His Critics!

''What it takes to make a paradise, u
some one has said, depends upon the
person who is going there" There was
once an artist who painted a picture OF
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
It was exhibited publicly. One day the
painter, entering the hall, Saw two men
who appeared to be farmers, standing
before the picture.
F'Now," said the artist to himself, Il
can hear an unprejudiced opinion of my
work.
He drew near and listened to what the
farmers were saying.
"Well, john" said one, what do you
think of it,
cts pretty good, said the other, 'sbut
there's one thing about it that strikes
me as little mite queer"
What's that?"
"Why, he's got Eve with Rhode ISL
and greening IN her hand"
"Well, what Of it?"
Hum! Seeing that the first Rhode
Island greening was raised in this cen
fury, don't quite see how they could
have had them in paradiser
mo greenings!" exclaimed the other,
contemptuously; chow do you suppose
they could have got along in the Garden
of Eden without Rhode Island green
ings?"-Youth's Companion.

SPRAY the Eruit Trees.

To save apples and pears from therav-
ages of the Goblin moth there seems but
one thing to be done, and that is to spray
paris green into the blossom before it
closes up and in such quantities that the
young worm will be sure to perish the
moment it is Matched and begins to eat.
When apples and pears are the size of
small pea or buckshOt and still stand
erect on the stem the calyx is vet we'll
open so that the poison can be sprayed
into it. Within week after that time
the blossom end has so closed up that
the work cannot be done with any sue
cess. The utmost diligence is therefore
necessary to do this work thoroughly
and just at the right time The paris
green does no good unless it enters the
blossom and remains there All thepo
son that is deposited on the surface of
the fruit is dissipated within a week or
two by the sun and wind Hence there
need be no fear whatever of using it
freely.
Many use too little of the poison for
best results. A teacupful (half pint
to forty gallons of water is not too much;
it will not injure the trees-that is, ap-
pie and pear, though it will kill peach
trees. If nard rain comes before the
calyx is closed so as to wash ont the pei
sou, the work should be Immediately
done over again. The only salvation for
our apples and pears is to spray thor
oughly with paris green within two
weeks after the tree is in full bloom

Thinning CropS. Etc.

Much labor will be saved by the timely
thinning of crops. The most useful tool
for this work is corn hoe reduced to
two inches in width by means of cold
chisel After going through with the
hoe return and single out the plants by
hand. Furrow out for early tomatoes
five feet apart; lay plant in the furrow
leaning against the side at intervals of
four feet and cover up with the pillow,
finishing neatly with the hoe. Do not
expect tomatoes, cabbage or any product
of the garden to be at the same time
large and early-it is against nature.
For this reason early paintings should be
closer than late. AS protection against
the fly, dust the seed beds of cabbage
with SCOT and partially shade with
branches of trees. Whether you have
weeds or not the hoe and cultivator
should be kept agoing as a preventive
against drought.
Plant early varieties Of sweet corn in
rows made by the marker, weighted if
necessary. This article is usually plant
ed too deep, causing it to rot; avoid deep
planting generally. Remember that
such things as parsnips and satisfy if not
thinned when young will have to be cut
out with knife later in the season, and
in that case the crops will not pay.
Rhubarb should not be cut the first year,
but if the ground is rich a full crop may
be expected the next, says Powell in his
GA B G of Agriculture.

,IuDiter's Double Moon.

The Lick telescope is the most power
full glass in the world. 1t is reported
the observers at Mount Hamilton have
kept a sharp eye turned upon the shadow
of one of the moons of the planet Jupi-
ter This shadow seemed double, indi-
eating that the tiny moon which cast it
is also double. Since the first hint of
the discovery many observations have
been made through the Lick glass, all
tending to confirm the original impress
sion, to wit: That this particular satel-
lite Of the greatest of planets is double
dot of moon revolving around the
main moon. -Exchange

BrO0dy Hens.

There is always difficulty in removing
a broody hen, and unless much care is
taken she Will leave the nest Accord
ing to The American Poultry Yard, she
ought to be moved in very low box OF
basket with plenty of soft straw to keep
her warm. Put false eggs into the bas-

cloth to keep the light out. If she in
tends to sit, she will when the basket is
uncovered carefully by night-no lamp
or lantern-show unmistakable signs
when you happen around next day IF
she does not mean business, she will
leave her eggs. If she shows DISPOSE
ton to sit close, leave her on the dumb
eggs (artificial ones if you have them)
for day or two, and then put good ones
under her, keeping her well covered with
a heavy cloth till she thoroughly takes

tie and slowly without putting too much
effort IN the process
This is a day when the pleasantest
thing possible Is to stand about and ex-
list. 1t would be much less troublesome
to lie down and exist. but unfortunately
that cant be done-at least not in the

still felt, though the temperature has

The man who imagines he has the grip
is still present, describing the 500 aches

One OF the strange features of this
weather Is the sudden change One can
not see to scrape yesterdays mud off his

The mud OF the streets seemed one of
the most permanent phenomena of nat
ure, and that the sprinkling cart should
be felt necessary so soon after the sky's
efforts seems incredible. -Indianapolis
