Rhubarb of delicious quality and color can be produced In a cellar, or outhouse, under a mild heat. Har vested at this time of year it will bring 12 to 14 cents a pound. ' With its attractiveness, and the lower price of sugar, It finds a ready market. H can be grown this way either for home or market use. Spring planting of vetch should be made as early as posslble--before March 10 either on (all or early spring plowed lands. Sown alone, the rate is 90 pounds per acre. With out-s, use vetch 60 pounds and oats 48 pounds per acre. The combina tion crop is best, because If the vetch should fail there Is still a likelihood that the oats will make a crop. Some "Don'ts" ln Little Tot's Diet Pie, doughnuts, fried potatoo, tried cabbage, fried bam, fried eggs, warm bread, pancake, biscuit, coffee or tea, rich cakes, rich puddings, rich stews or soups, candy except at end of meal. Use plenty of milk, cereals, fresh vegetables and fruits.' Normal chick growth calls for some such muscle-forming foods as milk, eggs or meat scrap with the grains and ground feeds. A small amount of bone meal added to the mash Is advisable. Inoculation of soils lacking in the proper legume bacteria but otherwise favorable to alfalfa, clover or other nitrogen-forming crop, will help in getting a better stand and a better crop. The cost Is slight by using the O. A. C. experiment station cul tures, which are especially prepared and sent to growers at production cost two-acre bottle for . 60 cents. CARE OP BEES IN THE WINTER MONTHS By O. S. CREOO, Bee Expert Every Winter we are asked by beginners In the bee Business to tell them what Is the matter with their bees. Tbey frequently find a good many dead bees scattered over the surface of the snow, or on the ground In front of the hive, and Immediately Jump to the conclusion that some thing is wrong. A short time ago a maB cam9 hurrying to the. store de- supplies had been-removed hut Fall, also that the hives were very heavy, but it they were not starving why , dlcUthey die? which were hatched so late that they j had nothing to do with bringing In tho last of the stores, will usually winter through, und It is upuu these bees that the work of starting brood rearing the next Spring will devolve, but there will also start the-Winter a great many bees hatched during the latter part of the season which will die of old age during the season when the bees are confined closely to the hive. These old bees will crawl from tho cluster, or drop on the bottom of the hive, and on the first warm day the vigorous workers of the colony will set to work' to "clean house" with all the vim and bustle of the human housewife. While they are unable to take broom and mop to remove the accumulated debris, their methods are fully as effective. Each worker will seize one of her dead sisters by wing or leg, drag the bur den out through the entrance and, If 'possible, fly several rods away fronti .,, n the hive before dropping her load.IV NEWSPAPERS STARVR' Others seem content to push the dead bees, through the entrance and let them drop to the ground where they sometimes accumulate In such num bers as to lead the inexperienced bee man to believe he is losing his colonies. satisfaction the brisk activity of the bees in getting rid of the useless lit - tor Imt nnv lilvn which, after a sneli obJ(jct of gugplclon and the owner of a tew bees at the entrance, or it may bring only a sleepy buzz In pro test against the disturbance. Lift ing the hive for the purpose of form ing an estimate of food conditions may convey the information that grim starvation is lurking in the hive, in which case the bees have little ambition to engage in labor wljlch they know only too well -will be use less and for which days, possibly weeks, of short rations have reduced strength and vitality to a point where manual labor Is Impossible. In case a shortage of stores is Indicated, if the owner is to save the colony ho must tuke advantage of the first warm day to open the hive und give the bees, one or more frames of seal ed honey, or, in the absence of boney, give them a supply of pure sugar syrup, (2 pints of granulated sugar to 1 pint of water,) in a suitable feeder. It may be that because of stores of poor quality, such as honey-dew, which the bees sometimes gather ln quantity late In the season, the bees are afflicted with dysentery, or that through loss of the queen .it tho be ginning of winter there is apparently no hope of starting brood renrlng. In either case the bees are inure than likely to remain quietly in their clus ter, too sick or dispirited to take note of the fact that outside the sun Is sffinlng and that their more pros perous jieighbors have been released from confinement and are having n holiday. Given a supply of food of good quality, the dysentery will prob ably disappear, but for the colony which Is queenless in winter nothing can be done except to wait for- the coming of settled-warm weather when the remnant of the colony may be united with another hive, or, if still strong In numbers, a queen may bo purchased ftom a breeder and Intro duced. - - -" The.colonies which have been pack ed at the beginning of winter, that Is, the hive given suitable protection against both cold and wet, will usu ally be found ln the spring to be in much better condition. Also,, it will be found that brood rearing has been started several weeks earlier in the protected hive, and In consequence when the first blossoms appear the colony will have a targe number of workers ready to go to the field and bring ln the new pollen so necessary to the welfare of the young brood, and It Is almost Invariably the col ony which gets a strong and early start- later In the season brings In Ae big crop of honey. Don't disturb the bees In any way during the winter or early spring unless you have good reason to be lieve tbey are starving and will "be lost If not given food. Don't attempt to unite, transfer or move colonies before the fruit trees are in full bloom. Too early manlp- ulatlon of the bees may lose for you all the advantages secured through successful wintering and the colon ies weaken and dwindle away Jast at the time when they should other wise be balldlng up ready for th harvest.

HIGH SCHOOL ROOTER DE FENDS BASKET MALL TEAM Medfbrd, not satisfied with three trimmings from Ashland and two from Roseburg, wants to go .to the state meet and get a few more. We'll have to hand it to Medford for inn. Irnnu.inff whim itiav tiftvA anmiah " although on the bottom of the south ern Oregon list, losing six out of eight games. The visitors' critics claim that her team is tar supe'rlor to the Ashland High school quintet which heads the list with one defeat. K you will recall last year Med ford it es cleverly refused to schedule games until after, the state meet, when Coach Matthews of Salem chose the red and white five to rep resent southern Oregon, Our sister city contested, and through a series of telegrams succeeded ln getting the trip of two hundred miles JuBt to receive a good walloping of 24 to 11 from tho Granite City. . Now the Medford fans give the cause of their defeat to the size of the Ashland gym. Their statement tbat our floor is under standard size is not correct. The gym floor Is con siderable larger than the minimum regulation court. You notice they say nothing of the defeat on their own floor which is anything but n palace to play in, because of the largo cracks, loose boards, leakage from the celling and over size bump boards. The statement has been made by Medford that Roseburg have agreed not to play any more garnet with Ashland until th,e local gym Is dif ferent arranged. When I played in the Roseburg gym I noted their floor is but throe feet wider, no long er and the position of the hoops art very similar to those of the Ashland I gym.- '- - ' - I Uefoire the' first game of the series Referee Bohler of Eugene told the; teams the one that played the clean-! est would win the game, Coach Hughes' men exhibited first class 1 style of clean basketball, beating!

I ' Medford stated that its team won a basket ball game Friday night. It is jny opinion that the absence of untln w" " ,hit wa Ucrln ,0 make this an Indoor footbull contest In this style of play the red and black certainly outclassed the local team. The Medford guard's treated the Ash land forwards ss If they thought "W. were ponies in a Polo contest. We are glad Medford was able to get a game under any conditions fo'r It Jias revived their hopes for the future. AN A. H. S, ROOTER. WEATHER REPORT.
