Useful Household Hints.

To neutralize the smell of cabbage
while boiling, cook onions at the same
time. To destroy the smell OF the
onions, burn the house down.
A small soft brush should be used
to clean celery and potatoes. Use
only the best backing, and polish rap
idly.
To cure a folon, keep the finger in
bag Of salt. The same method can
be used to cure ham.

USE OF The HARROW.
The Importance of Using It Both Before
and After Planting.

and After Planting. -----ss-a-=----
Both in the preparation of the soil
for planting the seed and in COM
mencing the cultivation the harrow is
an economical implement to use.
With all crops. and especially with
those that are to be cultivated, it is
quite an item to have the soil pre-
pared in good condition before
planting the seeds. 1T is not often the
/ case that blowing alone will fiji the
soil properly for planting. And in a
majority Of cases it will prove good
economy to put in a little more time
narrowing and preparing thersoil in
a good filth instead Of planting the
seed in a soil not thoroughly pre-
pared! 1t is IL very important item to
commence the cultivation as soon as
possible after the crop has been
planted. From different causes it may
not always be possible to begin the
cultivation as soon as it should be
done, but preparing the soil in good
filth before planting the seed will be-
found valuable aid in this respect.
But, il the soil is wet, it is usually OF
very little benefit to use the harrow;
but, in what may be considered an
average season, the harrow can be
used before any other implement, de-
stroying the weeds and at the
same time fining the soil; and it will
do this more thoroughly and at less
expense than any other tool. As
rule the sooner the work is done after
planting the better the results will
be- With corn and potatoes .espe-
cially. two good harrowings can be
given with profit. When this is done,
it will usually be better to cross-har-
row the second time. Some prefer to
remove row of teeth, so as not to
run the risk of disturbing the plants,
but, under ordinary conditions. this is
not necessary, as the real damage
done is much less than the looks will
often indicate. Something. OF course,
depends upon the kind Of soil and the
harrow used, as some harrows do bet
| ter work in some soil than others,
and. like the majority Of other tools,
no one tool can by any means be-
considered the best for all purposes.
| On many farms it will be found
profitable to have different harrows
for different purposes, and at the
same time be sure they are adapted
to your soil.
| The sooner the cultivation can be
begun the more thorough the work
cad be done, and the betterswill be the
growth and thrift Of the plants. And
if good start is once gained it is
comparatively easy to keep it up,
hence the Importance Of using the
harrow both before and after plant

WhiteWash and Poultry.


A fowl-fancier writes that neatly
whitewashed roosts and fences make
the poultry-yard look clean, but tho
whitewash has more effect in subduing
or preventing the multiplication Of
lice, if some death dealing substance is
incorporated with It Carbolic acid is
death to lice, and II mixed with the
whitewash in the proportion of an
ounce OF the acid to gallon Of wash,
1t will not only destroy the lice that it
touches, but because OF the porous
character of the wash the acid will
continue to be effective for several
months. A good plan is to whitewash

A Famous Battle-Ground.

On the banks Of the Tippecanoe, small
stream which enters the Webash River in
Indiana, was fought the terrific battle Of
Tippecanoe
In this great struggle of frontier times,
the allied Western Indians under the chief
tainship of Elskwatawa, the prophet
were defeated in November, 1911, by the
Americans under the command Of Gen.
VIM. H. Harrison.
1t was desperate, hard-fought battle,
and much depended upon the result.
Had the Indians been successful all bar
riers of defense for the early settlers would
have been overthrown and the deadly toma-
hawk would have been active in the rapid
determination of the remaining pioneers.
On the other hand the fortunate termina-
ton of the contest put an end to further at
tempts at open warfare by the Indians. The
rich territory, so long overrun by hostile
savages,. was thrown open for settlement,
which RAPIDLY occurred as soon as the news
of the great victory became widespread
Naturally great praise was rendered TO
the success and intrepid bravery of Gen.
Harrison and he was honored IN many
ways He afterwards served as Com
mander of the Army Of the Northwest, and
when Indiana was admitted to statehood,
he was selected to represent the state in
the United States Senate. In $40 he was
elected President and his unfortunate de-
mise occurred shortly after being inaugu-
rated
The forty second anniversary Of the Bat
tie OF Tippecanoe found the gallant grand
son of "Old TIP leading his forces to a
great political victory which resulted in the
selection of Gen. Ben. Harrison as Presi-
dent Of the United States.
The Harrisons have been hardy race of
men, sprung from old log cabin stock.
which is sufficient guarantee of Its gem
lineness wherever found. Realizing the
truth of this, great effort has been made to
fre-discover some OF the secrets contained in
the old log cabin stock of useful articles,
and as the result, the famous Old Log Cab
in Sarsaparilla, universally regarded as the
best Spring tonic and blood cleanser has
been found. Not satisfied with the world
wide esteem which is held for Warner's
Safe Cure, the only cure for kidney dis
eases, the proprietor is willing to do all
that is possible to establish Warmers Log
Cabin Sarsaparilla- as foremost among
household articles on account of its purity
and Effectiveness.
After All, each individual has, at all times,
Esthe gfeat battle of life or death to light and

giyenst to the best weapons which science
can offer humanity in the great contest.
