Transplantinq Asparagus.

Some growers prefer lifting aspara-
gus plants in the fall, choosing only
the strongest for planting in the per-
manent plantation. If the ground is
prepared early in the spring, the
plants need not be lifted until plant
ing begins, but the safer course is to
take the plants up in the fall and
store them in cool, moist cellar or
pit. Experiments at the Pennsylvania
state college indicate that too much
care cannot be exercised in the selec-
ton and planting of asparagus roots.
This is one of the main arguments
for growing ones own plants. If they
are purchased at about 81 a thou
sand, it is not likely that many will
be discarded, while If grown at home
and there is surplus of several thou
sand the grower does not hesitate to
select the strongest. IL is important
that thinning be practiced in the nur-
sery with a view TO growing the best
plants. This should be done when the
plants are about two inches high. They
should be thinned to one or two
inches apart.

GUARD YOUNG
FRUIT TREES
IfMuIched and Not Properly Pro-
tected Much Damage WiII Have
Been Done BY Mice-Best Ma
teriaI Is Wire Screening.
CBy w. A. PATRICK.)

If your young trees were mulched
last fall and not properly protected
from mice and rabbits, you will prob
ably be surprised when you visit the
orchard to find that many of them
have been ruined. Mulch is good
thing for the trees, but it is also a
good thing for mice, as it affords
them the best protection during the
winter and they gather in large num-
bers around the foot of the trees and
eat away the bark.
Protection is easy. The best mate
rial is wire screening although some
use tarred paper and veneer from
wood Some orchardists practice
tramping snow around the base of
their trees, but oftentimes this is neg
lected and the trees are injured be-
fore the work is accomplished. The
protectors should be pressed into the
ground deep enough to prevent the
mice from crawling under. Person
ally | prefer wire screening, but in
case tarred paper is used it should be
promptly removed in the spring to
prevent injury from scalding.

To show that water and whatever
substances IL holds in solution circu-
late TO all parts of the plant, fill
tumbler about one-third full of luke
warm water colored with few drops
of red ink or some other brilliant
coloring matter, and place in colored
water the freshly cut stems Of white
carnations, white roses, lilies of the
valley, or other white flowers, or the
twigs of trees with young leaves on,
or almost any soft green plant Be
sure that they are fresh. In a short
time the colored water will rise
through the stems or twigs and may
be seen distributed in vein-like pat
tern through the petals of the flowers
or through the leaves. Hold the
leaves up to the light and the col

plant carries food in solution which

To show that plants absorb mois-
ture from the soil, take two one-quart
tin cans as near alike as you can get
for drainage. Secure enough garden
soil to fill both cans, mix IL thorough
ly, end sift 1t to remove pebbles and
clods. Fill both cans level full of
loose soil, which should then be packed
by jarring each can three times on
the table or floor. 1t is important to
have the soil packed alike in both
cans. Weigh the flied cans, and if
one is heavier than the other, take
out enough soil to bring them to the
same weight. Plant five or six kernels
OF corn in one can, water both cans
alike, and set them aside for the corn
to grow. Whenever water is applied
to the can containing corn, an equal
amount should be applied to the
other can in order to keep both soils
in about the same physical condition.
When the corn is three or four inch
es high, wet both soils thoroughly, al
low the cans to stand until water
ceases to drip from the bottom, weigh
them. and record their weights sepa-
rately. Set both cans in a warm light
place where the corn will continue to
grow rapidly. Weigh the cans twice
on the following day-morning and
afternoon-and record the weights.
keep this up for three or four days,
or until the corn begins to suffer from
lack of moisture. Water again and
continue as before. You will probably
find that the can containing the grow
ing plants loses moisture much more
rapidly than the other.
This experiment may be performed
In another way by using flower pots
instead Of tin cans. When the corn is
three or four inches high, get two lard
pals or cans just large enough to
take in the pots to their rims. Mark
on the outside of the pals the depth
to which the pots will extend on the
inside, and at a point one inch above
each mark made a dent which can
be distinctly seen on he inside of
the pail. Now fill each pail with
thoroughly, and set them in the pals
as shown in the figure. Set both
pals and pots in warm, light place
so that the corn will continue to grow
The next day remove the pots, and
you will find that the water is not up
to the dents, you will conclude, and
naturally, that the soil has taken up

My scalp itched terribly at times and

the outset, and continued to keep up
this treatment. To think that only
three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one

ment rid my head of this annoying

In order to show that plants give

pot, piece of cardboard, and a glass
tumbler large enough to cover the
plant, cut a slit in the cardboard and
draw it around the plant, seal the
slit with pitch, wax, or tallow so that
no moisture can come up through it

lily inside the glass, cool the glass by
exposing 1t to current of cold air or
by wrapping it for a minute or two
in a cloth wrung out of cold water.
The outside Of the glass should then
be dried SO the moisture on the out
side will not obscure that within.
That water absorbed by the roots
of plants is forced upward through

severing the stem of a geranium three
or four inches from the surface of the

Sioux Falls, s. D.-Two Strike. the
head chief of the Rosebud Sioux In
dians, was so named on account OF
killing two Pawnee braves at once
some time in his early youth. he

of age. and until the last four or hve
years has enjoyed the very best OF
health, but now old age has begun 10
show, and the old time warrior and
chief is getting very weak and feeble,
but he still insists on getting out in
his buggy and driving his little team
of ponies. He is greatly feared by all
of his people and still rules his tribe
with an iron hand, as he still believes
1t is right to kill any of his people
that dare to disobey his commands,
and 1t is thought that If he dares he
would exercise his right when any or
his people displeased him.
He has always been what is known
as bad Indian, and never was friend
ly with the whites, and he hates them
all now as much as he ever did. When
ever he is interviewed he is surly
and seems to hold himself aloof from
the hated whites and acts as X he
is lowering himself to even talk with
them.
He has been head chief Of the Rose
bud Sioux since 1880, at which time he
succeeded Chief Spotted Tail, who had
been killed by Grow Dog in a fight,
which was caused by an old family
feud Of long standing.

time, and was one of the head lead

Wounded Knee, where he was captur-

Sheridan as government prisoner,
where he was confined until the spring
of 1892, when Buffalo Bill got permis-
sion from the government to take him
with his Wild West show for period of
two years, after which the government
allowed him to be turned loose to live
the rest of his days among his own
people, but instead of feeling grateful
to the government for turning him
loose, he has done all in his power to
keep the Indians hostile to the whites,
bucking all the movements of the gov
ernment in sending the Indian chill
dren away to school and consequently
has caused the government no end of
trouble, for 1t is a tribal custom for
