Nice Thingsto Play with.

Shells filed with frozen dynamite
are one of the most recent inventions
for killing people. The inventor de-
clares that these projectiles, when fred
will smash anything into bits, whether
1t be a wooden box or an iron clad.
The frozen dynamite is packed in the
cavity of the shell, and does not ex-
plode until the missile strikes an OBJ
lect. Another entirely new feature OF
the missile is a slow-burning fuse, suf.

prevent premature explosion while the
shell is traversing the designated dis
lance. Alta recent trial she'll went
clean through three-inch steel plate
at one hundred yards range, and then
exploded, shattering the plate to bits.
The inventor believes that few of his
shells would be sufficient to silence
the most powerful enemy in war
times.

Drouth and weed growth, accompa-
MED by low vitality, have made trees
exceptionally subject to borers and in
sect troubles. As rule, trees that
are infested are those that are low in
vital power, and there is probably nc
time when insect pests need more a..
tention for their determination than a,
present. If this can be accomplished
by spraying and the use of all ordi-
nary precautions, such as cleaning out
all trash, dead limbs and giving the
general ''redding" up that all cult
va'ed trees should receive every spring
aud season of good growth follows,
double advantage will be taken of the
insect pests. 1t is fact that insects
colonize and secure Judgment in or
chards. aud if this is prevented at the
start they are not nearly so injurious
as they will otherwise become. A lib
eral use of strong alkali washes, with
soft soap solution, applied in the fore
part of the summer aud early spring
go long way and with spraying ant
cleaning up will do much to prevent
insect difficulties.

Horses are in such universal use all

ton of the question, what is the cheap
est aud best feed that can be obtained.
is very important one. Mr.. L. b.
Terry settled this question to his own
satisfaction many years ago, at least,
so far as work horses are concerned,
and has followed his conclusions on
the subject to the letter ever since.
1t was his opinion that clover hay was
the cheapest aud best feed and for his
teamwork horses he has fed nothing
else for many years. They have kept
fat and slick all the time and have been
able to do as much hard work as any
other farm horses, and Mr.. Terry says
that none of them have ever lost a day
from sick b.
When b ays he feeds on clover
hay, he mt that he feeds that all
the time never anything else.
For more til ! fifteen years he has not
fed to his horses a grain of oats, corn
or any other grain. But TO his pair
of driving horses he has always fed
grain. His principal reason for this
was that when horses live ON clover
hay exclusively, they developed too
much ''barrel" aud became oo"paun-

Now, however, an Indiana physician,
DR.. n. d. Gaddy of Loett, Ind, has
proved very conclusively that for
driving horses clover hay is as salts

Surprising that you had been born

II is harder work to make the best
butter from a one-cow dairy, especially
late in The season, when the milk les

least expense when the dairy is large
enough to require churning every day.
This makes great deal of hard work,
unless it impes the dairymen to pro-
vide power of some kind, so as to re-
lieve the hard labor. This it gener-
ally does. Whenever the dairy is large

If, in blowing land to prepare it for
planting, great many of the white or
brown grubs are seen, there is no use
in planting it with strawberries this
year. The white grub almost always
infests timothy sod, the parent bug

the bulb just at the surface of the

Elder Grant WAS too weak TO undergc
