4V USE BASKET FOR GRANARY ima indians of Mendocina County, Cailfornia, Use Big Rebeptacles Made of Willow. (By J. MAYNE, Baltimore.) The Pima Indians of Mendocino ounty, Cal., for many' generations tored their winter provisions in large illow baskets. It was the custom to )iace the basket granaries up on a high rude platform supported by poles, easily reached by means of lad durs. Hundreds of bushels of acorns. be ides corn and wheat were gathered and housed in these granaries for use taring the winter. IEach basket was rovided with a portable lid or top. Huge Basket Granary. -'Usually these baskets were compara tively not very large. Recently, however, the Pima In dians living near Ukiah wove an im mense willow basket which Is a rec ord-breaker for size. From the bot tom to the rim the immense basket sneasures 6 feet, while the outside' ,ircumforence covers 25 feet. The >asket itself when empty weighs 250 ,ounds, and the cone-shaped lid weighs 75 additional pounds, making total weight of .25 pounds. When filled with acorns, grain, etc., he total weight will nearly reach ,200 pounds. Very recently this "baby" basket ,'as purchased by Dr. J. W. Hudson, f Ukiah, and by him sold to the In titute of Arts and Sciences, of Brook. /7n, N. Y. The big basket will 1 shipped to e stern -s atlon. i. !~d hat it c tmot e put through the oor of a ordinary box car, and be ore belt h placed on board the car he openhng will have to be Nyidened o admit 'this special piece of freight. MONEY IN CAULIFLOWER CROP Little Chance for Success Unless Planted Early, as Plant Needs Cool AIr and Soil. (Dy WILLIAM H. UNDTORWOOD.) I have grown cauliflower for a num ser of sears and have found it a very profitae 'crop, as it brings a good price in the iarket. Soil that will produce cabbage Is m ritable for cauliflower, provided it is enriched with well rotted manure. The manurg should be thoroughly mixed with the soil and the ground put in the best possible condition. When thd seeds begIn to grow I give the plants suflcient air to keep them from rotting off. As soon as the plants are large enough to handle I take them up and transplant them t~ two inches apart each way and keep them well watered. I expose the plants to the open air before time to plant outdoors so as to harden them. I find that few plants die when treated hr this manner. -Several hours before setting out I give the plants a thorough soaking in the hot bed. When ready to set the plants I mark off the ground thr'ee teet each way and set the plants some what deeper than they grow in the hot bed and press the earth firmly about them. As cauliflower requires a cool at flAOsphere and a cool, moist soil, there is little chance of success unless It- is planted very early In order to come on before the heat ot summer, or it ,may be planted late and come in dur ing the cool weather of fall. In cultivating I use a one-horse cultivator twvice a week, goIng both ways when the plants are small. When they come to maturity and the flowers appear, I cover the flowers with a lent of the plant early every morning. have had good success in this manner of protection, KIllIng Quack Grass. Quack grass is a perennial and th< roots must be cut off under the sur face. Shave off the plants by running a shallow furrow. If Plower deepl3 the roots will not be much injurec and will come up again. A good was Is to harrow Out as many roots al Spossible after they have started in the spring and then follow with the plop as often as. they show up stt'ong Plant to millet or buckwheat in thi late summer as these crops have tenidency to smother quack grass.

Most braces for a corner-post re quire so much labor and, expeAse that the illustration will convey an idea well worth putting into practice, as the necessary materials for the bracd are virtually industructible, very eas ily adjusted and most effective in their application. Secure a smooth J Brace-Wire That Stays. wire 15 to 20 feet in length, double it, place one end around the post and the other around a large rock; dig a hole and sink the rock in the ground about two feet, tamping the dirt firm. ly down against it to hold it in posi. tion. A, post; b, wires; c, rock. To take all slack out of the wires and prevent the post from becoming loose, insert a hammer-handle or strong stick be tween the wires and twist it over and over until the desired tightness is ob tained. GOOD HITCHING POST DEVICE Strong Timber, Set Firmly in Ground, With Square Top as Shown, Is Very Convenient. Set firmly into the ground a good; strong post, with a square top, into which drive a staple and hook at right angles, as it were. To fasten horse, double the rope or strap, pass through Hitching Post Device, 31(. ? QIttal and over the hook, and the horse Is "safel'y' hitched. Staple or hook should only be large enough to admit a commnon-size rope or strap. Planting the Garden. In planting your garden bear in mind that it costs no more to grow the.best varieties of vegetables than it does to grow poor ones, and this applies also to all farm crops. It pays to be care ful in selecting varieties. Preparing for Market. In prep~aring your products for market give good weight and measure and good quality. People want what they pay for, and if they don't get it of you they will try sonme one else. Alfalfa seed should be pure. The farmer must keep up with the times. There is nothing hard to learn about operating a silo. As a fertilizer, nothing can beat barnyard manure. Every detail of his work interests the suiccpssful farmer. It Is none too early in the season to begin hardening the teams for spring's work. Orchard grass is taking well in some isolated places as a meadow plant. A frame mushroom house is un. doubtedlly a good place for forciug rhubarb. Rhumbarb is a crop like mushrooms in at least this one respect, it can be grown in the absence of light. The remaining months of the wvin ter will pass quickly, and then the rush and1 work of spring wvill begin. Early cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, wax beans andl dwarf peas go very nicely between the newly-set straw. berry plants.

IN CONSTANT PAIN. Little Rest and Less Peace for the Kidney Sufferer. Mrs. N. U. Miller, 1509 Jackson St., Baltimore, Md., says: "There. was scarcely a moment I was not suffering from kidney trouble. Every move mOnt caused misery and at night I could not sleep owing to the intense pain. Disy spells were frequent and obliged me to sit down to keep from falling. Kidney secre tions were generally profuse, then again scanty and deposited heavy sediment. My ' 'A feet and ankles were so badly swollen that mornings I could not wear my shoes. Today I am free from kidney trouble. Two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills effected a com plete cure." Remember the name-Doon's. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. ASTONISHED THE "OLD MAN" His 'Rah 'Rah Son by No Means the "Dude" He Had Hitherto Seemed to Be. The new governor of a western state has two sons. One is big and husky like his father, but the other is more slight; and at time he rather vexes his father by his affectation of 'rah-'rah-boy clothes and a general air of lassitude and dudishness. The two sons and the father were in the library one night and the name of a prizefight referee name into the conversation. The 'rah-'rah boy had been sitting by, twiddling his thumbs, but his ears pricked up at the man's name and he drawled: "I rather like that chap. He's all right." "What do you know about him ?" the other brother asked, rather con temptuously. "Oh, he gave me a shade the best of it one night." "Gave you the best of it?" both father and brother shouted. "Yes; you see. I fight under the name of Young Ryan and he counted pretty slow one time when I was down."-Saturday Evening Post. COULD NOT STAND SUFFERING FROM SKIN ERUPTION "I have been using Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for the past three months and I am glad to say that they cured me of a most annoy ing skin eruption. It began by my no ticing red blotches appearing on my face and scalp. Although they were rather disfiguring, I did not think any thing of them until they began to get scaly and dry and to itch and burn until I could not stand the suffering Then I began to use a different soap, thinking that my old kind might be hurting me, but that dida't seem to do any good. I went to two different doc tore but neither seemed to relieve fne any. I lost many nights' sleep in con tinual scratching, sometimes scratch ing till I drew the blood on my face and head. Then I started in to use the Cuticura Remedies and in two mo'nths I was entirely relieved of that awful pest. I am so delighted over my cure by Cuticura Remedies that I shall be glad to tell anybody about it." (Signed) G. M. Macfarland, 221 West 115th St., New York City, Oct. 5, 1910.

WANTED TO BE AGREEABLE Farmer's Rather Humorous Explana. tion for Telling Exceedingly "Tall" Story. Irving Batcheller once told a story of a farmer on the Connecticut hills. "Pretty steep land.for planting, isn't it?" a visitor asked the tiller of the soil. "Pretty steep," the farmer assented. "I suppose it's quite. diffioult to plant your corn?" "Quite diffcult," came the echo. The visitor was interested, and would not be put off with short re plies. "Eh-how do you manage to plant on this hill?" he persisted. . The farmer gazed at him pityingy "We have to shoot it dlli into the earth with shotguns, stranger," he as sured his guest. The visitor gasped. "Really?" he ejaculated. "Really now? Is that ao tually true?" The farmer sighed and turned upon his guest a look of withering scorn. "No, that isn't true," he answered "I'm trying to make conversation." OUT OF A JOB.
