Laramie, Wyoming, has a woman who runs a theatre. Pretty Root, they call her in Laramie, in appreciation of her daintiness. She is small, energetic, tact- ful, and she knows the show business from advertising to counting the receipts in the box office. She is the whole thing, and nobody is left in any doubt on that point. After she took hold of the theatre she did not like the way the ushers were doing their work, so she placed herself at head of corps and showed them how. showing them.

The subject of emigration for gentle- vomen 15 atiracling pd Increaing amount of attention throughout (he British Empire, both in the motherland, where the surplus and unemployed wom an is a serious problem, and in the col- onies, where these same women sorely needed. It is said that this partly the result of the Boer war. The intense patriotism of the Boers and their faith in their cause is generally attr uted to the lessons learned at mothers’ knees, and it is further serted that Englishmen who were mar- ried to Boer women have nearly always proved disloyal The Boer method consequently comir into the wilderne much favor.

FORCING ASPARAGUS AND RHU- BARB. Asparagus and rhubarb are forced rom old roots brought mn from the gar- den and subjected to a gentle heat. The crop is made from material stored up The « after being through the forcing period roots are thrown away forced and others brought in for the next crop. Both these crops may be grown in out-of-the way places—under the benches, in corners of the potting shed, or in fact anywhere where heat and moisture may be had. One method of forcing rhubarb is to grow it entirely in the dark. This produces a very ten- der stalk with very fittte foliage. There is a new idea in the forcing of asparagus and rhubarb which as vet has not been thoroughly tested. This idea is the use of permanent plants in- stead of the large five or six year old roots that are forced once and then thrown away. It is quite possible to cover a large bed of asparagus very cheaply M means of cloth placed over a framework of iron pipes. In early spring the heat is turned on and the plants are forced more gradually than in the com- mon and wasteful method, After the crop has been taken and spring is ad- vanced the cloth roof and sides are re- open air. Everything should n be done to enable the ants to store up a great supply of reserve food for the next season's forcing. Blanched rhubarb, or that in the dark, a beautiful product which should sell on sight to the fancy trade, and I recommend it to the consid- eration of all private gardeners who have not tried it. The stems are very delicate attractive in color. They are y strong enough to stand srupIment or exposure in a store for any length of time, but on the other hand their flavor is much superior to hubarb grown in the light. 1 am in- that asparagus and rhu- promising winier cr ps >, E.
