It's Valuable Now.

When William Jessup, who formerly
operated a wooden mill in Princeton,
died 20 years ago, he left among his
effects a large keg of Russian red dye
stuff. Each housekeeping time his son
in-law and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles F. Woods, had to shift it
around. Woods had tried to sell it
to wholesalers in vain; they didn't
need it.
"Whatll we do with this?' asked
Mr.. Woods when they cleaned house
last summer.
pile it on the trash heap and burn
1t: I'm tired of looking at it," said
Mrs. Woods.
Being a dutiful husband, Mr.. Woods
obeyed.
Now the Russian dye is said to be
understandable at any price, and the
amount that Mr.. Woods burned would
have netted at this time from $500 to
81 1000.
The losers philosophically agreed
that it's nc use to cry over split
milk and have dispensed with any
worry over what might have been"

KEEPING HORSES NECK WELL
Much May BE Done to Prevent Sore
Shoulders by Good Fitting Col
lar and Hames.

A good collar, fitting the horses
neck, and names adjusted to fit the col.
lar without too great down and side
draft will do much to prevent sore
shoulders, says DR.. NJ. H. Reynolds,
veterinarian at the Minnesota college
of agriculture. Sore shoulders cal BIO
prevented easily by a little are at the
right time.
Collars must be kept clean to avoid
sores. Many cases of sore neck are
caused also by loose names saving
back and forth until the top OF the
shoulder is raw.
Some horses have abnormally
shaped shoulders. In this case. the
agricultural college veterinarian sug.
gests DIR. j. c. C~urryer's plan of soak
ing the collar a day or two in water
just before it is used on the horse.
While soft from soaking, the collar
will adjust itself to the horses shout
ders.
Prevention" he says, SIS easier
than cure" but there are several sim
pie remedies recommended. White
lead ground in oil is good. Stove
backing is a useful remedy. 1t forms
a smooth surface over the sore, thus
preventing chatting, and has mildly
astringent properties"

Plant Trained to Three Stems.

soil, the transplanting being done in
such a manner as to insure the mini
mum check in growth.
Two or three tra~nsplantings while
in pant beds are essential to secure
short, strong, stalky plants with a
compact, fibrous root system.
In transplanting we move a chunk
of earth about four inches square with
each plant. We make rows three and
a half or four feet apart and space
the plants Is to IS inches in the row.
Each plant is confined to a single
branch and trained to a stake. Strong
twine is used to secure the plant to
the stake, one such support being
used just below each cluster.
The string is first made secure to
the stake, a single knot will usually
answer and then the stalk inclosed,
q double knot being necessary in this
case. Ample allowance should be made
for subsequent growth of stalks.
A lateral will appear at each leaf
joint and these must be removed at
once in order that the entire strvngth
OF the plant be directed into The
growing of the single stalk and the
development of the fruit cluster there
on.
In u w experience we have
found that this method of culture has
decided advantage over other meth
DDS. First, a gain is made in securing
early maturity Of fruits; second, the
fruit is larger and finer in quality.
While there are not so many indi-
vidual fruits as where permitted to
branch freely, there is a gain in size
and a very decided gain in the number
of perfect specimens.
The fruit being held suspended, the
influence Of the suns rays reaches
every portion of it's surface, resulting
in higher and more perfect coloring

PORTABLE CRIB IS FAVORED
Great Convenience in Feeding Hogs

Many Extra Eteps.

Portable corncribs holding from 100
to 200 bushels are a great convenience

cially when the animals are being
kept in a distant field. Even when
they are fed in yards, the portable
cribs will save the feeder many steps.
If the cribs are built on skids, the
feeding may be distributed in summer
so as to keep the feeding lots more
wholesome and the manure better dis
tributed. Many farmers use a wagon,
but when left standing out in all kinds
of weather, the wagon box soon goes
