FORCING RHUBARB.
v van cso successfully Grown During
the Winter Months.
It is possible nml practicable for
every farmer to supply himself with
."huharb during the winter months. In
niuu.v instances It will l>e found profitable.
The essentials for the successful
production arc good strong roots,
nt least three year* eld, and u suitable
place for forcing.
The methods of handling roots and
crop during growth are simple and in*x|R.?nslve.
For location of the forcing bed select
any place where u temperature of 40
to < >' degrees can l>c maintained and
from which the light can be excluded.

corner of the house cellar is often
the most accessible and desirable. Curtain
off the desired amount of room
and put in about twelve inches of medium
loam. This soli should be in
food workable condition and fairly
moist. It is essential that this room
should lie frost proof. The necessary
heat for such a place can usually be
obtained by use of a lantern or lauip
If the amount of room is not large.
When it is large some other method
of heating will have to be devised. A
rurnace lu tin- cellar will (urulsh the
necessary heat.
The main requisite is that the roots
be thoroughly frozen before being put
luto the forcing bed. ltoots cau be
thawed or not before planting, as de
aired. It is not necessary that the
roots la; thawed when set. They rnnj
be put us close together as possible in
the bed without injury to their growth
if there is sufficient soil present to
keep theui moist. The amount of soli
must be enough to cover the roots. If
the plants are in a large bed It is advisable
to place them so that there is
r room enough to walk between the
rows. Very little watering is needed,
and the growth In darkness induces
the production of a large proportion of
talk with small leuves. The rapidity
of growth and coloring of the stalk
re largely controlled by the temperature.
The higher the temperature
the more rapid the growth and lighter
the color of the stalk, explains New
England Homestead.
The plants may be forced any time
during the winter months ffnr
mercial production about Jan. 1 seems
to be the time for the setting of plants.
This brings the crop into the market
during the latter part of the month,
and a continual supply Is maintained
until the outdoor crop comes into the
market In April.
A Smokehouse.
The diagram shows the plan of a
amokehouse found satisfactory by one
of our readers. In this case the smoke
oven connects with the barn cellar,
but it could be readily built out of
doom. The oven shown in cut is three
feet square, with aheet iron door. The

at each end. Over the end of the pipe
in the floor of the house is a deflector,
a flat square stone laid on four pieces
of brick, which c&usos the smoke to
All all parts of the house. This arrangement
Is much superior to the old
plan of building a Are in the smokehouse,
as it supplies cool smoke and
does away with the danger of fire,

one of the ideal condition* of agriculture
and almost a necessity to the l
truck fanners. This consideration explains
the undoubted interest in Irrl , |
gat ion schemes and their progress to
some extent, at least, in humid regions.
One of the irrigator's problems everywhere
is the waste water which sinks
Into the soil from ditches and reservoirs.
The loss sometimes amounts to
more tliau half the total flow. The
water which escapes is often worse

Southern California alTonis one of
the great tiehls for study lug :r: Ig i
tion. 1$. A. Ktchevorry of the S...
university, tracing the progress lhere.
says thai canals were lirst paved v. i t
river bowlders or cobblestones. This ??
paving was then lint.roved upon by
paving and cementing. I'lasioi ing with

wore introduced afterward. The use ) l; V
of steel or cement pipes has become
mueli in favor In southern California. MWhere
the volume of water to ills!rile
ute is not large they have to a great
extent replaced the smaller open ditch.
The advantage of lining a canal is T
not alone the decrease in seepage. Otlier
factors should lie considered. First. '
the prevention of growth of vegetation , '
is an important item and is quite an
expense when iu most cases the ditch
or lateral must lie cleaned out several 'tec
times during an Irrigation season; sec- soil
ond, the resistance to scouring, on
which depends tlie velocity which the t
water can he given, and. third, the of >
prevention of squirrels and gophers 1
from burrowing Into the hanks and p;i.
bottoms of ditches. j
The cement mortar lining is reported
by Professor Eteheverry to lie probably
used more extensively In southern "
California than all the other ineth- yy

ods combined. It has proved very
efliclent, and Its cost is small. The
Jurupa canal, in the vicinity of Itlver- ,
aide, ns shown in the cut, is lined In
this manner, the lining, however, being
only one quarter to one-half inch thick.
Thin plaster lining is subject to rupture
from burrowing animals and
from storm water wushing out some
of the back filling. It is proDahle that
this kind of lining would not resist the
climate of a country subject to very
cold weather.
Heavy road oil lias been experiment
ed with and found very effective in
preventing growth of aquatic plants.
Puddling with ciny Is suld to l>e a
good preventive of seepage, but it does s
not hinder vegetation. ^
8oil Sterilization.
The results of tests at the Vermont A
experiment station show that soil ster- <?;
illzation is an effective means of preventing
or controlling some of the
worst enemies of greenhouse plants. g\
Professor Stuart considers it "one of I f
the most Important of the more recent
developments of greenhouse technic" j
and believes that "on account the anc
severe injury so frequently cauK.;.i by
nematodes to tomatoes and cucumbers 1
