The Woodchuck Gains “Standing” 
We never had so many letters about 
woodchucks as are coming this year. Re¬ 
ports have been made that dressed wood¬ 
chuck meat brings 30 cents a pound on 
the public market at Johnson City, N. Y. 
We wrote the market master, John S. 
Patterson, about this, and be replies: 
A good many of our farmers kill and 
bring woodchucks to our markets, and 
generally it is bought up by the buyers 
that attend the markets. 1, too. have a 
great many inquiries about woodchucks, 
and many from a distance desire to ship 
them in to us, but the farmers close by 
furnish about all that can be sold; be¬ 
sides, we have no way of handling any 
goods of any kind except through those 
who attend the markets themselves. 
In regard to the class of people who 
buy them, I have seen many times beau¬ 
tiful cars of well-to-do people driven up 
and parked near the market buildings, 
the visitors coming straight to me and 
asking: “Have you any dressed wood¬ 
chuck on the market? I want to get a 
nice one,” etc, Now, many well-to-do 
people like woodchuck moat this time of 
year, before they get too fat and greasy, 
while they arc feeding on clover. They 
dress them for market just the same as 
they do rabbits, and resemble the latter 
very much after they are dressed. 
Every country boys knows about wood¬ 
chucks. We have all shot or caught 
them. In our day only a few of the low¬ 
er class of people would eat the beasts. 
We all liked rabbit meat, but a wood¬ 
chuck was too much like a rat to be pop¬ 
ular. Now it seems the meat is becoming 
popular. Well, others may have our 
share.

The next convention of the American 
Fomnlogieal Society will be held in Coun¬

operation with the Midwest Horticultural

Dr. .1. C. Whitten of the University of 
California, one of the best known pomo- 
logists of the country, has been elected to 
the executive committee to fill the vacancy 
caused by the death of G. Harold Powell. 
The sheep breeders of New Hampshire 
held their annual meeting at the capitol 
recently and re-elected William F. Rob¬ 
bins of Rindge as president and Coun¬ 
cilor George IV, Barnes of Lyme as vice- 
president. The wool pool of the past 
year was reported a success and it. was 
voted to try it again. 
Four hundred purebred bulls are to be 
distributed in Western Canada soon by 
the Canadian Federal Government as a 
part of its general campaign to replace 
scrub animals with purebred herds. The 
bulls have been purchased by the chief of 
the live stock branch of the Department 
of Agriculture at auction sales held re¬ 
cently in the prairie provinces. The 
sales were a part of the Government 
campaign. In distributing the purebred 
animals the Government arranges easy 
terms of payment. The Calgary bull sale, 
considered of small importance a few 
years ago. now is one of the largest of 
its kind in the world. 
Bleach one row of celery with Areanddee, and you'll never use dirt or 
boards again. Areanddee is cleaner and faster than dirt; costs less 
than boards and is easier to apply. You can handle a hundred feel of 
Areanddee more easily than one board ; you can buy a hundred feet of 
Areanddee for the cost of two or three boards.

Easter Lily After Blooming 
Would you tell me of a way to keep 
the Easter lily so that it will bloom 
again? I suppose these lilies are forced, 
ami perhaps can never bloom again un¬ 
der ordinary conditions. E. G. A. 
Morristown, N. J. 
When blooming is over, leave the lily 
in the pot, giving full sun and plenty of 
water tu keep it growing. As the weath¬ 
er becomes warmer, plunge the pot out¬ 
side; that is, sink it in the soil the depth 
of the pot, putting a shovelful of coal 
ashes in the bottom of the hole to keep 
earthworms out of the pot. Water regu¬ 
larly until about August, when growth 
will gradually cease and the leaves will 
become yellow and wither. Water should 
then be gradually withhold as the top 
dries off. When the stem is dead the pot 
should be stored in the cellar, where it 
will not dry out entirely until it is pot- the rural new-yorker, may 27, 1922 
ted. In October shake the dry earth off 
the bulb and put in a dean pot. Ap¬ 
propriate soil is two-thirds good loam 
and one-third well rotted manure. Put 
broken crocks in the bottom for drainage, 
and put the bulb in the middle of the 
pot, with 2 in. of dear space above it; 
barely cover with soil. More soil is add¬ 
ed later for the stem roots to run in. 
Keep tin 1 pot in a cool cellar, or (dunged 
in a sheltered place outside, watering 
when needed, until roots are well formed, 
when it may lie brought into the house. 
Success in blooming a second year de¬ 
pends on the health and vigor of the 
bulb.
