writer in the Iowa Homestead sub

building is 32x5O feet square and 16

three large corn cribs, store room
for ground feed and the machinery
room on ground floor. a wagon
dump is installed in the driveway op-

way is floored over 10 feet above

corn and chop feeds. Spouts and
conveyors are arranged to reach all
parts of the building. and corn or
small grain is stored in any OF the
cribs or bins by means of the dump
and elevator. The bins that are in
tended for holding grain for market
have self-loading, unprecedented bot
toms, and by pulling a string the
grain is loaded in the wagon or bags
by gravity. AS there are so many
grinders, elevators, etc, on the mar

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 a 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

duced almost white, and very tender
and palatable. Sometimes, when
grown in the dark, the stalk produced
Is a 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 1t 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 Ia 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 feshy roots. Pieces OF roots are
set in mellow soil IN rows Ave 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.

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

(By II. ]. 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 tenn
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-
urely different. In England, France,
Germany, Denmark, Sweden and 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 (Bah-
renheit), while In summer the tenn.
perature does not often go above So
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 I'D.
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 a crop
that started under favorable condi.
tons and which. II it had not been for
the cold winter, would have been n
record breaker.
Another feature in raising grain in
the European countries mentioned Is
the awkward and expensive way of
planting, harvesting and handling-a
method which, II 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. or
at least a majority of It is done, by
women and cows and the harvesting
is done with a sickle, as 1t was In
Abraham's time, or with a scythe.
Cradles are unknown and harvesters
used only on the larger farms, which
are the exception.

ucts throughout the year is the one
who studies how, when and where"
TO market. He learns that during Ger.
tain months in each year there is a
shortage in different kinds of poul.
try products, and he plans to produce
as large a quantity as possible Of
these products during the season Of
scant supply. He then ascertains IN
which markets he can dispose @,
these goods to best advantage, and
prepares and packs them according to
the requirements of those markets
Poultry products are concentrated
and valuable, although not extremely
perishable. Therefore, improved means
of transportation make it possible fer
the poultryman to place his goods In
the best markets without greatly 10
creased expense.

Feed During MoItinC.

The melting of fowls is a natural
process and not a disease and no
medical treatment is necessary or dc.
sirable. Feed Noting fowls just as
you would feed them at any other
time, only remember that melting is
done during hot weather, and less ea7.
bonaceous food should be given then
when the weather is cool. Oats, wheat
cut clover or alfalfa or any leguminol.
seeds may be used more because the
weather is warm than that fowls are
melting. Any sort of green food is
good; so are beets, turnIps bulbs or
tubers of any sort that they vii, cat
