tPrepared by the United States Department
 Of Agriculture)
 The Average house owner burns too much coal. principally because he does not know how to regulate his heater say engineers of the United States De partment of Agriculture in Farmers Bulletin 1194, operating Home Heat ing Plant" published by the depart ment. Many rural homes are now pro- yided with furnaces, and the pHbliea- tion was prepared as a guide to their efficient operation, particularly in get ting the most heat out of the fuel used and in making the home as healthful as possible.
 The satisfactory and efficient heat ing Of homes, according to the bulletin requires that the chimney fiue be of proper size and in the proper place, that the proper heating equipment be installed correctly, that the plant be understood thoroughly and operated so that it gives the most heat from the fuel consumed, that the house be constructed so that the heat is held in, that the air be kept moist, and that enough fresh air be admitted either continuously or from time to time to avoid the discomfort or unhealthful conditions due to accumulation of car bonic-acid gas. In selecting fuel, the bulletin suggests that different kinds and sizes of coal should be tried out.
 Should Be Properly installed. The best and highest-priced heater improperly installed may give less sat isfaetion than the poorest and cheap est put in correctly, says the bulletin For this reason a man known to un. derstand his business should install the plant. In selecting the furnace consult owners of homes who have had experience in operating furnaces of different types.
 Practically all heating plants have four dampers. A draft damper in the door of the ash pit is opened to admit afr through the fire, which causes it to burn rapidly. A check damper lo- cated in the smoke pipe is opened to admit cold air into the fiue, thus in- terfering with the draft and retard- ing the burning of fuel In the heater. The damper located In the feed door Is used for the same purpose. Through 1t cold air Is admitted directly over the fire, and if opened wide 1t acts as check. When regulated properly

READ LANES DIAGNOSIS

In hls final report to the President, upon completing his work as secre- tary of the interior, Franklin k. Lane sketched with a sure hand out of the abundance of his experience the pres ent Washington condition:
 The call is for thinking, planning. engi- neering statesmanship. For we are quick ly passing out of the rough-and-ready period of our national life, in which we have dealt wholesale with men ana things, into a period of more intensive development in which we must seek to find the special qualities of the individual unit, whether that unit be an acre Of desert, barrel of oil, mountain canyon. the flow of a river or the capac- fly of the humblest of men.
 TO conquer and to master-the same old task Is ours. but not in the same old way. We have discovered this land and made 1t ours, but this is not the end of our journey for now We are to give thought, the deepest thought, to the ways in which it may be made to yield most abundantly in the things which com plex society with most imperious curl osity demands.
 Washington Is combination of politi- cal caucus, draWing-room and civil ssrv- Ice bureaus. IL contains statesmen who are politicians and politicians who are not statesmen It Is rich in brains and in character. It is honest beyond any commercial standard. IL wishes to do everything that will promote the public good But it is poorly organized for the task that belongs to il. Fewer men of larger capacity would do the task better.
 Ability is not lacking, but it Is pressed to the point of paralysis because Of an lnfnitude of details and an unwiliingness
 sI,, atf in servants to take responsibility. Every one seems to be afraid of everyone. The self-protective sense Is developed abnor- mally, the creative sense atrophies. Trust, confidence, enthuslasm-these simple Sir- tues of all great business are the ones most lacking in government organization.
 We have so many checks and brakes upon our work that our progress does not keep pace with the natioa's require ments. We could save money for the government If We had more discretion as to how we should use that given us.
 For the body of the civil servants there should be quicker promotion or discharge and a sure insurance when disa bility comes. For the higher administra tive officers there should be salaries twice as high as those now given, and they should be made to feel that they are the ones responsible for the work of the depart ment. the head being merely an adviser and constructor of policies
 AS matters are now devised there are too few in the government whose bGsi- ness II Is to plan. Eyery man is held to detail, to the narrower view, which comes too often to be the department view or some sort of parechial view. We need for the day that is here and upon us men who have little to do but study the problems of the time and test their ca pacity at meeting them. In word, we need more opportunity for planning. en- gineering. statesmsnship above. and more fixed authority and responsibility below.
 The employment methods of the gov ernment could be improved. Under the ciyi! service law of 1888 q good

Rhubarb, or "pieplant." as It is sometimes called, cannot be grown uni- versally, but is limited to certain defi- mite sections. Information as to whether rhubarb will or will not grow in a given locality can be obtained from the local seedsmen or from neigh bors who have had experience in grow ing 1t.
 Rhubarb is propagated by planting pieces of the roots secured by diyld- Ing older hills, and six to ten hills will usually supply plenty of rhubarb for the average family, states the United States Department Of Agriculture.
 Rhubarb should be planted exactly the same way as asparagus, that is, the roots or crowns should be covered four or five inches in deeply spaded

It could have been purchased a few years ago for seventeen cents pound and the beans for ten cents. He does not get any fresh meat because he cannot afford to buy it.
 "To my mind it seems pity that the United States government should employ men of that type, or any other type for that matter, and not give them enough to live on deeently. IT is particularly pity in this case be cause he is somewhat superior to many of the employees. He has stayed with us as a matter Of faithful ness to the government, and has stayed with us when he could make more in one week outside of the gov ernment than we pay him for one month.
 "0thers have left us, but instances of that kind have been very few. At one time I had in our auditorium our employees and I made an appeal te them to stand by us during the war period, and there were more than 300 of them present and they all of one accord assured us that they would stand by us and would give us the benefit of their labor In our depart ment during the war period, notwith- standing the fact that the price for labor outside was great deal more
 This curious pride in their work and loyalty to the government and the government service was q thing that cropped up in the most unexpected places.
 As one employee put 1t: 'I think you will find that every service seems to be quite proud of its work 1 know you will find 1t in our service as far as compensation and such as that are concerned. The pay in this office is small, but that element, that feeling in mans mind that he is really help ing to accomplish good work and helping this government to function well, is really part of 1t. find in all my talks with employees that they really feel proud of their work. and | that pride Is really what gets things done. 1 think that Is true everywhere in the whole service, and particularly l throughout the executive depart ments."
 That is euriously true, and it is one of the reasons, possibly the chief req son, why men stay on in the depart ments year after year at low rate of pay and not much possibility of promotion.

TOOLS THE BUSY
 GARDENER NEEDS
Hoe, Rake and Spade, the Con- blnation Soil TiIIers Find AbSo-

WHEEL HOE IS LABOR SAVER
Little implement Suitable for Small or Large Garden; TroweIs Are Handy; Spraying Outfits Are Es-

With the first warm days of spring sounding the earth call, there is 8 nasty seurrying around for the tools of the gardening cult. A gardener can get along fairly we'll with four, a spade or spading fork, hoe, rake, and d trowel. It is even possible to get along without the last, but who wants to? The art of gardening is reaching such point of special development that there are tools for almost every thing and the wise gardener by care ful selection will ease his work as much as possible by securing appro- priate working implements.
 The greatest labor saver for gardens of any extent is little wheel hoe. This saves many headache. does the work thoroughly. and has appliances for various purposes which are inter- changeable from little plow share to eultiYators of various kinds. It can be used in the smallest garden.
 There are numerous hoes of various types and designed for different pur- poses. The pointed hoe for making rows is a convenient tool. The hoe with rake teeth on the back of the blade is one of the very handlest all- around garden tools for light work there is. It is particularly we'll adapt ed for women gardeners. Three toothed cultivator hoes do a fine job of stir ring the soil. Scuffle or shove hoes as they are sometimes called that can be pushed instead of pulled, permit hoe ing rows which are too close to walk between conveniently.
 Trowels of various shapes to suit various plants are now on the market, stiff, sharply angled small bladed trow- els are ideal for splitting off pieces from perennials which have grown so large they need dividing for their best growth. They are fine to set under q reealcitrant carrot or parsnip whose leaves are so tender they part com pany from the root, leaving it in the ground.
 Long bladed trowels are especially adapted for digging holes for gladiolus or other bulbs in the spring and tu-

Washing, Sweeping and Scrub
 ping Most Laborious.
Series of Experiments Made on En. sray Expended by Woman in Per- formance of Household Tasks
 Ways of Tightening

tPrspared by the United States Departme nt
 of Agricuiturs.)
 It does not require a laboratory eN- pertinent to convince any woman that washing and scrubbing are about the hardest work she has to do but 1t will be interesting to many housekeepers to know the order In which their tasks rank when tested under laboratory conditions. For this purpose spe- clally designed respiration calorimeter was used by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. The results were measured in calories, for Il series of B experiments on energy expenditure in he performance of household tasks.
 It was found that such light tasks as sewing, crocheting, knitting. darn Ing, and embroidering required an ay- craze expenditure of nine calories per hour more than that when the same subject was sitting quietly In chair. Washing. sweeping, and scrubbing floors caused an Increased energy ex- penditure of about fifty ealories per hour over the expenditure at rest. x, d tBItQ, dHu ulsI- washing each required about twenty four ealories per hour
 Ways of Tightening the labor of va rious household tasks were also stud led. It was found, for example, that when the height of the dishwashing table was varied the energy expendi. lure varied. If the subject worked in a comfortable position the expenditure of energy was 2l calories m hour. It was 25 ealorIes when the wash pan was set too high so that her arms were raised during work, and 30 cal or,es when she was obliged to bend o..-f-
