Watch Hand Remover.

Among the recent patents intended for
a limited section of the community is a
watch hand remover for watch making
work. Two metallic strips are compressed
and nip the watch hand, while pin is
pressed down on the centerpost of the
watch and a slight relaxation of the hand
lifts the watch hand off the post This
device prevents all danger of cracking the
dials, breaking the centerpost and losing
the watch hands, and however tight the
hands are fastened they are readily re-
moyed--New York Telegram.

The old statement that any food which
a cow can digest and asslmilate will not
effect the flavor of the butter made from
her cream, eeems to De still on its rounds.
1t is true that the chemist has great
deal Of trouble on accounting for it, but
the fact remains that certain kinds Of
food do modify the flavor Of the butter.
1t not infrequently happens that COWS
eat rank or bitter weeds, either in the
past1re or in the hay, and that very
perceptible and unplaasnnt changs -
quickly apparent in the quality Of the
butter. why the cows should eat these
weeds we cannot say, but tho fact that
they sometimes do cat them has been
often noted. Then, too, the influence
of cottonseed meal, linseed meal and
sour ensilage, upon the quality OF the
butter yielded by cows which these sub
stances are fed, has been so often noticed
and so widely discussed, that it should
have set at rest all questions as to the
power Of the food to modify the quality
Of the butter. If, in spite Of all the evil
dence from these sources, anyone still
has doubts upon the subject, let him
kaed his COWS a few turnips or onions
every day for a week, and when he comes
to test the next lot Of butter from his
cows his belief viii forever disappear

DESTROYING copLrNa NON

In that large part of this country
where no apples were grown last year
no codling moth worms were bred, be-
cause there was nothing for them to
breed in. But even here the enemy may
have been introduced in apples brought
from other localities, where, of course,
the species was continued. Those who
put apples in cellars will always find as
spring approaches multitudcs of moths
struggling against the windows and try
ing to get out. They are particularly
numerous just about the time apple trees
begin to blossom, and if any escape, then
they will make work for future years.
It is good plan to keep cellar windows
closed at this season, and BY going in
side many moths may be crushed against
the panes of glass. Worms that have
not yet changed to moths can be found
in cocoons glued against the inside of
barrels in which apples have been kept.
