SOME TIMELY GARDEN NOTES
Hotbeds Should Be Watched Closely
and Manure Carefully Prepared
Inspect All implements.

By LIE ROY CADY. Assistant Horticul-
turist. University Farm, St. Paul, Mimi
Watch the hotbeds closely.
Ventilate hotbeds on the side away
from the wind if possible.
Manure may be spread on the gar
den and plowed in this spring.
Be sure the manure is heating even
~ before it is put in the frame.
II hotbed manure does not heat
readily put on few buckets Of hot
water.
Bank hotbeds with manure that is
not heating. Dry manure will not be
SO likely to freeze and take heat from
the frame.
When pruning, have a reason for
every cut made and close to the limb
or trunk Leave no stubs.
Pruning may be done late in March.
Cover all wounds over one-half inch in
diameter with white lead or grating
wax
Seed for most early plants may be
sown at this time. Transplant when
large enough and keep growing nicely
till they are ready to set in the field.
Inspect all garden tools, sharpen and
put them into the best condition. Per-
haps there are some new ones that
should be purchased. Now is a good
time. Look them up.
Grating wax is made by melting to-
gether four pounds of resin, two
pounds Of beeswax and one pound Of
unsalted tallow. Heat this about f1f-
teen or twenty minutes, then throw
into cold water and pull in the same
manner as molasses candy.

Domestic Treasure.

The death has just taken place at
Green Lanes, London, of Hannah
Crawley, aged seventy-three, who, dur
ing an unbroken period Of 63 years,
served the family of Mr.. Coleman
Jones, a government contractor, now
living at 8, Springdale Road, N. In
her youth she declined several offers
of marriage, and during the So years
she was not absent from her work a
single day.
Mr.. Jones has still in his employ
another maid who has served 81
years without being absent day. The
rule of these domestic treasures" was
to take a holiday when their employ
ers did, and to take it with them.

WOULD PAY NATIONAL DEBT
Daniel Webster on Record as Becom-
Ing Quite Generous at HiIari-
Gus Banquet

But Daniel Webster was greater
and more impressive human presence
IN the old Franklin house taproom
than any of his contemporaries, or
successors. The best stories were al
ways about him, and almost invariably
hinged upon his notorious indiscre-
tons IN the matter of over-convivia1-
Ity- Some of these anecdotes, for
sufnc1ently obvious reasons, never got
beyond the currency of oral tradition.
Others have been judiciously edited
and passed into print. One which |
had from original hearers may posi-
bly, have escaped general publicity
The noble Daniel, as everybody
knows, was generous before he was
just. He was reader to help others
out of debt than to discharge his own
obligations. He would remember
friend in need and borrow money of
third person to relieve that friends
necessity and then forget to pay the
party of the third part. Hence,
chronic financial embarrassment
On one notable anniversary Daniel
Webster was called upon to SAY
something" on five different topics,
Of more or less specific gravity. The
last and weightiest was THE National
Debt" 1t was late, and the banquet
had already passed the "walnuts and
wine" stage, when, the mighty Daniel
arose YEARLY for his eliminating out
burst of oratory. Thrusting one hand
into the expansive bosom Of his coat,
he stood there in his familiar jovelike
attitude, trying to think what his sub
ject was supposed to be.
The National Debt" whispered the
toastmaster, prompting him.
With superhuman dignity, the New
England Demosthenes pulled himself
together and in deep organ tones
spake thus:
And now we come, my fellow citi-
zens, to that momonetous considera-
ton, the national debt, gentlemen; the
national debt"-fumbling in his waist
coat pocket-"why, damn it, I'll pay
it myself. From the "reminiscences
of Henry Clay Barnabee."

Lifeboats in Suit-Cases.

Garry your own lifeboat," is the
motto of an italian inventor, Mr.. G.
Ptperno, who has come to England
with what is probably the most am
bilious marine life-saving appliance on
record.
When not in use the apparatus is
packed into what looks like a mans
suitcase, measuring "a inches by IS
inches by inches, and weighing 20
pounds. When disaster is imminent
the passenger brings the suitcase on
deck, breaks the seal, and the appa-
ratus opens out and becomes a small
boat.
If it is necessary to abandon the
ship the passenger steps into his pri-
vate boat, closes the outer cover, and
launches his craft by hurting himself
overheard. Then, according to Mr..
Piperno, the apparatus rights itself
in the water, the top cover is thrown
open, and the occupant finds himself
sitting in an absolutely unsuitable
ship.-Daily Express.

Stem Rot Fungus.

duces a high-grade table potato. No
such differentiation at least to the
same extent, occurs in this country. It
is true that in certain sections We
now have a well-developed seed-pota-
borrowing industry, but comparative
ly few growers in these sections are
paying sufficient attention to the
elimination of diseased and unpro-
ductive strains or to keeping the
variety grown free from mixture with
other varieties. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the time is ripe for demand
ing a better grade of seed potatoes
than is now generally obtained from
either seedsmen or growers.
The question Of what constitutes
good seed is a vital one, and possibly
no two persons would fully agree in
every particular upon this point. 1t
would seem, however, that the follow
ing factors play an important role:
Pure seed from productive plants, not
over ripe, uniform in size and shape,
firm and sound, with first sprouts just
showing at planting time. Seed of
such quality, if furnished suitable cul-
tural conditions, will seldom fail to
produce a remunerative crop. A con-
sentative estimate of the increase that

Sir Walter Oheved-

Miss Alice Wernher, writing on the
centenary of the birth of Bishop
Colenso, recalls an amusing incident
which occurred when Colenso arrived
in Durham after his visit to England
in connection with the native ques-
ton, which stirred such depths of
bitterness 40 years ago.
He was warned not to preach in
his own church, st. Paul's, but per-
sisted, and the only 'demonstration"
which took place was the rising of
the late Sir Walter Peace to leave
the church as Bishop Colenso entered
the pulpit
In trying to open the door of his
pew, Sir Walter dropped his hat and
heavy stick.
Amid the clatter the bishop all
unconscious, gave out his text, Peace,
Be STILL and the astonished Peace,
hit as it were between the eyes, sank
back into his seat and remained
there"

Mustard an Ancient Remedy.

Mustard is one of the most ancient
of medicines. Pythagoras, who -four
ished between 500 and 600 years be-
fore Christ, mentions it Hippocrates,
who was born in 400 B. c., employed
it. PHny the Elder, writing in II A. D.,
describes three different kinds of
mustard, and says the seeds were
imported to Italy from Egypt origin
ally.
The Romans used it as a stimulant
after a cold bath: they mixed mustard
OIL and olive oil in equal parts and
used this as a liniment for stiffness of
the muscles. They knew the virtues
of mustard poultices and of mustard
as an emetic. AS a remedy for the
stings of scorpions and serpents, they
pounded it, mixed it with vinegar and
applied it to the wound
They also made a drink out of it,
fermenting the seed in a fiery spirit.
The liquor thus produced they called
mustum ardens, which means burn
ing wine. The word mustard is prob
ably derived from this.

PROPER FEED FOR TURKEYS
When the Hen Begins to Set She
Should Be Provided With Corn and
and Wheat and Fresh Water.
By G. M. SHUITZ.1


When the turkey hen begins to sit,
she should be provided with a dish
Of whole corn and wheat, given access
to fresh water twice day, and then
must be left absolutely undisturbed.
In order to get the best results, each
turkey hen should have an individual
pen where she can sit and eat and
drink without being compelled to go
out into the yard with the other birds,
or be disturbed in any way.
If she is to be disturbed at all, it
is only to give her thorough busting
with insect powder two or three times
during the sitting period, which COW
ers from q to 80 days. During this
time the turkey hen sits very quietly,
sometimes refusing to leave the nest
for So hours at a time to get food or
water. She should never be urged to
leave the nest for this purpose or any
other, but food and water should al
ways be within her reach at all times.
She knows best what she wants, and
when she wants it.

RAPID LIFE IN WINDY CITY
According to New York Woman's
Story Its Reputation Has Basis
Other Than Humorous.

There is a New York woman who
goes twice a year to Chicago with her
husband, when the latter makes peri
odical business trips. They always
stay at the same hotel-a large though
quiet house, which gets a good deal
of Chicago and Illinois trade. The
New Workers have come to be known
to the woman housekeeper of the
hotel. They have just returned from
their latest journey to the city by
Lake Michigan, and this is what Mrs.
New Yorker says:
Il always used to think that the
humorous paragraphs in the papers
dealing with the frequency of Chi
Cago divorces were jokes, but l know
now they have a solid basis Of fact.
The reason? Because when we were
in Chicago this time the housekeeper
of the hotel said to me: I'm so glad
to see you back again, ma'am. And
you know-if you'll excuse me saying
it-youre the only lady that comes
back here year after year with the
same husband. New York Times.

CULLING THE POULTRY FLOCK
Hens Over Two or Three Years of
Age, Badly Shaped Birds and Poor
Layers Are Improbable.

By PROF. J. G. HALPIN, Wisconsin
College of Agriculture)
The poultry flock should be cuIled
during early summer, so as to take
advantage of the comparatively good
prices that prevail then. Hens over
two or three years old, the small
hens, the badly shaped ones with
crow heads or crooked breasts, over
fat hens, and hens known to be poor
layers, should be sold. Not only will
the price be lower later in the season,
but the presence of these undesirable
hens will reduce the efficiency Of the
entire flock. Then, after the flock has
been culled, all the remaining hens
should be given leg bands or other
wise marked so that they may later
be distinguished from the pullets.

MACHINE FOR TESTING SEED
Incubator May Be Put to Good Use
When Not Wanted for Matching
Eggs-Use False Tray.

While not in use for Matching, the
machine may be used for testing seed
by making a false tray of light wood
which is filed with sand. The seed
should be placed in the sand, covered
and kept moist. Keep the tempera-
ture up to about IS degrees, and the
seed will terminate in a short time.
Even when it is in use for hatch
ing, seeds may be tested by placing
them between damp cloths in plate,
setting the plate under the egg tray
in what is known as the chicken nurs-
cry.
Plants thus terminated in sand may
be transplanted to the hotbed, not
only testing the seed for vitality, but
utilizing those so tested.

Hog houses ought to be isolated,

Portable houses, mounted on run

clover or rape field to another, giving
the pigs fresh pasturage and clean
quarters. Of course such pens are
only for shelter and nesting purposes.

Don't DESTROY Roots

The roots of plant spread out far
Their than its leaves or blades do. In
the corn and cotton field they meet
and interlap. These roots are essen
tial to plant growth, and should not be
cut off or injured. This is the reason
for shallow cultivation. This makes
a mulch and holds moisture but does
not injure the roots.

Sprays for the Farm Garden.

Every gardener should have a
small sprayer In large gardens a
barrel spray pump can be well used.
For this can be substituted KNAPP
sack sprayer. For the ordinary small
garden, however, a hand sprayer that
will cost around So will be found
of great convenience and use. These
small sprayers will hold anywhere
from one to four quarts of material
and the manipulation can spray from
$50 to 200 feet of row with this
amount of solution.-T. H. Mediation,

IMPORTANCE OF SEED
POTATO GROWER PAYS LITTLE
ATTENTION TO QUALITY.
Comparatively Few Growers Give suf-
ffcIent Thought to Elimination of
Diseased and Unproductive
Strains of Tubers.
By WILLIAM sTUART.)

OF the many causes which operate
to produce a low average potato yield
in this country, poor seed is thought
to be a very important one. The Amer
lean potato grower pays too little at
tention to his seed potatoes The Eu-
ropean growers, especially those Of
Great Britain and Germany, pay very
strict attention to the quality and
quantity of the seed they use This
has led to a differentiation Of the po-
tato industry into seed and crop spe-
cialists. The seed specialist makes
business of producing high-quallty
seed, while the crop specialist pro-
