How few rhubarb plants one sees

toned spring tonic is! Considering
the fact that 1t costs practically moth.
ing to plant 1t and the plants come up
year after year. there is no reason
why we should not, all of US. have all
of the pieplant pie that we can eat
every spring. Half a dozen hills will
supply an average family.
Harvest time for rhubarb is the
spring and early summer. but we fre-
quently get a second crop in the fall.
Sandy loan is best for this plant,
but 1t will grow well in any rich,
warm, moist soil. You cannot get the
soil too rich for rhubarb. and 1t does
not stand drouth very well.
Do not try to grow the plants from
seed. II you can secure root cuttings
from a good. strong old hill. Each
cutting should have two buds or eyes.
with the eyes an inch below the sur
face. They will begin to grow at once
and. II planted early. few stalks
can be pulled the first year.
As fast as seed stalks appear cut
them off. If very fine, large stalks
are wanted, and why not have the
best, thin out all but the center buds.
SO that the entire strength of the
plant will feed these.
After the leaves are cut back by
frost In the fall cover the plants with
four inches of straw or manure. This
prevents freezing and makes the next
years crop earlier.
While the plants will start early,
at the same time the leaves will not
push through this covering until after
danger of spring frosts is past. hence
it should not be removed too soon.
Many commercial growers keep the
soil covered with straw the year
round in order to keep weeds down
and hold moisture without cultivation.
Cover the plants in the winter any
way. 1t will avoid disappointment
and increase the plant food.
| Every three or four years 1t is ad-
visable to dig up the plants. divide
them and replant in another spot. II
this is not done, the plants run out
and the stalks grow small and pithy.
Division and a new location start
them off again as good as new.
Any surplus can always be sold In
the spring at a good price as we seem
| to have a natural craving for the fresh
| green acid qualities CT this old-time
pie fruit" Eat lots of it. Eat 1t raw
and cooked, in pies and out OF pies,
put up all you cannot eat and save 1t
for yinter, but grow it yourself IL you
have two by four patch of ground
where the sun shines. 1t costs moth
ing to raise and It tastes lots better
when 1t comes out of your own patch.
And, furthermore, it is a much better
spring tonic than sulphur and mo
lasses, or sassafras.

Cold Storage for Fruit.

Three systems of cold storages are
commonly used for fruit-the ammo
mia system. carbonic acid gas and cal.
cium chloride-says the New England
Homestead. All are chemical s,or.
ages; but in region where natural
ice can be obtained cheaply. the cal.
cium chloride gravity system seems to
be much cheaper than the two first,
and equally good. The ammonia sys.
tenn has to be pumped at pressure OF
200 pounds to 400 pounds to the square
inch. Both these require expensive
duplicate machinery and high-priced
engineers night and day, while the cal
cium chloride uses cheap machinery
and ordinary help. G. II. Powell, for.
merly with the United States depart.
ment at Washington, says the calcium
chloride gravity system is the best for
northern localities.

The sIIo as a Forage Bank.

There is produced every year in this
country sufficient forage to feed liber-
ally all the live stock of the land. and
leave good balance besides. The
shortage of supplies each year is due
to the spelling and wasting of forage
flready grown. and the means of pre-
serving this forage will solve the
stock problem OF the country. The
principal waste is now going on with
the corn plant. II is most noticeable
ir the corn belt states where perhaps
so per cent. OF the stalk and leaves of
this most valuable forage is wasted
annually. AS economic stock produc-
tion is determined by the proper use
of forage. the silo furnishes a means
whereby all farm forage can be pre-
served and placed in the best possible
condition for feeding. The silo is too
well known to require a description of
this method. but its use is certainly
sadly wanting. 1t can be safely said.
on any farm where 10 head or more
of cattle are kept, a silo is proper
equipment. and of great economic
value.

Matters-How to Plan the Garden

BysRRoF. JOHN WILLARD soLTE.
We arr frequently asked to give sug-
teF e regarding the best way to

flu w purposes. Space does not
p If our answering such a COM
pr1 I've question for each inquirer
and we take this opportunity to cover
the subject in detail.
Let us suppose that your back yard
Is about 25 feet wide and so feet deep
1t is fenced in and is pretty sunny
most of the day. There is a back
gate and a walk leading from the
house to the gate. How shall we lay
out our garden to get the greatest
same time secure the most beautiful
effect.
In the first place, give fruit and
vegetables the right Of way, using
grass and flowers to fill in the odd cor
ners. Most of our fruit bearing shrubs
and trees are as beautiful as any flow
ering shrubs, many of the fruits them
selves are highly decorative, and our
anticipation of harvest time lends a
very tangible interest. which is lack
ing in merely decorative plants.
Plant row of dwarf pear trees fiat
along the south side of one wall and
train them in the espalier. vine like.
form on a trellis. Use Dwarf Seckle
and Bartlett pears. Along the wall
facing east plant dwarf peaches (Craw-
fords are fine) and train them in the
same way. Plant from four to six feet
apart and allow from four to six main
branches to grow.
Dwarf cherries or dwarf apples may
be planted against the other walls.
where they will take up very little
plants near the north side of any wall
are far enough away to get some sun
shine.
A very satisfactory plan for the
walk is to cover 1t with a latticed
pergola and train grapes over 1t. Della
ware grapes on, the shadier side and
Concords on the sunny. Grapes make
fine screen for any small buildings,
ash boxes, ETC., in the yard.
A strawberry bed 10 feet by 20 feet
close to the pears, and three rows OF
20 plants each of blackberries. rasp
berries and currants will fill up the
halt Of the garden next to one Ions
side and the balance can be devoted
to vegetables and flowers.
We prefer dwarf fruit trees to the
full sized ones because they come into
bearing very early. require much less
care, and produce fined fruit in very
good quantity. Dwarf pears are very
satisfactory. Prune and fertilize and
spray properly and your dwarf fruit
trees will bear heavily every year.
By planting them against the sunny
side of wall and training like vines
the fruit natures earlier. the trees
decorate the wall and they take VI
much less room than II planted in the
open. The amount of edible fruit pro
| duced will be- nearly as great. Try
some dwarf fruit trees yourself this
year.

Chicken FARMING.

There is no agricultural subject OF
greater interest to all classes of peo-
pie than poultry keeping in some form
or other.
Overy eighty out OF hundred farm
ers, large and small, the country over,
keep hens. About forty per cent. of
the householders in small towns and
villages keep backyard fiocks, and the
number of focks in the great cities is
positively astounding.
Almost every man you know has
at some time been possessed with the
idea that the easiest way on earth to
make a living is with chickens. II
you doubt 1t, ask the next man you
meet what he thinks about the chick
en- business.
Go to a few poultry shows next win
ter, after having industriously read
the monthly issues of a couple of good
poultry journals this summer, and by
the time the incubator salesman gets
in his work 1t will take a straight
jacket to keep you from starting to
keep chickens. And really, 1t is
very fascinating occupation.
No one need be ashamed of being
chicken crank" in these days, because
the poultry industry of the country is
assuming such vast proportions that
it bids fair to overtop any. other sin
gle agricultural product in value at
the time OF the next census. Further
than this, no other product can equal
it for net profits to the producer, be-
cause the investment in stock and
equipment is exceedingly small COM
pared to the returns. The labor, land
and building investment represented
by one dairy COW would take care OF
enough hens to bring in three times
the profit.
Now then, can a man of ordinary in
teIiigence, no experience and small
capital, hope to get rich by raising
chickens? There is but one answer
and that is, that he may hope to, but
he will not make good.
The writer is personally acquainted
with prominent poultry men in nearly
every state in the Union, and while
many of them are well to do. not one
is rich, even from the farmers stand
