WET GRAIN FIELDS
IN EARLY SPRING
First Work Should Be to Provide
Eqress for Any Water That
Has Accumulated.

The first work in the spring, when
the snow begins TO melt, or after
heavy rains, is to let off any water
that accumulates in the low places
in the wheat. No matter how care
fully the dead burrows and outlets
NAV have been made in the fall, there
is more or less to be done in the
spring to provide free egress for the
water.
A few hours work with the hoe and
shovel, after an all-day rain, will often
drain off many gallons of water which
would otherwise soak into the ground
and keep it wet and cold for several
weeks.
In letting off water in the low spots
in the grain fields, commence at the
lower end and make a shallow furro"
with the hoe. 1t is not necessary TO
make a wide or deep ditch. as this
would destroy too much wheat. IL
should be dug just deep enough to
drain off the water.
See that the outlets to the under
drains are open, so that the water can
pass off quickly. This is a very i'm
portant job and is best done by the
farmer himself and not by an inexperi-
enced person. By this method We feel
sure that we save several bushels OF
grain and much grass and clover.

drawn up contracts with Alma Gluck,
Geraldine Farrar and Adeline Genee,
all Of whom happened to be in New
York at that time. These contracts
involved $4,000, sum which she could
not possibly have paid if the next step
in her program had not proved sue
cessful. This step was securing pa

Mrs. Hawkesworth called on a list
OF the most prominent society women
of New York and asked them to sub
scribe to the new series of morning
musicales she purposed giving at the
Plaza hotel. They were to be different
from other musicaies, She assured
them, and her assurance was convinc-
ing. The next thing to do was to
make the musicales different. 1t was
not enough to have Geraldine Farrar
special treat to society folk. Mrs.
Hawkesworth decided on having her
performers dress in costume suited to
the songs they sang. For her first
performance she planned costumes
and songs of the natter style and so
with the aid of the best costumers she
could secure, her stars were dressed
in the white curls and bouffant skirts
of the period of Louis XIV. That sug-
gested the name of the series of en-
n-s~>
lines"-a name which has played no
little part in the subsequent success of
these entertainments. Now the name
"Chanson Crinoline" is known to So
ciety and musical folk all over the
country.

SCARCITY OF FRESH
EGGS ON THE FARM
Trouble May Be Remedied by
Early Matches of PuIIets--
Give Them Good Care.

During the months of October, No
vember and December of each year
there is always more or less scarcity
of fresh eggs, and the prices, in con-
sequence, go up.
This scarcity is due to two things
in general-the molting period for old
hens and the lack of early Matched
pullets.
1t is at this time of the year that
the condition powder and the poultry
food man begins to cry his wares, and
it is surprising to see the business
that he does do.
While we believe in the tonic effects
of a good condition powder or sci
entifically prepared poultry food, we
do not credit these articles with all
that is claimed for them.
They should be used with judgment
"a little goes a great way. To accus-
tom the fowls to them is but to lose
their tonic effect
They are not so much calculated to
make eggs as they are to tone up the
tissues and to keen the appetite. In
that condition the fowl eats more
freely and better assimilates the egg
food that it gets from pure, good grain.
This scarcity of fresh eggs OF the
farm can only be remedied by early
matches of pullets. Pullets Eatched in
March and April, and well grown, VIII
begin laying in the fall, and continue
in the good work right through the
winter The molting hens will again
start up in January, and by February
the combined work of the pullets and
the hens will give good supply of
eggs, and it will be noticed that In
February the market prices for eggs
are on the decline.
The great trick is to get the eggs
during the last three months of the
year, and this can be done by early
pullets given good housing. good feed
and good care.

1t v HIS when the craze for afternoon
dancia 81 had just hit New York that
Mrs. IA w. Hawkesworth made the
mastes u stroke of her business career.
Sever I'll Of the large cafes in New York
had Mgun@ what they called the "the
dansa, N," and if you went into any
one o. IA these places in the late after
noon Before six you would see men
and Mm men tangoing and trotting be-
tweer Wthe tables, indulging in what
they etok pleasure in knowing was
the la Hfst form of amusement Every
one " 10 had the price and who cared
for &. M sort of amusement went to
these flances, and as there are all sorts
of peO Es!e in New York so there was
all sol vs. of dancing. That is one of
the tn Ngs that made these dancing
teas sc rs successful.
Still wyhere were some ultra-conserva-
tive n Nv York people who liked to
dance tai the afternoon who held back
from { NE SNOWY Cafes. Their social
life Ger kered about their ON homes
or the Nlarge hotels. Tea drinking in
the pa kM gardens or Turkish rooms
of the n Mlatial hotels had amused them
other Sc hsons, but it seemed dull when
there y Ms the possibility of dancing.
Mrs. Hawkesworth, part of whose
busines.N it is to feel the pulse of so
ciety, pcHndered over the situation and
then, VI Nth her plans made, she went
to the manager of one of the newly
opened Mind largest hotels of the city

The staked row did no better and,
most of us thought, not as we'll as the
unstaked vines that sprawled over the
16 square feet that each was given, for
the rows and plants were four feet
apart each way.
Cultivation was given the rows as
long as the tops permitted, which was
except to once take the hoe and chop
out few big weeds that had come up
early and escaped the cultivator.
Of course, under the great drought
the ground soon became dry and hard
as cultivation ceased, and the daily
| tramping Of the pickers made it still
worse. During October, when the vines
! were yielding the most, it looked i'm
possible that such a mass of green
tops and fruit should be able to ex-
tract enough moisture from the soil
for their daily needs, which must have
amounted to great deal.
Now for the results: The first bushel
was sold on the eighth of September,
just about two months after the plants
were set. BY the fifteenth we were
picking two bushels per day; by the
twentieth, three bushels, and this was
about the average for the rest of the
season.
Parties who had stopped buying,
firing of the little stuff they had been
getting, renewed their orders.
We then doubled the price, and sold
every tomato we could pick.
We sold direct to the consumer.
In ALL the quarter acre produced
$125 in round figures, without counting
some small lots we sold after frost.
Some of the green ones we kept till
in December. When killing frost
came there were bushels and bushels
of green tomatoes of all sizes still on
the vines and growing right along
after three months without rain.
After the first light frost we picked
20 bushels of marketable size and
stored them away.
A great many Of these tomatoes
weighed a pound. Some believe the
Ponderosa is rough. deny it. 1t was
easy to find perfect specimens with
out crease in their big tops.
AS for productiveness, l have never
seen a variety that would beat them.
have counted a dozen pound tomatoes
at one time on a single vine, beside
many smaller ones.
