"A new pest has come to trouble the
farmers of the Guadalupe and Oso Flaco
region, San Luis Obispo County. New,
which they call the "bean bird,'' as it is
very destructive to the fields of that
plant, and in the past season has totally
destroyed the beans of some fields and
greatly injured all. The bird resembles
the wren, is a tiny little animated limp
of gray feathers, appearing in great
numbers, but not in dense fiOcks, never
alight in trees, but make their nests
and roost in the ground. - Chicago

"A mixture which is excellent for re-
moving grease spots and stains from
carpets and clothing is made Of two
ounces of ammonia, two ounces Of
white CASTLE soap, one ounce of glycer-
inc, one ounce Of ether; cut the soap
fine, dissolve in one pint of water over
the fire; add two quarts Of water. This
should be mixed with water in the pro-
portion of a teacupful to one ordinary
sized pail OF water. Mix Thoroughly and
wash soiled garments in it. For remov-
ing spots use sponge or clean flannel
cloth, and with dry cloth rub as dry
as possible. Wooden goods may be
made to look bright and fresh by being
sponged with this. Boston Transcript.
AS a matter of economy and good
management. says the Rural Messeng =,
be sure to have a rat-proof crib. This
can be done at very little trouble or ex-
pense Build the house of skinned
poles or lattce-work plank; let the sills
rest on small blocks four feet high, cap
ped with sheets OF tin or large tin pans
inn erted, and be guarded to leave moth
ing leaning against the house but step
ladder, and tn must be kept under the
house except when in use to get out
corn. This being done, you will no
longer be pestered with the filth and
was; of rats and mice. This is the
year to have you cheap rat-proof crib
and help to save your shelled corn
crop.
