in an unnatural position it is i'll more or

ance COW can turn her head and freely
lick her back as far as her hips Every

ing to fancy, but this device is adapted to
all styles of managers. The lever can be
attached to any plank stanchion. If the

plank or base to which the manger and
standard are fastened can be very much

cut are fourteen inches high or wide.
The bottom OF the manger consists Of

together that feed can be given without

Haunted Hotel Rooms.

'Yes, o man who commits suicide in
hotel causes vast deal of trouble, !"
said an old hotel clerk. eff the num-
Der of the room in which the deed was
committed gets out We always have to
renumber the room before we can get
anybody to occupy it. l recall an in
cident of Il few years ago that is inter-
estins. A well known Richmond mar
had committed suicide in one of the
indianapolis hotels About the time
the corpse was removed some of the
electric wires in the building got crossed.
''That afternoon travelling man was
occupying room several doors from
the one in which the suicide had 90
CURED. Every time he would call for &
boy the register on the clerks desk
would point to the number of the room
in which the suicide had occurred and
from Which the corpse had been re-
moved only few hours before. A bell
boy answered the first call and came
back '-hite as sheet, with the an
snt that no one was in the
.son Ting-a-ling-a -ling' went the
call bell again, and once more the regis
ter pointed to the room in which the
suicide had occurred. A second bell boy
was sent to the room, and he came
back as badly scared as the first, with
the statement that no one was in the
room.
1t is the dead mans ghost, said a
guest who had become interested in the
proceedings
"Again the bell rang, and for the
third time the register pointed to the
suicides room. | ordered third bell
boy to go up and make sure that there
was no one in the room. Not much;
he wouldn't go. Said wasn't going
to steer him in among spoolls. l screwed
up my own courage and started -
stairs to make an investigation myself.
My breath was beginning to come short
when l met the travelling man on his
way downstairs, tuning because his
calls had not been answered. 1t &C.
CURED to me in moment that the
wires had become crossed. "-Indianap-

Value of Muck ON the Farm.

The term muck is usually applied to
accumulations of vegetable matter un-
der water, where it is partially excluded
from the air. Some of these are quite
rich in ammonia. Their contents OF
mineral matter is dependent upon the
kinds of plants from which they came.
Muck in the ponds and swamps of the
poor piney woods regions is usually
poor in quality. Vegetable mold accu-
INFLATED; in oak forests is richer and bet
ter than the last mentioned mucks. 1t
is quite valuable, especially for mixing
with concentrated commercial fertilizers.
Mold is not & concentrated manure, and
large quantities must be applied to pro-
duce decided results. 1t must be well
rotted also TO act promptly. 1t is better
to mix it with some fertilizer than ap-
ply it alone.--Southern Farmer.

CORK TREES IN CALIFORNIA.
It Is Believed That They Can Be Crow
There In Large Numbers.

It Is Believed That They Can Be Grown
There In Large Numb ers.
The available forests of cork trees
are already relatively ext ensive, al
though hardly sufficient to supply the
demands now made on them, or which
as the world grows in prosperity must
be made on them, for there is hardly
any end to the uses for cork, and none
of the substitutes for it which have yet
been tried are very satisfactory or
promise to take its place to any great
extent. The latest estimates of exist
ing areas of available cork oak forests
make their extent from 3,300,00 to
$500, 900 acres, of Which about one
half, including those on its African
possessions, belongs to France. The
wood of the cork oak is heavy, coarse
grained and of a yellow brown color;
it shrinks and warps badly in seasoning
ard decays rapidly when exposed to the
action of the atmosphere. 1t has little
value in the arts, but furnishes q useful
fuel and makes good charcoal. The
inner bark is rich in tannin, and trees
too old or unfit to produce cork are cut
for the sake of the inner bark.
The cork oak is an interesting tree
to Americans, rs its cultivation now
seems destined to become an important
industry in California, where the eli
mate and the soil in many parts of the
state ere admirably suited to produce
it, This is not mere theory, as trees
have been growing now for several
years in California. and have already
produced crops OF cork of excellent
qualify 1t is probable that the tree
viii grow rather more rapidly in Cali
folnia than it does in its native coun-
Try, although the quality of the soil.
the exposure in which the trees are
placed. local climate and the treatment
which the trees receive will influence,
of course, the rapidity with Which the
bark is developed.
In Africa it is found that the trees
which grow the most rapidly produce
bark Of the poorest quality, and that
within certain, limits the slower the
trees grow the more valuable-tle prod
uct, provided tho growth is not too
slow, in which case the bark loses some
OF the elasticity which makes it valu-
able. The conditions which influence
the development of cork are SO numer-
Gus and complicated that the product
Of all the trees in grove or forest can
never attain the same uniformity of
thickness or quality in any given time.
This is so we'll understood in the coun
tries where cork is grown that the best
method of harvesting has been found
TO be 10 so over the forest every two or
three years and remove the bark from
such trees rs are covered with mer
charitable cork and not TO strip all the
trees at the same time.
III these matters must of course be
considered in connection with planting
forests of cork oak in California The
planting and care of such forests in
Portugal and Spain have long been on
important industry, and there is no
reason why they may not be made so
in California where the local consump-
ton of cork is already enormous, al
though the wine industry there is hard
" more than in its infancy.-Garden

Paper Air Cushions.

The japanese employ paper instead
of india rubber for making air cushions.
Paper cushions roll up smaller than
india rubber ones, they do not stick to-
gether after being wetted, and having
no odor they are more agreeable for
pillows than rubber ones. Their strength
is marvellous, considering the apparent
fraity Of the material; man weighing
100 pounds may stand on one without
bursting it.-Chatter.

EXPERIENCES AND OBSERVATIONS OF
VALUE TO WIDE AWAKE FARMERS.

A New Tie For Mich Cows Which, is Not
Patented, But Highly Recommended
by tho Ynventor-plain Directions For
Using 1t.
The picture of the unpatented tie for
cattle hardly requires any description.
A is a standard plank foot wide and Q
inches thick; B is lever inch thick,
tapering in width, being sl inches at the
wide end and inch at ''tie" end; G is
the slat bolted to the standard, with
pieces inserted between the slat and
standard, so as to leave space in which
the lever is held in place while allowed
towork up and down freely; D is bolt
fastening the lever to the standard; L is
peg ON which the ring on one end of
TIE chain is hung When the COW is let
loose the ring should he hung on the
peg. When she is to be tied she puts her
head and neck over the lever and the
chain is handy to go around her neck
The chain from each lever is always to
be hung on the next standard. The lever
has the motion of the cows neck-when
she is up the lever is up; when she is
down the lever is down.
There is no stationary stanchion which
does not inflict cruelty on the cattle
fastened III it. No COW can lie down in
natural way with her head or neck be-

Keeping Out norers fr,>. Fruit Trees.


''What is the best method for keeping
out borers from apple, plum and ounce
trees:' was query propounded at the
last annual meeting of the Western New
York Horticultural society. Mr.. 1. t.
Chase recommended solution of soft
soap, applied with an old broom or brush,
from the limbs to the ground, two or
three times during the summer. Mr..
Brown suggested a mixture of whale oil
soap and carbolic acid, in quantity Of
one pound of soap to an ounce of acid,
dissolved in four or five gallons of water.
Clean out the borer first, and then apply
the liquid around the collar with white
wash brush twice during the season. He
used it in June Mr.. VaIpey said white
wash and carbolic acid did a good job
for him.

The Squash Vine Borer.

Clarence NJ Weed, of the Ohio expert
ment station, suggests for the squash
vine borer Il 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 it tho main root is injured the
plants can grow from the other roots.
This plan is perfectly feasible if the
weather. is not TOO dry.
