When Police Captain Patrick Cos

of DObbs Ferry loudly and joyfully
disturbing the peace Of the historic
hamlet, he said: My friend, you're
drunk, and I'll have to run you in"
The stranger drew a tattered Bible
from his pocket and, leading the cap

with fervor: First Timothy, five,
twenty-three: Drink no longer water,
but use a little wine for thy stOlnach's
sake and thine often intirmities.'"
The captain scratched his head and
thought. Finally he said: What were
you drinking"

MULCHING IS GOOD PRACTICE
Keeps Down Weeds and Conserves
Moisture-PIan Is Most Excellent
in a Dry Country.

Mulching grapes is a good way Of
keeping down weeds and holding the
moisture in the soil, but once begun 1t
should be continued. Unless n uses
the very coarsest lowland hay there is
no m%ulching that will last for two
years, and so it is a good plan to re-
new the supply every year. The rea-
son mulching must be kept on after
once starting with it is because 1T
brings the roots to the surface, and
after that is done they must be kept
covered. But where grapes are raised
In a dry country and the patch Is small
the mulch plan Is about the best way
Of raising them.

CARING FOR RHUBARB
Something Wrong if Satisfactory
Crop Is Not Obtained.
Apply Remedy This Year and Pre-.
vent Repetition Of Same Trouble
Next Season-Supply Of Fer
tilizer Is Necessary.

How did your rhubarb bed do this
teaSon? Were the stalks short or
slim? Were the leaves small and
ragged looking? Did it turn a sickly
color and the plants wither or dwin-
die away in the middle of the sum
mer? If you did not have Il satisfac-
tory crop of this widely admired pie
plant, something was wrong. A rem
edy is needed, and since 1t is not
expensive or difficult to procure, sup
pose we apply it now and prevent a
repetition of the same trouble next
year.
1t requires no particular kind of
magic to induce this plant to grow,
and the earlier it produces the more
valuable 1t is for either market or
household use. l find the greatest thing
for rhubarb is plenty Of good stable
manure put on at this season of the
year, says a writer in Nm exchange.
1t is an excellent idea to cover the
earth surrounding the roots to a
depth of four inches. This not only
enriches the soil, but protects the
roots and assists In producing an early
growth.
l pack the manure down close
to the earth, for l think this helps to
make the soil sour, and also makes II
more wet, which, OF course, Will cause
heavier freezing in severe weather
a little straw with the manure will
act as a mulch and produce better re,
suits. A very slight sprinkle of salt
will do the beds good, but be careful
not to overdo this.
II the bed is of long standing, dis
UP the roots, or at least a portion OF
them, and reset them in new eartl
in a new locality, say about three
or four feet apart. Set in good
strong roots, and be careful to have
the root crown well covered with soil
Manure this new bed literally, ant
1t will pay you even next season fol
your trouble, but from then on, for a
least five years, with liberal manuring
it will yield eXcellently and the quail
tty will be fine.

WASTE INVOLVED III ILLNESS
Serious Matter to Which Far Too Lit.
tie Attention Has Seen Given
by the Country.

A spectacular event often attracts
public attention. while routine matters
of larger magnitude go unoticed. For
instance. the whole country was re-
Gently scutely conscious of Il question
of wages amounting to S50,000,Oo0. 1t
was an important question and the
sum involved was vast.
But take another question Involving
wages-the question of the illness of
workers. Public health bulletin No,
&c of thG public health service of the
United States estimates on the BASIS
of Inquiries here and abroad that the
average Industrial worker loses about
nine days ii year on account of Illness
This amounts to Il loss TO the work.
crs OF the country, it is estimated, OF
S00,0OO,OOO Il year. If by better san
itation and safety devices the time
could be reduced one-half. there WOulC
be a saving OF 100000, 600. Yet it i,

CLEANLINESS is BIG FACTOR
Layers-keep MISUNDERSTANDING
Eggs for Home Use.

An important factor in poultry sue
cess is cleanliness. Arrange plenty of
clean nests for the layers. Thin-shelled
and dirty eggs should be kept for the
home table and the clean, uniform
eggs-and they nearly all should be
this if proper care is taken-ShOuld be
got on to some other table just as
soon as possible. If you once secure a
string of customers who know the vast
difference between q good egg and a
one-month-old, you can keep these Gus
toners just as long as YOU keep your
product up to the standard. But no
matter how good nor how fresh the
eggs, these customers will fail you II
you offer them dirty eggs.
1t is well to know the age of the
eggs sold, but unless you can put them
in the hands of the user the day after
they r laid, do not put the date on
the egg, as most users had rather "go
it blind" than use n that by the date
on the shell is even two weeks old.

Decimal System for England.

According TO the British and Colo

now Il well-organized movement in
Great Britain to secure the immdiate
adoption in that country of the -deci-

The handicap in securing new for~

KICKING cow OUT OF HElFER
Hair on Udder in MiIking-Clip
Twice Each Year.

Leaving the long hairs on the udder
is a good way to make a bad kicking
cow out of a heifer that has the max
ing of a fine cow. When the mixer
clasps the teat during the milking
process, the long hair surrounding the
upper part of the teat is included, and
as each stream is drawn these hairs
are given a hard, vigorous pull. 1t is
40 wonder, then, that the young COW
protests with a lively kick.
A common pair Of clippers, such az
are used on horses, is the best for clip
ping the hair from the cows udder.
The clipping should extend over the
flank and thigh on the right side.

DIFFICULT TO PROCURE HELP
Serious Problem on Farms Where

In many localities the farmer who
milks many cows finds it the hardest
to procure help. Is this because the
