MAKE EXTRA MONEY
FROM HOME GARDEN
There Is Always Good Demand
for Very Early Cabbage and
Tomatoes in Large Cities.
(By LAURA E. cHAPIN)

Early lettuce is best planted in a
small bed, and may be protected and
forced during cold spells by placing
over it lightcolored thin cloth, or
better. glazed window sash or any
other glass covering.
Many truck gardeners grow all their
early lettuce in board frames covered
with thin white cloth. This is also
a good, cheap protection for the grow
ing of many other early plants.
Start tomato and cabbage plants
early either il the house In boxes or
in the hotbed and have large plants
for early use when the open garden
season is ready. Give these young
plants plenty Of srin and air to make
them thrifty and hardy.
IL is good plan to set the seed
boxes outside during the day for sew.
eral days before transplanting in or
der that the young plants may become
accustomed to the open atmosphere.
Where young plants are grown in
the hotbed the sash should be entirely
removed during the day for several
days before transplanting, or the
plants should be set In a coldframe
for hardening.
A tender early forced plant will
make inferior growth and will not
mature any earlier than one grown
from seed in the open garden.
For those who care to make extra
money from the garden. there is al
ways a good demand at high prices
for very early cabbage and tomatoes.
especially the latter, in nearly every
town and city.
Cabbage can be forced to early ma
turity by planting it in rich coil and
giving liquid manure about twice a
week.
Early tomatoes may be forced by
planting them in the warmest soil in
the warmest part of the garden, and
training them on stakes so that they
will receive all possible sunshine.
Trim the vines so that only small
amount OF fruit will set.

WING FEATHERS OF
CHICKS CLIPPED?
Number of Authorities Give Their
Opinions as to the Cause and
Recommend Remedies.
CBy M. X. BoYER.)

Each spring there are more or less
complaints that the wing feathers of
chicks of the Mediterranean class grow
so fast that they droop. And the chick
loses vitality A number of authori-
ties have been consulted with the fol-
lowing result:
Bause advises pulling the large wing
feathers, as soon as the chicks droop
Arnold says he finds sweet milk the
best preventive for this trouble. giving
milk instead of water to drink
White advises clipping the erds of
the wing feathers Kulp believes in
cutting rather than pulling the wing
feathers He says pulling them might
injure the socket where the feathers
grow.
Howell says he makes it a practise
to clip off the ends of the flight feath.
ers on all the chicks when they are ten
days old.
But, after all, is it the rapid growth
Of the wing feathers which causes the
chicks to droop? Is it not more rea-
sonable to believe that the body fails
to develop as it should? There GER
to My must be something wrong with
ne management that produces such
forlorn looking specimens of chicken
hood
Why clip the wings? If they are too
heavy for their owner to carry around
in their normal position. would 1t not
be more profitable to dispose of the
chicks? They hardly would amount
to much If they lived to maturity.
Compare such chick with one that
carries the wings folded close to the
body. Take it in your hands. Notice
the difference in weight, feel how
sharp and bony is the breast Of one.
and how plump the other. Look at the
legs. 1t will take both of the one to
equal the size of the strong, thick
shank of the other.
1t certainly does seem that 1t is
cruel to prolong the life of chick so
puny that it cannot carry the weight
Of its own feathers.

more or less according to the variety
that is planted and the climate of the
locality in which the field is being
planted. Under ordinary conditions
believe in planting four kernels to the
hill, and planting the hills about three
feet six inches apart both ways.
AS general rule nothing is gained
by planting the field until the cold
spring rains are over None but good
seed that possesses a strong germinat-
ing power should be planted.
Hoed Crop for a Summer Fallow.
The more / study the value of in

come to appreciate Its value in our
crop rotations.
No practical farmer who has given
some hoed crop thorough cultivation
during the whole of a growing season
has failed to note the good effects up
on the succeeding crops in the rotation
that they are practising
Years ago the old practise of bare
summer following found favor in many
farming sections, but during recent
years the decreased price of farm
products and the increased cost OF la
Dor have made its use absolutely pro-

have discovered that hoed crop will
accomplish all that bare fallow pos

other crop that is raised in the rota-

Stormy Day Work on the Farm
One point of economy on the farm that
is often overlooked is that of making
profitable use of our hired labor dur
ing stormy weather.
The farm work shop is a necessity
on every farm and place where an
Intelligent hired man shows up to the
best advantage.
The cost of necessary tools and a
comfortable shop are comparatively
small, 1t is a nice thing to have a
stove in it, and to have cement floor
1t makes a comfortable place for the
hired man TO spend the day. and many
broken tools may be repaired at times
when work about the farm does not
press too heavily.
There are few farm investments
that will pay better returns than a
well equipped workshop.

STATE MEETING
OF 0STESfRTHS
Preparations Have Been Com

SESSIONS FOR TWO DAYS
Gathering Will Open on May 20 and

tant Subjects Are to Be
Discussed.

Madison.-Preparations have beer
completed for the annua' meeting of
the Wisconsin State Osteopathic as
ISOLATION to be held in Fond du Lac
May 30 and Il. Many important sub
jects will be discussed.
Prominent among the topics for dis
cussion at the forthcoming meeting
will be the question of amending the
present state laws in order to better
regulate the practitioners of mechani-
cal therapeutics. Under the present
laws, it is said, many quacks and ia
kers with short courses or correspon-
dence courses in manipulative therapy
have fiocked into the state and are
practising without licenses from the
state medical board and with no regu-
lation.
II is the purpose OF the Wisconsin
State Osteopathic society to work in
harmony with the state medical So
ciety in getting specific laws govern
ing all practitioners.
At the forthcoming meeting the
question of having an osteopathic rep
resentative on the state medical board.
one who practises osteopathy exclus-
lively, will be determined.
The feature of the program at the
two days meeting will be presented
by Dr. F. A. Turfler of Rensselaer,,

clans of the profession.

When the papers have been returned
q committee will be appointed to de-
termine upon the details for the con-
vention.
Republicans of Sank county held
convention, adopting platform de-
mandfng reforms and greater economy
in the state government, and request
ed Mr.. Philip to become the Repub-

A. c. Clark of Reedsburg was elect

Historical Society Library open.

Historical Society Library Open.
Wosconsins splendid library-the
home of the State Historical society
and OF the University library--is com.
plete with the new northwest wing
thrown open for service.
The new wing, work on which was
begun in 1911, and for which the leg.
islature of 1911 appropriated the sum
of S54. 900 annually for three years, has
been given over to storage of the uni
versity library. And 1t is safe to say
that no American library, and perhaps
in no library in the world, is space
better economical, or are there bet
ter arrangements. In this wing, the
outside dimensions of which are 60 by
so feet, 250,000 books are accommo
dated, or will be when the cases are
full. The total number of bound vol
umes in the entire library now ex.
ceeds 100000.
There are four main floors includ
ing the attic but excluding the base
ment. In the larger part of the wing
The extra fiors are supplied by mez
canine floors OF marble half way be
tween the regular floors which cor
respond TO the fiors OF the main build
ing.
The exterior of the northwest wing
is of the same type Of classical archt
lecture as the library proper, the ma
terial being white Bedford stone.
The interior arrangement of the
northwest wing is different, however,
from that of the southwest wing,
which was built at the same time as
the main part of the building, during
the years from 1895 to 1900. One Of
the principal differences is the great
er utility of space on the six book
floors.
In the southwest wing, for example,
there are ten cases in each of the
two rows Of cases on each floor. But
in the new wing there are IL cases
in each row, and yet there is space
esnough between the cases for two
persons to pass each other or to
stand without crowding at any point
between the cases.
This addition of two cases to each
row, or four to each OF the six floors
adds as much as twenty per cent to
the book capacity of the new wing
over that of the old wing.
