Rhubarb.
How tow rhubarb plants 000 eooa
growing and how nlco that old-fash-iloaed
spring tonic lal Considering
tho fact that It costs practically noth
ing to plant it and tho plants oomo up
year after year, thoro la no reason
Why -wo should not, &Q of us, havo all
of' tho pieplant plo that wo con oat
every spring. Half a dozen hllla -will
supply an uvorogo family.
Harvest tlmo for rhubarb is tho
spring and early summer, but we fre
quently got a socond crop In tho fall.
Sandy loam is beet for this plant,
but it will grow well in any rich,
warm, moist soli. You cannot got tho
et5il too rich for rhubarb, and it docs
not stand drouth very well.
Do not try to grow tho plants from
coed if you can secure root cuttings
from a good, strong old hllL Each
cutting should havo two buds or eyes.
Plant them in rows throe foot apart,
with tho eyes an Inch below tho sur
face. Thoy will begin to grow at onco
and, if planted early, a few stalks
can be pullod tho first year.
As fast as seed stalks appear cut
thorn off. It very flno, largo stalks
aro wanted, and why not havo tho
best, thin out all but tho center buds,
so that tho entire strength of the
plant will feed theso.
After tho loaves aro cut back by
frost in tho fall cover the plants with
Tour inches of StrBWWfiiinrure. This
provent8 freezing and makes tho next
year's crop earlier.
Whllo tho plants will start early,
at the samo tlmo the leaves will not
push through this covering until after
danger of spring frosts is past, henoe
it should not bo removed too soon.
Many commercial growers keep tho
bo 11 covorod with straw tho year
round In order to keep woods down
and hold moisture without cultivation.
Oovor the plants in tho winter any
way. It will avoid disappointment
and Increase tho plant food.
Every three or four years it is ad
vlsablo to dig up the plants, divide
them and replant in another spot. If
this is not done, the plants run out
and the stalks grow small and pHhy.
Division and a new location start
them off again as good as new.
Any surplus can always bo odd in
the spring at a good prico as wo seem
to havo a natural craving for tho fresh
green acid qualities of this old-tlmo
"plo fruit." Eat lota of It. Eat it raw
and cooked, in pies and out of plos,
put up all you cannot oat and save it
for wintor, but grow it yourself if you
havo a two by four patch of ground
where the sun shlnos. It costs noth
ing to raise and It tastes lots bettor
when it comes out of your own patch.
And, furthermore, it Is a much better
spring tonic than sulphur and mo
lasses, or sassafras.

WILL HELP FARMERS TO SELL
New Federal Bureau to Develop Meth
ods of Marketing Farm Products.
Dr. Thomas N. Carver of Harvard
university has been appointed by Sec
retary Houston to take charge of the
proposed rural organization service, a
now branch of the department of agri
culture intended to aid tho farmer
along economic, social and co-operative
buying and selling lines.
Tho efforts of the service will bo di
rected toward teaching the farmer how
to market his products to better ad
vantage. The work of the department
in the past hns been largely addressed
to questions of production, rather than
to buying, selling and tho social prob
lems of farm life.
TRAIN PHONE GIRLS' VOICES.
Lessons Will Be Given to Produce
Sweet Tones.
The telephone company operating In
St. Paul and Minneapolis hns decided
that tho voices of its girl operators
are not what It wishes them to bo.
Tho result is that tho girls will be
given lessons In voice culture so tlielr
voices will sound sweet over the
phono. Tho company is taking a
chance, for with sweeter voices more
girls will bo asked to desert tho switch
board for the marriage altar.
Corrects Municipal Grammar.
Irritated by tho ungrammatlcal form
of "Go Slow" signs posted as warnings
to nutomobillst8, tho West Orango Im
provement league of West Orange, N.

change tho signs to "Go Slowly."

A Few Honest Pointers
In Regard to Paint.
When you go into a store and ask
for paint don't be misled if the pro
prietor or the clerk begins to sell you
paint by weight. Don't bo fooled bo
cause tho greatest weight does not
always mean the greatest value, for
instanco, green and dark colored
paint do not carry as much white
lead, as white and light colored
paints, therefore, if your dealer
weighs up a gallon of his competi
tor's paint, say green or somo dark
colored paint, surely it will not weigh
as much as a gallon of his white
paint. Then again thoro is a way of
making a gallon of paint weigh
heavy without much cost, but wo
hope no dealer In Honesdalo sells
this kind; a paint that is adulterated
with Barytes, which costs about ?20
per ton while pure whito lead is
worth about ?100 per ton, but tho
Barytes has very little if any cover
ing capacity, although it is heavy and
very white. These are only a few
facts that everybody should know. If
you want an absolutely guaranteed
paint a paint that one gallon will
cover 300 square feet, two coats
and a paint that will bo cheap in the
long run, you will surely make no
mistake if you buy DEVOE. Erk

SOCIETY AVOJIEN'S HAIR.
A Simplo Treatment That Will Make
It Truly Fascinating. Poll, tho
Druggist, Guarantees It.
Nowadays every up-to-date woman
has radiant hair.
What a foolish creature a woman
would be-lf she lost tho opportunity
to add to. her attractions.
Yet In America to-day there are
hundreds of thousands of women
with harsh, faded characterless hair
who do not make any attempt to lm
provo it.
In Paris most women havo beauti
ful hair, and In America all women
who use Parisian Sage have lustrous
and luxuriant hair.
And any woman reader of Tho
Citizen can have attractive and lustr
ous hair in a few day's tlmo by using
this great hair rejuvonator, Parisian
Sago.
Pell, tho druggist, sells a largo
bottle for 50 cents and guarantees
It to banish dandruff, stop falling
hair and Itching scalp in two weeks
or money back.
Parisian Sage Is an ideal hair
tonic, not sticky or greasy. Sold by
druggists In every town in America.
