and n row of hooks was placed in the
partition at the end as well as those
on the sides. Mctcalf noticed that the
odor was more pronounced toward the
rear wall OF the closet.
Then he got his idea lie decided
that a blind door was located in the

STONE EXPOSES RAILROADS
FINANCIAL TRICKS
How to get rich by tricks in rail-
road finance will be explained by
Warren S. Stone, chief of railway en-
gineers, at wage hearing in federal
building. Stone announced today
he is going to the bottom of why the
railroads say they haven't got money
enough to pay more wages to their
engine workers.
Measures have already been TAX
en- by the issuance of fictitious cap
italizatiOn to absorb the increased
work and productive efficiency Of our
children and our children's children, "
he said, "and there is no hope for
the engineer and fireman and other
classes of railroad employees to secure
equitable participation in the fruits Of
their work so long as the present
financial control and administration
of railroads is unregulated,
Eve shall show that if gains from
past productive efficiency had been
properly conserved enormous wage
advances could be granted to all
classes of railroad employees, both or
gained and Unorganized, without
prejudice to the interests of the own
ers Of the property. Proceeds from
munifcent grants Of land by the gov
eminent we're not properly used.
Their value was capitalized by fiOta-
ton of fictitious securities.
1--WE shall show that all the fore
going conditions exist and shall con-
clude by showing that despite the
financial excess of railroads in the
past they are still financially able to
pay fair increases in wages"

WOULDN'T WORK THAT TIME
For Once It Was a cineh That Sign,
Ordinarily InfaIlible, Was Doomed
to Failure.

The talk topic turned to signs, to-
kens and things like that the other
afternoon, when Congressman Henry
T. Heigeson of North Dakota contrib
uted the following anecdote:
One day Jones was rambling along
the boulevard, when he was hailed by
his friend Smith. While talking about
war, crops and mosquitoes, Jones no
ticed that Smith continually rubbed
the palm of his hand.
What in the world is the matter
with your hand?" he finally demanded.
you have been rubbing and scratch
ing it ever since we stopped here.
The palm itches like blaZes," an
swered Jones. They say that 1t is
a sure sign that you are about to get
some money"
UNI" thoughtfully returned Smith.
as great light suddenly dawned upon
him. Here is where you get wise to
the fact that there is nothing in signs

DON'T GIVE UP WHEAT CROP
Some Farmers Discouraged Because
Of lateness in Getting Threshing
Done-Disk Is Handy Tool.

In all probability some who planned
to sow wheat this fall are about to
give 1t up owing to the lateness of the
season in getting the threshing done.
To be sure, it is better to plow early
for wheat IL you can. but II you can
not, then do the next best thing-plow
as soon as possible. 1t would help in
getting a good seeded to double-disk
the ground before plowing. then plow
five or six inches deep and follow with
disk and corrugated crusher alternate
ly several times. The most fields now
have quite a crop of weeds and grass
which will tend to make air spaces in
the seeded. Wheat will not hold well
through the winter in a seedbed that
contains air spaces. Most people do
not think of a disk as in any way
connecting with compacting the
ground, but it is more effective in
filling in air spaces than any other
tool.
What about your seed wheat? Is it
good? II it isn't, better sell it and
buy of someone who threshed early
and has good seed. The difference in
price would be well spent.

WAY TO FAsTEN WIRE FENCE
1t Is Not Desirable to Place Staples
or Hoops in Green concrete-Sim-
Pile Plan Is Described.

There are numerous methods OF at.
taching wire fencing to concrete posts.
Some makers place staples or wire
loops in the green concrete: others
make holes in the posts. The former
method is not desirable because the
fastener cannot be located exactly
where the wire of the fencing will
come when the post is set in the
ground; then, too, the fastener will
eventually rust or break of and will
thus injure the looks of the post.
On the other hand, holes through the
posts weaken them, and therefore this
method is, in general, unsatisfactory.
The simplest. easiest. and cheapest
way of fastening wire fence to a con-
crete post is by encircling the post
with wire one size less than the cor
responding wire in the fence proper
and by twisting this wire around the
strand of the fence. This is done in
two ways. The fastening wire ia

placed around the post, twisted upon
itself and then to the fence wire; or
one end of the fastening wire is twist
ed around the fence wire. and the free
end is then carried around the post
and twisted on the other side to the
same wire. Either plan is good. but
care must be taken to draw the fasten-
ing wire tight, or else stock trying to
get through the fence may raise or
crush down the fencing with their
heads. II any trouble is experienced.
the post should be roughened at the
fastening point with cold chisel.
Expansion and contraction Of the
fence due to heat and cold are cared
for by the tension curves or kinks"
in the woven-wire fencing. and no fear
may be felt in drawing the fastening
wires as tight as necessary. Wooden
mailing strips should never be en-
bedded in the posts, for moisture will
swell the wood and crack the con-
crete.

STORING CABBAGE IN FIELD
Location of Storage Pit Should Be on
Ridge, Well Drained and GraveIIy
Soil as Possible.

CBy E. +. MKUNE, Colorado Agricultur-
al College)
In choosing a site for a storage pit,
select a ridge, well drained and as
gravelly a soil as possible. The pit
should be six to ten inches deep, the
length and width depending upon the
amount to be stored. 1t is well to
have it wide enough to accommodate
three to five heads on the bottom row.
In harvesting the heads. pull up by
the roots. Break off only the dead
or diseased leaves. and fold the re-
manning leaves over the head as much
as possible to protect them. Over
ripe or cracked heads should not be
stored. The heads are placed in the
pit with their heads down and roots
up. The second layer is also placed
heads down between the roots of the
first layer. 1t is well not to have
more than two layers, on account of
he weight having a tendency to crush
the lower layer.
When the cabbages are put in place
they are covered with layer of earth.
When cold weather comes, straw or
manure can be added.
Cabbages can often be kept better
IN pits than in common cellars.

VALUE OF THE TREES
Enhance the Beauty of Land
scape and Architecture.
Plants Improve Climate, Conserve
Soil and Moisture, and Every
Effort Should Be Put Forth to
Provide Ample Protection.

Trees are inviting and encouraging
to outdoor life. 1t is partly for this
advantage that many city people who
have the means seek homes in the
suburbs and farther in the country.
There they can enjoy trees in their
native splendor and fill their lungs
with the pure oxygen generated by
the abundance of plant life.
The commercial value of the tree
should appeal to those who are not
touched by its esthetic value. Every
man should realize that tree bor-
dered farm or city street means an
increase in value of the property with
the growth of the trees.
Trees improve climate, conserve the
soil and the moisture, and every effort
should be put forth to protect and
save the trees we now have and more
trees of the right kind should be
planted.
Tree surgery is a profession which
has grown to considerable importance,
and in this way sick and diseased
trees are being restored to health.
Briefly. tree surgery consists in cut
ting out the rotted parts of the trees
and filling the cavities thus made with
some substance which will make the
cavity water and air tight. Most Of
these cavities are the results of i'm
proper trimming. A stub is left where
branch has been amputated This
stub. into which the living sap no
longer flows, becomes saturated with
moisture, rot spores become active,
the stub soon rots of, leaving the be-
ginning OF a pocket or cavity, which
is gradually increased by the action of
the rot spores and boring insects.
Then the birds and squirrels begin to
build their nests in these cavities and
help to increase them until almost the
entire center of the tree trunk has
been destroyed. Unless this rotting
is stopped the strongest and most
magnificent tree will be destroyed.
The proper way to proceed is to
clean out the entire cavity, using
chisel or gouge to remove all the rot
ted wood. Then wash the interior of
the cavity with a solution Of copper
sulphate made by dissolving in
wooden vessel. one-fourth of pound
