FORCED RHUBARB.
Not Exasting In Its Requirements of
High Quality.
The following process for forcing
faubarb given by a Kansas farmer la
American Agriculturist is well adapted
for securing an early spring crop:
Rhubarb can be forced In a cellar, In
a box, even In the kitchen or in well
or poorly constructed forcing houses.
It Is perhaps most commonly forced in
low double spanned, roughly and
cheaply constructed houses. An exca
vation two to three feet deep may be
made and arched over with a roof of
boards or logs, covered with hay. straw
or fodder and the dirt of the excava
tion thrown over the entire roof. No
pnrtlculnr facilities are necessary for
WJ.U
FOBCED RHUBARB.
ventilation. Unless in a severely cold
winter, the house can be heated by
use of ordinary heating stoves. In
more expensive houses and in case of
extreme cold a system of hot water or
steam heating would undoubtedly be
advisable.
Good, strong two, three or four year
old plants are used in forcing. The
plants to be used are dug in the fall
and, with their adhering soil, left in
the field and covered with enough soil
to prevent drying out. It is best to
leave them there until they have been
frozen through. About January, earlier
or later, as the case may bo, the roots
still retaining their soil are brought
into the forcing honse. They are set
or packed close together on the moist
dirt floor. Moist soil, preferably a rich
one, is filled in about each plant, cov
ering the crown slightly. After they
are once thus packed In they may not
need watering, but the roots and soil
should not be allowed to become dry.
Only strong, vigorous plants will pro
duce the large, thick stalks eighteen to
twenty Inches high. When properly
grown, the forcing house product Is at
tractive, of delicate color, tender and
of excellent flavor. After the plants
have produced this winter crop of
leaves they will have become exhaust
ed and are of little or no value.
Sowing Seeds.
In regard to sowing seeds for an
early start in the spring Country Gen
tleman has the following, among other
things, in the way of useful hints: Sow
some cabbage, cauliflower, beet, onion,
celery and lettuce seeds and string
beans in your hotbed, or, if you have
neglected to make one, sow your seeds
in shallow boxes with some cinders in
the bottom and then filled with light,
lonmy soil. Sow thinly, cover lightly
and pi^t the boxes in a sunny window.
In ease you have hotbeds don't forget
to give them plenty of fresh air on fine
days, and water the seedlings freely.
Continued Use of Silage.
The argument is occasionally made
that the continued use of silage has a
deleterious effect upon the constitution
of the animal. The ground taken is
that the acids affect the digestive func
tions and in time impair the bodily
vigor and productive capacity. To my
knowledge no such claims have ever
been substantiated, and the average
feeder need have no fears in this re
gard.—Professor F. W. Taylor, New
Hampshire.
Convenient Window Boxes.
Many people have to start all their
early plants in the kitchen windows,
and the space is usually rather re
stricted. The cut shows a stand with
a series of boxes, one above another.

The next day the stand can be turned

Basic Slag Meal.
Basic slag meal has proved through
out to be a highly efficient phospbatlc
manure at one of the eastern experi
ment stations. Its relative efficiency
has been particularly high where those
plants have been grown which are
helped by liming. This Is doubtless
due in part to the fact that it contains

EXPERT METHODS.
Plan For Testing the Quality of 8eed
Corn.
Professor Holden, the western corn
expert, has been making the rounds ot
the New England farm and New York
state meetings, as reported in Ameri
can Cultivator. Besides describing liia
method of selecting seed corn, the pro
fessor advances other ideas with re*
gard to New England farm methods.
He advocates growing the cattle feeds
on the farm and Insists that eastern
farmers will grow more dent corn and
that alfalfa will soon be considerably
grown here if farmers will thoroughly
drain the soil to a sufficient depth to
make the soil sweet, thoroughly pul
verize it and make a firm, solid seed
bed, sowing the seed early in August.
Foes to the Corn Field.
Professor Holden told of his own
work among the farmers of the west
by taking them right into their fields
and by personal inspection showing
them how they were farming at a
sacrifice, in that their fields were pro
ducing but a fractional part of what
they might be producing if every hill
were filled and every stalk were pro
ductive. He showed the difference in
the acreage with one, two and three
good ears to a hill and thereby led
up to the conclusion that the great
source of loss in corn production IS
the poor seed which so many farmers
use, either through carelessness or
false economy.
Testing the Corn.
Coming down to the point in hand, he
presented a plan for testing the quali
ty of seed corn by determining its ger
minating power, showing those present
the manner in which he was enabled
to select the good ears and reject the
bad by use of a germinating box, in
which. In separate compartments, sam
pie kernels from different ears were
placed and their germinating
soon determined, the bottom of the box !!!jg"b$„X

A SOILING CROP.
Heavy Yields of Green Feed Under
Favorable Conditions.
Thousand headed kale (lirassica o'.er
acea) has
been
grown in the Willa­
mette valley for twenty-seven years.
It attracted little attention among Ore
gon dairymen until recent years,
but
Kale is used for table greens, but its
chief use on the Pacific coast Is for
feeding green to dairy cows from Octo
ber to April, for which it is highly

prized. If the growth is forced in the
early spring, it can be fed much earlier
than Oct. 1. Kale would probably
be an excellent winter feed also for
hogs and poultry. It does best on well
manured, deep, rich loams and sandy
soils. The only objection to the use of
kale is the ditliculty of getting it out of
the field when the ground is wet and
muddy. For this reason well drained
land should be selected upon which to
plant this crop.
Where the weather is quite cold kale
is not. sufficiently hardy to stand out
during the winter, and its use as a
soiling crop would be limited to the
fall.
Proper Time to Plow Land.
The proper time to plow land is
when it is just moist enough to break
up mellow, neither wet enough to leave
a slick surface where rubbed by the
moldboanl nor dry enough to break up
In large clods, or, as the southern
farmer puts it, when the soil has
