FARM NOTES.-The best work ir
fighting insect pests is done when they
first make their appearance.
To have pigs in the orchard is not
only good for the pigs but also good
for the trees, provided there is good
pasturage.
It is safe rule not to expect or al.
low q tree to bear more fruit than its
branches will sustain.
The tree wants solid ground to take
hold in and be firm and solid, and i
will make rugged tree.
In fighting the curculio on the plum
the trees should be Jared daily in or
der to make thorough work.
The black walnut is perhaps th'
most profitable of the timber trees Il
plant in damp, deep soil.
1t is safe plan at all times ant
under all conditions to cut away an!
dead or decaying wood.
An economical and easy remedy TO
many of the ailments and enemies o
fruit trees is good application o
wood ashes.

geese gaggle in the pond; fowls and
pigeons 60 early to roost and the farm
horses grow restless. Abroad, the
ants hurry and skurry, rushing hither
and thither; spiders crowd on the
wall toads emerge from their boles
and the garden paths are everywhere
covered with slugs and snails. When
the chafiinch says "weet, weet," it is
an infallible sign of rain. AS the rain
draws nearer, peacocks cry and frogs
croak clamorously from the bitches.
These are signs which almost every
one has heard who lives in the coun-
try, though one of the surest ways OF
predicting weather changes is by OBJ
serving the habits of snails. Snails
never drink, but imbibe moisture du-
ring rain and exude it afterwards.
They are seldom seen abroad except
before rain, when they commence
climbing trees and getting upon the
leaves. The tree-snail is so sensitive
to weather that it will commence to
climb two days before the rain comes.
If the downpour is to be prolonged
the snail seeks the underpart of a leaf
but if short or light rain is coming Il
stays on the outside. There is anoth-
er species which is yellow before rain
and blush after it. Others indicate
change by dents and protuberances
resembling tubercules. These begin
to show themselves ten days before
rain, and when it comes, the pores Of
the tubercules open and draw in the
moisture. In othersagain deep linden
tations, beginning at the head, between
the horns, and ending with the joint
ure of the tail, appear few days be-
fore q storm.

ORIG STORE ON WEATHER BOW.

"Speaking of Irishmen and drug

West. Gan Irishman shipped as 6
sailor on a large vessel which was
getting ready to go to sea. The sor
of Erin knew no more about the duties
of sailor than he did about singing
in grand opera; but he said he could
learn, and the captain decided to give
him trial. The third day out at ses
it came Dennis's turn to 60 on watch

said the captain, "if anything happens

"sI will, sor,' said Dennis, and he

midnight the captain was startled

Dennis came falling down the stair

the cabin door, shouting, 'Cap'n

THE HOME DOCTOR.

Olive oil saturated with camphor
makes an excellent application for in
fammatory swellings also for rubbing
rheumatic joints.
"The soothing effects of hot water
are not fully appreciated" said ply
sician the other day. ~ recommend
it to a large number of my patients
who suffer from insomnia produced by
nervous irritation of the stomach, and
also for certain forms of indigestion.
Many of them object to it at first, but
soon come to like it and are generally
much benefited by it. A glass of hot
water now and then will work no ap-
preciable good, Of course, but steady
habit of hot water drinking once
formed, and sustained regularly for q
few months, works wonders with GER
tain constitutions. Igenerally recon-
mend its use just before going to bed.
1t is a great soother."
A celebrated physician declares that
he can name seventy differently dis
eases, some of them incurable, which
are the result of the use of tobacco.
This may be an exaggerating, but it is
absolutely certain that many an OBJ
scure affection of the nervous system
is the result of its abuse. While we
deprecate the excessive use of tobacco
in adults, we condemn utterly its use in
growing boys. The evil effects are al,
ready showing themselves, and in a
few years we shall hardly find room in
our asylums for feebleminded youth.
1t behooves every father of boys to
put stop at once to the practice, and
since the State has an interest in the
health, both moral and physical, of its
future citizens, we believe some enact
ment by the legislature to forbid the
sale to or use of cigarettes by minors
would be looked upon with favor. 1t
is the duty of every family physician
to explain to those over whose health
be has supervision the evil consequent
ces of the use of cigarettes by their
children. 1t is the duty of the medical,
secular and religious press to denounce
the use of tobacco by minors. Will
they do it Pacific Record.

The Autoharp Is one OF the
most novel inventions Of the
age, representing perhaps
more than any other the tri-
umphal progressiveness Of
American inventive genius.
In size and shape the Auto
harp resembles the either, but
the scale Is similar to the
grand harp. Padded mutes or
hampers which are called
chord-bars or manuals, are
placed over the strings. By
pressing one of these bars and
running the fingers across the
strings, a perfect chord is pro-
duced-soft and sweet or loud
and strong-as one may desire.

THE CALL FOR BONDS.

1t Does Not Differ Materially From
Previous Ones.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE an
nouncement that Secretary of the Treas
ury Carlisle had asked for bids for
a bond issue Of $10O,O0O,OOO was
something OF a surprise to the subor-
dinate officials Of the treasury depart
ment, as no intimation of his purpose
had been given to any one here. Outside
OF the president, and robably Secretary
Olney no one knew Of Secretary Car
isles intention. Indeed, it is believed
the conclusion was not reached until
late Sunday afternoon. The new
bonds will not differ in any respect
from those issued to the syndicate, and
such as are needed after the supply now
on hand has been exhausted will be
printed from the old plates.
Think the Syndicate VIII Get Them.
Persons we'll qualified to judge of the
result of the issue do not look for large
subscriptions from private individuals,
and the opinion is expressed that the
syndicate bid for the entire issue will
be accepted. It is recalled that private
subscriptions to the first loan of $780,
OO,O0O amounted to only about $45, ,OO0,-
600, and to the last loan but little more.
and as the bid submitted by the syn
dicate contained the condition that
they be awarded the entire amount or
none, left the government little option
in the matter. The last issue resulted
in the payment into the treasury of $685.
1924 in gold, for which the gov
ernment issued 4 per cent thirty
year bonds to the amount of $685.
