GROWING THE LOCUST TREES
Soon as Plants Break Through Grounc
They Should Be Given Same crI-
tivation as Crop of Corn.

By b. o. LONGYEAR. Colorado Agri-
cultural College)
Any person who can secure seed OF
black or honey locust can readily
grow his own trees of these two spe-
even eight or ten years. will grow
almost as readily as those that have
been gathered but one year. In either
case the seeds are so hard that II
planted dry, as one would peas or
beans, many of them will fail to ger
inmate and all of them will be very
slow. They should first be treated
with hot water. Place about one-half
pound Of seed in any can or jar that
Will hold about one gallon and that
will not be broken by hot water. Pour
about two or three quarts OF boiling
water upon the seeds, cover, and al
low to stand over night. When the
water is poured off. it will be found
that many of the seeds have doubled
In size and become softened. These
should be taken out and may be
planted Immediately, while those that
remain hard should be treated in the
same manner until all of them have
swollen.
Plant in good garden soil, in rows
about three feet apart, planting the
seed about one inch apart, in the case
of the black locust and three inches
apart for the honey locust Cover the
former two-thirds of an inch and the
latter one inch deep and firm the soil
upon them. AS soon as the plants
break through the ground they should
be given the same cultivation and irri-
| cation as a crop Of corn. The young
trees Will probably need thinning, so
as to make them about four inches to
five inches apart in the row. This
will give much stronger seedlings
than TO allow them to grow much
thicker
At the end of the growing season
1t Is best to dig the younger trees
just before the ground freezes and
bury them in we'll drained situation
covering with at least six inches OF
soil. first tying them into bundles Of
rs TO so trees each. They should be
dug the following spring. in the latter
part Of March or the first of April
and planted in permanent quarters.

FATE AND THE FLETCHERS
Intervention That Made 1t Certain
Hour for Senator's Death Had
Not Struck.

Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Flor
ida sought his berth one night on a
sleeping car on the way south from
Washington. Pulling back the cur
tains of a lower nine, he saw that his
bed was already occupied.
Hi, there" called the senator,
shaking the stranger by the shoulder
The sleeper awoke and protested
angrily.
MY names Fletcher" explained
the statesman, land this is my berth"
You've got nothing on me-" an
swered the other my names Fetch
er, and this is my berth"
MY full name is Duncan U. Fetch
err" the senator elaborated.
SOS mine," agreed the intruder
"Ah, l see,' said the senator, po-
litely There must have been a mis-
take in reserving the same berth for
two men of the same name. I'll go
into the next sleeping car
The stranger, by this time, was fully
awake, and proceeded to apologize,
and TO offer to give up the berth. This
the senator would not do, but went
into the car ahead, and found place
TO sleep.
An hour later the train was wreck
ed. The car in which the stranger
occupied the lower nine fell through
a trestle, and that Fletcher was
killed. The senator's car was not
damaged at all.-Popular Magazine.

The amount OF feed fed for lambs
will vary some in accordance with the
kind of roughage and also as to wheth-
err or not succulent feed is used. AS
general rule lambs weighing from 60
pounds to 80 pounds each will eat
from s. to 2 pounds of grain and from
z to 2 pounds OF hay per day. Where
silage or roots are fed the amount of
hay will be somewhat less. but the
total dry matter somewhat more, due
to the increased palatability of the ra-
ton. Lambs of the above weights
will gain from rs to so pounds each
per day. From .33 to A pounds per
day should be considered as very sat
isfactory gains.

To Help With Fireless Cooker.

Many people do not seem to realize,
in using fireless cooker, that all
sorts of utensils besides the ones COM
ing with the cooker may be used with
the heat radiators. For rice or Indian
pudding, or scalloped potatoes, for in
stance. prepare the mixture in an
earthenware or fireproof china baking
dish. which may go direct to the ia
BILE. Heat the radiator over a strong
fire or gas flame until it is thorough
ly hot. Then place it in the cooker
and carefully lower the baking dish
down on it. If the food is of a nature
to require a very hot fire. a second
radiator can be placed over it on the
rack. In this case 1t will be done in
two or three hours with a good firm
and slightly brown crust.-Good

pork. veal or what not. add and chop
into this any cold fried or boiled eggs
which have been left over When the
whole is chopped fine and thoroughly
mixed. add one or two beaten eggs.

SEEDING OF ALFALFA
Several Factors in Production OF
Irrigated Crop.
No Fixed Rules Can Be Applied to
Meet Various Conditions and Great
Deal Depends on Judgment
of the lrrigator.

The kinds OF SOIL the kinds of
crops, the time of planting, the amount
OF rainfall. the supply OF water and the
temperature are all factors in the
production OF irrigated crops. No fixed
rules can be applied to meet all these
conditions and much depends upon
the intelligence and judgment OF the
irrigator. Combining myself to the
preparation OF new lands and the
planting of the first crop of alfalfa,
may be able to give some pointers
tkst might be of benefit to beginners,
writes NJ. V. Cochran in the Northwest
Pacific Farmer.
The first and most important work
is to level the land. No slipshod work
will do. 1t must not be left until the
water can be gently run over every
point. If the surface is not suffi Gent
ly pulverized. put the spike-tooth har-
row on and set the teeth slanting, so
that the cultivation will be super
fetal. This being done. the next step
is to get ready for the seed and wa
ter II the water is to be taken from
in place; If from a flume, which is
best. the holes must be made and the
stops in place.
About the 10th of April is usually
the safest time to SOW at attitudes OF
mile or so. Use 20 pounds OF or
binary alfalfa seed to the acre and II
nurse crop is desired 60 pounds OF
bcardless barley can be put in, but the
modern practice is to SOW the alfalfa
straight and forget the grain. The
seed may be sown either by hand OF
by wheelbarrow sower. Now put or
the harrow again and go over 1t unit
all the seeds are nicely covered W
and .hen go over with the corrugatine
roller the same way on the grade
that the water is to run so that The
field may be sub-irrigated. II CORFU

ON COOKS DAY OUT
THEN THE TIME FOR SIMPLE,
COSY MEAL
innumerabIe Dainty Dishes That May
Be Served-Chicken Salad a Good
Substitute for the Usual
Hot Course.

In small households the cooks day
out frequently represents all that is
coolest and most enjoyable in the
way OF little dinner or supper. 1t is
looked to by the house mother as
time for testing any new dainties of
which she has heard without inter
fering with the cooks domestic sway,
says the New York Times.
A quick and easy vegetable"
course for such meal is Welsh rare
bit, with spaghetti. for which the
paste is boiled as usual in sailed wa
ter until tender. then drained and
stirred into thin, smooth paste. To
make the "rarebit," CRATE the cheese
or cut or crumble 1t in small pieces
into the cold milk, which heat slowly
until the cheese has melted. Stir
together and serve at once.
This dish can be prepared with a
remnant of macaroni or spaghetti on
the chatting dish.
For a quick roast, instead of a leg
of lamb buy the rack with chops. and
cook it under the gas broiler. A rack
of from two pounds up can be broiled
In an hour or less.
Hamburg steaks, a good choice for
such occasions, can also be delicate
ly broiled under the gas flame in
stead of cooked in the pan, and to
many the flavor is greatly improved
thereby. Onion juice is much better
than the usual chopped onion for
these steaks. 1t comes put up in
bottles, or the onions may be minced
in the meat chopper and tablespoon
full or two pressed out.
Another substantial offering for the
menu is ham patties made of about
two kitchen cups of cold cooked ham
minced fine and stirred into four cups
of bread crumbs, the latter moist
ened with milk. To this add a large
lump of butter and any seasonings
liked. Pour the butter into gem pans,
filling about two-thirds only. Now
break an egg over each little sec.
ton. sprinkle over more of the bread
crumbs. and bake until brown.
Frequently at such times the house
keeper will substitute cold dish
which can be prepared we'll in ad
vance, Tor the hot roast or broiled
meat. A hearty course of this kind
is chicken salad served in a ring Of
ham jelly.
Serve this on a bed of crisp wa
tercress. having the salad heaped VI
in the center of the jelly ring, which
is made in this way: Whip stiff s
kitchen cup of thick double" cream
and into this stir a cup of strong as
pic jelly. Cool it. and before it IL
quite set add a small quantity O
potted very finely minced cooked
ham. Combine all three Ingredient
with the egg whip, color pink will
any pure coloring extract or tomato
juice and pack in the mold. 1t will
require about two hours to set thor
oughly.
A dainty bite for the entree or des
sert is rice fritters prepared by thi
formula: Three-quarters of a pint o
cold cooked rice, one Tablespoonful
of sugar, yolks of two eggs, cup O
milk and -four enough to make tn
usual thick drop batter. Ado a tea
spoonful of baking powder, mike,
