FARM AND ORCHARD.

THERE is close relation between in
sect depredators and the health Of
trees. As rule insects are scavengers.
They are related to disease. Half the
battle with insects is to help the tree
to battle for itself.

HEMLocK sawdust fresh from green
wood is worthless as fertilizer in
small or moderate quantities and hurt
full in small degree when in heavy
masses After it has rotted its quality
is slightly improved, and is about equal
to rotten wood. But if made entirely
dry, it may be used to advantage as an
absorbent in stables, and the value
then will depend on the quantity OF
liquid manure which it has absorb bed.
LOGS that have been stripped of the
bark have been used for building
poultry houses for centuries, and they
are equal to houses made Of any other
material, and fully as cheap, if logs
are plentiful; but such houses should
be well covered with shingles and
sound clapboards nailed over the
cracks on the outside, the inside being
carefully and completely daubed with
clay. If the work is properly done,
such house will be dry, warm and
comfortable.

ought to be smaller
the great, gripping, old-fashioned
pill. There's too much unpleasant
ness for the money. Ought to be
better, too. They're big enough,
and make trouble enough, to do
more good.
That's just what DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets do, more good.
Instead of weakening the system,
they renovate it; instead of up
setting, they cleanse and regulate
it mildly, gently, and naturally.
They're the original Little Liver Pills
the smallest but most effective,
purely vegetable, perfectly harmless,
and easiest to take. Only one
little Pellet for a gentle laxative -
three for a cathartic. Sick Head
ache, Bilious Headache, Constipa-
ton, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
and all arrangements of the Liver,
Stomach and Bowels are promptly
relieved and permanently cured.
They're the cheapest pills you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re.
turned. You pay only for the good
you get. It's plan peculiar to DR.
Pierce's medicines.

Straw Is of Little Value.

Many argue that in most cases COM
mercial fertilizers act simply as slim
illus. What is taken from the soil in
plant food must be returned. Am
monia, scraps, meat, blood, potash,
phosphate of lime-all these have been
robbed from old mother earth. 1 sell
my straw at five dollars per ton, and
put that into patent fertilizers. l can
not afford to feed straw and consider
it Of little value as fertilizer. l will
admit that certain conditions of soil re-
quire different treatment take but

The evil repute of Halifax implied In
this adage came to it by inheritance
from Halifax in Yorkshire, England
Halifax law, as may be gathered from
a letter of Lord Leicester quoted by
Motley in his History of the United
States" was that criminals should be
condemned first and inquired upon
afterward," law which in that one
particular, at least, resembled "Jedburg
Justice"
Halifax lay within the forest of Hard
wick, where the law was that If felon
was taken with thirteen and half
pence worth of stolen goods he should
be tried by four firth burghers from
four of the precinct towns, and If con-
demned by them be hanged the next
day. After this proceeding had been
carried out to the letter the case might
be sent to jury! Halifax is also cred
tied with being the home of the guillo-
tine, which the regent Earl Morton,
introduced into Scotland only to have
bis owp head chopped of with it

serve to keep the boards apart. Along
underneath the center of the joists
narrow strip is fastened, to which
boards three feet long and half an inch
thick are nailed. These serve to keep
the middle part of the soil from getting
too warm, and also help to keep the
sides at an equal temperature, and
serve admirably as heat equalizers.
At the end, over the furnace, small
shed was built, which contained the

of common brick lined with fire. brick,

The effect of spraying apple trees
with London purple to prevent raw

is well illustrated by the experience of
Mr.. Lupton, of Virginia The spray
ing was discontinued when less than
oue-third of the trees had been sprayed.
From these trees 1000 barrels of APP
plies nearly free from worms were
gathered, while from the remaining
two thirds of the orchard SsS barrels of
sound fruit were obtained. quite one
fifth of the apples from the unsprayed
trees being wormy and unfit for use.

THE ANCIENT GREEKS.
Their Esthotic Tastes and Love of the
Beautiful.

Their Esthotic Tastes and Love of the
Beautiful.
In Greece, during the heroic ages,
men wore their hair and boards long,
which so disguised the clearly and
clean-faced Egyptians that, if we are to
credit Herodotus, no one of either sex
of the latter nationality would on any
account kiss the lips of Greek, make
use of his knife, his spit and caldron,
or taste the meat of an animal which
had been slaughtered by his hand 1t
must not be inferred from this that the
Greeks, in the early days of their being,
were altogether barbarians, but they
were certainly not so civilized-not SO
well acquainted with the arts of peace
and war-as the Egyptians until long
after they had made their mark in his
tory.
The love of the beautiful was there.
no doubt, but it had not yet manifested
itself and raised the social character of
the people. 1t required the softening
and humanizing influence and inter-
course with more liberal races, such as
Egyptians and Phenicians, to one or
the other of whom they were indie bted
for much that they possessed. 1t
would seem that, in the matter of per-
sonal adornment, they derived the be-
ginnings from the Egyptians and that
they improved upon these beginnings
as their own sense of the fitness of
things developed into passion for the
beautiful. Their arrangement of the
hair they and their women carried
eventually to the highest point of ar
tistic excellence. Gentleman's Maya.
