1t is important in making a garden
to have the soil thoroughly prepared
and the seed sown in good season.
In order to do this to the best ad-
vantage, good convenient tools are
necessary. If the garden is in the
proper shape good part of the pre-
paratory work can be done with the
pillow and harrow, but the finishing,
the seeding and cultivating m st be
largely done with tools that can be
worked by hand. One of the most
important of these is good seed

garden seed and that can be changed
to SOW different kinds of seed. and
as one row is sown and covered
marks out another. BY using good
drill the seed is distributed evenly
in the rows and is covered at uni
form depth, better than is possible
by hand. With care in seeding the
rows can be made straight and the
plants TO stand straight in the rows,
so that in using the cultivator it can
be run close to the plants, and in
this way reduce the work of giving
clean, thorough cultivation. The
saving of seed, time and labor, with
the more even stand it is possible to
secure, makes the seed drill q prof.

An Enemy of the Apple.

From an orchard in Crawford
county, Kansas, there has been sent
to Professor Popenoe, of the state
agricultural college, an insect which
he declares to be the oystershell bark
louise, which he says is very
dangerous pest to apple orchards
In order to aid the orchardists of the
state in warding off the ravages of
the pest he gives the following In
formation in regard TO it:
The oystershell bark louise of the
apple is known to entomologists as
mytllaspis pomorum, and belongs to
the same family as the terrible scale
lice that so seriously affect the olive,
orange and lemon in California and
Florida. Originally introduced from
Europe, it has spread throughout
Northeastern United States, and in
orchards where its increase has not
been prevented by extraordinary
care it becomes scourge to the
grower.
1t appears upon the specimes be-
fore me, taken within two weeks
from the tree, is closely set, abund-
ant reddish or grayish brown scales
irregularly arranged. often overlap
ping each other, encrusting the bark
and even hiding it in parts on the
trunk from view. These scales
measure about an eighth of an inch
in length. narrow anteriorly, and are
about four times as long as wide.
They lie mostly with the narrow
end upward, though many specI-
mems may be found lying in other
directions. Late in the winter the
insects are in the egg state, numer-
Gus eggs lying under the mother
scale, the insect itself being dead
and shriveled up completely. In the
spring these eggs hatch and the
young lice being very active, crawl
out aud find themselves place upon
the bark, when they settle and begin
to suck the sap.
AS they grow they begin the Sc
cretion OF the scale, which soon pro-
tects them from ordinary danger.
When we'll grown they can only be
destroyed by the most thorough eff
fort At the season OF the year when
the insects are yet unmatched, it is
likewise difficult to destroy them.
However, thorough scraping of the
layer infested branches and the
trunks and, afterward, the applica-
tion of kerosene wash in soapsuds
will assist to free the trees from
these pests. But the insects are at
one time at the mercy of the operator
This is at the time of Matching, iE
May, probably, or even earlier, when
they leave the parent scale and scat
ter themselves to new situations.
If at this critical time the tree is
properly sprayed with kerosene
emulsion, care being taken to reach
all parts with the liquid, there can
be little doubt that the work will
prove q success. Watch for the
Matching and work accordingly.
The female louise is never winged
and cannot 90 unaided from tree TO
tree. She may be carried on the
feet of birds. or when young and
crawling may be blown from one tree
to another or find a way along inter-
lacing brances. The great danger
of injection, however, comes through
the careless introduction of infested
trees from Eastern nurseries.

Nothing Lost by Being Polite.

would probably have been certain

animal low bow a.IG babe it Good

The jaguar was so overcome by this

turned round and walked slowly away.

this story be true, it may save life.

SWALLOWED HER TEETH.
A Remarkable Accident to a Young
Lady in Milwaukee,

Remarkable Accident to Young
Lady in Milwaukee.
Miss Helen Burns made startling
discovery Thursday. She had neglected
to take out her upper plate upoL retir-
ing the night before, and upon awaken
ing found that in some manner the
teeth had fallen into her tn; oat. She
was awakened by the pain caused by
4heir passage down her threat. After
they had been swallowed they caused
no more pain, and so FAR she las been
in no way Inconvenience by their
presence in her stomach. 1t was an
upper set on a rubber plate, and was
whole except for the loss Of three teeth
on ono side. The dentist was not in
clined TO believe that the young lady
could have swallowed so large a plate,
but she convinced him that she had.
IT was a temporary plate, which, nav
lng been worn too long, allowing the
gums to shrink away from it, had be-
come too large Being too large, a
piece had broken out of it, and it would
no longer hold itself ip place. Miss
Burns told the doctor THAI the plate
did not cause her any pain, but she was
frightened, naturally enough. The doc
tor assured her that there was no cause
for ALARM so long as she felt no pain.
Dr. Carmichael says that while peo-
D1e are sometimes chOked by their
false teeth getting iAt9 their threats,
the cases where the teeth have been
actually swallowed are very rare. 09ly
one such case ever occurred in this CITY,
10 the doctors knowledge, and then
the teeth lodged before they entered the
stomach, and the man died in great
pain. DR.. Carmichael thinks that hay
Ing safely accomplished the feat OF
swallowing the plate the young lady IS
in no danger, and will perhaps never
be troubled by the teeth. He does not
think that the plate can pass into the
anAeStines, and he is in doubt as to what
is likely to be it's fate. He says that
nothing CAP be done until the plate
makes its position known by pain.
Then relief may be afforded by an
operation or possibly in some other
manner. Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Accordingly, Barney, who was proud
in her way, refrained from trying to
see Mrs. Jack at that time, but drank
her tea and then trotted out again to
her teaching as usual. So Mrs. Jack
remained all day with no society save
that of POpsy, whom she took out for
a country walk in the opposite direc-
ton to that of Beech Grove.
POpsy was very severe upon her
mother, requiring her to manufacture
daisy chains of fabulous length and in
sisting that she should carry home

pebbles, grass, several peoples dragged
up by the roots, a crows feather and a
brace of lively cockchafers Then, too,
Popsy demanded information on
great variety Of subjects, and taxed her
mothers patience and ingenuity to the
uttermOst in devising answers to her
ceaseleSs questions, beginning "but

In a word, Mrs. Jack was nearly

again, and if she had not been thor

ly-roused little flames of Indignation,

were within reach, and could not help

But, Bell Lilly was quite free from
petty spite and incapable Of tyranny
in any shape. So she endured Popsy's
society until that young lady's bed
time; and, if she did breath a deep sigh
of relief and lean back thankfully in her
chair when POpsy and her handker-
chief full of treasures had been carried
off by Biddy, the child knew nothing Of
all that, but went away happy with her
mothers kisses on her face.
