RULING ON
 NEAR BEER

Washington, May ' - Regulations for administration of the l , per cent. tax on near beer and other bever- ages made of cereals, and the 10 per cent. tax on manufacture of soft drinks, provide that the assessment Is against the original manufacture in
 the case of near beer, even though he
 sells to another concern which bottles and sells the product. If the beverage is subjected in the process to any re- making, sales by the second manu- facture also are taxable. The tax is on the manufacturers price, not the retail price. This was disclosed to- day by the bureau of internal revenue

Juvenile Court Bill
 Killed Because City
 Court is Very Jealous

The juvenile court bill was killed in Hartford, yesterday, by the jeal- Cusy of the City Court. Senator Delaney. who is City Court prosecu- tor, opposed the measure on the ground that it showed distrust of Senator Bartlett, who is City Court judge.
 Senators Delaney and Bartlett joined in killing the Port of Bridge port bill, which had been amended for referendum to the people.
 The Senate refused to pass a bill giving trolley companies the privilege of abandoning existing lines, and by amendment gave such companies the right to run jitneys on streets where they run tracks.

FICTION IS RECOMMENDED
TO ENLIvEN LIFE ON FARM

That the reading Of fiction by coun-
try people is quite as important as
the reading of an endless supply of
agricultural bulletins, is the theory
Of C. ID. Steiner, head of the depart
ment Of agricultural education Of the
University of Utah.
The right attitude toward country
life by the farmer is quite as essential
as a knowledge of agriculture, BELIEVED
Professor Steiner. He holds further
that the best way to acquire this spirit
is by varying his reading of bulletins
with appropriate books of fiction.
The constant necessity of heavy
manual labor, he further explains, has
= tenency to enervate the farmer and
70 make his life barren routine. I'm.
less he keeps up his spirit with suf.
hcient reading, part Of which should
be good rural fiction, he is liable to
become a mere newer of wood and
drawer of water.

WY Early Cabbage. ~

When set In spring, the cabbage
plants should be started In the window
box or In hotbeds some six weeks be-
fore the average date of the last kill
Ing frost In the particular locality.
They may be set in the gardens as
soon as the ground Is In condition. For
horse cultivation the rows should be
from pa to feet apart and the plants
from II to 20 inches apart In the rows.
Cabbage requires rich warm soil
for early maturity, loan CONSTITUTE
ing good type OF soil for the purpose.
1t Is an excellent plan to put shovel
full of compost under each plant.
Early cabbage must be used as soon
as 1t reaches maturity, or the heads
are liable to burst and be lost II is
an excellent plan to grow early cab
bage for summer kraut making. as 1t
has been found that kraut may be
made at the time that early cabbage
natures and will keep successfully. 1t
is much easier to produce early cab
bage than the later varieties for this
perpose.-U. s. Department of Agricul-
ture.

The cauliflower requires rich,
moist soil, and thrives best under irri.
cation. II will not withstand as much
frost as cabbage, but is very sensitive
to hot weather. To make success Of
the crop 1t is best to plant II about
the time Of the last killing frost In
spring, using plants grown In the hot
bed or window box. This gives 1t time
TO mature before hot weather comes.
The rows need not be more than 21s
to feet apart for horse cultivation,
or "a to 80 inches apart FOR hand work.
The plants should be from II to Is
inches apart In rows. The culture is
the same as for cabbage until the
heads begin to develop. after which
the leaves may be tied together over
the heads to exclude the light and
keep heads white.
This crop Is one Of the aristocrats
Of the garden. If you succeed In grow
ing hlgh-grade cauliflower you will
qualify as a good gardener.-U. s. De-
partment Of Agriculture.

Bush and pole beans are among the
most valuable and dependable crops Of
the garden. "When In doubt what to
plant--plant beans"
Beans thrive best In a rather warm
sandy loan, but may be grown on al
most any kind Of soil. For the best
results the soil should not be too rich
In heterogeneous matter, or the plants
Will run to foliage and stems at the
expense Of the crop. Beans will not
Withstand frost, and the first paintings
In the spring should not be made until
about two weeks after the average
date Of the last killing frost. The soil
should be in good condition and the
rows should be laid out perfectly
straight so as to make cultivation easy.
One pint Of the seed of most varieties
Of snap beans Is sufficient for 100
foot row. When the cultivation In ia
be done BY horse, the rows should be
from 80 to 80 inches apart. When
hand cultivation Is to be employed, the
rows should be from 10 to "a inches
apart. 1t requires from 40 to 90 days
for snap beans to be ready for use
II the weather conditions are favor
able.
Successive paintings Of string beans
should be made at intervals of ten
days to two weeks throughout the
growing season. BY following this
scheme constant supply Of tender
beans will be assured.-U. s. Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

Spinach thrives In rather cool eli
mate and attains Its best development
in the middle South, where It can be
grown In the open ground during the
winter. Farther north 1t Is necessary
to protect the plants during the win
ter with mulch Of straw or leaves.
To produce good spinach rich loan
which will give the plants a quick
growth Is required. Fall planting is
to be recommended wherever this is
possible, as the fall-planted spinach is
not as much inclined to go to seed as
that planted in the spring. One ounce
Of seed is sufficient for 1O0-foot row
and this crop may be sown in drills
about 1 foot apart.
Spinach Is an easily grown garden
crop, and there Is perhaps no other OF
Its kind that will give as good salts
faction. In gathering spinach the en-
tire plant Is removed rather than mere
ly cutting OFF the leaves. The larger
plants are selected first, and the
smaller ones are thus given chance
TO develop.-U. S. Department Of Ag
riculture.

I Watermelon. I'D

The watermelon requires consider
able room. and unless there is an
abundance Of space available II should
not be planted in the garden.
II is heat-loving plant and the
seeds should not be planted In the
open until the ground Is warm. This
will be about one month after the last
hard frost. They do best in sandy
SOIL and require plenty of well-rotted
manure for their best development.
The usual method is to plant them In
hills made up with plenty Of we'll
rotted manure, about 10 feet apart
each way. Some eight or ten seeds
should be placed In each hill, and when
the plants are well established they
should be thnned to four plants In n

A sandy loan with plenty Of we'll
rotted manure Incorporated In the soil
is well adapted TO the production OF
muskmelons. The muskmelon is heat
loving crop, requiring a long growing
season, about four months, and cannot
be planted until the ground has be-
come warm. For this reason II Is use
less to attempt to grow the muskmelon
in sections where the growing season
is not sufficiently long or where the
temperature Is not uniformly high. The
northern portion Of the United States
is not suited to the growing Of this
crop for the reasons cited above.
It Is advisable to start the plants
In berry boxes, or on sods In the hot
bed, transferring these to the open
ground after the ground has become
warm. In this way considerable time
can be saved and much better results
obtained. II is n good plan to place
plenty OF well-rotted manure In the
hills, which should be about 9 feet
apart. Sufficient seed should be plant
ed so that four good strong plants may
be had In each hill. Another plan is
to SOW in drills in rows 0 or feet
apart, thinning the plants until they
are from IS inches to 2 feet apart in
the rows.
Cultivation should be frequent and
thorough until the vines begin to run.
After this the only cultivation required
Is to keep weeds down.
Muskmelons are liable to be attack
ed by several diseases and have at
least one serious insect enemy. For In
formation on the control Of insects and
diseases affecting the muskmelon, re-

Mable Montgomery Receivers
After Long Suffering by
Taking Taniac.

"No one could see the wonderful
change that has taken place in our
little daughter during the past few
weeks and doubt Tanlac being a grand
medicine" said Mrs. II. w. Montgom-
cry, residing at 27O1 Bristol Street,
Omaha, Neb., recently.
"Mable is now thirteen years of
age" continued Mrs. Montgomery,
"and had suffered terribly for five
years. One of her troubles was in
fammatory rheumatism. Her feet
and hands would swell very badly and
at times she couldn't walk. She had
no appetite, suffered with frightful
headaches and in place of growing she
seemed to be losing ground. She was
often in bed for several weeks at a
time, and we had to keep her out Of
school all the past year. She was
a very sick child md although we
spent lots of money for medicines,
nothing seemed " reach her trouble
and we had begun to think she would
never get well.
Zone of our relatives urged us to
give her Tanlac, and now you wouldn't
take her for the same child. She has
actually gained thirty-four pounds
and looks the picture Of health, and
to all appearances is perfectly well.
She never complains of an ache oh a
pain nor disagreeable symptom of
any kind. She is brimful of life and
ambition now, and enjoys life and
plays like other children. Soon after
she began on Tanlac her appetite
came back, and she increased in
weight so fast we were astonished
and the swelling, pain and headaches
gradually disappeared. She is now
able to enter school again, and we are
more than grateful for what Tanlac
has done for her. / have also taker
Tanlac for loss Of appetite, poor di
gestion and nervousness, and it ha.
