It (• Not Such a blffti^ult Task If Managed Right. ‘ To transplant large trees it Is not ao difficult as it appears to be after one learns how •and becomes ac customed to doing it. The first move to make is to dig all around the tree, leaving a large b{^ll of soil, which is carefully wrapped in sack ing or canvas to hold It on the roots and prevent drying. When this is well tied In place, a chain is passed round the ball two or three times and hooked, as shown In Pig. 1. Then with a pair of heavy wheels on a short axle and a strong pole laid across it, with a massive iron hook fastened to the pole. It is easy to back up to the tree. The sketch shows the truck with its lever raised Fig. 1.—Balled, Hook and Truck. ready to hook into the chain. The rope at the end of the pole brings it down and the tree up, when the pole Is fastened under a second pair of wheels. The young trunk, contin ues Farm and Home, must be kept from contact with the machinery by the free use of blankets and bags. RHUBARB FOR WINTER. Take Some of the Roots for Forcing In the Cellar. It is now time to make planting plans for the fall and winter. If you have a cellar with a dirt floor and have rhubarb plants which have supplied you in the spring here is a plan by which they can be made to furnish a crop of tender shoots in the winter, when the, pies and sauce are most welcome. ------- Rapid'growth is essential to Insure tenderness of the rhubarb. The very best can be raised in the winter, a warm cellar being the only requisite*' for forcing it. The roots of the -Ifl&nts should be dug up late in the fall with large quantities ol dirt adhering to them. These chunks of earth contain ing the roots may be piled up outdoors until midwinter when they should be carrted into the cellar and placed in a bed prepared in the earthen floor. The chunks of earth should be laid close together in rich, moist earth and eo’^red to a depth of four to six Inches. Growth soon commences. Light is not a requisite. In a short time the rhubarb will be ready for the table. The shoots, will be almost colorless and remarkably tender and palatable. A very small bed containing only half a dozen well-developed hills will be sufficient 16 supply a family lor several weeks. Roots’sehd up a large number of shoots and exhaust themselves In about four weeks. For an additional supply roots should be planted at in tervals of two or three weeks. PLANTING TREES. Be Sure the Ground' Is Well Drained and That Trees Are Set Right. It Is a loss of money to plant trees upon wet or undralned ground. If dry ground cannot he obtained the soli should be tile drained and put in good condijipft;^ : • In, settiur out trbes one. should bear In mind the jdot tbdt ,you:’a;re not set ting out jEtdrdipfOf a slfigle year, but thdt it- yflU fob many years to come that brrors Tiiade cannot easily be. isfeedt^ and for that rear son treebi^ouid nevef jid #et, out in ^ hurry or wllfiiW due foiefhqught.

Ways in Which the Unmarketable Fruit Can Be Used. 'Where apples are grown there Is often a large waste of fruit in the orchard because the windfalls and unmerchantable stock are allowed to decay on the ground. This Is a habit peculiar to the northwest, where the waste on the farms. If saved, would equal the entire Income of some sec tions of the ‘World. The frugal New Englander and his family make use of a large proportion of the culls and windfalls from the orchard. A cider press will make it possible to convert much of this waste Into vinegar which is in demand in. alnaost every family. Small green apples also make a most excellent quality of fruit jelly which is relished by all and as a spread for bread is much superior to some butter we have sampled. Apple butter Is cheaply prepared from the small stock and should be made by the gallon where there are children In the family. \Pie timber” Is usually a store product on the farm, but the orchard should supply material tor such pastry during the entire year. The Duchess apple makes a splendid filling, for pies and dumplings when It Is fresh, dry, or canned. The Hibernal is not a good seller on the markets but the cooks prefer it to many other va rieties for pies. Small fruit evaporators are now ob tainable which may be heated over the kitchen range where apples can be dried very quickly and cheaply. They are entirely practical and worthy of a place in every household where fruits and vegetables are grown. Apple preserves and pickles make a dainty dish that young and old relish. People In the cities often pay two dollars per bushel for crab apples vj'hlch they use for pickles and pre serves, while the farmer’s family, with the apples going to waste in the or chard, Is entirely without these luxuries. Baked apples and Jersey cream is good enough for a king. Apple sauce -^plain or spiced—should be on the farmer’s table three times a day when the fruit Is w.-.sting on the ground. Keep plumb full of apples while they are ripe. MAKING PERMANENT HOTBEDS. Get It Ready This Fall for Use Next Spring. Hotbed sash should be constructed of white pine or of cypress, and the sash bars should run in one direction only, and that lengthwise of the sash. The bars may be braced through the middle by a transverse bar placed through the long bars below the glass. The two ends of the sash should be made of sound timber, three inches wide at the top and four inches wide at the bottom end, mortised to receive the ends of the sash bars, and with a tendon at the ends to pass through the side pieces, which should be 2Va inches wide. A permanent hotbed should he ao constructed as to be heated either with fermenting manure or by radi ating pipes from the dwelling or greenhouse heating plant, writes Prof. L. C. Corbett of United States de partment of agriculture. For a Hotbed with Brick Walls. permanent bed, in which manure fs to supply the heat, a pit two or two and one-half feet deep, according to the lat itude In which the work Is to be done, should be provided. The sides and ends may he supported by a lining of plank supported by posts four feet apart, or, what is better still, a brick wall nine Inches thick, as shown in B^g. 1, may be used. In either case the pit lining should come flush with the surface of the soil. The site for the pit should he on naturally well- drained land, and a tile drain from the bottom of &e excavation should be provided to prevent the water from ac cumulating In the, pit and stopping the fermentatloh of the manure during the period the Hotbed is in use. Standard hotfied, sash are three by six feet. The pit, therefore, should be some multiple of six feet Ih length, and the width Should be the same as the length of thd sash—six feet. The plank frame, or the brickwork of the pit, may be extended above the sur face of the ground sufficiently to al low for placing the sash iminediately upon these permanent strActures. In the autumn the pit sli6tild' be filled with leaves or straw and covered with loose boards or shutters.to pre vent it from becoming ' filled wl^h snow and ice, and In ordet that It may he ready for use earljy Ifa March.

An abundant crop Is reported this year, selling on the tree at 48 to 68 cents per 100 pounds. [ DIDN'T WANT TO VVASTE TIME. Colored Fisherman Mpet Satisfied Whfen the Bites Were Few. Riding across the country one day. Dr. Blank noticed an old negro who had been for quite a while perched motionless upon a little bridge, fish ing silently from the stream- beneath. For somie time he watched him from a distance, but finally, overcome by the old fellow’s unmoved patience, he rode up and accosted him. “Hello, 'Wash! \What are you doing up there?” “Fishln”, sah,” came the reply. “Not getting many, are you?” \No sah.” “Well, It seems to me you’d get tired fishing so long without a bite.” “I doesn't want no bite, cap’n.” “Well, that’s funny. Why don’t you want a bite, Wash?” “Hit’s this-a-way, cap’n: when I gits a lots o’ bites, hit takes all meh time to git the fish off’n meh line, an’ I doesn’t have no time fob fishln’.”— Success -Magazine. \My! What a big figure you 'are getting!” “Well, what does that matter? I haven’t taken yours, have I?” GIRL WAS DELIRIOUS With Fearful Eczema—Pain, Heat, and Tingling Were Excruciating— Cuticura Acted Like Magic. \An eruption broke out op my daughter’s chest. I took her to a doctor, and he pronounced it to be eczema of a very bad form. He treated her, but the disease spread to her back, and then the whole of her head was affected, and all her hair had to be cut off. The pain she suffered was excru ciating, and with that and the heat and tingling her life was almost un bearable. Occasionally she was deliri ous and she did not have a proper hour’s sleep for many nights. The second doctor we tried afforded, her just as little relief as the first. Then I pur chased Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, and before the Ointment was three-quarters finished every trace of the disease was gone. It really seemed like magic. Mrs. T. W. Hyde, Brent wood, Essex, England. Mar. 8, 1907.” India’s Precious Metals. It is estimated that 11,500,000,000 in gold, .and perhaps as much In sliver, is hidden away In the Hindu stocking. Vast quantities ofjthe precious metals are known to be Sept in the form of personal ornam«mts. From time imme morial India has been a reservoir into which the precious metals have flowed from all quarters-of the globe, only to disappear from statistics. Could the idle wealth be drawn upon, the effect on the industrial and commercial life of the country would be very great. It Is, therefore, a matter of concern to try to turn India’s dormant capital to active use. It may be Impossible to do it. The Oriental mind views every thing In a way incomprehensible to westerners. But If only a tithe of the concealed hoards of India were vital ized a new aspect might be given to the conaltlons of life In England’s great eastern empire. NOT THE RIGHT MAN. The Rejected—^And will nothing make you change your mind? She—M’yes, another man mighL PUTTING IT UP TO BILLIE. Logical Reason Why He Should B b the One to Ask Favor. The wagons of the \greatest show on earth” passed up the avenue at daybreak. Their Incessant rumble-- soon awakened ten-year-old Billie and his five-year-old brother, Robert. Their mother feigned sleep as the two white- robed figures crept past her bed into the hall, on the way to investigate. Robert struggled manfully with the unaccustomed task of putting on his clothes. “Wait for me, Billie,” his mother heard him beg. “You’ll gst ahead of me.” “Get mother to help you,” counseled Billie, who was having troubles of his own. Mother started to the rescue, and then paused as she heard the voice of her younger, guarded but anxious and Insistent: “You ask her, Billie. You’ve known her longer than I have.”—Everybody’s Magazine. Rival Dignities. An Englishman, fond of boasting of hIs ancestry, took a coin from his pocket and, pointing to the head en graved on IL said: “My great-great grandfather was made a lord by the king whose picture you see on this shilling.” “What a coincidence!” said his Yankee companion, who at once pro duced another coin. “My great-great grandfather was made an angel by the Indian whose picture you see on this cent.”—Ladles’ Home Journal. WANTED TO KNOW Tha Truth About Grape-Nuts Food. It doesn’t matter so much what you hear about a thing, it’s what you know that counts. And correct knowledge Is most likely to come from personal experience. “About a year ago,” writes a N. T. man, ‘T was bothered by indigestion, especially during the forenoon. I tried several remedies without any perman ent improvement. “My breakfast usually consisted of oatmeal, steak or chops, bread, corfee and some fruit. “Hearing so much about .Grape-Nuts, 1 concluded to give it a trial and find out If all I had heard of It was true. “So I began with Grape-Nuts and Cream, 2 soft boiled eggs, toast, a cup of Postum and some fruit. Before the end of the,first week I was rid of the acidity of the stomach and felt much rellev^. “By the end of the second week all traces 6f indigestion had disappeared and I was in first rate health once more. Before beginning this course of diet, I never had any appetite for lunch, but npw 1 can enjoy a hearty naeal at noon time.” “there’s a Rea- sto.\ Mame glvAn by Podttim 0 6 „ Battle Creek, Mich, ttead “The Road to Well- ville,*' la likgS. •' Ever rtead the above letter?

Walter Pater, an old man at 50, bald as a coot and grotesquely plain, re garded every woman much as did Dean Swift, who wrote: “A very little wit is valued in a woman, as we are pleased with few words spoken Intel- iiglbly by a parrot.” “You don’t ap prove of marriage?” a friend once ob served to Pater. ”No,” he replied, “nor would anybody else if he gave the matter proper consideration. Men and women are always pulling dif ferent ways. Women won’t pull our way. They are so perverse.” Imaginary Holidays. 1 know a man who cannot afford to travel, and yet has a delightful way of deceiving blmselt. He learns about the cost of traveling, the proper cloth ing to he worn, gets a time table, and arranges excursions for himself to various places, and then reads about them In books of travel.
