Curious Ball-Bearing Shears.
A Connecticut man is the inventor
of all-bearing shears for use by
BARRIERS, tailors, ETC., which is at least
> curiosity. Two annular series oi
balls are disposed in the pivotal con-
nection of the shears, which pivotal
connection comprises an annular ball
seat, from the centre of which pro
iects short "boss" interiorly thread.
sd to receive the pivot screw, the head
of which is formed to serve partial
ball channel. When the two shear
members are secured together there
is a double series of balls involved,
which removes friction and increases
ihe cutting capacity of the instru
ment. They can be readily adjusted

them that they will not become

Growing Corn After Corn.

Successive cori growing is, wastefal of

means the surface soil is protected from

growing corn for grain on the same land
year after year developed so much corn
smut on the ears that the crop could not
he longer growth But where corn IS
grown for fodder and sown so thickly
that it will not ear, two or three crops of
corn may be growi iii succession, ana
sometimes with advantage. 1t can on!
be done, however, BY sowing with the
corn after the last cultivation rs some me- crop o1
that will make covering for the SOL
during the winter. Rye and crimson
clover sown together in August make a
good combination If it is in locality
where Septembersown crimson clover
will live through the winter, that should
be sown alone and in August If possible
so as to get better growth before fall.
We should advise sowing some crimson
clover seed with the rye i'll September,
even where the winters are severe. The
grain will protect the clover to some eX.
tent. and if the clover is killed out it will
fertilize the grain in spring. Then in
winter draw all the manure that the pre-
yious corn crop has made Oh the land,
and spread it evenly. This will be still
further protection for the crimson clover.
The rye and some clover will make an
early growth in the spring, before time
to plow them under for another crop OF
fodder corn. After two or three crops OF
corn grown thus the land should be seed
ed with red clover, whose roots will &c

Crow Graiu Does Not Rust.

The reason why grain Toes not always
rust in moist warm weather is because,
as usually sown. the plants crowd each
other so that none get an over supply OF
the plant food which such weather de-
velops. In our hot summer, evefi when
dry, it would not do to hoe the small
grains like wheat, as is done by English
farmers. The hoei1g would not make
any more plants and 1t does increase the
supply of nitrogen in the soil. The
American substitute for hoeing small
grain is to roll or harrow it while It is
young enough to tiller. This checks the
growth of leaves already formed, at the
same time melcwing T.. soil and causing
new shoots to put forth. This will on
rich land make Il rank growth that will
have strong straw and will not rust. If,
however, the soil be- deficient in mineral
fertility the heads of the grain will not
fill as they should do. and this often oc-
ours when the soil has plenty of nitro
genous fertilizers; causing a rank growth
of straw:

Thirty poisoncu, Plan Is.

In order to supply the great demand by
farmers and others for information IN !
relation to poisonous plants, the United
States department of agriculture has IS,
sued farmers bulletin No. 81, entitled
Thirty Poisonous Plants of the United
States" 1t was prepared by v. n.
Chestnut assistant botanist.
The division of botany has during the
last three years been collecting general
and specific information concerning poi
sonous plants, and has investigated a
number Of cases of poisoning which have
been reported to the division. By COM
municating with the physician who hat!
charge Of each case, accurate and full
data were obtained with regard to many
plants.
This bulletin contains descriptions of
thirty. and illustrations of twenty-four
of the most important poisonous plants
of the United States The poisonous
character, localities where found, and
symptoms of poisoning are also briefly
described.
The bulletin says that owing to,a lack
of statistics it is impossible to form even
an approximate estimate of the damage
done by poisonous plants. A number OF
children are killed annually by the vari-
Gus species of water hemlock. Many cat
tie are also killed.
All poisonous plants are not equally In
furious to all persons nor to all forms Of
life The poison ivy, for instance, acts
upon the skins of the majority of persons
but with varying intensity. Many people
are probably wholly immune, and it has
no apparent external effect upon animals

In Favor Of the DRINKERS.

Somebody in Cleveland the other day
repeated story Of Senator Jones which
was told at Roadside club dinner not
long ago.
The incident was the result Of one Of
President Cleveland's vetoes. The Pres
ident had vetoed an old woman's pen
sion bill OH the ground that "she got
drunk"
"Once in San Francisco" said Senator
Jones, as he discussed the veto ON the
Senate floor, "a man fell into a hole in
the sidewalk and sued the city for his in
juries. The defense put in was that the
man was drunk. This nightly incersed
the court.
"'There is nothing in such a defense,
said the judge, savagely. A drunken
man has as much right to have perfect
sidewalk as sober man, and needs one
worse
'"That," concluded Jones, ''is the way
l feel about this old lady's pension.
And he voted to pass it over the veto.
The pension went through.

E:fore the Calves Como:

In an article credited to exchange" as
a letter from Il wcllknown breeder of
ShorthOrnS, he says in the winter of 1891
80 he had thirty-siX head of thorough
bred Shorthorn COWS, and i'll less than
four months eighteen II them aborted.
Having tried several cyhcr methods of
treatment ill vain trying to check it, he
decided to test carbolic acid "n one COW,
knowing it was Il dea lily POISON. She
was then showing stroug symptoms of De
ing about to :lbo't, and he began with
One-eighth of IN Glincs, of ca jolic acid
in bran mash every other day. She be-

appeared. and she produced Il fine, strong,
healthy calf Mt the end Of her full time
Then he began, trentiug the entire herd
the same way; including those which had
aborted before, and gradually Increased
the dose up to a half ounce every other
day.
This was III March 1895; ahd he has
not had d case of abortion i'll his herd
since AS an extra Lrecaution he also
disinfected the stalls every night by
spraying with solution made by dis
solving two tablets of bichlorate of mer-
curry in quart of water. and washed the
hind parts of those which had aborted
with some solution. This he kept uI
until they had passed the time when they
should have dropped their calves, when
they were served again. From that serv-
ice they went full time, and had the
next year strong, healthy calves. and he
has not had a case in his herd since:
He thinks there is no danger in the
dose of one-cighth Of an ounce, or i'll i'll

Why. l thought ut first twas jolly;
Cause you see

He's so small, it's just amazing.
And you'd think that he was Dlazihs'
He's SO red;
And his nose is like a berry,
And he's bald as Uncle Jerry
On his head.
He's no kind of good whatever,

Never stop;

An important Decision.

A notable decision was rendered re.
Gently in the Circuit Court of the United
States for the Northern District of Cali
fornia, making permanent an injunction
obtained by the California Fig SyruI
Company restraining the defendant par
ties "from making, using or selling any
LIQUID laxative medicine marked with the
name Syrup of Figs or Fig Syrup o,
any colorado imitation Of the same" The
decision also protects the California Fie
Syrup Company against imitation Of theil
wrappers, boxes and symbolical designs
used in connection with their famous laxa
tive. The decision is Of the greatest value
not only to manufacturers of proprietary
articles, but to the public generally, as il
aHirms that the valuable reputation &C
quired by an article of merit will be pro
tected by the courts, and that the party
who builds the reputation by extensive
and legitimate advertising is entitled to
the full fruits of his enterprise.

Decrease i'm Bundle Bees.

Wherever humble bee is seen i'll a
room it's loud buzzing, added to the
knowledge OF the fact that it is really
dangerous if it comes to close quarters,
gives everybody Il desire to kill it and
put it where it will do no harm. Yet
really it would be better in most cases
if a door or window were opened and the
humble bee allowed to fly away. Early
in spring the humble bees that are tying
around about houses are i'll search OF
places to make their tests. So many
are killed. however; that in the long
settled parts of the country the humble
bee is much scarcer than 1t used to be.
They are the only bee that can reach
down into the blossoms of red clover,
and their work in honey gathering fer
tilizes the blossom so that it can pro-
duce seed. The humble bee, therefore,
ought to be encouraged instead Of being
destroyed.

SEEDS THAT NEED FIRE.
Curious Facts About Certain Trees in
California and Australia.

A Californian pine tree whose seed cones
can only be opened by fire or great heat
has been attracting considerable attet,
ton at Kew gardens, London. 1t seems,
however, that this tree, pinus muricata,
is not alone in it's salamander-likc re-
quirements, for a former Australian liv.
ing in London writes as follows:
THE waffle tree of Australia (acacia
decurrens) also possesses the same pc;
culiarity, and it's seeds will only germin
ate when subjected to great heat. Soak
ing the seeds of this tree in boiling watel
or roasting them in Il frying pan for some
hours has been tried and found success
full, but all other methods have failed
After the seed has fallen from the tree
it will often lie dormant in the ground fol
years, but Immediately bush fire
comes along and reduces all the present
trees to ashes las is often the case il
Australia, the seed terminates and aper
feet forest of young trees will spring uL
within twelve months. Even on ground
where there has not been a waffle tree
growing within living memory these trees
have been noticed to grow up after 8
bush fire. The waffle tree, being yer,
susceptible to fire, is easily killed, and il
the same means that caused it's destruc
ton did not induce it to grow again il
would very soon be eradicated."
