Of the Identification Of the body Of
Harvey Herman had not been received
late tonight at the home in WestvIlle
of his foster parents, Hr. and Mrs.

that, from the description Of the articles
found on his body, there was little
doubt that he was the missing man.
She said that she knew Of no certain
reason for his failure TO keep the ap-

Todd. in New York City last Sunday.
She was inclined 10 think that his
slender finances and the fact that he
was finding his preliminary marriage

him to conclude not TO undertake the
step.

Concerning Rhubarb.
From the Columbus Journal.

Here are some "rhubarb recipes for
spring days" They are for fritters
and pie. And their very sound puts
a smile on life. There are some people
who affect to look down on rhubarb
as a sort of plebeian dish, unit for
patrician palates. Such people defraud
themselves. They revel in their own
prejudices. Rhubarb is the very es-
sence of spring. q happy composite of
the early sunshine and the song of the
robin. OF course, hard hearts cannot
see 1t thus. for rhubarb was made for
gentle souls.
But the fritters and the pie are not
SO much the melody of spring as the
sauce, when brought forth by a grace,
q smile and a sweet thought II IS
these that awaken the morning sun
in the plant and melt the dews and
start the birds to singing. Prejudice
and vanity will never do it. That ruddy
glow in the sauce is the reflection of
the heart, and If il is not there the
heart is not In it. Oh, there be rhu-
barb sauces that are an insult t.
spring and make the appetite banker
for kraut and turnips, but the real
sauce, from which the spirit of the
opening year sings it's song of faith
and love-that Is the sauce that turns
rugged life into tender sentiment and
changes hunger into delight.

cred in planning a succession Of crops.
In some sections three or four crops
can be grown on the same land each
year. while in other sections two crops
are all that can be grown to advantage.
When a crop is harvested early in the
season and 1t is not practicable to
plant another vegetable for two or
three months, the land may be planted
to cowpeas or crimson clover. For ex-
ample. after a crop of early cabbage it
may not be desirable to plant another
vegetable crop until late summer or
autumn. In this case 1t would be de.
slrable to sow cowpeas or crimson
clover. to be turned under in prepara-
tion for the fall crop.
Rotation of crops is as important in
growing vegetables as in growing field
crops, and the same principles can be
applied. Crop rotation Is important in
checking diseases and insects and In
keeping the soil in good condition.
Where diseases are very severe, the
same crop should not be planted con-
tinuous.y on the same area. Rotation
Of crops is one of the safegua rds
against soil injection.

THE RIGHTS OF A MAR
RIED WOMAN.
Copyright. 1915. by Dr.. Frank orane)

Unless there is a specific agreement
or contract between them, allowing the
wife to engage in q separate business
and keep her earnings for herself, the
husband is always entitled to all the
earnings Of his wife. as well as her
services during marriage.
Such is the law in New York state.
as laid down the other day by Supreme
Court Justice Morschauser.
The lawyers seem to agree that it is
good law: everybody else thinks it is
poor justice.
Which demonstrates anew that law
Is not necessarily Justice; it is estAb-
lished custom. Common law. which is
merely ancient custom. rules. except
where altered by statute.
Thus it happens often that unrighteous
laws oppress US now, simply be-
cause the ignorance and blindness of
a former day have never been set aside.
During the time custom was crstalliz-
ing in England, while the body OF
common law was taking form. narrow
and wrong ideas we're held in matters
of human relations, such as master and
servant and husband and wife.
The advance of intelligence. the
growth of conscience and the enlarge
ment of democratic ideas about the
changed our views on the status OF
woman. This change has been repre-
sented but partially in our legislation.
There still remain in common law
some curious holdovers of outgrown
opinion. This Is one of them.
Formerly a woman in marriage was
presumed to merge her individuality
into that of her husband: hence she
lost her name and took his. Her world
ly goods also became his. The chill
~
against the marriage vow was fatal !;
his was trivial. Her position was llt-
tie better than that of a prize slave.
The steady growth of democracy has
attacked these views The convictlon
has become widespread, especially in
America, that woman is person, q
citizen and human unit quite as much
as man is.
AS such there is no reason (for fol-
lowing custom Is not reason) why sne
should not have her own opinions ana
beliefs, possess property as legally as
men possess property, exercise her CIT
izenship by voting, and do all else that
a human integer has natural rignt
to do.
To claim that this threatens the in
tegrity of the family or detracts from
woman's womanliness has been pretty
well tried out in the arena OF expert
ence; the results show that the eter,
nal feminine" quality does not need
coddline and protection to help it live,
but thrives even better, as all elements
of virtue thrive better, under an en-
vironment of freedom.
Prohibition, restraint, tyranny, sus-
picion and repression are bad for any
body.
A woman ought to be entitled to the
fruits of her own labor. to her prop
erty, and to all her other personal
rights, and protected therein even
against her husband.
A woman is person, not a thing
Let us hope that the attention that
has been called to the law point enun-
ciated by Justice Morschauser may re-
suit in the speedy correction by statute
of a manifest ineQuity.

WHAT TO DO IN THE GARDEN.

may be cultivated when quite wet, but
clay soils should not be stirred when
sticky. Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on the matter of thorough cul-
tivation. If the work is properly done
at the right time there will be little
difficulty In controlling weeds
In cultivating the garden. mall-tooth
cultivators should be used to prevent
ridging or furrowing. A turnplow or
sweep should not be used for cultiva-
ton. unless the land becomes so weedy
that cultivators will not do the work.
Frequent cultivation kills the weeds
between the rows before they become
large, but hand work will be necessary
to keep the soil stirred between the
plants and to keep down weeds in the
row.

ARTIFICIAL BRO0D|NG
BETTER THAN NATURAL
Modern Appliances Have Made Pos

Farms Of the Country.
Chicks Thrive Better in Breeders
Than When Raised by
Mother Hens.
BY REESE v. HICKS.
Copyright. 1852


Before the development of modern
hovers and devices for brooding the
hen was the sole dependence of the
poultry raiser for mothering the young
chicks. AS the hen becomes broody
only when she wishes, and that wish
usually strikes her after she has laid
out her batch of eggs in the late
spring, it would mean that chicks
could be brooded only late in the
spring if we depended solely on her.
Hence, because he could not select the
time when he would brood his chicks,
the poultry raiser in other days had to
allow the hen to control his business
As each hen could care for only linn
ited number of chicks the poultryman
who depended on hens to do his brood
ing was of necessity limited in the
number of hens he carried.
Hens More Care Than Breeders.
Hens demanded more care than mod
ern sanitary hovers ana brooders, as
they broke eggs while Matching. thus
damaging the hatch and requiring care
full watching and attention by their
owner. When a storm Of rain and
wind came UP the perverse hen usually
selected some uncovered spot TO spread
her wings and hover her brood. result
ing in drowned chicks. All these losses
of eggs. chicks and the owners valu-
able time discouraged the raiser who
depended on the undependable hen to
raise and brood his chicks.
But his greatest discouragement came
through the loss of chicks from hen
raising because of lice and mites. The
hen almost without fail gave her
babies lice. If not noticed early the
loss was so heavy as to often Kill on
those not taken by earlier troubles.
The first great advantage Of hovers
and brooders is that they will work any
time The winter is the same as the
spring to them. Thus the poultry
raiser can select s/own season and
control his brooding SO as to get his
flock out in time to produce eggs when
he wants them. Development of mod
ern brooding devices SO that they care
for from 100 to 500 chicks means that
the modern poultryman can raise poul-
try in thousands instead of focks OF a
few dozens at the most, as he formerly
had to do when hens were his depend
ence. The hovers and brooders stay
where they are put, and are not missing
when a rain comes up, or engaged IN
the dewy mornings in dragging their
tender occupants to death through the
wet grass. They are clean and sani-
tary, simple, easily cared for and de-
pendable under all conditions.

March, with its cold, blustery winds.
is gone. and April, the first month OF
the real spring season, Is here. For the
gardener, be he-or she-amateur or
professional, the season is one Of ac-
tivity: there are so many things to be
done, and the time is so short in which
to do them properly. Perhaps the gar
den plot has already been plowed, har-
rowed and laid or: If not, this work
must be done at once If early crops
of crisp, fresh, green vegetables are

patrons. The last of the pruning and
trimming-the annual spring cleanup

Pure Air Essential.

Fresh, pure air to breathe Is of vital
Importance and must be obtainable at
all times, both day and night. The
fresh air is generally allowed to reach
the chicks through strips or curtains
Of muslin, thus evenly distributing it
and preventing drafts. Drafts are to
be avoided with chicks, just the same
as with people. and for the same rea-
son, as they bring on colds and similar
complaints. This air to breathe should
be slightly warm. but not overheated.
Fumes or gases from the heating de.
vice should escape under the hover,
where the chicks must stay when they
want warmth.
As hovers and brooders must be
cleaned out and kept sweet and clean
they should be easily moved and easy
of access in every way. They should
not be complicated or of expensive me
chanical construction. The simpler
their construction the better they will
usually operate and the less time il
will take to care for them

Hovers' Superiority.

Perhaps the best proof of the superb
ority of hovers and brooders over the
hen may be found in the fact that be-
fore these were developed there were
practically no large farms devoted en-
tirely to poultry raising. Today they
dot every state, and are especially nu-
merous in the east, where eggs bring
the best prices. Also there are today
no large farms that do not rely on arti-
fetal brooding for raising their chicks.
Artificial brooding devices do not har-
Dor lice and mites to inflict on their
chicks Should other fowls get among
the chicks and scatter lice and mites
the brooding device can be quickly dis
infected and cleansed, as they are in
animate and will stand strong reme-
dies, while a hen will not.
The successful brooding devices most
widely used today cover a few we'll
defined principles, those that should be
followed to raise not only the largest
numbers Of chicks. but the most rug
ged and healthy ones. A warm. even
temperature radiated down on the
backs of the chicks in a uniform man
ncr all the time Is perhaps the first and
foremost positive rule in brooding
chicks. Too much heat is harmful, and
so is too little. The same may be said
of an uneven heat, now warm enough
and then too little or too much heat.
