It may be grown on any type of soil, from light to heavy loam. A stony, gra- velly or heavy clay soil should be avoided, The ground should be as rich as it is possible to make it. Thirty to forty tons of stable manure per acre may be applied at the start, and the ground plowed deeply and well worked. Rhubarb does best in a deep, rich, mellow soil. A clay soil or one with a hard pan subsoil should be avoided. The ground should be heavily maims ed, and worked deeply., it is impose eible to overfeed this plant. FARM NEWS AND VIEWS. Plowing 15 inches deep, with a sub- soil plow following ordinary plowing, has been foisnd unprofitable on test plots at the Ohio Experiment Station. Sub -soiling has produced an 'average increase of less than half a bushel to the acre. Corn yields an acre, clo- ver has shown no benefit, while oats have 'yielded most with ordinary plowing. A nail can be driven into tough wood much easier if first rubbed with lard. A stubborn mit is much easier re- moved from a bolt if both are heated very hot. An iron bar, with a..rather sharp, non -flexible point is a splendid tool with ;which to remove or pry out refractory staples. Moistened wood fibre plaster is e splendid thing with which to stop rat holes in bits.

FOR PROFITABLE VEGETABLES. A soil may be rick in plant food and yet the plant be unable to make use of it. T1s is because the physical condi- tions of the soil are not suitable for the plant's development. Plants must- have feed, but there must also be suitable condition for root development, and a uniform sup- ply of moisture. A soil that la heavy and compact may be rendered :Suitable In texture by proper working at the right tini ie or it May, by improper working, be made practically uselese. Through the incorporation of humus or vegetable matter and proper cuitiva, tion, it is possible to make a soil that dries otit quickly retentive of moisture. Stable manure frequently gives better results thau commercial fertilizer for the reason that it improves the physi- cal condition of the soil, and supplies Plant food. Plant food only is supplied bY commercial fertilizers. 'Where soils are in good physical condition, and contain a reasonable amount of humus, the best results are secured by com- mercial fertilizers. Practice is modified by conditions. 'What might be suitable for a heavy, compact soil might not do in a light soil. .A. heavy type of soil might re- quire deep cultivation, but on an open, leachy soil such cultivation would not. be advisable. It is harder to change the physical condition of a .soil than it is the chemical. TOMATOES AND ONIONS. A, well -drained, sandy loam is best for the tomato. It also needs a high temperature and a warm, sunny loca- tion. for best development. The tomato does best When supplied with well - rotted manure, at the rate, of ten to fifteen tons to the acre. Then, when applied in spring, should be plowed under to a depth of four inches, and the ground worked by cultivating six inches deep. Commercial fertilizers, at' the rate of 500e pounds to the acre, Is a good substitute for stable manure. The onion thrives best in a light teem soil that is rich in plant food. Light learns' can bo worked to better advantige than heavier loams, and do not dty out so badly during hot wee- Uter. It it iinportant that there be plenty of availahle plant food if pro- fitable crops are to be obtained. it possible, soil that has been manured for seyeral seasons previous should be selected. The land should be free from stones and weed seeds. Onions may be grown year after year in the same land, •end it cannot be made too rich. One of the best fertilizers is barnyard manure, well rotted, applied in the fall had plowed in shallow, about four itecb,es deep. A. good application is fifteen tons per acre, annually. Where there is a good supply of vegetable matter in the soil, good crops may be grown with commercial fertilizers, ap- plied at the rate of 500 to 1.000 pounds per acre, sown broadcast and harrowed in just before seeding. ' CABBAGE, CAULIFLOWER AND CELERY. Cabbage responds to any good gar- dexi soil, but a warm, well -drained, sandy loam, very rich in plant food, is best for early cabbage. For late cab- bage a heavy soil and northern ex- posure is best. As th.e cabbage is a gross feeder, there is not much danger in having the ground too rich. Twenty tons or more per acre of manure can be used, and this may be supplemented with from 500 to 1,500 pounds of com- mercial fertilizer for an acre. Where quIckly-deeeloped, marketable early cabbage is wanted, commercial fertil- izer Is especially advisable. Ground that was manured and plowed in the fall 'Mould be plowed again in the spring' and thoroughly worked to a depth or six inchea. Cauliflower requires a cool, rich loam, and, if possible, a northern ex- posure. Dry weather often results in failure, and where watering is possible It may -be advisable. Celery is not so particular about the quality of its eon. Almost any soil from light sandy to clay, and even tuck or peaty soil, may be used. The chief requirements are a soil retentive of moisture. but one well drained and rleb. In plant food. However, a rich, Sande loam will produce the firm, crisp heads that keep best in storage, and are superior in quality to the average celery grown on peaty or innek sells.

Rectetrar 4.444.-•-•-.4.4++•-•-44-4-4-11,-•-*++++ 'The Secret. of Wareles1 The question is often asked, How Is it 'meanie to operate several wire- less stations In the same vicinity with- out mutual interference? To answer the question it is necessary first to explain the theory of their operation in general, A frequently used yet perfectly good illustration is that of likening it to the action of throwing a pebble Into a still pond, which causes ripples to form in all directions in a circular fashion from the spot at which the pebble dis- appeared. In the centre the ripples are well pronounces], but as they broaden out they gradually clIminish in intens- ity until they disappear altogether finally. A. larger stone will cause stronger and broader ripples to form. So it is with wireless or radio com- munication, in which the exciting force Is the."spark" or discharge ot high potential electricity oscillating at • a very high rate of speed. The power of the transmitter and the efficiency in "tuning" determine the distance of communication. We come now to tbe theory that science gives as an ex- planation of its operation. Scientists tell us that wireless, Or more properly, electro-magnetio waves, are but another form of motion, as are light, heat and sound. These all move in the ether hi the air, and wireless waves are likewise propagated in the ether. To those at all familiar with the scientific theories of light, heat and sound, it is scarcely necessary to add that all these forms of motion have individual and measurable wave lengths. • It, is in the measurement of radio waves and their adjustment that It be- comes possible for numerous stations to onerate simultaneously in compara- tively close range to one another. Thus stations working orr a wave length of 500 meters and properly adjusted _would cause no disturbance with an- other station operating on a wave of 600 meters. In fact, not so very long ago Marconi, the ,perfector ot wireless communication, announced that he would soon have apparatus that would enable stations with but a .variation of five metres to Operate without each dliturbing the other. (A metre is about 39 inches.) At the present time, however, com- mercial ship and shore stations usually operate on wave lengths of 600 metres, 450 metres and 300 metres, with effi• .eient means of rapidly changing from ona to the other. Naval stations, ship and shore, commonly operate on wave lengths varying from 600 metres to 1,600 metres. The powerful station at Radio. Va., formerly Arlington, usu- ally operates on a weve of 2,000 metres, Generally a change of 5•per cent. of a station's wave length is sufficient to overcome disturbance caused by the operation of nearby stations. To fur- ther eliniinate interference the various Governments of the world have agreed upon certain wave lengths to be used by commercial stations, and others by naval and Government stations. Some of these have been given above. An- other reason for such wide divergence of wane lengths is that for the purpose of overcoming the effects of "forced oscillations." By this is meant the uncontrollable WILVOS that aro given off by every station, but which fortunately do not carry very far. Were they to travel any great distance there would be a great deal more of "jamming," as was the case when wireless was in its embryonic tato. Tiie advantages eari be the Mere readily appreciated whers one realizes that frequently there are a score Or More of. eldpe outhe water within a radiate of ten miles or so, as often happens an a big Sailing day at New York, such as Saturday, lloweYer it Is not to be supposed that all these ships are able to carry on cenununication, at one and the same time; it Is an achievement If riveof them can do so. Herein, also, can be $0011 the advantages of effici- ent apparatus properly attiusted, to- gether with skill in operating. In effi- cient apparatus there is a minimum of "forced oscillations" given off, and the Wave lengths are well and sharply defined, thereby enabling stations to "tune" closely and eliminate a great deal et disturbance from this source. Knowing now that the number of dations that can operate at the Kane time in crowded areas is limited it is well to onow the part that the opera- tor plays in such instances. It is known that the wireless opera- tor must constantly wear his "receiv- ers," or speelally constructed tele- phones, to be able to rapidly and effi- ciently operate his station. He must frequently change from one "tune" or wave length to another, to be on the lookout for a call or await an oppor- tunity to do some calling himself. When the operator desires to commu- nicate with another etation and finds that some other station is already operating on his wave length he ar- ranges his apparatus to operate on a different wave length. Often it so happens that ail his available wave lengths are being used. In that event he finds it Bometimes necessary to operate on, and directly through a wave length being used by other sta- tions at that time, The factor that comes to his aid in such cases is the fact that all stations hare "sparks" of varying tones or notes. Therefore, even though there be several "sparke" that are being heard on one particu- lar wave length, and experienced op- erator can pick out the "spark" with 'hich he is working, muck the same as two persons conversing in a room in which there are quite a number of people all of whom are talking, listen to the conVersation bf some one per- son and who are practically oblivione of the other conversation about them. Not only must he often work through other stations, be 'mist con- stantly be on the • alert, for he must be aware of the general drift of the "conversation." of other stations oper- ating near him so as to be able to know approximately when such and Ruch a station will discontinue send- ing. This is essential, for in crowded areas stations operate in turns ac- cording to the order in which they have signalled. their intention of send- ing; the shore station usually taking note and later giving instructions. Should the operator 'have been "off tune" or inattentive, he is apt to cause interference by breaking in durieg periods of seeming inactivity. as, for Instance, when a sending station has ceased transmitting and is awaiting the "0. K." of the receiving station or iIs perhaps awaiting correspondence that the latter may have for him. The "Make Believe of Flowers. PILES.

In these days of wireless telegraphy it May be interesting to learn that as long ago as July, 1898, the Geograph- ical Journal recorded the discovery of a Wireless telegraphic apparatus 111 use among the Catuquinaru, an Indian tribe of tile Amazon valley, in South Anterica. The apparatus, called cambarysu, consists of a hole in the ground about half filled with coarse sand; above this layers of fine sand. fragments of woOd and bone powdered mica fill it al- most to the surface of the ground. These materials are surrounded by a case of hard paltti wood, which ex- tends above the surface. The upper part of' the apparatus consists of lay - ere of hide, wood and hard rubber. BetWeen there is a hollow space. With a club, mu& like the stick used to P/aY a bass drum, the native strikes the layer of rubber that forms the top of the instrument. One or'these instrantents la cOn- cettled in each henget of the tribe. The villages are not more than a mile apart and are placed in a direct north and (south line.
