and Of excellent quality. Horse-rad-
ish grows on almost any kind Of soil,
and will stand the dry weather as we'll
as potatoes. In planting horse-radish,
fit the soil the same as for strawber-
ries, and cultivate the same as any
other garden crop.
Many persons plant horse-radish In
some out-of-the-way spot and dig q
piece of the root as often as needed,
leaving the fragments of roots in the
soil to grow for further use. This
method results in having nothing but
tough, stringy roots, very unlike the
product of a properly planted and well
cared for bed. The best roots are those
planted in the spring at the time of
setting early cabbage, and dug as late
the same fall as the weather will per-
nit. 1t becomes therefore, an annual
crop.

INCREASE YIELD BY PRUNING
Pinch OFF Center Buds, Thus Throwing
Energy of Plants to Formation
and Ripening of Fruit.

The yield and quality Of many veg
etables can be increased by pruning
and pinching off center buds, thus
throwing the energy of the plants to
the formation and ripening of fruit.
With muskmelons and cantaloupes l
always pinch off the center bud of the
main vine when it reaches q length of
four or five feet, says a writer. Gu
cumbers are treated in q like amer
Such treatment results in Increased
size of the fruit and a Fastening OF
maturity. For the same reason the
ends of pole and lima bean vines are
pinched off when they reach a height
Of six feet.
Tomato vines expected to yield an
early crop are pruned severely. But
three stalks are allowed to develop, all
side shoots being pinched off as soon
as they begin to form. The three stalks
are firmly supported by a stake four
feet in height.
When the vines reach the top of the
stake the center bud is piDched out.
This stops height growth and throws
all the energy Of the vine to the de-
veloping and ripening of fruit already
set. BY following this method 1 have
obtained as high as 40 fine, perfect
tomatoes from q single plant.

WAR GARDENS FOR EVERYONE
Supplies Are Needed for Armies Fight

Says Dean Woods.

Every family should have its own
garden this year. "To do so will be to
release supplies for the armies that
are fighting for brotherhood ana
peace" says Dean A. F. Woods of the
Minnesota College Of Agriculture.
"To hasten the close of the war,
adds Dean Woods, 1--WE must feed the
people in the armies. The farmers are
doing everything possible and the peo-
pie of the towns should assist oy
avoiding waste and extravaganza.
They should make gardens not only IN
their back yards, but in their front
yards as well, and on vacant lots.
They should organize garden clubs, IN
Guiding women and children, n
grow enough to supply their needs not
only through the summer, but through

FIND Cars in MUD.
Mystery to Passengers on Ferry
Boats Finally Solved.
VARIOUS kinds Of sURMIsEs
Object of Strange Craft, Anchored
Along Manhattan Side of North
River, of Considerable Inter-
est to Commuters.

Passengers on North river ferry
boats who have had a mystery on their
hands for some time past were graft
fed the other morning when the solu-
tion was presented right to their very
eyes.
Considerable interest vas evoked by
tL,.e presence Of a huge barge that was
q cross between q dredger and a freight
car float. The strange craft, which
was heavily manned, has been an
chored along the Manhattan side all
the way from Fourteenth street down
to Chambers, and although there were
always signs Of activity aboard none
of the commuters was able to find out
what it vas all about, says New York
Sun. Occasionally a diver could be
seen going down and every morning
liner on the deck would be casting out
loaded lines as if they were engaged
in a 16-pound fy-casting competition.
Many Surmises Made.
There were all sorts of Surmises as
to the purpose Of the vessel. A man
from Montclair suggested q hunt for
pirate gold. An East Orange citizen
of a practical turn was sure the work
ers were laying a cable. Glen Ridge
lchipped in with something about mine
laying and Rutherford reckoned ii
might be plotting out the harbor for
the war department. Little Falls
rather suspected they were digging the
channel deeper and so it went.
The guessing has been good all WIN
ter, but nobody came near the FACTS
Finally fortunate travellers on the
$40 witnessed the climax.
Mystery Is Solved.
The big derrick N the deck swung
around and down. Half q dozen
voices shouted directions. A diver
waved his hand like a trainman &c
someone inside and finally a voice
hoarser than all the rest beloved some
unintelligible order. An engine coughed
and groaned. the derrick began to lift
and in a jiffy there swung into sight
what? A freight car.

Structed to carry q load of eight tons.
The French staff has q carefully
prepared map of the German railroads
before Verdun at the moment of the
great offensive. 1t provides eloquent
evidence Of the extent to which the
Germans avail themselves of the mar
row gauge railroad for the purpose of
attacks. Behind the German trenches
the country is covered with q network
of lines that for their compleNity and
number can only be compared TO the
filaments of q spiders web. Wher-
ever the ground affords cover for ar
tillery, there the lines are most COM
plicatcd and close. At certain points
on the most advanced sections of the
narrow gauge line q series of sidings
betrays the position of the heavy guns,
which fire from trucks on the rails.
Advantages of Roads.
The great advantage of the light
railroad is that practically it does not
take up any road space. When
weather permits the roads are left en-
tirely free for motor and horse-drawn
vehicles, which thus become a supple
ment of the light railroad.
German shells do not interrupt traf-
fc on these lines, since even when by
a lucky chance the line is damaged, it
is a matter Of no great difficulty or
time to restore communication.
Before this war the importance of
the narrow gauge railroad was not
realized. Everything for the army is,
of course, brought up IS close as pos
sible to the firing line by the broad
lines, but owing to the great range of
modern heavy artillery, trains cannot
hope to come up along the ordinary
lines with safety and regularity. AS
q rule, the normal railhead for the
broad gauge lines is from six to ten
miles from the front. In times of at
tack each broad gauge railhead may
be called upon to deal with as much as
1000 tons daily Of ammunition and
material.
Upon the return of peace France ex-
poets to utilize the whole magnificent
system Of light railroads built up dur
ing the past two years for agricultural
purposes.

Of all the machines that have been
pressed into war service, none ap-
pears to have more individuality and
more consciousness of its OWN i'm
portance thar the narrow gauge rail-
road, the slight railroad" as it is
known in military phraseology. With
its fussy little engines, it is to be
found everywhere behind the front.
It is scarcely an eXaggeration to
say that without the narrow gauge
railroad, the artillery preparation
which is. the essential preliminary Of
any attack on q trench position, would
be impossible.
Much has been written concerning
the splendid services rendered by the
motor lorries at Verdun, and they GER
tainly did much to W. the situation.
But on that occasion they were act
ing in their proper capacity as an
emergency service. They enabled the
French troops to resist the first Ger
man onrush, and so gave time to the
military engineers to build the narrow
gauge lines which could alone be re-
garded as a satisfactory and perma-
nent means of supply.
Rapidly Laid.
The narrow gauge railroad, with
tracks 60 centimeters (two feet) apart,
is easily and rapidly laid down. Its
rails are riveted two by two to metal
ties, and can be put together with a
minimum Of delay. With a thin layer
of ballast the rails can be laid almost
anywhere. Thanks to the narrowneSs
Of the gauge they can follow the most
tortuous course, and hills have no ter
rors for them. They can negotiate
safely curves Of a radius of 80 yards,
and can climb a grade Of 3 in LOO.
The military light railroad needs
relatively little in the way Of embank-
ments and engineering, and the work
of laying down the track can be car
ried out with great speed. A gang Of
300 men under the direction Of q few
experts can lay a half mile a day
ready for immcdiote use. The engines
used are capable of hauling a load OF
25 tons up q grade Of 3 in LOU.
The cars consist of q simple platform
mounted on four wheels, which is con-

SPRAYING is OF IMPORTANCE
Those Who Neglected Practice Last
Summer Lost Heavily - NorH
Must Not Be Neglected.

The exceptional wet spring of 1916
made spraying very difficult and in
some cases impossible. As 4 conSe-
Quence much wormy and scabby fruit
was harvested New England peach
growers who have not adopted the
practice of summer spraying lost
heavily from the attacks of brown
rot.
Spraying must not be neglected
even in season OF hiGh-priccd and
scarcity Of labor. The Brooks spot Of
apples can be controlled by spraying
thoroughly with a fungicide. II is
generally conceded thar the dormant
lime-Sulphur spray must be given
peaches.
In season like last year the sum
mer spray must he given peaches to
control the brown rot. Spray the early
peaches twice, the ElbertaS and late
peaches three times.
The ruSSeting of apples is difficult
to prevent Weather conditions, va

Mexican sentry stood slOse by under
stood that this hut was Donald's tenn
porary prison.
In the distance she saw HurOki and
his creature, katO, passing from view
behind thicket, walking rapidly to-
ward what appeared to be the brink
of a cliff.
There was no time to be lost. Hast
lily drawing her pistol, the girl
emerged fro4e the straw and covered
the sentry, ordering him to drop his
rifle and put up his hands-which he
did with gratifying alacrity.
But he demonstrated more courage
and initiative than she had anticipated
of his kind. For when she left him
momentarily uncovered, while she
clambered out of the cart, the fellow
made an ill-advised snatch for his gun.
It was necessary to shoot him or be
shot.
Fastening by that twitching body in
the dust before the door, the girl en-
tered the hut, finding Donald there,
conscious but sorely battered, and
bound to a chair.
1t was a matter of seconds only to
free him. But, once he was freed the
riddle of the next step toward safety
doomed imperatively, its solution a
thing of the utmost urgency.
Already Kato and Huroki. alarmed
by the shot, were hurrying back to-
ward the hut. Already the sounds of
hoofs approached from the opposite d.
rection.
There was window in the back of
the hut; through this the fugitives es-
capped, even as Huroki and Kato en-
tered the ammunition depot by its door,
way.
Then, skirting through underbrush,
they skulked off as far as they might
under cover. When the pursuit obliged
them to take to the open, they found
themselves hemmed in on three sides,
and under fire. The only way they
dared run was In the direction of HUI
roki's point of observation.
Two minutes later, holly pressed,
they arrived on the lip Of a cliff not
less than two hundred feet In height,
commanding a wide view Of the sur
rounding country.
At bay, Parr turned and emptied
Patria's pistol at their pursuers, drop

checking their rush.

STRAWBERRY IS NOW QUEEN
They Are Earliest of Fruits TO Ripen
and Can Be Grown in Any Part
of the Country.
CBy J. \. BAUERD

In the growing Of the strawberry we
have the queen of fruits, none eX-
cepted. And in calling them the
queen of fruits, we think it safe in
also adding that they are the earliest
of fruits, ripening their large crop of
fine dark red colored berries from ten
TO fifteen days earlier than any other
kind of fruit grown. The strawberry
can be grown in any part of the
United States or Canada, and will
thrive anywhere if sufficient water is
had. And in case you haven't a plenty
of rain, you can turn water on them
from your well or water ditch, if in
the dry parts of the United States. We
have found that they will bear as well
this way as where we have plenty of
