Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzv.
the muslrat lady housekeeper Of the

asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy.
"A little like it," said Uncle WigeiIy.
Poor little Muzzo. She and the other
two kittens ran off after they had
soiled their mittens. eating cherry pie
when their mother, Mrs. Purr. was not
at home"
1T is very good Of you to 20 look

"Oh, ] just love TO do things like
that spoke the rabbit gentleman.
Wei, good-by. I'll see II I can't find
the second kitten now"
Away started the rabbit gentleman
over the fields and through the woods,
looking on all sides for the second lost
kitten. whose name was Muzzo.
Where are you, kittie?" called Uncle
Wiggily. Where are you, Muzzo? Come
TO me! Never mind If your mittens are
soiled by cherry pie Juice. I'll find
way to clean them"
But no Muzzo answered. Uncle Wig

and in the tree tops. for sometimes
kitty cats climb trees, you know: but
no Muzzo could he find. Then Uncle
Wiggily walked a little farther, and

rabbit gentleman.

Wagtail, the goat boy.

'I'll get an empty tomato cam" spoke
Billie. I know where there Is one, for

the paste. Just before you came along"
Goats like to eat paper off tomato
cans, you know, because the paper is
stuck on with sweet paste, and that is
as good to goat children as candy is to
you.
I'll go get the tomato cam" said
Billie, 'and you can make a fire. Uncle
Wiggily"
And then what?" asked the rabbit
Then we will melt some snow, and

Soon Uncle Wiggily made fire. Back

the soft-shell bulbs before they
have advanced far enough to pro-
sluce new bulbs. AS soon as. the
new plants are 12to l6inches high,
during October and November in

the owner should pillow his land
fairly deep, being careful to turn
under all the onion tops. Aplow

operation. Disking the land be-
fore it is plowed also helps to bury
the tops. Fhis method willget rid
Of the plants which have grown
from. the soft-shell bulbs.
It now remains to get rid of'the
next crop that may be expected
from the slower terminating, hard
shell bulbs during the coming
spring and summer. Next spring,
tbeSsfore, the field should be plant
ed>in a cultivated crop, corn. in
check rows being best. Another
shallow blowing may be necessary
in the spring, but ordinarily a disk
ing or two previous to planting will
suffice. From-the tims the farmer
is able to 60 on hiss.lands in the
spring he should make every effort
to. keep the garlic from making top
growth. The best way to do this
is to cut of the tops witha cultiva-
tor ofthe sweep'type.
There stiA.may be a few plants
carried over by hard-shell bulbs
which have been very slow in
terminating. The. farmer, there
fore, should be prepared to repeat
the deep blowing late in the fall
and use eleanly cultivated crop

which can be carried out withlittle
extra labor and expense, has Prov

WASHINGTON. March c2.-Cnfounded
templated by Germany through the good
offices OF the United States are UNDER
stood to have greatly displeased Prcsi-
dent Wilson. This is due to two reasons,
the first being tina such reports might
prevent the belligercnt nations from
making genuine suggestions for the ini-
tiation OF peace negotiations at some fu-
ture date. and. second. that the false
construction placed on a routine report
By Ambassador Gerard might easily
create the impression In Berlin that dis
torted versions of diplomatic correspond
encc betwcen the Ambassador and the
state Department are liable to find their
way into American newspapers.
The actual facts concerning Ambassa-
dor Gerard's report. which gave rise to
stories published In certain New fork
newspapers, are as follows: Mr.. Gerard.
In explaining why he did not wish to
leave his post AT this time. said that
there were many important questions
occupying the attention Of the embassy.
and informed the Department of inter-
views he mad had with Dr. Won Both
mann-IIollucg. the Imperial Chancellor.
Peace gossip. which for months has been
common in German onicialdom. was
commented on by Mr.. Gerard In this
despatch AZ IL had been in previous
dispatches.
From the viewpoint OF the White
House the embarrassing feature to tho
Administration is not 30 much the false
reports concerning Ambassador icrard's
communication but the fact that the
receipt of Il despatch from the Arnsri-
can ambassador should become a matter
Of n.wspa per comment within a shoit
time after II reached here.
The White House denied the reports
to-day In the following statement:
president Wilson. through Secretary
Tumul,y. to-day authorized a denial OF
stories appearing In papers TO the effect
that the purpose OF Ambassador Ger
ards remaining in Berlin was to await
Germany's proposal for peace There Is
no justification for that inference being
drawn"
The State Department made public
the following
ANY statement that the German Gov
