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
tIizer Is Necessary.

How did your rhubarb bed do this
season? 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 a satisfac-
tory crop of this widely admired pie
plant, something was wrong. A rem
edy is needed, and since it is not
expensive or difficult to procure. sup
pose we apply it now and prevent a
repetition of the same trouble next
year.
It requires no particular kind of
magic to induce this plant to grow,
and the earlier it produces the more
valuable it x for either market or
household use. find the greatest thing
for rhubarb is plenty of good stable
manure put on at this season of the
year, says writer in an exchange.
1t is an excellent idea to cover the
earth surrounding the roots to q
depth of four inches. This not only
enriches the soil, but protects the
roots and assists in producing an early
growth.
l never pack the manure down close
to the earth, for l think this helps to
make the soil sour, and also makes it
more wet, which, of course, will cause
heavier freezing in severe weather.
A little straw with the manure will
act as mulch and produce better re-
suits. A very slight sprinkle of salt
Will do the beds good, but be careful
not TO overd0 this
If the bed is of long standing, dig
up the roots, or at least portion of
them, and reset them In new earth
in a new locality, say, about three
or four feet apart. Set in good,
strong roots, and lie careful to have
the root crown well covered with soil.
Manure this new bed literally, and
1t will pay you even next season for
your trouble, but from then on, for at
least five years, with liberal manuring,
it will yield excellently and the quail
ity will be fine.

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 it
should be continued. Unless one uses
the very coarsest lowland hay there is
no mulching that Will last for two
years, and so it is u good plan to re-
new the supply every year. The re0-
son mulching must be kept on after
once starting with it Is because #
brings the roots to the surface and
after that is done they must be kept
covered. But whore grapes are raised
In dry country and the patch is small
the mulch plan IS about the best way
OF raising them.

Self-Feeder for Stock.

give the credit of pigs as well as peo-
pie. Various feeding tests Of the state
experiment stations, notably Iowa,
have proved this to be true. Now every
body is getting patents on self-feed-
ers for live stock. The one shown
here is a recent patent of a Billings
(Mont) man. There is Il corrugated
feed roller Mt the proper point on the
slanted bottom of the bin. Below this
roller Is a feed trough, and on the
roller is an eccentric and feed rods
having downwardly projecting prongs
connected 10 the eccentric, This ar
rangement makes it possible to keep
the feeder cleaned out, SO that old
feed does not stick 10 the sides and
in the corners to spoil and harm new

CLEANLINESS is BIG FACTOR
Arrange Plenty of Clean Nests for
ayers-keep Undesirsbie-Lookin
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 ba
tits if proper care is taken--should be
got on to some other table Just as
soon as possible. If you once secure Il
string of customers who know the vast
difference between "A 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 If
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 are laid, do not put the date on
the egg, as most users had rather "gO
it blind" than use one that by the date
on the shell is even two weeks old.

MIR. Brown Finds His War.

Lieutenant Baum had been gone but
q short time when Sergeant Schmidt
appeared, bringing Brown with him.
The German "noncom" looked about in
vain for his lieutenant, who had or
dered him to fetch the American. But
only two of his mates, Otto and Hans.
remained in the room, standing guard
at the street door.
Sergeant Schmidt was nonplused. 1t
was not like Lieutenant Baum to fail
one Ike that. And he gurgled a few
ufoaty German words in his surprise.
There seemed nothing to do then but
assume the task himself-the duty Of
examining his prisoner, for so he re-
garded the interested Mr.. Brown, who
was already making mental notes of

enough. So Charlie drew near to that
Misunderstanding automaton.

schmidt demanded fiercely.

MS frowning interrogation at Hans and
Otfo and laughed outright.

she had drawn forth a small gold
medal. which hung upon a ribbon
about her neck.
He looked at it closely, for Lieu

necessary risks. Thoroughness was his
middle name.
From the German secret service,
the Wilhelmstrasser he exclaimed,
when he had satisfied himself Your
pardon. madame! l did not under

She acknowledged his apology with
the slightest of mods. And with an as
sumed calm that she was far from feel

manner:
II am here on a confidential mission,
and one thing at once l must know.
Tell me, lieutenant, by which road do
we march to attack the fortress at the

Smiling happily. Ethel left him. She
congratulated herself, both because she
had escaped detection and because
she had obtained the information that

As he watched her departure, the
young German officer smiled likewise.

remained another suspect to question

Twice Each Year

Leaving the long hairs on the udder
Is good way to make n bad kicking
cow out of n hefer that has the maxi
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
no wonder, then, that the young COW
protests with n lively kick.
A common pair Of clippers, such as
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.
