sists in saturating a piece of soft rag,
attached to slender stick, in turpen-
tine, and then thrusting it into the
passage to the nest, stopping up the
hole with piece of turf. 1tkills every
wasp, and there is no necessity what
ever for digging them ont. Use thor
oughly good turpentine, for when it
has lost much of its strength it will
fail in its action. Such a remedy as
this is safe, and quite as good as the
dangerous preparations so often adopt

verified cyanide of potassium put into
the nest at any time of the day forms
good remedy. If quietly done the in

A Little Girls Resentment Toward a IN

tits claimed that this story originated
in Cleveland, a claim which may very
well be true, because Cleveland-and
especially the east end-has more pre-
cocious children to the acre than Bos-
ton could boast of in her palmiest days,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. This
particular precocious infant lives on
a pretty cross street in that favored
locality. Not long ago she was troubled
with an annoying and persistent tooth
ache. Finally her mamma took her to
a dentist and the dentist interviewed
the troublesome tooth. After examin-
ing it he told her that the best thing
to do under the circumstances was to
have the tooth extracted, as Il contained
a very large cavity and this was the
seat of the trouble. Bracing herself
firmly in the chair she babe him go
ahead and remove the acher. After
the operation was over she carefully
wrapped the tooth in paper and de-
clared she would take it home.
Next day her mamma noticed that
she was an unusually good girl. and,
upon looking around, located her in
window seat industriously polSing SUI
gar into the cavity of the extracted
tooth. Her mother demanded the cause
of this strange proceeding.

the whole pipe of water, and the time
and trouble required to fetch the
pump" viii make the thing practical
~ a failure. To overcome this a well
pump must be used, bringing the cyl
inder near the bottom of the cellar.
Then let the suction pipe turn upward,
as shown in the illustration, and pass
out through the cellar wall little high
er than the top of the cylinder. This
will cause water always to remain in
the pump and thus secure the pipe from
becoming empty. With this arrange
ment water may be drawn under
ground to where it is needed from a
distance of ten or twenty rods without
difficulty, except that it must be from a
point not more than 25 feet lower than
the pump cylinder. If the kitchen is
subjected to freezing temperature in
the winter the pump may be protected
by making a small hole at "a," thus per-
uniting the water to escape down to
that point when the pump is not in use.

cuLTlvATINe GRASS.
No Crop Grown on the Average Farm

No Crop Grown on the Average Farm
Pays Better.
There is no part of farming at the
present day so much neglected as the
meadow, and there is no crop grown
that pays better. The general idea of
the farmer is that the meadow does not
require any cultivation or care. The
meadow" he says. "is all right.
seeded this field three or five years ago;
but | cannot see why get so light a
crop"
1t is quite plain you have been rob
bing the land for three years and re-
turning nothing. Worse than that;
you have allowed the moss TO creep in
and smother the roots which YOU have
robbedof their natural sustenance, with
out returning anything to them or driv-
ing off the moss from the root-bound
grass. What kind of corn crop would
you get if you did not cultivate it? To
insure a big crop of hay cultivate it.
Haul, during the month of December,
say from six TO eight loads TO the acre
of barnyard manure and spread it while
hauling as evenly as you can with
fork. Then as early as you can get on
the meadow in March, or as soon as the
frost is out and the ground dry enough
to get on with team, take a good har-
row and drag it thoroughly, and then
cross-harrow it. You will imagine Won
are going to ruin your meadow, but you
are simply loosening the roots and Civ
ing themsa chance; and when harvest
time comes you viii find you not only
did not injure your meadow, but great
" increased your crop of grass, and
also improved your ground. This mat
ter of cultivating grass is not a mere
theory" 1t is a principle, proved to be
correct by actual trial with profitable
results. In 1852 Josiah Bagley, of Sc
rena, from a siX-acre meadow took
- loads of hay, with no after-crop.
The following season. he MANFRED and
cultivated the same six acres substan-
TALLY as outlined above Some of his
neighbors laughed at him; but about
the 10th of July, 1883, he cut 10 loads of
grass from these six acres. and in the
last of September cut a second crop of
nine loads. He says: 81 am an advo-
cate of cultivating grass. -. L. Por-

FACTS FOR FARMERS.


Flax is very exhaustive to the soil.
Insure your buildings against cy-
clones.
Shallow cultivation of corn should be
the rule.
Drainage will greatly increase the
value of wet ground.
Roots cannot penetrate subsoil that
is as hard as a stone.
The silo will enable the farmer to
keep more cows profitably.
In sections where cyclones are likely,
a storm cave shows wisdom.
Spare the harrow in the early stages
of corn growth and spoil the crop.
The hired man should be a gentle
man among the children in the home.
We do not like the barbed wire fence
and would not have one, while other
fencing can be had
When the surface bakes after a rain, a
light harrow should be used, whether
the crop is up or not
Hailstorms are likely anywhere, and
insurance against them is as necessary
as insurance against fire.
Eighty acres, intensively cultivated
are better than 100 acres under the too
often loose system of farming.-West-

into its place and, fastens without the

Refuse to Feed You.
why do you feed your horse?" If
that question were asked the average
farmer he would doubtless answer:
You are fool; feed him to keep him
alive and able to work" But if the
question were asked: "Why don't you
feed your land?' the average farmer
would not be so ready with his answer.
Yet the one thing is no more important
than the other. If it is absurd to be
able to work and produce results hav-
ing no material to be converted into
strength, it is no less so to expect land
to produce crops continuously without
having new supplies of plant food with
which to make them grow. No soil is
inexhaustible.
While there are large accommodations
of plant food in some localities, con-
tinuous cropping and the teaching and
washing caused by rains will in time
deplete and exhaust them. 1t is better
to feed the land before it is starved. 1t
is easier to keep a horse fat than to
fatten a poor one; and it is easier to
keep land productive than to take that
which is dead poor and make it so. A
horse that is still strong enough to as
simulate his food can soon acquire his
normal strength; he only wants plen-
ty of good food. Land that will grow
crops of any leguminous plant will, if
the same are plowedl under or fed off
in the field in short time recover
enough tone to produce profitable crops
of other things. But if allowed to run
down so that neither clover nor peas
will make a crop, it cannot be economic
ally restored. A word to the wise is
sufficient; begin this year to feed your
land, so that it in turn may feed you
