WHAT ONE CITY MAN DID.

Chicago papers of Il recent date tell
of the success of Il city man, with a
"back to the land laundering. in rails
ing sugar beetS during the past sea-
son. He held city position. but
thought he would give agriculture Il
trial. Accordingly he rented a forty
acre farm some thirty miles out and
made his home there. going in to his
work. He saw to the proper prepara-
ton Of the ground and had the en-
tire area sowed to sugar beets. He
did no manual labor, but only planned
and superintendent the work. He has
recently sold the beet crop for $1,000
His expenses were $1,000, leaving him
S1.6OO net for his trouble. Not every
man could do this. it will be admitted,
for there was necessary. first, the
ability to appreciate the opportunity
and, secondly. determination and en-
ergy to carry the plan into execution.
But Notwithstanding this the incident
shows that opportunities for getting
ahead are long way from exhausted.

Bees winter better if they are given

There are beekeepers all<Over the
United. States who. with favorable
locality and good management are

Beekeepers frequently find it nee
essary to feed few colonies during
the cold months in order to save them
from starvation. As rule, the bee
keeper who extracts honey too late in
the summer finds it necessary to sup

to ward off heavy loss.

poor places for honey.

spring at planting time he dug a

loose earth were scattered over the
bottom. On top of this the pieces OF
seed were planted six inches apart.
and on top of the seed potatoes the
mellow earth was shOveled. The

An acre at the same rate would yield

way next spring.

Orchard and Garden.

Every time you set your feet on a

limb. 1t wouldn't take half so long
to mend broken round on the ladder
as 1t would to mend a broken bone.
A well known f1oriculturist says that

In planning the size of the structure
it is safe to estimate one bushel at one
and one-quarter cubic feet. In small
cellar built with driveway this space
need not be wasted. but stored with
potatoes or other vegetables after the
bins at the side have been filed. One
important point in the storage of po-
tatoes is to reduce TIE temperature to
as low point as possible directly after
the product is stored. Put about one
foot of potatoes on the cellar floor. and
by the time the entire floor is covered
to that depth the heat from those po-
tatoes is pretty we'll carried off by the
air currents. Then add another layer
thus properly regulating the tempera-
ture as the storage progresses. When
the cellar is filed the potatoes are
piled about FIVE feet deep.
Sorting potatoes that have started to
rot from freezing or disease requires
a cellar that can be lighted when de-
sired. Ventilation devices, such as
open partitions. may be used to adj
vantage when large quantities Of pO-
tatoes are stored in bulk. Sacked pO-
tatoes, corded in piles. keep well in q
good cellar. When sprouts start in the

tween the dirt and ,he potatoes to
prevent rot. 1t is important that po-
tatoes be free from dirt when taken
from the field to the cellar. Dirty pO-
tatnes do not keep well because of the
dirt that falls off and fills up the air
spaces between the potatoes. thus pre-
venting free ventilation. A very sat

TREE SURGERY.

There are one or two points connect
ed with removing large limbs from
shade trees that the novice at the job
would do well to remember. The first
is that the limb should be sawed one
third trough from the underside and
Il foot or two from the tree. Next a
cut should be made with the saw on
the upper side of the limb and foot
or so farther from the trunk than the
cut O. e underSide. This should be
continued until the weight of the limb
causes it to fall. Instead of ripping a
strip Of bark off clear down TO the tree.
as is so often the case when the cut
OH the underside of the limb is not
made, this will be prevented by the
undercut Mentioned. A stub will be
left at this stage. and the final cut
should then be made. saving this off
as close to the trunk as possible with
out disturbing the bark and on a line
parallel with the direction of the trunk
The aim should be to leave the cut i'm
such shape that it will heal over in the
shortest possible time To prevent
decay setting in to the trunk from the
cut the latter should be given two Or
three coats Of white lead paint or
smeared over with thin coating Of
grating wax.

Agriculturist The uniformity and
smoothness of the samples show that
great care has been used for a number

eyes are shallow, the shape and size

yield of these potatoes in 1910 was
about 400 bushels per acre. This par

The important points to be conSid-
cred in potato storing are as follows:
First, the temperature should be kept
as low as possible without freezing;
second, the air should be kept as dry
as possible; third. the potatoes should
be kept dark.

To Clean Hair Ribbons.

Wide ribbons that are worn by
school girls cost quite a sum in
the year and mothers may be
glad to know how to wash them
without spelling. Put three
tablepoonfuls of honey and three
oupces of soft soap into a cup of
half gin. half water, spread the
ribbons on a board and with a
nailbrush scrub them with the
mixture; do not rub or squeeze
them, but rinse by dipping up
and down in clear wster several
times; then hang them over a
line to drip and iron between
clean cloth by holding an iron
perfectly still and drawing the
ribbons from under it; this pre-
vents the usual stcingy, shiny
appearance from ironing the US.
ual way. For white ribbons use
warm water and a white soap;
rinse in three clear waters, tepid
and a little bluing in the last;
hang in the sun until partly dried
and press between clean muslin
with a warm, not hot iron.
Flowerd ribbons will not fade
if washed quickly and not allow
ed to hang long enough to run
the colors into each other. But
fowerd ribbons are rarely liked
by school girls; only the plain
colors.

Revenue Agents.

The legislature ought to repeal
the rowing commissions to state
revenue agents. Every county
should have its own revenue
agents with authority to uncover
hidden wealth only in his own
county. He would thus have a
responsibility to his bone people
and any persecution upon his
part would be properly resented.
as would be fragrant neglect of
duty. Why should not these
duties devolve upon the county
attorney, who in addition to his
other fees could afford to under
take this work for a smaller con :
mission than is at present paid
revenue agents? There is I'M
doubtedly much resentment in
the state over the methods of
the Present reve nue. agents, but
the system of digging for con-
cealed wealth for taxation can
not be abandoned.
