Ten-Year-Old Julia Gets Into Bad
Graces of Mother by Giving Tramp
a Half-Dollar.
"He not forgetful to entertain
strangers; for thereby some have en-
tertained angels unawares."
The foregoing quotation is from
chapter xiil, verse 2. Hook of Hebrews,
and It Is introduced solely because It
constitutes a vital part of this story.
Julia is ten yearB old and she goes to
Sunday school. It appears that on a
recent occasion the Sunday school
teacher had considerable to say about
this matter of "entertaining angels
unawares." Anyway, it made a deep
Impression with Julia.
A few days after the lesson Julia's
mother left her in charge of the house
for a few hourB. When the mother re-
turned she went to a particular cup
In the cupboard to extract therefrom
one-half dollar. In this cup is kept
the family pin money, and Julia'B
mother knew that she had put 50
cents there before she had gone out.
Rut the half dollar was gone. There
was an expression of anxiety on
Julia's face and mother scented mis-
chief.
"Did you take that money?" asked
the mother, somewhat severely.
Julia broke into tears. "I gave It to
a man that came to the back door,"
sobbed the little (jlrl.
"Gave it to a man!" exclaimed the
mother. "What for?"

GROWING RHUBARB IN
VERY COLD WEATHER
Plant Can Easily be Forced in
Cellar During Winter
Months
Rhubarb can be eaBlly forced In the
farmhouse cellar In winter and the
stalks had six weeks to two months
earlier than usual.
For this purpose rhubarb roots
should be dug late in the fall and al-
lowed to freeze. They should then be
from same. The size of this build-
ing may, of course, be changed to Buit
your requirements, but It will be a
wise Idea before building same to
submit a pencil sketch to the manu-
facturers of the elevator, dump, etc.,
as they are always willing and anx-
ious to furnlBh prospective purchasers
with blue prints or drawings showing
how the building should be arranged;
and by so doing you will possibly
save some trouble and avoid useless
expense.

(By H. J. DUNLAP, Cologne, Germany.)
Of late years many writers in com-
paring the results of raiBlng wheat in
the United States and various Euro-
pean countries seemingly jump to the
conclusion that the difference in yield
is wholly caused by the neglect of the
American farmer to fertilize properly
and cultivate his land. To a certain
extent this is true, but It does not
account for all the difference. In the
United States the wide range of tem-
perature, not only in summer, but in
winter as well, has much to do with
the crop. The extremes in winter
freeze the plant in the winter wheat
regions and the heat and drought in
summer in the northwest spring wheat
country ruin or shrink that crop.
In Europe the conditions are en-
tirely different. In England, France,
Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Nor-
way the climate is not subject to such
extremes of cold in winter. In the
four first named countries the tem-
perature seldom goes below zero (Fah-
renheit), while in summer the tem-

of what the weather will do to a crop
that started under favorable condi-
tions and which, if It had not been for
the cold winter, would have been a
record breaker.
Another feature In raising grain in
the European countries mentioned Is
the awkward and expensive way of
planting, harvesting and handling—a
method which, If followed In the
United States, would make wheat cost
at least $1.60 a bushel. The amount
of hand labor bestowed on a five-acre
field of wheat In Germany would, if

at least n majority of It Is done, by
