Earring Sleeps Noses.


In summer sheep are apt to be trou-
bled by the fly which deposits eggs in
their noses, and afterwards matches the
maggot which burrows in their heads
and often proves fatal, Sheep are much
excited when they find this fly, run
ming with their nose close to the ground
and rubbing it into any loose soil they
may find Tarring the nose is the best
preventive and always effective if tax
en- in time 1t is easily done by leaving
tar in the field and throwing a handful
of salt over it. In their eagerness to
get the salt, the sheep will thoroughly
coat their noses with tar. It should be
renewed so long as warm weather
lasts, for the tar will gradually wear
off and cease to be protection.

Agricultural Notes,

Insure your buildings against cy-
clones.
Drainage will greatly increase the
value of wet ground.
Roots cannot penetrate subsoil that
is as hard as 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 gentleman
among the children in the house.
In sections outside the corn belt corn
can often be profitably grown for the
slio.
Hay caps are a good investment.
They will in a wet season pay for
themselves very quickly.
When the surface bakes after 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 intensiyely cultivated
are better than 100 acres under the too
often loose system of farming.
For a root that is such unquestion-
able value to the hog, the artichoke gets
more hard knocks than it deserves.
A Nebraska man protects his corn
from gophers by scattering corn
around the field for the gophers to feed
upon.
Divide up the farm among the grown
boys, if it is large enough to make sew
eral reasonably sized farms, and en-
courage each TO get home of his own.
Do you allow smoking in the barn?
If you do, increase your insurance.
That may not be exactly honest, but
when man tries to burn his barn the
matter OF honesty will not probably
WORRY him.

For scorchcd Linens.

1t is said that when linens are badly
scorched the spot can be removed il
treated in the following manner: Tx
tract the juice from two peeled onions
and put it into an agate or granite YES
sci. Add to it half an ounce of white
two ounces of ful1er's earth. Mix them
together and then stir in one cup OF
vinegar. Stand the vessel over the fire
and let it's contents thoroughly boil.
When the mixture has become cool
spread it over the scorched linen and
let it dry upon the cloth. When well
dried wash out the linen.

Care of Hair Brushes.

Proper attention must be paid to the
brushes one uses if one values her hair.
To begin with, brushes should be kept
spotlessly clean. Have them made of
moderately stiff bristles, not too long,
and put in singly, that is, not close to-
gether. Closely set long bristles are
very liable to assist in spelling the
hair. They are apt to split at the ends
and catch the hair as it passes through
them and break it off. Watch your hair
brushes closely, and when split bris-
tie is found it should be removed at
once.

Sleeping Suggestions.

A healthy infant sleeps most of the
time during the first few weeks, and IN
the early years people are disposed to
let children sleep as much rs they will.
But from six to seven years old, when
school begins. the sensible policy comes
to an end, and sleep is put off persist
emily through all the years up to man
hood and womanhood. At the age Of
ten or eleven the child is allowed to
sleep only eight or nine hours, when its,
parents should insist on its having
what it absolutely needs, which is ten.
or twelve hours at least. Up to twenty
a youth needs nine hours sleep, and an
adult should have eight.

Cold Water for Rose s1ugs.

Rose slugs are very troublesome, es-
pecially on sandy soil, where they will
increase faster than they can be killed
off. 1t is not so generally known as it
should be that cold water thrown with
a force pump against rose bushes will
entirely destroy the slugs and do the
roses no harm. Water that is heated to
1870 degrees or 40 degrees will also kill
not only rose slugs but most kinds of
insect pests.

Turnip Flavors in Milk.

When cows accidentally get into a
turnip patch, or other vegetables that
impart bad flavor to the milk, it can
be made as good as ever for cream and
butter making if it is heated to tenn
perature of 14O degrees. This is best
done by placing the vessel in water
which is quickly brought to a slightly
higher temperature. All the odor passes

volatile. In cooling, the cream will rise

Soft Foods.

Habitually eating soft foods, even
soft bread, to the exclusion of every
thing that is hard or crusty, is not
only weakening to the digestive or
gans, but it leads to rapid decay OF
the teeth. When these are not used
in the mastication of harder foods,
the teeth become covered with tar

sockets, or the gums will bleed. The

Sugar Corn.

10 grow large ears, well filled out,
the soil must be deep, mellow and heav-
lily fortified. The best growers spread
one inch of rOtted manure in the fur
row, and when the corn is six inches in
height SOW 600 pounds of phosphate to
the acre and cultivate it in. Liquid
manure is an excellent stimulant. 1t is
run between the rows at the rate of
fifty barrels to the acre. Night soil is
another valuable manure for this crop;
twelve two-horse loads is the right
quantity to spread broadcast before
planting. The manure and soil should
be we'll mixed together. Sweet corn
may be planted all through July and up
to the 10th of August. For market or
for family use, plant every fifteen days.
The ground should be deeply ploWed
and nicely pulverized.

How to Sweep "A Room.

"A little brushing up every day, using
the carpet-sweeper will remove all in
cidental rubbish and keep things fresh
and neat. No room can be we'll swept
with the furniture remaining in it;
each movable piece should be busted
and set in an adjoining room, where it
will be safe until the room is ready for
it. Big muslin slips put over the stuffed
chairs are an aid. After cleaning the
room open the windows, brush down
the walls, scatter about little damp
salt and begin sweeping at one corner
of the room, taking short strokes and
brushing toward the center of the
room. Remove all dust from the out
side blinds and wash the windows
while the dust is settling. All the highly
polished articles of furniture should be
gone over with a piece of soft chamois
to brighten them up.
Canning Blackberriesa and Raspberries
Select firm raSpberries, and put them
into colander, which sink gradually
into pan of cold water Lift and
drain. Arrange neatly in the cold jars,
then fill with cold water, adjust the
rubbers and place the lids carelessly on
top. Do not faSten them. Place little
hay, straw or excelsior in the bottom Of
an ordinary wash-boler, on which
stand the jars. Pour into the boiler suf-
ticient cold water to come nearly to the
neck of the jars, cover the boiler and
bring slowly to boiling point AS soon
as the water reaches boiling point lift
top. Stand out of the draught to slowly
cool. Strawberries and blackberrieS
may be canned after this rule.-I.adies'

SUGAR BEET TESTS.
Can Raise Quantities
of the Vegetable.

Pullman, Oct. 4.-Prof. Fulmer Of the
agricultural college spent Saturday in
making tests of sugar beets raised in the
Yakima valley by irrigation. A large
number were tested, the results showing
from IA to pol per cent sugar, the aver
age being a fraction over IS per cent.
This is an excellent showing, as the min
imum requirement at the factory is u
per cent and IA per cent is considered
good. Only one sample of those tested
yesterday was as low as IA per cent.
In speaking of sugar beets yesterday,
Prof. Fulmer said: II have made nearly
5000 tests Of sugar beets grown on the
farm and in various parts Of the Palouse
country since coming to the college and
the average per cent of sugar in these
tests has been between Is and l6 per cent.
The minimum requirements for profitable
sugar making is u per cent, but | have
found but few samples that yielded that
low
The professor thinks this is one of the
greatest beet countries in the world, as
beets yield from IS to 20 tons per acre
This is considered very conservative es-
innate and Prof. Fulmer told of one man
who was an experienced grower of sugar
beets who placed the average yield at
from 25 to 80 tons per acre. The price
generally paid for beets at the factory
is 1925 per ton u a basis Of y per cent
sugar, with an additional 25 cents per
ton for each add 'iional one per cent of
sugar. This would make the average
price paid for beets grown in this coun-
try about 81 pr ton, OF about SIS per

This morning the trainmen were COM

pared to offer any resistance when five
masked men came upon them at the lone
ly siding. The place is uninhabited and
the only persons in the vicinity at the
time were four section men, These sec
tion men tagged the train, the robbers
having compelled them to do so. The
bandits were hidden at the time in
brush pile and jumped out as soon as the
passenger train took the siding. Under

way While three of the robbers COW
cred the badly frightened crowd with
their guns, the other two coolly and care

senger to another down the line. The
bandits secured about $500 in cash and
such other valuables in the way of watch
es, pins and jewelry as were in sight.
jim Wright of Minco showed dispo-
sition to resist when the bandits ordered
''handsup." They shot one of his ears
off to prove to his satisfaction that his
bravery was ill-advised. Wright's hands
then went up. No one else was injured.
The passengers and trainmen, having
been thoroughly plucked, three of the
bandits turned their attentions to the ex-
press and mail coaches, the others stand
ing guard over the hapless crowd on the
prairie. The registered mail pouches
were quickly ritled, but the through safe

and ingenuity of the road agents. When
the messenger convinced them that he
could not open the strong box they re-

bandit proof, and though it was badly
battered, its contents were saved to the
express company.
