Majestic

Opening today's matinee another big act will headline the bill at the Majestic theatre, one which Manager Whitfield claims is to be the best and perhaps one Of the most interesting attractions for some time. Willard's Temple of Music is without doubt one of the greatest musical offerings in American vaudeville. Another good act is the offering of the Crackerjack Four. a quartet of unusual merit. and one which will long be re- membered as the exponent of clean, orig inal comedy and harmony.

Use Care in Pruning.

In pruning. according to DR.. j. c.
Written of the University of Nilsson
ri, care should be taken to cut a
branch very close to it's attachment
so the wound will heal over. If a
stub or long knot is left 1t will die
back to the trunk or main limb to
which 1t is attached. Such wound
can not heal. This decaying stub
may carry such diseases as "canker"
down into the body of the tree and
injure it. There is usually a slight
bulge called-th collar. where one
limb joins another. One should cut
lust at the edge of this collar, where
the enlargement begins, when remov-
ing a branch. Dead or diseased limbs
should be promptly cut away. no mat
ter at what time of year they are
observed

Good Things to Know

For taking rust out of white goods
where everything else fails, stew
rhubarb stalks in the usual way, using
plenty of water to make the stew
quite thin. Soak the rust spots on
the white goods in this for three
quarters of an hour, then take out
and rinse in cold water to free it from
the rhubarb, then pour boiling water
over it to take out the purple stain of
the rhubarb. This is simple and in
expensive.
It is recommended to drop into the
boil water slice of peeled lemon, and
the clothes will be beautifully white.
This will not injure or stain the
clothes. Soaking clothes in butter
milk will whiten them and take out
mildew. After the soaking, rinse,
and boil in thin suds.
To prevent stencil work from fad
ing, the dye must be set before wash
ing. This is recommended: After
the border is made, dip clean white
cloths in salt water, place the border
between the white cloths and press
till dry with a hot flatiron.
To remove stain from wood, the
surface must be sand-papered or
scraped until the unstained wood is
reached; or it may be smoothed down
with plane; or, in some cases wash
ing it with alcohol will do.
It is, said that beaten paths are only
for beaten men; there would not be
any paths had not some one "blazed
the trail," and the one who went
ahead is the one that wins. ltrequires
courage and endurance and enthusi-
asm to lay the route through the un-
known country.
The shoulder-seams of shirtwaists
usually have a pulled-down look be-
cause they need raising at the point
of the shoulder in front only, and
more cutting out under the arms.
Cut the neck straight around in front,
not to be lowered there, or a stock
will not fit on it nicely.
Velvet is especially becoming to a
person with a thin, sallow face, or
with face which is losing its early
bloom, as its gives a softened appear
ance to the texture of the skin.-Com-

CU[T|VA7|NG ASPARAGUS.
RI0GED GROUND SECURES EAR.
LIER GROWTH OF PLANTS
IN SPRING.
BY Dr.. J. c. Written, Professor OF
Horticulture, University
of Missouri.

When asparagus has been properly
cultivated all summer. This is to
save the moisture and to make con-
ditions more favorable for growth OF
the sprouts.
AS early in the spring as the ground
can be worked, it should be plowed
between the rows. turning the land
onto the plants and leaving deep fur
rows midway between the rows. This
throws ridge of fine soil over each
row OF asparagus. These ridges may
be full foot or higher than the dead
furrpw between the rows This ridg-
ing secures an earlier growth of the
plants in spring. Ridged ground dries
out, drains and warns up more quick
ly The deep burrows between the
rows will be about as deep as the
crowns of the plants, so the ridges
warm through the sides to the
rows. By ridging, additional sur
plus earth is also exposed to the sun,
so more heat is absorbed. These
ridges dry out quickly and therefore
remain mellow and workable to facil-
itate cutting the asparagus without
pudding the soil. Where ground Is
left entirely level without ridging, 1t
is likely to remain cool, wet, and un-
workable Ridged in this way, the
tips may be cut as soon as the
sprouts show through the ridges
These ridges of mellow soil bleach
the asparagus. If green, rather than
bleached asparagus is desired, it is
better not TO ridge the patch. The
cost of cultivation is much less where
the ridges are maintained along the
rows. They may be turned up with
pillow and cultivated with light
harrow The ridges may be kept
smoother and more symmetrical If
kept dressed up with the garden rake
from time to time. The ridges should
be narrowed or stirred just after the
asparagus has been cut, so the grow
ing sprouts will not be injured below
ground.
Where level cultivation is given, it
is impossible to harrow the patch at
frequent intervals without danger to
the sprouts which are just starting.
This frequent narrowing will kill
most of the weed seeds in the patch,
which will sprout from time to time.
When cutting for the season ceases,
which will be in early June, the
ridges should be worked down, leav-
ing the patch level again. The plants
are then allowed to make their nor
NAL growth throughout the summer,
and should be given good cultivation
to induce the best growth possible.
This summer growth of the plants is
essential so that they may store up
food for the following spring. 1t
should be borne in mind that all
plant food to be stored in the crowns
below must first be manufactured In
the green growing parts above
ground. The ranker and greener the
growth of the tops, the more plant
food they can store up for the follow
ing year.

Many Driven From Home.

Every year, in many parts of the
country, thousands are driven from
their homes by coughs and lung dis
eases. Friends and business are left
behind for other climates, but this is
costly and not always sure. A better
way-the way of multitudes-is to
use DR.. Kings New Discovery and
cure yourself at home. Stay right
there, with your friends, and take
this safe medicine. Throat and lung
troubles find quick relief and health
returns. Its help in coughs, colds,
grip, Group, whooping-cough and
sore lungs make it positive blessing.

TREES DO NOT NEED IRON
DRIVING NAILS IN APPLE TREES
A MISTAKEN IDEA.
BY w. L. Chandler, Department Of
Horticulture, University
of Missouri.

There has long been an idea among
orchardists that by driving nails into
the trunks of apple trees they could
supply iron to the trees and cause
fruiting. The nails often do cause the
trees to bear fruit earlier, or during a
season when they would not other
wise, but it is not because they sup
ply iron.
There is no orchard soil in Mis-
souri,. Driving nails into trees has
amount of iron needed by trees" says
w. L. Chandler OF the Department OF
Horticulture at the University of Mis-
souri,. Driving nails int otrees has
an entirely different effect on the
trees which causes them to come into
bearing.
Sap from the ground goes up
through the tree in the layer OF wood
just around the heart-wood. 1t car
ries certain materials to the leaves,
which are there digested and mixed
with some food materials taken from
the air. Then this food material
which is digested is transported back
to the roots. 1t travels down through
the 'cambium layer which is the soft
growing layer directly underneath the
bark. If this layer is injured or cut,
the food material can not go back to
the roots, so it is crowded out into
the buds and forces them to bear
fruit"
If the cambium layer is seriously in
jured, as in complete girdling, the
trees die. This accounts for the old
methods of deadening forest trees
Much better than driving nails,
however, is careful cutting IN this
cambium layer. This is delicate op-
Grafton, and at best is a dangerous
one. In the hands Of an expert it Is
a means of forcing tree into bear
ing when it would not bear otherwise.
Varieties which naturally bear late IN
life may be made to bear earlier by
this means. Doctor Written, head OF
the Department Of Horticulture at the
University of Missouri, tells OF caus-
ing a two-year.old pear tree to bear
several large pears while 1t was still
only a switch. This was done by ty'
ing a wire around it near the ground.
While this operation ntrees is al
ways dangerous, one Of the best ways.
If it is to be done at all, Is to make
a spiral cut around the trunk so that
It does not completely cut of the
circulation, but merely Injuries 1t tenn
porarily. A dull knife is better for
this, or a sickle, as sharp cut would
grow together too soon.

COWS SHOULD CALVE IN FALL
Dairy Department, University OF Mis-
sourl, Gives Several Reasons.

A number of reasons are given for
the practice of most dairymen Of hav.
ing cows calve in the fall instead of
in the spring. The Dairy Department
of the University of Missouri recon-
ments this as the best practice in
most cases, for some of the following
reasons:
prices for milk and butter fat are
highest in the winter, and it is desir-
able that the cow be fresh to give the
maximum flow. When she begins to
decline in the spring, the fresh grass
of pastures will stimulate her to hold
up to good production.
Calves in the first few months Of
their growth are fed mostly by hand.
In winter there il more time to care
for them properly. The grass of
spring will come along just when they
are getting started on rapid growth.
THE dry period Of the cow will
come at the time Of year when pas
lures are usually poor in Missouri,
and whom flies are bad This will
give relief to the COWS when they
need it, and will be easier for the
mixers.
I'm cases where regular milk
trade is to be supplied, 1t is necessary
to have the cows calve at intervals so
that there will be almost a uniform
flow, but where the farmer is selling
cream It seems best to have the
calves come In the fall"

Use Business Methods.

O. R. Johnson, instructor in farm
accounts at the University of Mis-
souri,, advises that every farmer
should take a complete inventory Of
his property every year. The best
time to take this, he says, Is In
March, for at that time there is the
least amount of feed on hand, and
there is more time to look over the
stock. BY keeping yearly account
with himself the farmer Is able to
see whether he is getting along any
better or is losing ground. Farming
today is business like any other &C.
cupation, and the man who will be
successful in the end is the one who
uses business methods.
