GOOD REASONS FOR SUCCESS IN
GARDEN WORK
(Intermountain Farmer)

peFlOT 10 lHOSe VI mOSI AuSiiCdus
They not only appear to always have
perfect stand, but they seem to
make things grow. The reasons are
not always obvious. A correspondent
of the Denver Field and Farm invest
igated the methods of one of the Chi
nese gardeners near that city and
found his plan of caring for garden
and field seeds was very different
from that of most people, and he
thought large share of the Chinese
gardeners success might be attribut-
ed to his methods of selection and
care of seed. Speaking of the China
mans system, he said:
HE saves his squash and pumpkin
seeds by the simple process of keep
ing those that especially strike his
fancy in cool, dry place until the
planting season arrives. Then he
plants the seeds with pieces of the
pulp adhering and the plants appear
above the ground with mushroom
like promptness. His cantaloupe seed
he ties up in bag of coarse burlap
and covers this loosely with rich soil
allowing the seeds to spreut before
planting them.
HE also preserves his cucumber
seeds in the cucumber, which he coats
carefully with paraffine, as soon as
pulled from the vine. When he ir-
rigates his potatoes-he waters long
and deeply; and his potatoes never
grow near enough to the surface to
become sunburned. There is no ques-
ton as to the superiority in size and
quality of the deep-grown potato over
those grown close to the surface. His
beet seed are soaked in water for at
least forty-eight hours before plant
ing. He sets them to soak in warm
water and during the daytime keeps
the vessel containing them as much
in the sunshine as possible.
No one ever saw him throw away
a young plant of any description. He
merely transplants them and nine
tenths survive and flourish, for he is
surely a past master in the art of
transplanting. When his lettuce
plants grow to about the height of
two inches, he thins out the bend and
clipping off about an inch of the
root tip of each plant he pulls up, he
resets in long rows and the trans
planted lettuce makes more rapid and
larger growth than those left undis-
,urbed. The transplanted lettuce
with it's Tipped roots grows to such
enormous heads that at short dis
lance they remind one of thrifty cab
Dage rows.
He never uproots the head lettuce
he markets. Instead he leaves the
stalks in the ground and assiduously
waters and cultivates them whereup-
IN they produce another head in
bout half the time required for the
irst head to reach marketable size.
lis beets are invariably started from
eed, are transplanted after having
heir roots slipped and they grow to
'e larger in circumference than the
ordinary saucer. He also beheads his
abbage, leaving the stalk to grow.
lie cuts slight ricks or gashes in the
stalk, which watered and
ended produces second growth that
n appearance are fair limitations of
russels sprouts and quite as good to
at. His faith in the forcing powers
t warm water is sublime. He heats
yater for his radishes in the chilly
avs of spring, testing its tempera-
ure as carefully as if preparing a
aby's bath"

WOMAN OPPOSES LAWYERS.
Resists in Supreme Court Judgment
for $4,000 Fee.

Jefferson City.-An application fol
a writ of prohibition against Judge
Nat M. Sheldon of the Adair county
circuit court and to quash a suit pend,
ing there to collect $4,000 from Marie
butcher of St. Louis was filed in the
supreme court in banc.
In 1907 Marie butcher obtained
$1,000 damages against the Wabash
railroad for injuries suffered in an
accident at Kirksville. The railroad
appealed to the supreme court, where
the judgment was sustained. The in.
terest swelled the amount to $4,000.
The attorneys who represented the
woman were to receive one-third Of
the judgment, but after the appeal
was taken to the supreme court they
contend that additional counsel was
employed, which, together with the
expenses incurred, amounting to ST.
900 above the original feed.
Suit was instituted against the WON
ut Kirksville, where, it is averred,
judgment was entered against her by
default.
Marie butchers present attorney
claims there is no cause for action
against his client, and that the Adal
county circuit court is without iuris
diction in the premises.
The hearing or the will was set fol
December 5 by the court in banc.

NO SLEEPING BAG FOR THEM
L~apIanders Preferred the Snow and
the Open Air, and So Had .
Comfortable Night.

Sir Henry Lucy tells in the Corn
hill Magazine a good story that he
had from hansen, the explorer. II
amusingly illustrates the hardy health
of the Laplanders.
Part of Nansen's equipment for his
trip across Greenland consisted Of two
sleeping-bags made of undressed
skins. On the first night of the jour
ney hansen and his two Norwegian
companions got into one Of the bags,
pulled the mouth tight across theiE
necks, and so slept In the snow with
only their heads out.
Before retiring to rest, hansen saw
the three Laplanders he had engaged
for the expedition cozily tucked into
the other sleeping-bag. When he
awoke in the morning, almost numb
with cold, he observed that the bag
in which he had tied up the Lapland'
ers was empty, and that they were no
where in sight. He was afraid they
had deserted him, and scramblina
out. of the bag he went in search OF
them. He found the three men fast
asleep behind a hillock of snow that
they had scraped together as a pro-
lection against the wind.
"Ah, MASTER" they said, when ask
ed to explain this extraordinary con-
duct, 1--WE couldn't sleep in that thing,
1t was too hot, so we got out and
have had a comfortable night here"

The country vote appears to range

No. 6, providing for single tax; No. z,

BETTER CARE ADVOCATED

Fulton.-"It's a crime the way we
treat our old ministers" said w. c.
Harris of Fulton, secretary of the Min
isters' Aid society of the Baptist
General association Of Missouri at the
convention here. 1--WE take better
care of our worn out horses. This
society has been in existence fifteen
years and $1,000 endowment fund is
all we have been able to collect. The
question has been asked: Why not
build a home for the aged m%inisters?'
Ministers don't want to be sent to a
home. They want to be free to live
with their people and friends and con-
tinue to work for the kingdom of God
as much as they are able"
The next annual meeting will be
held at Hannibal. The need of in
creasing the fund for the support of
aged ministers was agitateS warmly.
There are 1887 Baptist ministers
IN the state" said E. w. Stephens,
moderator, land the interest at s per
cent on $1,000 is all that we have to
help them in their Old age after the
majority OF them have spent d life OF
service on a salary that was barely
adequate to keep them from starving
to death"
A short summer school for country
ministers will be inaugurated at the
University of Missouri next summer
Agriculture will be one of the things
taught.
