FIGHTING THE ARMY WORM.

When the army worms leave the
low meadows upon which they usually
feed, it means destruction to the farm
ers' crops which lie in the track of the
migrating host. Professor Charles B.
Lounsbury, of Massachusetts,, recon-.
mends plowing deep furrow across
this track, with the steep side next the
crops. Make large number of holes
in the bottom of the furrow. into
which the caterpillars will fall and
where they can be easily crushed. The
grass ahead of the army may be
sprayed with paris green, or in cram
berry bog the bitches may be filed
with water. A heavy roller may be
run over the ground occupied by the
army. A barrier OF planks or fence
rails may be made and smeared thickly
with coal tar, crude petroleum or even
with kerosene. There should be no
openings between or below the planks
or rails, which are laid down end to
end.-Americap Agriculturist.

Apples Grow on q Pear Tree.

A pear tree loaded with apples is a
freak of nature that can be witnessed
on the old Dunklinson farm, two miles
north of Sailor Springs, III. The farm
is occupied by Captain George Elliott,
who discovered the tree loaded with
green apples few days ago. The tree
has born pears of fine quality for
eight years in succession. People are
coming from the surrounding country
and towns to view the phenomenon.

The foregoing is but one of many wonder
full cures that have been credited to DIR. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Diseases
which heretofore have been supposed to be
incurable such as locomotor ataxia and pa
ralysis Succumb to this wonderful medicine
as readily as the most trifling ailments. In
most cases the reported cures have been
investigated by the leading newspapers and
verified in every possible manner. Their
fame has spread to the far ends of civiliza-
tion and there Is hardly drug store In this
country or abroad where they cannot be
found.

Aluminium neckties have been intro

made of the cosmopolitan metal and
frosted or otherwise ornamented in
various shapes. initiating the ordinary
silk or satin article. They are fastened
to the collar button or by a band
around the neck, and are particularly
recommended for summer wear, since
they can be easily cleaned when soiled,

HORSES MOUTHS.

During the many years in which
the writer has been engaged in the
practice of veterinary medicine there
is nothing that has been more foroibly
brought to his attention than the in
difference of most people to the con-
dition of the horses mouth.
They seem to think the mouth never
becomes deranged, when, in fact, 1t is
one of the most sensitive organs of
the equine economy. All young horses
coming three or four years old should
have their teeth and mouth carefully
examined when any symptoms OF ten
derness are shown in the mouth, as IL
is at this age that some of the milk
molars are replaced by the permanent
ones.
In some cases the crown of the
former is only partially displaced,
and gives rise to much pain and an
noyance,
have seen young horse that had
its throat blistered with liniment and
was treated for distemper, when the
trouble was due to misplaced crown
of milk molar, which, upon removal,
gave instant relief.
Again, in some horses the structure
of the teeth is of a comparatively soft
nature, and wears rapidly on the
grinding substances in q ragged and
uneven manner, which severely cut
and lacerate the tongue and cheeks.
This defect may be easily remedied
by the use of the mouth rasp, an in-
strument that may now be found in
nearly all hardware stores.
To heal the raw surfaces little
alum and borax dissolved in water will
act effectually. This humane method,
if pursued by people who own horses.
will prevent much suffering to the
horse and at the same time amply re-
pay the owner in the improved appear
ance of his animal, and in many cases
prevent the loss of much food by quid-
ding and slobbering.
A few words in regard to those bug
bears OF most horse owners, namely,
lampas, SO called, and wolf-teeth.
Lampas is supposed by most people
to possess some mysterious power over
q horse whereby his appetite becomes
deranged.
They therefore resort to cutting and
burning the poor brute's mouth under
the mistaken notion of curing the lam
pas. The writer OF this has been en-
gagged in the care of horses for twenty
five years, and has yet to see a horse
that was affected physically by lam
pas, except in the imagination of its
owner.
1t is the same with the so-called
"wolf-teeth. These teeth are the
vestigIal remains of premolar teeth
that, in the remote ancestors of the
horse, were functional, and they have
become through disuse mere rudi-
ments, as it were, of their former
selves.
They do not, by some occult means,
affect the eyes of horses and cause
them to go blind, nor are they respon-
sible, as some good people contend,
for horse being in poor condition.
Nor is it at all necessary to punch
them out with hammer and cold
chisel. st. Louis Republic.

HOW TO MAKE ALTAR OF ROSES.

Use the fragrant petals of flowers
of the same season. Roses and jas.
mine, with small quantity of sweet.
brier and mignonette, make q nice
mixture. There must be greater
quantity of rose leaves than of all the
others together.
Spread the petals on layer of cot
ton which has been dipped in the
finest Florence or Lucca oil, and
sprinkle over them a little fine salt.
Lay on another sheet of cotton, and
add petals and salt as before; repeat
this, with layer of the oiled cotton
between each layer of petals, until you
have filled a china bowl or a wide.

all the better.
In about fifteen days remove the
bladder and squeeze the cotton and
petals, when fragrant oil will be ex-
pressed resembling the high-priced
altar of roses sold by druggists. The
bottle into which this oil is squeezed
must be corked up Immediately. A
bottle with glass stopper is best for
the purpose. II cork is used tie a

SCOT A FERTILIZER.

Few people know, perhaps, that
SCOT water made from the SCOT of wood
fires is said to be an excellent fertil-
izer of house or outdoor plants. The
SCOT should be brushed down from the
chimney with a long handled brush,
gathered into quart bag and soaked
in rain water over night. The water
will have become as black as ink by
the next morning and will be ready
for use. To use about house plants it
should be considerably diluted, as it
is apt to be too strong for the little
amount of earth in window box or pot.
1t is perfect destroyer of insects and
worms that are the dread of the anna
teur florist and may be used two or
three times week when the plants
are much infested. New York Tele-

Marriage Rings May Be Any Material.

There is popular idea that n ring
made OF gold is the only one that can
be legally used in a wedding cere-
mony. This is, however, a fallacy.
Any and every kind of ring may be
used, and though gold ones are Gus
tomary, there is no reason whatever
why silver or any commoner metal
should not be called into requisition.
Numerous instances are on record of
runaway marriage In which brass
ring has played the all-important part,
and the legality of the ceremony has
never been questioned. In nsome cases
piece Of hurriedly tied string has
answered the same purpose, as have
also circles cut out of card or paper.

The Cat in Law.

Baltimore is now in a state of ex-
citement so great that il leaves its
terrapin untasted and forget to boast
of its base ball team, There is a
great question at issue, one that
comes home to every household in the
city of hills. A Baltimore man stole
a cat from neighbor. A fine NAL
tese tabby it was. and the neightor
had him arrested for theft. Then the
mans lawyer stood boldly up in the
court room and said that it was i'm
possible for anyone to steal a cat, as
that animal is not property, and to
take forcible possession of feline,
even though it be pet one and wear
a ribbon and answer to its name, it is
not a legal offense. What is more, the
bold lawyer won, and the Attorney
General agrees with him, and blow
is struck at all the cats of Maryland.
The Attorney-General in his formal
opinion, declares that cat really is
nothing but wild animal, that it is
of no use to man, and that the taking
of cat without the consent of its
owner is not an indictable offense.-X.
