All the talk of the bicyclefa having

wheeling women are becoming loud
takers, with an unpleasant quality of

and when to this is added the strain to
which the voice is subjected in an effort
to keep up conversation while cy-

than a shadow. Somea persons who
have made voice culture life study

asserting that exercise on the wheel is

Moving of the Harvest.

After every harvest, especially a wet
one, there is sure to be rank growth
of weeds that until harvest have been
kept back by tie growth of grain. So
soon as that is removed they have all
the soil to themselves, and if rain oc-
ours while the weather is warm great
er amount Of plant food than the field
has previously furnished. No wonder
that the weeds find these conditions so
favorable that they quickly overshadow
the grass and clover seedlings. The only
way to cure this evil is to go over the
piece with the mower set high enough
to miss most Of the clover and there
fore not leaving much Of a mulch over
it when cut. If this is done, the rag
weed and other weeds that crowd out
the clover will themselves be overshad-
owed and smothered by it. The check
to growth Of ragweed, which is at this
season nearly ready to flower, is much
greater than it is to the clover, which
Is not SO far advanced. As a conse-
quence the clover growth quickly smoth-
ers the ragweed so that it is scarcely
able to blossom again. This is not the
best of this method. The stimulation to
the soil by cutting off the tops Of rag
weed and an occasional clover leaf will
make so large a growth Of clover that
a month later it will probably also need
to be cut to keep the clover from bios
soming and seeding, as spring sown
clover will sometimes do the same year
it ia sown. says American Oultivator,
authority for the foregoing.

For the Horses Comfort.

The most commonly used fly net for
horses is of leather and has ribs or
strips running along the back with
laces running crosswise, the ends hang
ing loose at the horse's side. The finest
fly nets also are of leather and are made
in the same manner, but Of finer mate
rials and finish. While the laces of the
cheaper nets are rather coarse in size
and out square, those of the costlier nets
are fine and smooth and round. The
cheaper nets are made to go from the
collar to the tail and sometimes from
the ears to the tail The fine nets are
made some to reach from the saddle to
the tail and some from the collar to the
tail, and fine nets are made, though not
often, to reach from the ears to the tail.
Fly nets in all grades are made Of
cotton or OF linen woven like fish nets.
There is a separate part to cover the
neck and ears. There are also made to
cover the horses ears and the crown Of
the horses head fine linen ear nets,
which are handsomely finished and styl-
ish in appearance. These various kinds
of fly nets are made for outdoor wear.
Even the finest Of them are not very
costly.

are provided stable nets made Of scrims.
