VEGETABLES IN A HoTHoUsE
Tomatoes and Lettuce In Greatest De.
mand and Return Good Profit Dur
Ing Extreme Cold Weather.

II is possible for those in fair finan
cial circumstances to have a garden
In the winter, although they may live
in cold countries. An ordinary green.
house and little care can bring this
about. 1t has been tried with good
success. One woman, believing that
garden truck could be grown in a
greenhouse, undertook the task. Her
greenhouse was built 12x1S feet, and
was divided into two compartments
by a glass partition to control the
temperature. Her success is given in
her own words:
I'm one compartment of my green
house l raise tomatoes and string
beans, along with a few roses and
other flowers requiring warm house
The second compartment is almost
exclusively devoted to vegetables. Al.
most every variety of vegetable that
grows in our gardens may be success
fully raised in the hothouse, except
ing green corn. peppers. eggplant and
such tub-tropical plants. When II
comes to money returns tomatoes and
lettuce are in the greatest demand
and during cold weather bring splen
did prices. Tomato plants can be
depended upon to bear from Novem
ber to June. The plants should be
put ON the benches in the greenhouse
in August or the first of September
in rather poor soil, as the blossoms
will set sooner. When the first croI
Is we'll on, manure should be added
and the application continued all win
ter and spring to induce new growth
with fresh blossoms and fruit. Dur
ing the first two months 1t Is neces
sary to fertilize the blossoms by ap
plying the pollen with camePs hail
brush. When the plants are older Il
Is only necessary to jar the vines
every day or SO, and the pollen will
spread sufficiently. l have found the
Freedom, Sutton's Perfection and the
Lorillard the best forcing varieties
When the vines grow too freely
prune them thoroughly. The temper
ature of my tomato house is kept be
tween 60 and 10 degrees"

SHEEP RATION IS IMPORTANT
All Of the Various Farm Grains Have
Been Used With More or Less Sue
cess-Corn as Fattener.

The question for ration for sheep is
farm grains have been used with more
or less success. Corn easily heads
the list as the best single grain for
fattening lambs. 1t is especially de-
sirable because it causes the lambs to
put on fat rapidly and does not stim-
ulate too much growth as in the case
with many forms of concentrated
feeds. Barley has also been used to
very good advantage. 1t Is about on
a par with corn from the standpoint
of rapidity and economy of gains, but
lacks same in palatability. Wheat and
wheat screenings have both been used
to fatten lambs. This feed has too
much tendency to cause the lambs to
grow rather than fatten. When COM
bined with an equal amount of corn
the lambs put on fat much more rap
idly. Oats is useful feed, but like
wheat Is more liable to induce growth
than fattening. 1t should be mixed
with corn for best results. Oilmeal,
cottonseed meal and gluten feed have
all been used in conjunction with corn
rations to good advantage. Not more
than one-half pound of either oilmeal
or cottonseed meal should be fed a
lamb weighing from fifty to ninety
pounds. While wheat bran in itself is
not helpful in putting on fat, 1t is one
of the best feeding stuffs available to
use in conjunction with corn or other
feeds in getting lambs on full feed.
1t furnishes bulk. thus prevents the
greedy ones from getting too much
concentrates and also acts as a regu.
lator Of the digestive system.

Bitter ChurnInp.

I usually churn three times week.
Not long since the milk, after stand
ing "a hours, would become very bit
ter before souring. The butter was so
bad that 1t could not be used. We
commenced feeding the cow potatoes.
The milk and butter are now free
from the bitter taste, says a writer in
an exchange. The utensils have al
ways been kept clean. now put in
a tablespoonful Of lime water in four
or FIVE quarts Of cream. The cream
ripens as 1t should and the butter is
sweet. No milk is allowed to stand
"a hours before skimming.

orIaIn Of Common Names.

Kings in the earliest days were
merely fathers of families" and the
word Is derived from the same source
as kin" Queen at first meant wife"

Caesar" A dandelion is or once was

His Manly Protest.

A tender-hearted youth was once
present at an Oxford supper, where
the fathers of those assembled were
being roundly abused for their parsi-
mony in supplying the demands OF
their sons. At last, after having long
kept silence, he lifted up his voice in
mild protest. after all, gentlemen"
he said, "let us remember that they
are our fellow-crnatnres"

They are in an oval shape, about three

One So,ace Lett.

The president of an eastern college
Is authority for the statement that the
average salary of college professors
throughout this country is less than
the average wages of the drivers Of
ice wagons. 1t is to be hoped that the
privilege of mentioning ones compen-
sation as salary" instead Of wages"
is adequate solace to the pedagogio
mind.

Truth In Old SayInu,

There is an old as the hills saying
that men who cannot manage their
own finances are exactly the ones to

because 1t is too true is the reason
why 1t is an old saying. irrespective
as to what Dun or Bradstreet may say
to the contrary.

Courage and Duty.

duty is almost the hardest task man

that. 1t is to be brave and glad, and
