however, advised to try the remedy of

no disease or disease germs dwell upon

day. Many months ago the writer was
weak enough to give him a small sum Of
money, and ever since has been pestered
by the same old tale of hunger and the
necessary want of three cents to make
up the five. In happy moment he
thought of good plan to rid himself Of
the nuisance, and one Monday solid
sandwich was bought for five cents and
carefully stored away. By Sunday the
bread was beautifully hard and the meat
not too fresh. It was carefully wrapped
up in paper. At Park place the boy was
on hand with the usual pitiful tale.
II thought of you this morning." said
the reporter, and handed him the paper
packet; "here's sandwich for you
1t was not what tho beggar wanted,
SO he only gave vent to a surly thanks. .
About an hour later the reporter had to
go down Park place again, and he saw

street, and the look ON his face was as
malignant as it could possibly be.-New

Fertilizers for Corn.

Following is brief summary of re-
suits of experiments to determine the
effects of the leading elements Of plant
food used in various combinations on
the production of corn at the Kentucky
station: In those plots where potash was
one of the ingredients of the fertilizer
used there was marked increased yield
both in corn and fodder. Where fer
tilizer was used without potash there
was scarcely any increase in corn, but a
considerable increase in fodder. The
greatest increased yield was made where
both nitrogen and potash Were applied.
Muriate of potash, when applied alone,
made marked increased yield over the
plots containing no fertilizer. The same
results were obtained last year in SINH
lar experiment

nIr. pepeu,s "onIx" nox,

DR.. Chauncey N. Depew told little
story the other day about young man
who started an "only'' box, into which he
and his wife put all the small pieces Of
money they would otherwise have spent for
things that were ''only dime" or ''only
Il quarter" or "only a half dollar" And
the result was that in year, more or
less, they had 81, 900 to invest.
1t was very pretty little story, and very
likely it has caused the starting of a dozen
or so only" boxes.
But there is another side to the question,
a side which deserves more championing
than it has ever had. Did that young
couples thousand dollars repay them for
ali they lost by saving it? 1t is very
grave question whether that habit of small
and scraping economy which the "only'
box is expected to foster is good thing to
have. Would the whole Thousand dollars
repay them for what they lost when, some
warm evening, John was on tho point Of
spending ''only ten cents" for little
bunch of carnations or q single fragrant
pink rose to take to Mary, and then re-
membered the "only' box and didn't do it?
And when Mary didn't buy the twenty-five
cent toy for the little toddler ut home, be-
cause of that ever present box, did she do
well?
And did it really pay them to deny them
selves all these little innocent enioyments,
and surrender themselves to the misery

Millions in Teeth.

Some French crank, with a taste for sta
tistics that are of no value to any one, has
figured it out that the dentists of America
annually insert in the teeth of their Gus
toners about 1,so0 pounds of gold, which
represents a cost of $4,000. This gold is
never recovered, of course, but is buried
with the person in whose mouth it is
placed. The statistician then goes on to
say that allowing for the rapid increase in
the population Of the United States, and
the still more rapid deteriqration of Ameri-
can teeth, within 100 yeszs the ceme-
teries of this country viii contain moro
gold than is now in circulation in France

reached mining companies for the work,

One Swindla Explained

A drummer who travels for Boston
grocery concern says that he sees in Maine
some Of the sharpest tricks that are prac-
ticed anywhere on his route. He gives the
following specimen:
a farmers wife bustled into store in
Washington county the other day and went
for the proprietor with:
''Mr. b, / bought six pounds Of sugar
here last week, and when got il homo |

Pluto's Safety Valve.

Two and half miles south of the little
Mexican village of Las Hummettas, in
western Arizona, in low. sandy valley,
flanked by tall mountains, there is hole
about three feet in diameter and of I'M
known depth, from which dense cloud of
smoke and steam is constantly arising.
For 100 feet on each side of the hole the
ground is moist and heated. Water col
lected in the holes which have been dug in
this moist ground has a tendency to
make one very wakeful, besides giving the
face, hands and feet a paralytic numbness.
Every evening at o'clock large volumes
IF sand are shot from the hole, preceded by
roar that can be heard for miles.-St.

When to Cut Clover for Hay.

The usual rule is to cut clover for hay
when the majority of the heads are be-
ginning to pass out of blossom. Some
farmers, especially in dry localities, cut
clover in full blossom. Experience and
judgment are required to properly cure
clover. The less sap the less curing is
required; the dryer the climate the less
curing. T. B. Terry, one OF Ohio's pro-
gressive farmers, always aims to have
the hay hot when it is drawn in. He
emphasizes the Importance of drawing
in clover hay during the hottest part Of
the day and before it has collected any
dew.

THE THRUSH.
Where Wonder nymph with music takes

Where yonder nymph with music takes
Across the fields her silver way
With mirthful melody she wakes
The browsing minstrel of the day.
There from his ripple haunted dream
The meadows blithest chorister,
Enraptured by the singing stream,
Clears his brown throat and sings with her
The amber air with music fills;
Like seeds, the notes sown in the hush
Blossom in song between the hills
Whence echo answers to the thrush.
Dear bird, whose liquid carols come
To me across the valleys span,
dream you are descended from
That older minstrel shaggy Pan.
Fer as the nyrlphs with dance and song
In olden days his piping graced,
This sylvan maiden steals along
Beside you in melodious haste.

The Squash Vine Eorer.

Clarence II. Weed, of the Ohio expert
ment station, suggests for the squash
vine borer a simple and by no means
new safeguard. This is to induce the
vines to take root at various places by
covering some of the joints with earth.
SO that if the main root is injured the
plants can grow from the other roots.
This plan is perfectly feasible if the
weather is not too dry.

Growing Corn for Fodder and sila1e.

AS summary of what has been
learned in growing corn for fodder and
silage the directors Of the agricultural
experiment station of Cornell university,
New York, advise the selection of the
largest varieties that will fully mature
before frost in the locality where grown.
Special attention is called to the fact
that heretofore it has been common
practice to SOW or plant corn for fodder
and ensilaging entirely too thick. Starch
and sugar are not fully developed with
out an abundance of sunlight, and i'm
mature plants are likely to contain a
very large per cent of water.
So far all the experiments go to show
that effort should be made to raise the
largest yield Of grain irrespective Of
stalks, no matter what purpose it is in
tended for, but it will be found as a rule
the larger the yield of grain the larger
will be the yield of slower, and the less
percentage of nitrogen in the ripper prod
uct is compensated for in its increased
nutritive value. Furthermore, the fact
should not be lost sight of that wood
and water alone are not good foods for
animals, besides being expensive prod
uctS to handle.
