COULDN'T HAVE DONE BETTER
Marriage Arrangement Seemed Some
thing Of Bargain, but It Turned
Out Happily.

George A. Birmingham, the widely
known writer, says there is no coun-
try in the world where marriage, at
least In the peasant class, is more a
matter of bargaining, and yet shows a
higher average of stability and con-
tent than Ireland. Sometimes the
man has never seen the woman be-
fore they are brought together, the
precise number of pounds, sows. or
pigs to be handed over having been
by that time settled.
This is illustrated in personal recol-
lections just published by an Irish
woman. She was visiting with an
aunt cottage in the neighborhood.
and admired fine mahogany chest of
drawers.
Twas for that was married,
said the mistress of the cottage. A
young farmer had also seen and adj
mired. A bargain was struck. There
was no money, but the bride was to
have a couple of sheep, yearling
bullock and the chest. The prudent
young man measured 1t, and then
turned and asked:
AN which o. thin little girls is it?''

TEMPERATURE MOST
IMPORTANT ESSENTIAL
Conditions Existing in Wheat
Growing in U. S. and Eu-
rope Differ.

(By H. J. DUNLAP. Cologne. Germany.)
OF late years many writer's in com.
pairing the results of raising wheat in
the United States and various Euro.
pean countries seemingly jump to the
conclusion that the difference In yield
is wholly caused by the neglect Of the
American farmer to fertilize properly
and cultivate his land. To a certain
extent this Is true. but 1t does not
account for all the difference. In the
United States the wide range of TEN.
perature, not only in summer, but in
winter as well, has much to do with
the crop. The extremes in winter
freeze the plant in the winter wheat
regions and the heat and drought In
summer in the northwest spring wheat
country ruin or shrink that crop.
In Europe the conditions are en-.
tirely different In England, France,
Germany. Denmark, Sweden md Nor.
way the climate Is not subject to such
extremes of cold In winter. In the
four first named countries the tenn.
perature seldom goes below zero (Fah.
renheit). while in summer the tenn.
perature does not often go above 50
degrees. There is seldom any uncer
tainty about the moisture either in
fall or spring, for 1t rains nearly every
day more or less so that the growing
plant is not frozen out or burned up
Given the same conditions in the
United States grain growing districts
and with the present system Of cult
walton continued the United States
would be able to supply all the wheat
needs of the whole world. The wheat
crop OF Illinois this year is an example
of what the weather will do to cror
that started under favorable condi
tons and which. If 1t had not been fol-
the cold winter. would have been a
record breaker.
Another feature In raising grain In
the European countries mentioned IL
the awkward and expensive way oil
planting, harvesting and handIing-a
method which, If followed In the
United States, would make wheat cost
at least $3.50 bushel The amount
OF hand labor bestowed on a five-acre
field of wheat in Germany would, II
applied to our fields, bankrupt the
farmer. Here the work Is all done. OF
at least majority of 1t is done, BY
women and cows and the harvesting
is done with sickle. as 1t was in
Abraham's time or with a ecythe
Cradles are unknown and harvesteri
used only on the larger farms. which
are the exception.

They we're many miles from rail-

Pulaski remembered that about

they packed themselves like sardines

GROWING RHUBARB IN
VERY COLD WEATHER
Plant Can Easily be Forced IN
Cellar During Winter
Months

Rhubarb can be easily forced in the
farmhouse cellar in winter and the
stalks had six weeks to two months
earlier than usual.
For this purpose rhubarb roots
should be dug late in the fall and al
lowed to freeze. They should then be
removed to a frost proof cellar and
buried three or four inches deep in
moist sand.
After they have been slightly frozen
they may be set In root cellar, or
any building which is heated, packed
close together, and covered with very
rich soil. 1t is best to cover the
crowns from four to six inches.
Care should be taken not to over.
water the plants. Rhubarb may also
be forced in unheated buildings, pro-
vided they are covered with glass. par
ticularly In the warmer climates.
Rhubarb, forced in this way. does
not develop very large leaves. and the
stalk is very much sweeter than that
grown out of doors.
1t is also blanched. and IL the
proper care is taken, 1t may be pro-
duced almost white, and very tender
and palatable. Sometimes. when
grown In the dark, the stalk produced
IL dark cherry red, and presents a
most attractive appearance on the
market.
Light is not essential to the growth
of rhubarb. In fact. experiments show
that the plants kept In the cellar grow
better In darkness than in light. It is
very essential. however. that the
plants should not be frozen.
II the room occupied by the roots
is small, lighted lantern kept near
them will give out heat enough to CON.
siderably hasten their growth.
Rhubarb Is also forced to a consid-
cradle extent for market in special
| house, cold frames and under the
benches of greenhouses.
For outdoor growing rhubarb is
generally propagated by division OF
the fieshy roots. Pieces Of roots are
set In mellow soil In rows five feet
apart and about three feet apart in
the row The root pieces should be
set with the crowns about four inches
below the Surface OF the soil. The
ground should be kept well cultivated
the first season and stalks may be
pulled the following spring.
Rhubarb is also grown from seed
but varieties true to name can only be
grown from roots. Eight to twelve
plants of rhubarb will supply a large
family.

Passaic, N. 1.-THE city commission.

Insisting that the values on the tax
rolls in previous years has been too
low. the commission this year ask
ed the mill owners to furnish inven-
tories of their own property. In most
cases the owners gave estimates
greatly in advance of the figures al
which their property had been pre-
yiously assessed. One company vol
unfairly -aised its assessment from
5000, 900 to $1,500.000. The net gain
obtained by this method over the as
