oil thoroughly before the season for hard
work begins.
Another item, not only In saving tbs
harness, but the horses as well, is te
have the harness properly fitted 20 far ae
is possible; every work horse on tho
farm should have collar and set of har-
ness properly fitted to him. A collar that
fits one horse, especially after he has
worked in it awhile, will rarely, If over,
fit another as snugly and comfortably as
1t ought. The harness should fit snugly
into the collar, but not SO tightly as to
press 1t out of shape. Ill-fitting collars
and harness cause gals and sores, and
in nearly all cases these are easier pre-
vented than cured. The collars should
always be kept clean, as dirty collars
and dirty shoulders often cause sores.
In purchasing new collar it is best to
have it fit snug and tight, and In short
time it will adapt itself to the shape of
the shoulders in pulling. Be sure that
the brides and lines are good, as weak
place in these often causes considerable
loss through runaway.
1t is alway goods economy to buy good
harness, as cheap harness almost always
proves dear in the end. But In order to
get the most out of good harness 1t must
be properly taken care of.-St. Louis Re-
public.

Pork a Tit.bit for Alligators.

There is large trade in alligators'
teeth in the South, for they are treas
ured as mementoes by tourists. In jack
sonville, Fla, one may have them
mounted with aluminium, gold or silver
as vinaigrettes, and they are sometimes
prettily marked and tinted. A good
many boars' teeth are sold for those of
alligators, but the difference between
them is decided, those of the boar curv-
ing into quarter circle, while those of
the alligator are rounder and nearly
straight. Apropos of both animals, there
is nothing that gator likes better than
fresh pork and he will toddlc three miles
from water for Florida razorback. In
cool weather he buries himself in mud
and becomes dormant until it grows
warm. Hunters still make living by
killing him for his hide and teeth. The
killing of alligators from the decks of
river steamers in Florida has been stopped
by law.-Chicago Herald.

Is 1t Goal Oill"

The s'average man" (and you will find
him everywhere in the proportion Of
about ninety nine to one) speaks of Pc
troleum-refincd--a s'coal OIL" This
is done primarily because of the general
impression that the oil comes from coal,
aud that coal is of vegetable origin.
Geolog,sts and scientists in general, how
ever, take different view of the matter.
To them the oil is relic of past geo.
logical ages, as we'll as of animals that
lived when the earth was young. In re-
ferring to the genesis of "coal oil" they
never think of 1t except as an animal oil.
They argue that the great upheavals and
downfalls of the earth's crust, which re.
suited in burying billions of tons of
vegetable matter, which subsequently
turned to coal, also covered millions Of
gigantic animals with hundreds and
thousands of feet of sediment. This
sedimentary deposit, in the ages which
have elapsed since old nature was racked
with those rockrending convulsions
which geologists are so fond of telling us
about, have turned into great strata of
sandstone, limestone, etc., the oil COM
pressed from the great aggregation of
animal remains settling In basins, to be
tapped by the ingenious well-sinkers of
the last half of the Nineteenth Century.
Thus even past ages are made to contrl-
butte to the welfare and comfort of pres
ent generations.-St.s Louis Republic.

THE FARM HARNESS.

The proper care of the harness is an
important item in farm management. If
kept clean and we'll oiled and hung up in
convenient, tight closet when not in
use 1T will last as long again as when
hung up behind the horses in the stables
and allowed to accumulate dirt and filth
and go without oiling. Harness that is
in use the greater part Of the time should
be thoroughly oiled at least every three
months, and in many cases, especially
during tho winter, it will be better to
oil it every two months. In oiling il
should be taken apart and every part
wiped clean with a wet rag. II it is
dirty water and soap should be used to
clean it thoroughly. Apply the oil with
cloth, taking pains to rub in carefully.
Harness oil can generally be bought at
the stores or harness shops, but heats
foot oil and lampblack make good
harness oil. In many cases it will be
best to go over the harness twice, es-
pecially when, rs is often the case on the
farm, it is long time between oiliugs.
The objection to hanging tho harness
behind the horses is that the ammonia
arising from the manure Injuries tue
leather very much. The advantage in
hanging it in the horse stables is con-
venience, but it is questionable economy.
While there is leisure it is good time
to overhaul the baruess and repair aud

RrpDrse THE GARDEN OF sIuos.

A subscriber tells us how to trap
slugs. Batting slugs with bran is as good
a good II way of catching them as any
know of. Take some pieces of slate, or
some fiat stones, and lay them here and
there about the garden where the slugs
do the most mischief. About sundown
90 around and put teaspoonful of bran
on each piece of slate or stone. The
slugs will soon find out it there and col
lect to feed on it. About an hour after
dark take lantern and pail filled with
salt water, and go over the garden,
picking up each piece of slate or stone on
which slugs have gathered, and drop
them into the brine, where they will; in
stautly die. 1t is well to go around again
in the morning, as many slugs will be
found hiding under the slate and stones.
By following up this method persistently
for few weeks, the garden may be
effectually rid of this uisance.-Success

ORNAMENT THE ROADSIDE.

The general appearance OF the road
side can be much improved by clearing
up the brush and loose fencing materials
and by not using the roadside as a
dumping ground for rubbish. Plant a
few shade trees upon one side only, es-
pecially if the road runs north and south,
os large trees on both sides shade the
road so densely that it dries out very
slowly after each rain. A few apple, or
other standard fruit trees, with proper
care, can be made to flourish and be as
valuable along the roadside as in the cul-
tivated fields. Weeds and bushes should
be cut down each year, and it takes but
little time to make the roadsides so
smooth that the grass along them can be
cut with machine. They look so much
ueater when thus trimmed, and the hay
alone will compensate for all trouble in
volved in this road improvement

REMEDY For PLANT LICE.

The old method of fumigating with
tobacco. so long considered the most
efficient method of destroying plant lice
or aphis is almost, if not altogether,
abandoned by professional florists, writes
A. Charles in the American Agricul-
turist. To accomplish the desired re-
sults tobacco dust was also used. This,
when busted over the foliage of the
young plants, by means of a bellows. de-
stroyed the lice quite effectively, aud
with much less trouble. But its use
gave the plants an untidy appearance, so
that better methods were sought and
soon found. Now, the favored remedy
Is to scatter tobacco stems among the
plants. If bedded out, the surface be-
tween the plants is entirely covered
with stems. Tobacco stems are also
placed on the water or steam pipes. For
house plants, the stems should be cut
short and scattered over the soil in the
pots, which not only kills the lice that
infest the tops, but the root aphis as
we'll. These underground enemies are
more injurious than those presented to
view, and often kill the plant without
our knowing the real cause of its death.
The water applied will carry sufficient
strength of the tobacco to the roots to
free them from insect enemies. At the
same time tobacco stems arc one of the
best fertilizers that can be used. They
contain more plant food than can be
found in the same given amount of any
other vegetable substance, and no danger
can arise from too liberal use of them.

Hereditary Foes.

The memory of the Pima, nor do his
traditions, run so far back that mortal
enmity with the Apaches did not exist.
The first thing the Pima child is taught
is to hate the Apache, the vandsl Of the
great American desert, and he seldom
forgets his teaching. Though it is not
SO bad now that the Apaches have sur
rendered to the United States Govern
ment, still the hatred exists, and whom
the opportunity is presented the Pima
heaps all kinds Of contumely upon the
heads of the Apaches.
As is known the Pimas seldom leave
their valley homes, and as the Apaches
are now on the reservation under the
surveillance of troops, it is rarely that
they meet, though last winter company
of the Apache soldiers were brought
through the city under a United States
officer. Before they had been here an
hour their old enemies, the Pimas and
Maricopas, all knew of it, and by the
middle of the afternoon fully 1000 were
in town to see them. The Apache senti-
mel had been taught enough military
discipline to know that he must not re-
sent the insults heaped upon him by the
Indian ohlookers, but it must have been
a hard trial to his wild nature.
Years ago the Apaches and the Pimas
often settled their differences by single
combat or pitched battles, and there is
now one Pima living who killed six
Apaches in one day in single combat
near where the Sacaton Agency is To-
Gated. The Pima used his lronwood club,
about two feet in length, and the
Apaches their spears and war clubs. 1t
is wonderful how skillful these Pimas
are In the use of their clubs, fencing
with them equal to the exhibition OF a
French master of the foils.-Ph@nlx
