The Growing Uses of Bofax.
Sprinkle places infested by ants with
borax and you will soon be rid of them.
Blankets and furs put away well
sprinkled with borax and done up air
tight will never be troubled with moths.
A little borax put in the water be-
fore washing red or red-embroidered
tablecloths and napkins will prevent
their fading.
Ringworms will yield to borax treat
ment. Apply strong solution Of borax
three times day; also dust on the dry
powder very often.
Silver spoons and forks in daily use
may be kept bright by leaving them in
strong borax water for several hours.
The water should be boiling when they
are put in.
Put a teaspoonful of borax in your
rinsing water; it will whiten the clothes
and also remove the yellow cast on
garments that have been laid aside fob
two or three years. '
One Of the best things to cleanse the
scalp thoroughly is to dissolve one-half
teaspOonful Of bOrax in q quart of
water and apply it, rubbing it in well.
Rinse thoroughly in clear water.
For washing fine, nice fannels moth
ing will cause them to look 50 nice as
bOrax in the water, q teaspoonful of
borax to pail Of water being the right
proportion. Always wash baby's little
flannel skirts, shirts, ETC., in this.
Always wash baby's mouth and gums
every morning with water In which
you have put q pinch Of borax. It
keeps the mouth fresh and sweet, and
prevents that uncomfortable affection,
a sore mouth, with which so many
poor babies are troubled when their
mouths are not kept perfectly clean.
Borax water is excellent for spong-
ing either silk or wool goods that are
not soiled enough to need washing. In
washing cashmere or wool goods, put
little bOrax in the water. This will
cleanse them much more easily and bet
ter, without injury to the colors. Do
not rub them on board, but use the
hands, and throw on a line without
wringing. Press them on the wrong
side, and they will look almost like
new.-GOOd Housekeeping.

late, covering the entire season OF
Palmer and Gregg, and yielding about
as much as both together. The Gault
seems to be an exception to the SO
called ever-bearing varieties, which
are generally worthless, in that it is

The main crop begins to ripen with the

long season.

Improved Brace for Wire Fences.
One trouble with wire fences is the
liability of the wires to become loose
sagging down or losing their tension.
This is mainly caused by the posts tip
ping or leaning toward the point Of the
greatest strain and which is not fully
overcome by the common plan of plac.
Ing a brace against the top end Of the
post. the other end being imbedded IN
the ground. This lower end is subject
to the action of frost, decay, and the
liability of the stone or other substance
against which it rests to become dis
placed. BY the plan shown herewith

Good Trees to Start With.

One of the drawbacks to fruit grow
ing is the fact that farmers economic
at the beginning. They buy from tree
peddlers and do not find out that their
trees are of worthless varieties until
they begin to bear, but as several years
will then have been lost the mischief
cannot be repaired, and work must
be done over again. Do not buy trees
from any but known and reliable nur-
serymen, and do not refuse choice trees
because the prices are apparently high.
Be sure of good trees first and then be-
gin the economy afterward.

To Choose Meat.

Venison-Thec choice of venison should
be regulated by the appearance of the
rat, which, when the venison is young,
looks bright, thick, clear and close. It
first changes toward the launches. To
ascertain whether it is sweet run q
knife into that part; If tainted, it will
have a rank smell.
Beef-True, well-fed beef will exhibit
an open grain of deep coral red, and the
fat will appear Of a healthy, oily
! smOOthness, rather inclining to white
than yellow; the suet firm and white.
Yellow fat is test Of meat of an infe-
rior quality. Heifer beef is but little
inferior to OK beef; the lean is of clos
er grain, the red paler, and the fat
whittier.
Veal-Where you observe the kidney
surrounded with fat you may be sure
the meat is Of good quality. The whit.
est is not the best veal. There is a vein
in the shoulder very perceptible, and Its
color indicates the freshness Of the
meat; if a bright red or blue il is recently
killed; If any green or yellow spots are
visible it is stale.
Pork-In young pork the lean where
pinched will break; the thickness and
toughness of the rind SHOWS it to be old.
In fresh pork the flesh is firm, smooth,
a clear color, and the fat set. When
stale it is clammy and flabby. Meusly
pork may be detected by the kernels in
the fat, and should not be eaten.
Lamb should be eaten very fresh. In
the fOrequarter the vein in the neck
being any other color than blue betrays
it to be stale. In the hindquarter try
the kidney with your nose; the faint
, ness of the smell will prove it to be
stale.
Mutton-The best is Of fine grain,
a bright color, the fat firm and white.
1t is better for being full grown.

Weak nerves indicate as surely as
any physical symptom shows any
thing, that the organs and tissues Of
the body are not satisfied with their

These three words tell the whole
story of the wonderful cures by

Farmer Boys and Their Fathers.
All farmers boys cannot take a
course at the agricultural college, but II
the fathers Of these boys do their duty,
many Of them will be able to take
. scarcely less valuable course of study
ut home.
The wide diffusion Of agricultural
knowledge by means Of bulletins,
books, and the agricultural press, and
the influences Of Oranges, Alliances,
and similar organizations, has produc-
ed large number of intelligent farm
era. They know not only the art Of
farming but the science that under
Mes it Let them establish college at
home and train their own sons.
That the boys are not trained to fol-
low the calling of their fathers, and
made to feel deep interest in 1t, Is due
largely to thoughtlessness and care
lessness on the parts Of parents.
The boy is made acquainted only
with the rough side Of the business.
He is given duties to perform with no
explanation Of the why and the where
fore. He feeds the stock so muck of
this and Of that, but is not told Of the
mysteries of digestion. nor why it is
better to feed one ration rather than
another. He is left in the dark on the
subject Of the nutritive value Of foods,
and sees no reason for the care he is
required to exercise in feeding.
II it appears to the boys as a weari-
some, humdrum business, the father is
probably at fault. "All work and no
play makes jack a store clerk or a
lawyer instead Of a farmer.
1t would be an advantage to the son
and the father, too, for the son to have
m insight into the business side Of
farming. for him to know all about
the expenses and the income, the ne
cessity for certain expenditures and for
economy in other directions. He should
be taught how to buy and how to sell.
Many boy has to learn all this after
his father dies, and the responsibility
Is suddenly thrown on his shoulders

Notes.

The National Nurseryman suggests
that originators turn their attention
toward the improvement Of the black
berry and raspberry in the line of re-
ducing the size Of the seeds.
A heavy application Of ground-bone
will produce excellent results for sew
eral years, for the reason that the bone
gives off its particles slowly. and is not
dissolved for several seasons.
Hot beds for early plants may he
prepared, and the manure put in later.
Save fresh horse manure that is free
from litter, keeping it in a cool place.
so that it will not begin to heat until
wanted for use.
BY clearing out underbrush and re-
fuse. not only from the fences and
other places but where piles have accu-
mulated in the forest, there will be less
liability of forest fires. Green trees do
not take fire quickly. 1t is the dry ma
terial that causes the damage.
Where the best crops are produced
weeds never gain a fOothOld, and
never have a chance to grow. This law
is universal. Weeds do little injury to
good farms, and on the contrary good
farming exterminates weeds. This
fundamental truth should be taken
into consideration whenever the coun-
try becomes agitated over some new
weed.
Experiments conducted at the Ala
bama Experiment Station with Ragi
millet, Eleusine coracana, and Kodo
millet species Of Paspalium, both OBJ
tanned from the Madras Presidency,
seem to prove that these plants will
make good pasture crops for cows and
other stock, and also be profitable hay

more. I say to the robins and blue
birds, and the catbirds and finches,
draw up and help yourselves, and even
the crows know my whistle, and come
down to it. Every year the robins and
the catbirds build around our house,
and in the same old places. And you
should hear the catbirds sing. But You
will never hear them unless you take
care of them and make them feel at
home. The influence of this bird life
upon our farm has told upon every
