Proper Care Of Farm Tools.

The main cause of failure OF many
farmers, as well as of men in other pur-
suits, is simply bad management, or
rather no management at all, having no
matured plans ahead and using tools in
ferior for the purpose, doing twice the
labor that should be done to perform the
job. How often we see men who work
hard and constantly with their hands al.
ways behind and in hot water, work
always driving them. Another great
secret to success is the taking care of
tools, keeping them well housed when
not in use. do not allow nv wagons.
plows, harrowS, cultivators, mowers,
harvesters, seeders, etc, to lie out, even
over Sunday or over night in catching
and showery weather when it can be
avoided. Machinery and farm utensils
of every kind lying out from time to
time and year to year is terrible manage
ment and thrift is impossible with all
these leaks of care and cultivation, and
these same men condemn their occupa.
tion and show GOODNESS toward their
neighbor who succeeds without SEEM
ing effort. To sum up, get tools suita.
bic for the work, keep them housed al
ways, keep your wagons and machinery
well oiled, watch closely the burrs and
keep them up snugly. A safe way to
prevent danger of burrs coming of and
breaking ma hinery, Thave found, is to
upset slightly with light riveting
hammer every bolt to hold the burr snug
in its place, and always keep tools in the
field ready for these little emergenc es.
To have a set of harvest hands waiting
while some one runs to the house or
barn to get wrench or hammer is costly
business. Whenever you see your har-
ness giving way don't wait until it
breaks down in the field and stops team
and hands. An ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure - Virginia Farm

Tree Borers.

A late bulletin issued from the Ohio
Experiment Station describes the round
and fiat headed apple tree borers: gives
a description of the beetles, their habits
and methods of propagating their spe.
es; also describes the well l-known bark
louise, concluding with the following ex-i
tract, which we publish as being equally
eiticacious in checking their ravages on
the orange, fig, peach. plum, etc.
Fortunately says the writer the in
juries not only of both these borers, but
also of the bark louse discussed. may be
prevented by single, easily applied
remedy. 1t consists simply in applying
late in May or carly in June, and again
about three weeks later, a strong solu-
tion Of soft soap, to which has been
added a little crude carbolic acid. This
mixture may be conveniently made by
mixing one quart of soft soap or about a
pound of hard with two gallons of water,
heating to boiling, and then adding a
pint OF crude carbolic acid. The solu-
tion should be thoroughly applied "a
scrub brush is excellent for the purpose)
TO the trunk and larger branches of the
tree. If the bark of the tree is especial
ly rough it should be scraped before the
wash is applied, and the soil should be
smoothed down about the base of the
trunk, so that there will be no cracks for
the insects to enter to deposit their eggs.
of course the object of this application
is to prevent the laying of the eggs from
which the grubs hatch. As an addi-
tiOnal precaution it is we'll to examine
the trees during the late summer and
early autumn months for eggs and young
grubs, which are readily detected, and
can be easily destroyed with knife In
this way one man can 90 over an orchard
of 500 or more young trees in day.
The soap and carbolic acid wash can
also be successfully used in freeing trees
infested with the apple tree bark lousa,
whose presence is detected by the pres
encc of minute oyster shell shaped scales
on the bark Of the limbs. If one of
these scales be raised early in spring
there will be found beneath it a mass of
ycllowish or whitish eggs, which hatch
about the middle OF May into small lice,
which appear as mere specks to the
naked eye. These move about over the
bark a few days, when they fix them
selves upon it, inserting their tiny beaks
far enough to reach the sap. Here they
continue TO increase in size, aud by the
end of the season have secreted scaly
coverings. As has been ment oned above
the soap wash recommended for the pre-
vention of borers also effectually de
stroys this pest. The mode and time of
application for the two kinds of insects
is the same.

A SImian Microcenbalist

A microcephalist, aged eighteen, has
arrived in Vienna, Austria, from Galicia,
and has been placed under the charge of
Professor Nothnagel, of Vienna Univer-
sity. The head of the youth is extraor-
dinarily small, fiat on the sides, and
coming to point at the crown. The
unfortunate is an idiot, but possesses a
great power Of imitation and repeats
words without difficulty, lie has TO be
tended like a baby, and is very fonG of
dolls and other toys. In showing him
TO his hearers during a lecture the other
day, Professor Nothnagel said that the
man in appearance and in habits greatly
resembled monkey, from which ami.
NAL. however, he was distinguished by
his power of speech. Besides, the Pro-
fessor added, nothing hrs been found in
microcephalic brains which would point
to closer affinity with the monkey

FARM AND GARDEN.
Extracting Honey.

1have been a careful observer and find
that when bees are at work best in boxes
there will be scarcely pound of honey
in the body of the hive, if the hive has
the right size of brood chamber, which
is one having a capacity of about 1900
cubic inches If a hive holding 2200
cubic inches is used, as was formerly rec
commended, of course some honey will be
stored in the brood chamber, but not to
crowd the queen of any account during
the carly honey harvest, but later on they
may. Even with this size of hive I
would think il doubtful experiment to
use the extractor on the combs below,
and believe that if any one expects to
get a large yield Of comb honey and use
the extractor on the brood combs at the
same time, they will not realize their eN-
pectatlons. After the bees get thoroughly
at work in the boxes let the brood combs
alone and you need have no fears Of the
queens being crowded. If honey accu-
mulates in the comb before the bees get
fairly in the boxes. have no fears, for as
soon as they get to work in the boxes
they will carry it up into the sections,
and make abundant room for the queen.
For instance, l have repeatedly hived
swarms on nine Gallup frames well filled
with honey, all capped over, putting on
the boxes at once. and in from fourteen
to eighteen days Gf honey is to be had in
the tields) had every bit Of it put in the
boxes. G. n. Dooiittte, IN Rural Home.

A Glimpse Of Lima.

Lima, Penn, was, before the last war,
rival of Madrid in art treasures, but
there remain only two statues-Colum-
bus handing a crucifix to an Indian girl,
and Bolivar rearing his horse in front Of
the Inquisition Building. The Presi.
dent of Peru lives in the residence Of
the late Henry Meiggs, and a grocery
store is kept in the corner Of this palace
The Lima women are beautiful and
dress accordingly. Some of their man
tas, or shawls of China Grape, cost $500.
The manta is square in shape, and two
yards in extent, folded triangularly, and
the center of the fold placed upon the
forehead; one end of it falls down in
front of the dress to the knee, and the
other is thrown around the neck and
fastened at the breast with pin. The
women, consequently, can look with
their very rich eyes out of a little fold
of this cOncealment; in youth the wo-
men are slender, short and graceful. At
twenty-five they arc fat. No woman
with a bonnet is admitted to any Catho-
lie church on the west coast Of South
America. - Cincinnati Enquirer.

Alcohol DuIls the Moral Sense.

Deterioration of the moral obligation is, as
serts DIR. W. c. Towers, among the earlier
phenomena of alcoholism. It is perverted
and enfeebled, and sentiments of honor, of
reputation and Of decency are no longer
cherished or regarded. The responsibilities
Of social life and the propreties of personal
conduct are no longer considered. He who
was thoughtful now becomes negligent self
ish and indifferent; gives himself up to in
dulgences, and cares not for his reputation or
that of his family. The conceptions of duty,
of honor, Of justice are lost. These changes
are gradual and progressive, their evolution
being largely influenced by the hereditary
traits and previous moral culture of the in
dividuaL The sense of obligation to his
family is forgotten, and the responsibility of
providing for and caring for others is untelt.
The affections are not only enfeebled, but
perverted, and not rarely are they displaced
by hatred and aversion. He who was calm
reasonable and patient becomes excitable
and perverse and intOlerable of opposition
after a while, the character being more
changed, joys and sorrows fail to provoke
real feeling. At last the confirmed sot mani
tests moral traits that are simply infantile.

state of sobriety, and SO far destroys it;
another glass excites him still more; third

passions; a fourth increases all this; a fifth
makes him foolish and partially insane;
sixth makes him stupid-a senseless, degraded

went out early one morning in pursuit of
worms and, after being out all day, she sue
ceeded in filing her crop full of worms; she
had the misfortune to be met by fox, who
at once proposed TO take her life to satisfy
his hunger. The old duck appealed, argued,
implored, remonstI ated. She said to the fox:
You cannot be SO wicked and hard-hearted
as to take the life Of harmless duck merely
to satisfy the cravings of hungerm She ex-
horted him against the commission of so
great sin, and begged him not to stain his
soul with innocent blood. When the fox
could stand her cant no longer, he said: ''Out
upon you, madam, with all your fine feathers;
you're pretty thing to lecture me for taking
lie to satisfy my hunger. Is not your own

nnn,tKiII1he nIduens.

When hens are shedding feathers they often
stop laying and grow fat. Most people consider
fat sign Of health. The fattening of moult-
ing hens, however, as with some people, pro-
duces debility rather than health. Many of
the worst cases of roup are contracted, while
the hens are moulting.
The fo1d Of moultng hens, II largely yege-
table is fat-forming and not equired for grow
ing feathers. Therefore corn-fed hens get very
fat. They need more nitrogen and phosphate
elements in their food when moulting, which II
not supplied they stop laying, because the
growing feathers have used all, and left no nj
trogenous matter to form eggs. At this season,
killing old hens and relying on young pullets is
a great mistake, where people have few hens
and late pullets. Because, if properly fed, the
hens will have their new plumage and laywell
all winter; while the pullets unless specially
treated may not commence laying until spring,
when high prices for eggs have fallen one-half.
Again an old hens egg will hatch more Wig
orous chickens than pullets egg.
John X. Jones, Sufield, Conn, breeder Of
prize winning notified Javas, says;
Il find Sheridans Condition Powder, fed once
daily in the food, very valuable for moulting
hens. l have used 1t two years for exhibition
birds. IL assists in growing new feathers
makes the combs a bright red, and gives arich
gloss 10 the plumage. 1t will also make hens
lay and the eggs hatch well. l find when the
other egg-foods are used in quantities 10 force
egg production the eggs do not hatch.n
Theabove is the experience Of many people
in using Sheridan's Powder. If fed TO young
pullets now as directed, they will begin 10 lay
before six months Old. Commence at once
using Sheridan's Powder. lt helps old hens
through moultng, and gets the pullets in lay
ing trim before the season of high prices. Eggs
will sell very high this fall and winter There

writer in the Ladies' Pictorial saws:

a disease as it is vice has long been recog-
nized by such of us women as has given any
study TO this sublect-one which, l am sorry
to say, is of growing Importance as regards
our sex. A friend of mine, who has devoted
much time TO the reclamation of female

life. In the one case very poor woman had
become such slave to it that it was only by
stepping into the road in passing a public
house and avoiding the mere smell of drink
that she was able TO keep the pledge. In an
other case lady of good position used to
throw herself on a couch close her eyes,
clutch her hands, and literally fight against
the craving when it came with exceptional
force. Happily, she, too, conquered, but the
two instances show painfully enough how in
