FARM AND GARDEN MOTIFS.


Keep the wagon well creased.
Neglect is the worst weed on a farm.
Prepare ground we'll for winter wheat.
Manure on land is concentrated activi-
ty.
Always have a hitching post at your
door.
Long evenings coming; read and
study.
If YOU work early and late, rest at
midday.
Buy nothing you can produce as
cheaply.
Put the manure where it will do the
most good.
Always plan to save labor and thereby
reduce cost.
The market is seldom overstocked
with the best.
Have you done all you a for your
fowls comfort.
The best time to do a thing is before
it is actually needed.
Do everything in the simplest and
most sensible manne
Better pay a good price for seed than
use poor if given you.
Getting money out of dirt is dirty
business, but it is honest.
Have you made your plans pr next
year2 It is time you had. U
During the rainy days repair the tools,
oil the harness and fix up the cow stable.
Remember that one of the most impor-
tant cares of the farm is the care OF
health.
Add the uncounted comforts to the
money income before you say the farm
does not pay.
When threshing take good care of the
straw. Bright, clean straw is better for
bedding as well as for feeding.
If you have nothing better, lay in a
good supply of dry earth to use as an alb
sorbent in your stables when needed.
Many diseases of the horses feet are
due to wearing shoes too long a time.
Knock off the shoes during vacation.
Apply lime whitewash in your stables,
your hen-house, your pig-pen and every.
where that insects can lay their nits.
When you dig your potatoes dry
them before storing, but do not expose
them to the sun, if you al avoid it.
This is a good time to open up the
bitches or to put in tile from that sink
hole that makes ugly joys in all your
work.
It is a bad plan to clean out the poul.
try houses and throw the refuse just out.
side the door. Barrel at once and put
under cover.
Clear away the masses of foul stuff
around the trunks of your fruit trees.
Th3 are harbors for vermin and in
furious insects.
Eggs are the most marketable product
that the farm yields. They are ready
for the market the minute they are laid,
and the sooner they are gotten to market
the better.
A solitary yellow-dock, burdock or
mustard plant is best preserved by being
carefully cut off close to the ground,
gently carried to the house and con-
signed to the kitchen stove just before
the water boils in the tea-kettle.
Commencing to breed high class
fowls, solely with the object of making
money from them, is the rock on which
many an enthusiastic beginner has split.
Profit must always be a secondary con.
sideration at the outset. It means hard
work and plenty of it for a year or more;
the profits come Later if pu only stick.
Az item in making tie most of the
corr crop is to begin feeding the fatten-
ing stock early. Under average condi-
tons the moderately cool weather in the
fall is the best time to fatten stock, and
with good, thrifty stock a much better
gain can then be made in proportion to
the quantity of food supplied than at
any other time.

To Prevent Droughts.

DIR. Felix L. Oswald asserts in the
Voice, that the substitution of perennial
for annual food plants would have the
incidental advantage Of preventing the
ruin of crops by summer droughts.
Forest trees, especially such leaf trees as
oaks and elms, undoubtedly help to
equalize the humidity of the atmosphere,
i. e., to prevent droughts as well as
winter foods. Large plantations OF
fruit trees would have a similar effect,
while cereals or extensive vineyards seem
to have no more influence ON the annual
rainfall than the dusty sage-shrubs oil. oul
western prairies. $500

AN INGENIOUS DEVICE.

A Wonderful Machine Intended to Detect
New Comets
A western astronomer had invented
device for capturing comets without the
trouble of sitting up all night to hunt
for them. He is going to discover them
by an ingenious combination of ma
chinery and chemistry. His telescope
is to be set going in such a way as to
sweep a large section Of the heavens
automatically, and when it comes face
to face with a comet, no matter how
faint, the machine will sound an cleo
trio bell in his slecping-room.
This wonder, says the Toledo Blade,
is to be performed by the aid of the re-
Gently discovered element, selenium.
The light from an object in the field Of
view is made to fall upon prism, back
of which is metal diaphragm with
Sits corresponding to the positions Of
the three hydrocarbon bands that char
acterize the spectra of comets and OF
them only. Hence the light from any
other object is intercepted by the bars,
but that from comet passes between
them and then falls upon a selenium
cell that connects with battery and
alarm The affair is simple enough
when one understands it.
