ASPARAGUS FOR. WINTER USE

Crisp, fresh asparagus tips can be ob- tained in a continuous supply this winter by forcing. For large supply crowns of tic plants may be forced in the field or in hothouses, while the small gardener may be a few crowns in the cellar to fur nish tips for his own use Specialists of the department of agriculture describe this winter gardening practice, at present not general one in this country, but of considerable importance in Europe.
 In building a forcing house over the rows ill the field rough boards are used for the walls. These are covered with a cheap grade of roofing paper The roof is formed of hotbed sash. The houses are usually heated with steam or hot water, CT by means of flues. Some growers depend on the heat of the sun, but this is satisfactory only during the spring.
 Lifting the crowns from the field and placing them under greenhouse benches, hctbeds or n cellars is the commoner method of forcing. The crowns are plowed or dug up late in the fall when the soil is moist so as ohave as much soil as possible adhere to them. They are then left exposed in the field until frozen, when they are covered with litter or removed tc shed in order to prevent alternate freezing and thawing, which is harmful. The crowns then are stored in a cool cellar CT pit and bedded sneeded to supply succession of shoots.
 When ready for forcing, the crowns or roots should be brought to. the cellar or other forcing place and bedded on ? or ! inches of loose soil on the floor. The clumps should be placed close together. the spaces between the clumps filled with loose soil. and the crowns covered to the depth of about an inch. The soil should

Save Nutshells

The war department has requested the boys and girls clubs of the country to help collect fruit pits and nutshells, the carbon in which is used in making gas masks. Contests have been suggested { among the million club members by the United States department of agriculture and the state agricultural colleges, which conduct the club work, to see which member, which club, which dis trict. and which state can deliver the largest, amount of material in the short est time. Each member should try to furnish at least 200 peach pits, or seven pounds of shells-enough material for one mask. Since more and better car bon is secured from the pits of peaches, prunes and plums than from other sources, boys and girls should make 1t their special business to see that every home in their communities saves the pits of these fruits. They should also visit community and commercial canneries, hotels, restaurants and bakeries. In ad- dition, seeds should be collected from dates and olives and shells and whole nuts be saved from hickory nuts, but ternuts, English and native walnuts, and hazlenuts. The material may be delivered to the local Red Cross headquarters, which are acting as central stations for collecting and shipping.

Fences for Hogs

It is often desirable in hog pastur- ing to fence off portions of fields temporarily The present price fencing may seem high. but hogs are also high, and 100 pounds of pork will buy more fencing now than it was pos sible to get with the same amount a few years ago. A great many different types of temporary fences have been devised Most of the board fences of the panel type are too heavy and cum bersome to be practicable. They are also easily broken and soon rot About the best temporary hog fence is made of 32-inch or 36-inch woven wire This is easily stretched and tackled to stakes driven in the ground. It may also be used in fencing off parts of a corn field which are, to be hogged off by merely tying the fence to row of cornstalks When this is done the tops and ears of the row of corn to which the fencing is tied should be broken off as then the hogs will not climb up the fence.
 well-fed hogs are easily kept in place, but underfed ones will require more substantial fencing than is here described.

The Fifth Wheel of Food

Women "come together over a cup cf tea;' motorists stop at inns and coun- try clubs. for sandwiches or ices; and young people flock around soda foun- tains and candy counters. It isn't nour- ishment they want, for they have enough without that addition. It is merely a |. pleasant social habit.
 But all these candies, creams and aft ernoon teas are made up of nourishins food. Every such morsel eaten is sub tracted from the legitimate and neces- sary meals of the country. They offer a constant temptation to the seller to use more than he should of the sugar and wheat that is needed in Europe, and they lure the buyer into careless, ex- travagant food habits.
 When people eat well-balanced meas and obtain sufficient nourishment at the table any other food they use is vast ! ed. It is like having fifth, wheel on a Ecart. Why not cut out this fifth wheel of food consumption, as it doesn't help our 'progress? Conversation can go on gaily without tea and cakes, and a soda does not improve the plot of the movies. Try companionship for it's own sake. the atres for the play and driving for the scenery-without the expensive, unpa- Ntriotic food wasting too often connected with them.

MUST HAVE LISESES
Work of Farm Bureaus

More than 10000 of the most progress sivc farmers of Idaho are backing the nations war programme in agriculture through the medium of the farm bu- reaus organized in 34 of Idaho's 36 agricultural counties. Thirty-one of these counties also employ county agents. In the northern part of the state emphasis has been given to n- creasing food production by demonstra- tions in clearing land which have been conducted in cooperation with the county farm bureaus, In Franklin county greater food production is as- sured through drainage. Here again the county agent and farm bureau have taken the leading part in securin the assistance of the national government Grasshoppers and other pests have caused much loss of food in the past, and the campaigns carried on against them by the county farm bureaus have proved most successful
