each plank, and will take as many
teeth, which should be driven in so as
to project four inches below the bottom
of the plank. Make the holes in the
second plank SO that they will break
joints with the other row, that is, so
they will not track after the others.
These will cut and comb the ground in
a remarkable manner, and the small
Jumps that pass between will be ground
to powder by the sharp edges of the
planks that follow. The driver stands
on the crusher while working, or a seat
may be firmly attached to it. Should
there be much rubbish, this will bother
very often, but this can be obviated
somewhat by driving a staple near the
back edge of the rear plank: into this
tie one end of small rope two or three
feet long, aud the other end into a ring
to be held in the right hand. To dump
rubbish, step with the left foot upon
the slanting board at the front and at
the same time lift up with the rope,
which is all easily and quickly done,
and the obstruction will be drawn from
the tooth as the crusher moves forward.
In using the tool after the corn planter
the teeth should be driven back so as
not to run so deep as to disturb the
seed.-American AgriculturiSt.

Talking of patent medicines

Talking of patent medicines
YOU know the old prejudice.
And the doctors some of
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
e0erythzng and SO, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
"stuf," you lose faith in e0e1y-
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what their
makers say they'll you
get your money back.

In construction and can be made by any
one in couple of hours: the cost need
not exceed two dollars. Take two
plan Ks, two-by-eight inches and sixteen
feet long, cut each in two in the middle,
which will give four pieces eight feet
long. Then take two pieces of two-by-
four-inch scantling a little more than
two feet long; to these bolt or spike
the planks, tapping them two inches,
as shown in the engraving.
Slant off the front ends of the two
pieces of scantling, and nail piece of
board six inches wide on these ends to
prevent dirt from showing on top of the
ccusher when working. Bore a hole
in the front end of each scantling and
put clevis in each, attach with a chain
to dou bletree. Go to your blacksmith,
and have him take some three-eighth

six-inch lengths, and sharpen these

In many parts of the Western States,
especially in Illinois, young apple trees
are affected by disease in the roots,
produced by the attacks of woolly
plant louise This minute creature
works under ground. and produces upon
the roots swellings and excrescenceS of
1 sorts of shapes and sizes; these in
terfere materially with the trees supply
OF nourishment, and when very numer-
Gus occ lsion its death. DR.. Hull, of
A ton, H., considers it lone of the
worst enemies with which our apple
trees have to contend" and states that
1t is much more common than is gem
eraily supposed. In ls4s it was found
SO abundant in Chester County, Penn
sylvania. that thousands of young trees
had to be thrown away; and of late
years it has been very INJURIOUS in many
localities.
The apple root plant louise is little
over a tenth OF an inch in length, in
Guiding the closed wings, and of an
opaque color: though so very minute It
may De easily recognized by the pc
culiar bluish-whitc cottony matter
which it cxudes from its body, and
which is never met with in the case
of the common apple tree plant
louise that inhabIts the leaves and the
tips of the twigs. The easiest mode OF
getting rid of it is to Grench the infest-
ed roots with hot water. which, though
hot enough to destroy the life of the in
sect is not injurious to the vegetable
organization. In the case of young
trees that are being transplanted, these
insects may be destroyed by dipping
the roots in strong soap suds or to-
bacco water.-WeStern Rural.

while the balance of the world has "a

TIlE-LAYING HINTS.
San d Must BE Kept Out of the Drains
and Weak Points Looked After.

and Weak Points Looked After.
Tiles are in general most economical
to begin with and satisfactory in the
long run. 1t costs less to dig narrow
ditch for two-inch tile and pay for the
tile and lay it. than to dig and lay
stone drain: and when done the chances
of durability are in favor of the tile.
Some points must be observed carefully
in laying them, however, says Massa-
chusetts Ploughman. They must be
laid with uniform downward grade; any
deviation frCm this rule makes stag
nant water in the tile, which will soon
fill with sand or mud and cause stop
page; carelessness in this particular
causes most of the stoppages In laying
the tiles put them as closely at the
joints as possible, and cover the joints
with a piece of tin, or of oiled or tarred
roofing paper.
You need not fear that the water
will not find its way in, you can not
keep it out if you try; but you must try
to filter out the sand and mud which
may enter with a rapid stream of sur
face water washing down through a
muskrat's hole If the bottom is sandy
or soft mud, it is often necessary to lay
strips of boards under the tiles to pre-
vent them from settling and getting
out of grade, and also to wedge them
sidewise with stones to hold them in
line; for like chain, the usefulness of
drain is measured by its weakest
point, and we must avoid weak points
carefully. Whenever surface water
must be taken into the drains, and also
whenever long reach of nearly level
drains makes settling of mud and sand
likely to occur, the catch basin must be
introduced. This is simply man-hole
or sand pump-hole dug foot or more
lower than the drain, and walled in
with brick or with large tile set up
right; these catch-basins need examin-
ing frequently to see that they do not
fill UP with sand and clog the :ile.
