CIGARETTE CRUSADE RENEWED.
Miss CASTOR To Work Among Women
and College Boys.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Miss Lucy Page
Castor. superintendent of the Anti-Cig
arctic League of America, has renewed
her war upon cigarettes and win direct
her attention particularly to women and
young college boys who have acquired
the habit. The cigarette has greater
grip upon women than upon men, says
Miss CASTOR, and colleges are hotbed
for the cigarette habit
Maybe it is because women have a
weaker will power than men or maybe
it is because they are more changeable
of mind" said Miss CASTOR. anyway.
am surprised at the large number of
women who have written me heart
rending letters asking for the slightest
encouragement, that they might be able
to sever the bonds which hold them
slaves to the cigarette habit.
Zone woman whose husband is prom
inent Canadian, possessor of title, and
who moves in the most exclusive So
eiety, has written for the cure. She
contracted the habit unknown to her
husband. | was astonished to find that
some of the women have been using
cigarettes for 20 years. This is remark
able, considering the fact that the habit
among women in society is a fad of
recent origin. Actresses seem
to be in the majority of women pa
tients.
''In the fall shall open clinics in
other cities and shall start crusade
in the colleges. They are the hotbed
Of the cigarette habit. Manufacturers
of cigarettes have admitted that their
sales are proportionally large in college
towns and professors have compiled sta
tistics showing the injury which the hab-
it inhicts upon students. Many boy
smokes his first cigarette in college be-
cause the home influence is lacking. If
we can reach the college students we
can put the cigarette out of business
and We are going to reach them"

Owner of Good Farm to be Con-
graduated

The reader who is contemplate
ing building a stable can very
profitably spend few days visit
ing some of the best farms in
the vicinity, for the purpose of
studying the location and the
construction of their stables.
The man who owns a good farm
is to be congratulated, especially
if he is tilling it and is contented
and happy. He has something that
will endure. 1t will not burn up
or blow away. It's success does
not depend upon artificial condi-
tons, as does many other things.
Unfavorable weather makes re-
suits more or less uncertain, but
take it year in and year out, the
balance is always on the right
side of the ledger on the aver
age, providing the farm is locat-
ed in good agricultural section.
Verify, the farm is a great insti-
tuition.

The roots are spread on lattice
trays and are frequently exam
ined and turned, but must al
ways be handled gently to avoid
breaking the forks or marring the
surface. 1t requires nearly
month of drying to cure the larg-
er roots properly, but the heat
may we'll be diminished toward
the end of the process except in
noticeable damp weather. In all
stages of curing particular care
should be taken to see that the
root does not mold or sour, as any
defect will greatly depress the
selling price. On the other hand,
oyerheating should be avoided, as
it tends to discolor the surface
and spoil the texture of the in
terror. Once well cured, the
roots should be stored in q dry
and airy place, secure from YER
min, until ready for sale. The
market lies with the wholesale
drug dealers, some of whom
make a speciality of buying gin
seng root for export.
The diseases of cultivated gin
seng appear to be chiefly incident
to the crowding of the plnats, de-
ficient drainage, and lack of VEN
tilation. In their natural state
the plants as a rule are thinly
scattered on the forest floor un-
der advantageous conditions of
ventilation and soil drainage, the
normal action of tree roots play
ing no inconsiderable part in the
latter condition, and diseases, Of
which there are several, are like
ly to remain quite local in eff
feet; but under the crowded con-
ditions of commercial culture they
tend to spread and may cause ma
terial injury. Errors in fertili-
Zation and soil treatment are also
fruitful sources of injury and by
weakening the resistance of the
plants further invite the inroads
of disease. Bulletin No. $50 of
Plant Industry of the United
States department of Agriculture
treats of ginseng diseases ana
their control in the light of the
most recent researches. Prospec-
tive growers will find it of ad-
vantage to consult this work.

The Dairy Barn

One of the most important points
to keep in mind is drainage. The
COW stable should be located where
the drainage is best. Don't hunt
out the lowest spot on the farm
to erect the barn. On some farms
the location of the barn tempts
one to believe that the builder
did this very thing. The drain
age should also be away from and
not toward the house or well.
Some farmers are so careless "a
bout the drainage of
their yards about the sta
bic that the animals must stand
in mire up to their knees. The
writer visited a farm not long ago
where the cows were standing in
the mire up to their knees, and
the yard was located on a steep
side hill. The manure had been
allowed to accumulate at the low
er side of the yard until it form
ed a dam, thus obstructing the
drainage. it was an awful mess
to expect a mich COW to go
through on her way to and from
the barn. OF course, this was
ton, but serves to demonstrate
how extremely careless some men
will be about the drainage of their
barns and yards.
The distance of the barn from
the house is a matter of choice. A
really sanitary COW barn may be
very close to a house without be-
ing in the least offensive. The
other kind should be located at
a distance from the house to
compare with it's condition.
The stable built all above ground
is the one generally recommend
ed by practical dairyman. 1t
should have as good foundation
as you would put under your
house. Many good building has
been ruined by being placed on
a poor foundation. Whether the
barn is to be one or two stories
is also matter of choice, the barn
of two or more stores being pref
cradle on account of warmth for
the cold weather. Ten feet is
good height for the COW stable.
This affords plenty Of air space
and higher ceiling is unneces-
sary.
The question of ventilation Is
all important. The King system
is very satisfactory and can be
highly recommended. II consists
of air flues In the outer walls of
the building, opening near the
floor, or at the stills on the out
side. and extending upward as
high as the stable ceiling and
there opening into the sta ole.
These flues should have slide
by which the amount of air let in
to the barn can be controlled, as in
case of a strong wind, too much
old air may otherwise find it's
Charlevoix county herald., 1913-11-22

and their further encroachment
should be prevented by cutting
around the beds yearly with a
sharp spade. Leaf mold or we'll
decayed litter should be literally
worked into the soil, and an APP
plication of bone meal raked
into the surface will in most cases
prove a useful addition. The cul-
ture OF forest beds is in all re-
spects similar to that under ar
tificial shade, and the winter
mulch should in no case be omit
ted
Digging the Root
The cured root is valued by the
Chinese largely according to its
size and maturity. The best
qualities of proper age break
with a somewhat soft and waxy
fracture. Young and understood
roots dry hard and CLASSY and
are regarded as less desirable.
Very small roots and root fibers
often realize less than a dollar a
pound, while those of the proper
size and quality sell readily at
top quotations. Cultivated roots
as a rule attain greater size than
wild ones OF the same age, but
lack density of substance until
well past the fifth year of de-,
velopment.
Beds should rarely be dug for
market until the sixth year, and
should then be taken up solidly
and the understood roots re-
planted or securely heeled in I'M
til time to plant in the spring.
Good roots should run nearly 4
inches long, half an inch in thick
ness below the crown, and aver
age about an ounce in weight in
the fresh state.
Roots may be dug at any time
after growth ceases in September,
but mid-October is regarded as
the most favorable time. They
should be carefully washed or
shaken free of all adhering soil,
but not scraped, as it is import
ant to preserve the natural dusky
color of the skin with it's charac-
teristic annular markings.
Curing is best effected in an
airy room heated to about 80 de-
grees F. by a stove or furnace.

I best qualities during the last eight
years. The export trade in dry
roots has attained an average
value of over a million dollars
annually for the past decade.
The cultivation of native gin
seng, stimulated by it's increas-
ing scarcity and the rising prices,
began in an experimental way a
bout Is years ago and has attain
ed such proportions that the out
put of cultivated roots is little
short of that collected from the
forests and in the present state
of the market has nearly the same
value. 1T is reasonable to assume
that the cultivated root must
Eventually displace the wild art
icle as a commodity for export.
AS yields of dry root from we'll
managed paintings appear to be
at the rate of ton to the acre,
it will be realized that the pro-
duct of 100 acres of mature root
could very readily supply our
present average expectation OF
i64,53O pounds. This would re-
present total paintings of near
ly 700 acres, as it requires at
least six years to grow market
able roots from seeds.
However under the present con-
ditions of production ginseng Of
fers attractive possibilities to pa
tient cultivators who are in SYM
patty with the limitations of
growth and the slow development
of woodland plants in general and
who are willing to make a ma
terial outlay with only scanty re-
turns in view for several years
to come, but it holds out little
inducement for inexperienced
growers looking for quick pro-
fits from a small investment.
The culture of ginseng and of
special crops generally is best be-
gun in an inexpensive and ex-
perimental manner, enlarging the
equipment only as reasona blenuc-
cess seems assured. "Plunging" in
ginseng is as likely to prove dis
astrous as in other forms of
business enterprise.
The Ginseng Plant

state grows from to 20 inches
high, bearing three or more COM
pound leaves, each consisting of
five thin, stalked, ovate leaflets,
pointed at the apex and round
ed or narrowed at the base,
the three upper leaflets being
larger than the two lower ones.
A cluster of from to 20 small
greenish yellow flowers is pro-
duced in midsummer, followed
later by as many bright crimson
berries, each containing from one
to three flattish wrinkled seeds

natives of other countries. The
dried roots have been exported
from this country in increasing
quantities since the early years

TRAGEDY OF AN AIR DEATH
How the Grandchildren Of Colonel
Nieuport Concealed His
Sons Death.

"Why did not Charles come back
yesterday" querulously demanded
Colonel Nieuport, the eighty.two-year-
old father Of the airman killed near
Etampes, Seine-et.Loire, recently. His
eldest brother, Edward Nieuport, was
killed in the military maneuvers Of
1911.
The news of the second sons death
had been hidden from the father,
and his relatives could only re-
ply: Charles has gone for great
flight"
"Ah, well! And why, then, has
not Edward come to bid me good
night?"
They could not make him remember
that Edward was long dead. With
tears in their eyes. his grandchildren
brought him letters and flowers to dis
tract him.
What has happened?"sasked the
old colonel.
why, nothing, nothing, grandfa-

The old mans memory returned
and he was heard muttering: 1T is
dreadful to lose your boy. l would
rather have died before him. And the
second-his brothers equal-nothing
can have happened to him? oh, no.
The same house could not twice suf.

thought Of the honors which hsi

Suddenly the sound Of military
music came up from the street. 1t
drew nearer. and as the beating drums
passed the old soldiers window he got
up with difficulty, leaned out Of the

iment. Newspaper boys followed the
