currants the London Market is a
very prolific, hardy and desirable var
iety.
