WINTER GARDEN IN CELLAR
Rhubarb Will Do Well With Tempera-
ture of Fifty Degrees-other Vege-
tables Can Be Cultivated.

Several garden vegetables can be
successfully grown in the cellar dur
ing the winter and will furnish fresh
material for the table when such
things are most appreciated. Rhubarb
and asparagus roots are easily forced
into growth. Take up vigorous roots
just before freezing, then allow them
to, freeze and remain in that condition
for two weeks. Put them in boxes of
earth in cool cellar and they almost
Immediately begin to furnish sup
ply of beautifully blanched stalks. A
temperature of about fifty degrees is
desirable. Rhubarb will do we'll at
even lower heat and should be kept
in absolute darkness.
Cellar windows that face east and
south are good places to grow lettuce
that has been previously started out
side. Roots of parsley taken from the
garden will thrive and furnish sup
ply for salads and garnishes all win
ter. Clumps of chives are also easily
grown. These are doubly welcome IN
winter for soups and anything requir-
ing mild flavor of onion.
Spearmint plants will grow abund-
antly in a cellar heated by furnace
or they may be taken to the kitchen
window The fresh leaves are much
better than dried ones for making
mint sauce or anything requiring this
particular flavor. Belated pepper and
egg plants taken up before frost and
potted will continue to bear fruit all
winter if kept in warm room.

BY eating the weeds they make more
room for the cultivated crops and in
crease the supply Of plant food and
water available for them by prevent
ing the weeds from using it. No
other class of live stock, with the ex-
ception of goats, will eat as many
weeds as sheep. BY converting these
waste products into wool and mutton
they are source of profit to the
owner.

better it will be for him. Any extra
care and feed given to the flock gen.
orally yields the greatest returns.
Sheep will increase the fertility OF
the soil if they are handled properly.
To do this they should not be per
mitted to crop off the grass too close
ly, which they will do if the pasture is
overstocked or if they, are kept too
long on one field. Sheep manure, with
one exception, is the most valuable of
all farm manures. 1t is thinly and
evenly scattered over the ground and
does not produce rank growth in
spots of the pasture as do other ma
nures. The manure is also worked
into the soil by the sharp hoofs of
the sheep, so that it is not washed
away but becomes available as plant
food. This quality has we'll earned
for sheep the title of golden hoof."
In England, land which during Queen
Elizabeth's reign produced only six
bushels of wheat per acre has been
made to yield 80 bushels at the pres
ent time by the use of sheep. Better
cultural methods may be the cause of
a portion of this increase. but without
doubt the sheep are responsible for
the greater part of it.
Another equally important way that
sheep increase the productivity of the
land is in their destruction of weeds.

s. s. SEWARD
 LANDS FREIGHT
LOCOMOTIVE AND LUMBER Is PART OF THE CARGO
 FOR SEWARD.

The frcightcr Seward. of the Alas ka Steamship Company, Captain Johnson. arrived here yesterday after noon about I:S0 with a 35 ton switch ing locomotive for this place, 100000 feet of bridge lumber and about 400 cases of dynamite. The Seward had nearly 800 tons of freight on her decks when she sailed out of Seattle this trip. some of it being in the shape of dump cars for Anchorage but the most being machinery for Thane and Sheep creek, The freight washed or the decks in a recent storm in South, eastern Alaska waters consisted of about eight tons of small machinery for the mines at Thane and Sheep creek. The story of the washing away was told in this paper before.
 From here the Seward sails for Anchorage and will unload altogether about 2,OOO tons of railroad material, consisting in the main of 20 dump cars, much lumber and several hun dred tons of 70 pounds rails. When asked whether the Seward would bring back the two locomotives left at Anchorage by the Sinaloa for this place, Captain Johnson said he knew nothing about it but if it did the Seward would not return for about two weeks as he figures that it will take at least 10 days to unload the freight for Anchorage on the scows,

MILLS CREEK NOTES

J. Burns, who went out on pros pecting trip with Henry Russell and Y. A. Mace about three weeks ago, returned to the city on the car Sat urday afternoon. They have been out in the Mills country and Messrs Mace and Russel will remain at that place for the winter while Mir. Burns will leave on the Northwestern for pe States.
 Robert Michaelson, who has been with the Road Commission for most of the summer, returned to his prop erty on Mills creek few days ago. Mr. Burns brought in a sample of pieces of gold taken from the Mich aelson property that looks very good.
 II. A. Schemeser, he says, has a splendid piece of hydraulic property out there and is making good wages, working by himself. Mir. Schemeser is putting in a Hume that will take him till next summer to finish, after which the output of gold will increase considerably.
 Fred Matz is also doing well and it is thought that he may sell half in- terest in his property to get some one to help him do development work.
 Jack Renner returned a few days ago from his quartz property on Colorado creek, accompanied by Mir. and Mrs. w. c. Shook, who have been with him this summer. The Shocks left for their home in Sunrise soon after arriving at Mills creek.

now to investigate these societies,
some of which are obvious swindles,
and to keep from the streets the
young girls who sell cheap pamphlets
at penny each in the name of some
cause likely to touch the sympathies
Of the public.
Recently young girl was arrested
for blocking the passage of several
men on the sidewalk and thrusting
pamphlets In their faces. When
brought before the magistrate. she
could tell nothing about the society
by which she was employed: knew
nothing about the money she turned
In and had never seen the manager
She usually sold about 300 pamphlets
week, which brought in six dollars
and received, as a bonus, about $3.50
or S175, which paid her expenses.
She had been selling papers about two
months.

PINE IMPORTATION

HEARINGS TO BE GIVEN IN WASH.
INoToN NEXT WEEK TO
DISCUSS 1T.
Special to The NeWs.

.s'Washlngton, JAN. 29.-Because OF
the danger to American nursery stock
public hearing; will be held Febru-
airy 2. 1915, at the Department of Ag-
,riculture to discuss a proposed quar-
antine on the importation of all pines
from Europe. During the past year
imported pines have been found to be
infested with the European pine shoot
moth. In Europe this is one of the
principal insect enemies of pines and
is especially destructive in nurseries,
young forests, and ornamental plan
tations. 1t kills Or Injuries the young
twig growth and deforms the to
serious extent. .
In this country the insect seems to-
be still confined to. the European pines
in Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts
New Jersey. New York, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island and West Vir-
ginia. Strenuous efforts are already
being made to stamp it out and 1t Il
believed that these will be successful
If no other importations of infested
stock are permitted.
The white pine blister rust has al
ready resulted in the exclusion OF all
fve-leafed pines from Europe and
Asia. The proposed quarantine will
extend this prohibition to all classes
of pines from Europe. No restriction
is proposed on the importation of pine
seed.

: NEW WAR MACHINERY.

Petrograd. Jan. 29-The German
army In front of Warsaw Is using
some new offensive machinery in its
trench warfare with excellent results.
Among these new weapons are some
very powerful land mines, which are
set at night by sappers and exploded
later by electricity. So-called "tor-
pedoes" and improved hand grenades,
are also used.
The torpedoes are really bombs Of
formidable size, which explode on con-
tact and spread death-dealing frag-
ments of jagged iron, at the same time
poisoning the air for twenty yards
around with deadly gas. These are
hurled silently from a sort of billista
or catapult which has useful range
of about $50 feet.
The hand grenades resemble in ap-
pearance large sky rocket. A tin
canister with a pointed head is fixed
on a stick or handle about two feet
long. The canister is filled with bull
let's and an explosive charge fired by
contact on the pointed head The
grenade is thrown by hand, the stick
serving both as handle and as a
tan which fnsures the pointed head
striking first and exploding the con.
tents. They are used in infantry
charges during the few moments when
the rifles cease firing and the bayonets
are not yet within striking distance.
