Caught Remind Tn. Rat.

Invent TO see game OF ball,
common scrub affair,
To pass away an idle hour
And dissipate dull care;
Watched the game little while
And then-o oh woful fiat
On being urged to take hand
Icaught behind the bat.
The balls came in both fast and hot
But in my boundless zeal
counted not their rate OF speed
Nor seemed their warmth to feel.
But suddenly wicked foul
Concussed me meath the hat
! Thought II was cannon ball
I'd caught behind the bat.
The healing power OF time has soothed
The pain OF that event,
And to my store Of wisdom has
A larger measure lent;
Inever more will play baseball,
My minds made up on thatl
I'll wager that I'll ne'er again
Be caught behind the bat.

when she has deposited her eggs in the bag
like case she falls to the ground and dies.
Late in the following spring these eggs
hatch out into small brown larvae which
feed on the foliage of the tree to which
they attach themselves. They begin to
build for themselves silken coverings, to
the outside of which they fasten pieces of
the leaves upon which they feed. In time
each of these silk-lined coverings becomes a
bag, suspended from the lower side Of the
limb or twig. When they have attained
nearly their full growth, these larvae have
an unpleasant habit of spinning down upon
any person who is under the tree.
Having spent the sunny hours Of June
and July in stripping the leaves from the
trees and rendering themselves generally
disagreeable, the Larvae fasten their pen
dent homes securely to the twigs, and
change to the pupa form. After brief
period they burst forth from their pupal in
closures, the male to tiutter his brief hour
in the waning sunshine, the female to lay
her eggs inside the empty bag and die.
The most effective method Of clearing out
this pest is shown in the accompanying Illus
tration. Throughout the winter the bags,
are plainly seen hanging from the twigs
and are readily removed by means Of fine
wire brush at the end Of a pole Of the proper
length to reach them by a man standing be-
meath the tree. The bags having been
brushed off are gathered up and burned. A
very little labor will clear an orchard or
row Of shade trees.

Bent Wood Furniture.

The material TO be bent, as practiced in
Austria, is usually the red beech, a product
of the Hungarian forests. In the United
States the common beech and birch are
used and stained with the aniline reds Eodi-
fed by logwood and Brazilwood. The tim
Der is sawed into strips of the proper size
and finished in gauge lathe or by hand 10
the required proportions.
They are then placed in tight case Of
wood or iron, and subjected TO steaming
process for few minutes, and In work re-
curing specially sharp bends the last steam
is superheated slightly or the goods put
under high pressure steam IN an iron case
with sealed door, capable of fifty pounds
pressure. This makes the wood very pliable.
Mods of wood or iron are used of the ex-
act shapes, into which the hot strips are
bound at the moment of removal from the
steam case. In from two to eight days the
strips are set and dry, ready for assembling,
finishing and varnIshin g.-Scientifc Ameri-

buried in such position that the post can
not be moved out of place without pushing
those timbers lengthwise through the solid
earth. If the earth has been beaten around
them, no force that can be brought to bear

Bag WORMS and How to Destroy Them.
One of the most troublesome and destruc-

trees, says the American Agriculturist, is
the bag worm or basket worm (Thpidop-

overrun and prey on variety of fruit and
shade trees, both deciduous and evergreen.
The perfect insect is moth, the male hav-
ing flmy wings, which give it the appear
ance Of large wasp rather than moth, as
1t futters around on warm summer days.

serve to strengthen the gate, and one board

FARM GATES.

They Should BE Strong and simple-This
Article Tells You How to Make Them
So.
Gates, says writer In the country zen
tleman, may be properly classed with labor
saving implements and machinery. Some
of the fields and Enclosures are entered
many times day. A gate is opened and
shut in q few seconds. The removal of bars
or other barriers requires much greater
time and labor. Some entrances on every
farm are passed several times day during
most of the year, and with little labor, If
good Substituting and self-fastening gates
are provided. II only ten times day, and
for hundred days, there would be thou
sand passings to be made. If the owner,
who has neglected to provide gate, were
required to open and replace set of bars
for a thousand times in succession, he would
probably conclude before he had half COM
pleted the job that it would be much cheap
Hr to make or buy gate.
Neatly constructed gates to each field on
the farm impart an appearance of finish to
the premises, which every one will enjoy
who discriminates between order and neat
hess on one hand, and confusion andneglect
on the other.
Now that the busy season Of the year is
approaching, there are many farmers who
may properly devote few days to the
construction of simple and cheap farm
gates for entering fields which have been
unsuppied, or where old gates, crippled by
age, may be replaced with new and
freely working ones. We furnish to such
of our readers the following descriptions,
from which sections may be made accord
ing TO the facilities or materials which may
be procured or which may be on hand.
Fig. represents a gate made wholly OF
inch boards, three inches wide, placed to-
gether. The end pieces or bars Of the

or socket being placed at the corner, the
gate may swing wide open, the section Of
which arrangement is shown by Fig. 3. The
total cost Of such gate would not exceed
three dollars.
Mr. Geddcs did not regard this as the best
form for q common, cheap farm gate, and a
better one, which he subsequently used, is
represented by Fig. 4. He found it quite
sufficiently braced with the heel not ex-
tending upwards. The lumber for 12foot
gate, the screws, the hinges az inches
long,, and all smaller items, cost SIG. He
had seen one made and put together IN SO
minutes, on account of its simple construc-
ton. The lumber was not planed or painted,
which he thought needless outlay for ''good
looks merely.
For the benefit of farmers who can con-
struct their own gates without calling in a
mechanic he gave the following list of ma
terials: Two boards y feet long, inches
wide, for top and bottom; three interme-
date ones same length and 5 inches wide;
a board for brace - feet long; aboard 4
