COLD FRAMES VERY POPULAR
Being Used More Extensively In Vari.
GUS Parts of Country Than For
merly.-Use Fine Soil.

Frames are used much more largely
in all parts of the country than few
years ago, notwithstanding the fact
that greenhouse construction has been
more active. A great many gardeners
have realized that it pays to grow some
vegetables under 8 by 6-foot sash. This
makes it a good business proposition,
and when frames are used on large
scale toe much care cannot be exer-
cised in <the preparation of the soil.
1t should be fine, fairly level and con-
tain liberal amounts Of sand and hui
mus. If to be used in the summer the
cross-bar hoes or horse cultivators can
be used without difficulty, running
from end to end Of the long frames.
The sash should fit snugly on the side
boards, so that as little cold as pos
sible will be admitted under the sash.
Lettuce and radish are especially de-
sirable for frame culture.

Custom Had Origin In Plague.

For many centuries plague was a
menace to all Europe. At intervals
it would spread like wildfire, wiping
out whole populations. In It's ordi-
nary, or "bubonic," manifestation, It
depended for its distribution upon
rats. But after while it was liable
to assume the pneumonia" form, at
lacking the lungs.
In this form the malady spreads
with frightful rapidity. The plague
germs are in the air. People acquire
the infection by breathing. The af'
flicted scatter the germs by coughing
and sneezing.
1t will be understood, then, how
it came about that people, centuries
ago, adopted the precaution of shield
ing the mouth by turning away the
head when coughing, sneezing, or
yawning. Today we continue to do
the same thing, for the sake of polite
ness; but in reality the custom is a
survival of the days when the common
prevalence of plague made it neces-
sity.

MATERIAL FOR MAKING EGGS
Grit, Charcoal and Crushed Oyster or
Clam Shells Are Three Big e.
sentials for Hens.

A poultry breeder wonders why hens
lay soft-shelled eggs. "Is it because
they are all pullets or is it lack Of
something in their feed? They have
grits before them all the time, so it
cannot come from that"
The cause of soft-shelled eggs is a
lack of lime in the feed. Unless hens
have a very wide range they must be
supplied with crushed oyster shells or
clam shells to provide material for
making shells. Even the flock on
range must in winter have these
shells provided. Grits do not answer
the purpose for providing lime for
making egg shells. The grits are for
the use of the hen in grinding her
feed.
There are three things very essen
tial in the poultry house. They are:
Grits (small stones), charcoal and
crushed oyster or clam shells. Many
poultry keepers preserve the shells
from eggs used during the summer
and these are Drowned and crushed
for winter use. Twenty-Five cents
worth of crushed oyster or clam shells
will last an average-siZed flock for
many weeks. Watch the laying hens
and note how often they visit the hop
per containing these crushed shells.

should be treated very simply, yet
carefully.
Cut off the woody part, scrape the
lower part of the stalks. Wash we'll
and tie in lunches. Put into a deep
stewpan, with the cut end resting
on the bottom of the stewpan. Pour
in boiling water to come up to the
tender parts, but not to cover them.
Add a teaspoonful of salt for each
quart of water. Place where the
water will boil. Cook until tender,
having the cover partially off the
stewpan. This will be from Is to
80 minutes, depending upon the
freshness and tenderness of the vege-
table: Have some slices of we'll
toasted bread on a platter. Butter
them slightly. Arrange the cooked
asparagus on the toast, season with
butter and little salt and serve at
once. Save the water in which the
asparagus was boiled to use in max
ing vegetable soup.
Another method Of cooking aspar-
agus is to cut all the tender part into
short pieces. Add boiling water
enough to just cover the vegetable
and place where the water will boil.
Cook until tender (about Is min
utes), season with salt and butter,
and serve in the greater part of the
juice.
If preferred, a cream dressing may
be served with asparagus.

HOW TO PRUNE BLACKBERRIES
Better to Leave Some Varieties Until
Blossoms Bud-Set EIdorado and
MlnneWaska In Fall.

In the cultivation Of blackberries the
preference is for low pruning, but
some varieties show lack of uniformity
in their manner of bearing fruit. At
times most of it will be found. close to
the main stalk, and at other times it
will be well out on the .laterals. It is
better to leave such varieties until the
blossom buds show before pruning in
order to gauge the amount Of fruit
which should be produced.
Wilson's Early sets fruit buds thick
~ near the base of the laterals, and
should, consequently, be pruned close
ly on the side growth. Early harvest
requires longer pruning Of the later
ais. Eldorado and Minnewaska are
good kinds. Plant In fall.

KEEP COLTS GROWING
Important Consideration In Pro-
ducing Horses ProfitabIy.
Good Horseman Endeavors to Reduce
Worrying and Frettins Of Young
Animal to Minimum-Grain
Must Be Supplied.

(By H. H M'CARTY, Indiana Expert
ment Station.)
To keep the cold growing without
interruption during weaving time and
afterward is most important consid-
Grafton in producing horses profitably.
A good horseman aims to replace the
milk that the colt has been accustomed
to secure from it's mother. He tries
also to reduce the worrying and fret
ting of the colt to a minimum. To
wean colt appears to be simple
matter. 1t is simple as many do it;
yet the very low degree Of success
that is shown on many farms by their
unthrifty colts is evidence that there
Is something wrong or that there is
something lacking. Often in few
weeks during weaving time the young
ster changes from the growing, sleek,
milk-fat colt to a stiff-haired and I'M
thrifty, stunted Individual. The colt,
IL properly cared for, need lose but
little Of his flesh, bloom and spirit.
Feed some GRAIN.
Grain must be used as the milk Is
taken away. 1t is necessary that the
colt have been taught to eat grain be-
fore weaving is attempted. Oats have
always been preferred by horsemen
for young colts. They are undoubted-
ly superior to any other single grain.
The colt likes mixture or a variety
Of grains and will thrive best on such
a ration. He relishes corn, and it may
we'll be fed as part of the grain ra-
ton. 1t may be said that corn con-
tains rather high percentage Of fat.
True, 1t does, and so does milk, which
Is as nearly ideal food as nature can
make. Corn should not be fed alone,
nor in too great quantities. Bran is
splendid feed and contains material
for bone and muscle. A mixture Of
oats 60 per cent, corn 30 per cent,
and bran 10 per cent makes a ration
that will enable any colt to grow rap
Idly. A handful Of oilmeal may be
profitably added. Then he will be
more likely to eat enough, to almost
make up for the lack Of milk.
Provide Hay.
Hay should be provided in plenty.
Doubtless alfalfa or clover is the most
desirable for young growing colts.
Both grain and hay should be of the
very best quality. If it is at all pos
sible to furnish succulent grass for
the colt it should be done. This is a
big factor in preventing any check in
the growth Of the youngster.
