Ten years in the use of cross ,cut
saws has proved to me that have la
bored under many disadvantages until
recently. My wish is for all to know
the great advantages of plan which |
pursue. Take a new saw that has
never been set, place it between two
boards that has been cut to fit the saw,
clamp it tightly on a bench or vice;
take an iron wedge, Gle one corner to
suit the set Of the teeth when finished,
then take small hammer, hold the
wedge with the left hand, strike the
tooth lightly with the hammer until at
the right place then turn the wedge
on the opposite side, and on the next
tooth, and set in the same way. Now
then, you reach the third and most i'm
portant tooth in the saw. Leave it
perfectly straight; pass on to the fourth
tooth and set as you did the first; turn
the wedge and set the fifth the other
way; leave the sixth straight, and SC
on till you finish. Now take your file
and dress the two teeth as you do the
common saw; the third file perfectly
straight and square, leaving it about
one-twentielh part of an inch shorter
than the others. Continue in that way
until you finish, aud you will find that
it will cut twice as fast as the old way.

The Earth and Noon.

According to the recent calculations
of Mr.. Darwin, the earth and the moon
must have formed only one body some
hfty.four million years or more ago, and
at time when this body was rotating
at the rate of about one revolution in
five hours the mass now forming the
moon became separated from it.
Thus was the moon born; and Prof
Ball, in his exposition of Darwin's
views, concludes that in time the wound
on the earth became entirely healed,
leaving no scar to testify to the mighty
catastrophe. To this final conclusion
Mr.. o. Fisher now offers an amend
ment. He believes that the scars are
the ocean basins. When the moons
mass. was thrown from the earth, the
LIQUID interior must have risen to fill
the hole, aud portions Of the granite
crust must have been borne toward the
cavity. The hole only partially filled
up, and the crust became broken into
fragments which now form the cont
nents.

Milo Maize.

Col. Bennett H. Young is strong in
endorsement Of this new forage plant.
This is what he says: "This curious
plant has readily domiciled in this coun-
try. 1t has been growing for several
years with astonishing results. Gener.
ally cultivated, it would indeed make
the United States the granary of the
world.
1t yields, under fair cultivation, from
seventy-hve to one hundred bushels of
grain to the acre, and from one and half
to two tons of dried fodder to the acre.
1t is frst-class food for stock of all
kinds and poultry. 1t can be raised
for halt the price of corn, and by rea-
son of its peculiar power of resisting
drouth, is far more certain. 1t is as
nutritious as corn, wheat or rye, and
produces more muscle aud fat than
either.
Of green forage, the yield to the acre
is almost fabulous, ranging from thirty
to sixty tons.
Probably the most curious feature
of this remarkably plant is its ability to
resist drouth. Yielding temporarily
to the influence of dry weather, no
sooner does rain fall than its former
bright green is restored, and it becomes
as fresh and luxuriant as if it had never
felt the absence of moisture. 1t has
been tried in various portions of the
country ard will succeed well at all
points south of the Ohio, and Missouri,
Southern Indiana, Illinois and Ohio.
Horses, cattle and hogs eat the grain
and blade freely and in preference tc
corn. 1t produces a palatable bread
and can be used as an element in pro
ducing not only cheap meal but most
abundant supply of pork and poultry.
In growth it is somewhat similar tc
millet. Quite number ofstalks sprou
from each root, reaching a height o
ten feet The suckers can be pulled of
and planted like cabbage, and vii
grow as readily as from the seeds.

Facts Worth Remembering.

Alcohol and whiting will clean silver
in any form.
If you are buying carpets for dura.
bility, choose small figures.
Kerosene oil will remove rust from
knives. Emery paper is also good.
Glycerine and fresh lemon juice will
both soften and whiten the hands.
Lye made Of wood ashes will soften
hard putty in few minutes.
GlYcerine and lemon juice will aid
in removing tan from the face.
The best thing for the hair IS castor
oil and brandy enough of the latter
to thin the oil.
One or two geranium leaves, bruised,
bound upon a cut or abrasion, will heal
it at once.
A weak solution of the permanga.
nate of poLassa will deodorize your
breath.
Milk stains on serge dresses may be
removed by sleeping the part in warm
water.
A gallon of strong I've put in bar
rel Of hard water will make it as soft
as rain water.
A teaspoonful Of hartshOrn put in
your basin Of water when you wash
your body in the morning will gener.
ally prevent offensive perspiration.
To wash calicoes or muslin without
fading, soak them two or three hours
in pail of water in which two ounces
Of sugar of lead has been dissolved
then wash as usual. If they soak
longer it does no harm.
To cleanse the scalp, take one tea
spoonful of powdered borax, one tea
spoonful of hartshorn, and one quar-
of water. Mix all to together and ap
ply to the head with soft sponge
then rub the head with dry towel
Use once a week.

Air The Bedding.

Housewives, don't neglect to air
thoroughly the bedding. Don't make
up the beds as soon as they are vacated
in the mornings. Remember that
through the 100000 pores of the body
passes off in sensible or insensible per-
spiration more than one.half your food
and drink. The large amount of this
that passes off during sleep, when the
body is warm in bed, is absobed by the
apparel and bedding--which should be
throughly aired before being used on
the following night. Ventilate well
the bedrooms and thoroughly air the
bedding. Am. Farm and Home.

Am. Farm and Home: There are
thousands of so-called farmers scattered
over this fair domain who do not aud
never did take an agricultural paper.
There is really no excuse for them in
these days, when newspapers are SO
cheap. Farmers may think they have
no time to read but they have plenty
OF it. There are the mornings, the
rainy days and the evenings. Each
farmer has two leisure hours where his
wife has one; yet the woman always
finds time to read and often to remem-
Der and practSe:what they read in the
family paper. There is now no ex-
cuse for ignorance when 50 inexPen-
sive aud so excellent an educator as a

The Trick of A New England
Thief.

Boston Tran8cript:-A successful
thief on New England railroads mana
ges to sit near traveller whose trunk he
knows to be valuable. Then he tries
to turn over the back ofthe seat, pre-
tends to find some difficulty with the
lock, and asks his victim for the loan
of his check to slip down upon the
catch, and so throw it out of place.
While thus using the article, he ex-
changes it for another, which he hands
back without the trick being detected.
At the end Of the journey he loses nc
time in presenting the stolen check and
getting away with the baggage tc
which it isattached.

What Is Farming.


1t is something more than staying on
a farm. 1t is something more than
skinning the soil. 1t is more than sell
ing hay and potatoes, and bulky crops
unanimalized. Farming is business,
practical and scientific operation
whereby the soil is used for profit, and
improved under the operation. The
process of nature must be understood
and worked in harmony with the chem
istry of earth and air. The process of
the elements must be understood, if not
in their technical terms and language,
in that sensible understanding, that
common sense way, that their own ad.
vantage and capabilities may be turned
to best account. The lawyer works by
law and precedent, the physician works
by symptoms ahdindications, the. mer'
chant by rules and observations, the
mechanic by measures and capacities.
The farmer must work by abby rules,
laws, observation and experience. He
must be a practical lawyer, doctor, mer
chant dnd mechanic of the vegetable
the animal and the trade world about
him. He must be skilled workman
in the productive, operative and com
mercial circle in which his business lies
and his sphere of circulation extends
