HAPPINESS

This is the glad, "make-hap-
Ply" season of the year. AL
though happiness is not bought
nor sold, yet it is easily found
in surroundings where there's
an atmosphere of contentment.
In making others happy, we
ourselves find happiness. All,
there's the secret. And how
well that could be applied right
now. and how far-reaching it's
good effects would be.
When one thinks how little
it takes to make a child happy,
it is hard to ina CINE many a lit
tie tot getting up early Christ
mas morning to find only an
empty stocking.
A writer has said, 1.-THE great
blessings of mankind are within
US, and within our reach, but
we shut our eyes, and. like peo-
pie in the dark, we fall foul upon
the very thing we search for,
without finding it," He means
that we have happiness within
our grasp and don't realize it
Let US hope, however, that
everybody will at one time or
another try to make some one
else happy.

Cabbage Storing Is Simple.

lie. A. kirkpatrick, Minnesota station.]
Cabbage storing is rather simple and
easy. The shrinkage is small. A cheap
ly constructed bank or hillside root
cellar or a basement under almost
any farm building is the only store
house necessary. This should not be
too dry and should be a place which
could be kept at a temperature of
about 40 Or so degrees in the early
part of the season. This Is often ac-
complished by opening the doors to let
in the cool night air and closing them
to keep out the warmer air during the
remainder of the day. Later. Of course,
the doors must be kept closed continu-
Ousiy.
In storing most growers place the
heads in a cellar with all leaves and
roots attached. Many market garden
ers have a better plan. They. cut off
the stalk as though preparing the
heads for market. but leave two or
three rough leaves to protect the more
tender parts. They then pack in or
binary cabbage crates and rack these
crates up. leaving a gangway every
third or fourth tier for air circulation.
This work is not particularly diff
cult and will certainly pay the grower
well if 1t increases the selling price of
his production eight or ten fold. For
the last few years it has been market
ed and harvested at from S. to $3.50
q ton. The purchaser has stored it and
,old 1t during the late winter for $50
n $50 n tor.

And breathed a sign of sweet relief
To find her treasures all were there.

A sugar plum,
A wad of gum,
A hair-pin (bent,)
A copper cent,

With broken crook,
A safety-pin,

A sachet bag.

Would love to buy if she but had

Tripped on to seek another store

CONTROL OF INSECT PESTS.
Enormous Losses From These and
From FUNGUS Diseases.

Enormous Losses From These and
From Fungous Diseases.
Prepared by New York State College of
Agricultural
The annual loss to New York farmers
from insects and fungous diseases Is
greater than the amount of money ap-
prOpriated by the legislature for carry
ing ON the business of the state for a
year. Startling as this statement may
seem, it is borne out by careful expert
ments and estimates, according to the
authorities at the New York State Col
lege of Agriculture. The loose smut of
crop each year. the loss in 1914 from
this disease alone being more than
$1,OOO,O00. A large proportion Of this
loss in various crops might be prevent
ed by the practice of known methods
of prevention or control. For example,
experiments have shown that the loss
In potatoes from blights and insects
averages 100000 900 a year, which
might be prevented by an expenditure
of SIS an acre for spraying. .
The insects Injurious to plants are
divided into two classes-chewing in
sects and. sucking insects. If the for
mer class are to be combated the fruit
and foliage must. be sprayed with a
poison that will kill the insects when
they eat 1t; for sucking insects, which
do not eat the outer tissues of the
plant, but suck out the sap, a substance
must be used that will kill them when
it hits them, such as whale oil soap or
a nicotine solution.
In the case of fungous diseases, pre-
vention rather than control is usually
the method to be employed. This is
generally accomplished by spraying
the plants before the disease appears
with a mixture poisonous to the fun
gus. The spraying must be done at the
proper stage in the development of the
plant and under proper weather condi-
tons. In some cases it is. necessary to
go farther back than the plant itself
and treat the seed that is to be used.
Certain methods of cultivation and Of
soil treatment are also effective against
some fungous diseases.

-rJRING GARDEN VEGETABLES

How to Lay Up In Cellars or Il a Pit to
Keep Over Winter.
ThA Massachusetts Agricultural col.
lege gives the following advice about
keeping garden vegetables over win
ter:
First, the vegetables themselves
should be Of good quality, free from
disease or bruises; second, they must
not be put in too early or piled SO that
any heating will take place: third, they
must not be subjected to an ,atmos-
phere which is SO dry that it will cause
whiting and thereby spoil their quality.
1t Is possible for the heme gardener to
keep root crops, potatoes, cabbage and
squash for some months, in most house
cellers with the, exercise Of some pre-
cautions, even where COO, cellar is
not provided. Vegetables, should be
storSG as far. away, from the heater as
possible. excepting ia.rcelIars where
freezing occurs. { If there ia q cement
floor it is best to pack the root crops in
boxes Or barrels, and COW the top
with clean sand or sffted soil in which
there is not much organic matter. A
covering of about 1.-TWO inches is suf-
ficient. In case either the commercial
grower or the home gardener lacks a
storage place there Is an alternative
which is available to almost every a
who has a garden. This is the 'vege-
table pit The essentials are: First.
a well drained piece of land cOnven-
iently located; second, some material
to cover the pit after cold weather
comes. The crops which can be sue
cessfully handled In this way are
beets, carrots, parsnips. turnips. winter

bages. The outdoor vegetable pit is
made in the following manner: On the

ed. Plan to have the pit extend north
and south. The soil should be remOv-
ed eight to twelve Inches deep the
width Of the pit and half of the earth
thrown out on either side. The bottom
of the pit should be level and the sides
cut straight down. The root crops are
then piled on the ground the full width

ridge about two and a half feet deep
at the center. Rarely will the home
gardener need a pit more than six to
eight feet long. and 1t is wisdom fol-
him to mix roots stored so that al
sorts can be obtained at n end. The
commercial grower will do well to use
one pit for each kind Of vegetable
stored. The roots should not be piled
before the weather is cool. They
should be dry and covered with about
two inches of soil to prevent frost in
Jury or willing. AS the weather grows
colder and preferably after the frs
soil covering has frozen nearly to, thu
vegetables more covering should b.
applied to a thickness Of two to f0ul
