In these crucial days of wireless telegra-

chainless bikes" and hairless dog, the
hammerless gun was quite to be expect

mer gun. 1 have seen men lose from
three to five shots a day in quail and
snipe shooting because the triggers were
locked when the shooter thought the gun
was cooked. Enthusiasts on the hammer

The field shot who includes duck shoot

go to make up real man. He should be
a tireless walker and a first-class swim

boat backward and forward.
No amount of caution is too much in
handling shotguns. Breechloading did
away to very great extent with the IL
ability to injury, but accidents still hap
pen. In approaching a fence always sip
out the shells. Never shoot in thick cover
unless you know where your companion
is. Never hunt with more than one com
panion. Never carry a loaded gun in

MANUFACTURERS FAVOR
NATIONAL AID TO IRRIGATION

The manufacturers of the east are
beginning TO see what a National
benefit it would be if the west could
be we'll populated and thickly inter-
spersed with productive irrigated
farms. AT meeting of the St.
Louis Manufacturers Association,
on October II, it was urged that
the farm and stock interests of the
west and the interests of the Miss
ouri and Mississippi Valleys, which
are subject to floods, demand the
construction of storage reservoirs,
to prevent such floods and to pro-
vide irrigation, and it was proposed
to urge upon Congress the building
OF these great works under the river
and harbor bill as a system of in
ternal improvement and develop
ment. Eastern manufacturers, of
course, see the opportunity for vast
expansion of trade with the opening
and settlement of western irrigated
lands, and the fact that they are
showing direct interest in the prob
lem should cause its western advo-
Gates no little satisfaction.

On the 18th Of this month (next
Tuesday, people who desire to stay
up and watch for it can see, so as
tronomers predict, a spectacular
stream of shooting stars. The fol-
lowing is from the Denver Times re-
garding it;
On the night of the I4th of next
month November there will pour
from the heavens, astronomers pre-
dict, the most remarkable and spec
tacular stream ofshooting stars seen
since the century began. In Wash

States Naval observatory are making
elaborate preparations for observing
the appearance of the Leonids, while

eager interest an opportunity to OBJ

Once every thirty-three years the
spectacle of millions of stars falling
out of the heavens is witnessed by
the human race-a seemingly long
time, but only a second in the etern-

is safe that none who behold the
cataclysm Of living fire which will
pour from the sky when the orbit of
the Leonids intersects that of the
earth will fail to bear in mind for
ever the memory Of the spectacle.
Every year few scattered fragments
of the shattered heavenly body are
seen, but the appearance of the
main groups is relatively rare.

HANDY PRUNING KNIFE.
Especially Adapted for Cutting out
the Old wood of Strawberry ana
Raspberry Plants.

Anyone having tried to cut out the
old wood of raspberries and blackber-
ries without proper tool knows that
the job is anything but pleasant one.
Various-shaped knives are in use.
l have seen more hook-shaped and v
shaped knives than any other kind.
But such knives cut hard. The force
necessary to cut an old woody cane
Is sometimes quite enough to pull up
a whole raspberry plant. To make cut
ting easy one should draw the knife
across the object to be cut. A slice of
beefsteak may be shaved off much
easier by drawing cut than by pres
sure squarely against it with the knife,
however sharp it may be. If the same
principle could be applied to The old
wood of our berry plantations some
thing would be gained.

works well. | have tested it, and find

it superior to anything else have seen.
Looking at the accompanying illustra-
ton one might suppose knife of such
shape would slip off instead of cutting.
But that is not so. In testing it one
will be surprised how nicely it will do
the cutting. 1t will slip just enough
to give the drawing motion, and thus
it will sever the hard cane from the
stub with the least outlay of strength
The illustration represents the shape
of the knife exactly as it should be. a
good blacksmith should be able to make
one out of a worn-out fiat file. 1t
should be inserted in an old hoe-handle,
or something of that order, and be
keyed on as shown. A leather loop
may be nailed to the wooden handle
about halfway up to prevent the hand
from slipping on the handle, but this
is not essential.
Gathering up the old wood and the
trimmings is another unpleasant fea-
ture of berry culture. Here, also, the
right tool will facilitate the work. The
best thing | know of is rake made out
of a WORKOUT wheelrake, such as en-
cumber many farm. An enterprising
farmers boy of mechanical turn will
be able to construct one without much
trouble. 1t should be made narrow
enough to work easily between the
rows, and the two straight handles
should be bolted on and left sticking
out behind to guide and lift the tool by.
A ten-acre field may be gone over with
such a rake in one day, leaving all the
brush at the ends of the rows. 1t is
pretty hard work to run the tool.-F.

BACTERIA AND FLAVOR,
Useful and Practical InformatiO
Placed in the Possession of
Dairymen by Science.

Probably in no department of re-
search is greater amount of investi
CATION going forward and valuable data
and actual discovery being made than
in dairy science; and while some of
the discoveries have been of little or
no value, a wonderful amount of use
full and practical material has been
placed in the hands of the dairymen,
says Mark Lane Express. Among the
new things announced, since it has
been shown how nearly ferments and
flavors in butter are associated is that
if certain acids are added to sweet
cream 1t is not necessary to wait for
the development Of Tactic acid bacteria
in the cream, but that it could be
churned at once, and churned quite
readily, and the true flavor secured.
Investigators have been at work Oh
this problem, and an announcement of
the results has been made. The most
satisfactory result came from using
hydrochloric acid diluted in twice its
bulk 81 water, and adding this in small
quantities to the sweet cream. Every
thing was satisfactory, except that the
butter had no aroma, though it was
pronounced fair and good by the
judges. The butter kept well, and had
water content of 1919 per cent; but
the low flavor was against it, though
not trace of acid was to be detected, ;,
or found by analysis. About the .uvst
important thing brought out was that
butter seems to be fully dependent
upon bacteria for true flavor, rather
than the food, provided that the latter
is wholesome and not of a character
to mi art obnoxious favors to the
mix, Which after all could not be-
calied butter flavor in any sense of the
word

ROADSIDE FRUIT TREES.
An Instructive Letter from Hilary
s. Brunot, American Consul Mt
ST. Etienne, France.

The cultivation of fruit trees along
the highways of France is being extend
ed each year. The government having
first set the example, the communes in
certain departments adopted this prac-
tice as a source of revenue, so that now
roadside fruit cultivation has become
an important branch of national in
dustry.
1t is not, however, only in France that
fruit trees have been planted along the
roadside; in Germany, Belgium and the
duchy of Gutenberg the system has
been greatly developed, giving salts
faction to the state as well as to local
interests. On The routes of Wurtem-
berg, for instance, the fruit harvest
from this source produced in 1878 over
100000, and last year, the return had
more than trebled. The annual revenue
derived from the national roads of Sax
ony planted with fruit trees rose from
SO, 900 il 1880 to $4,000 in 1892, furnish
ing a total sum of $4,000 for the 10
years. In Belgium, according to the
statistics of 1894, over 4,630 kilometers
of roads were planted with 741 ST. fruit
trees, which furnished the almost in
credible sum of 100000. In France
the production of fruit trees is esti-
mated at S60,0o0,O00
In Westphalia, in the duchies of Ba-
den and SaXe-Weimar, in Alsace-Lor-
raine, Switzerland, ETC., the employees
of the administration of roads and
bridges and the road supervisors are
instructed in fruit arboriculture. In
some of the southern departments of
France the roads are bordered with
cherry trees, producing the small fruit
called merise wild cherry much APP
preciated for making wine sui generis,
preserves and even alcohol.
In the Tourain, plum trees dominate;
while in the Allier and the Limagne
the walnut trees transform the roads
into shady walks. In Auvergne the
chestnut tree fiourishes; while in Nor
mandy place is naturally given to the
apple tree.
Some 20, years ago the picturesque
roads of the northeast of France were
lined with stately poplars; but, al
though ornamental, their roots went
far and wide, rendering the adjacent
meadows sterile, and plows were con-
tinually stopped by offshoots lying al
most at the surface of the soil. The
farmers appealed in such strong terms
that the communes decided the fall of
the poplar, and soon axes and saws
were brought into requisition and the
roads cleared of these trees in favor of
the humble, but more useful, mirabelle
| (small PLUMP to the great satisfaction
of the villagers. Thousands of baskets
OF this fruit are shipped to Paris daily.
Some so years ago the distillation of
the mirabelle was unknown in the
country districts; the people plucked
it as food for their swine; but to-day
they have learned to make more profit
able use of it. They distill it in large
quantities and find ready market for
it. A quart of this alcohol slightly per-
fumed, sold five or six years ago for only
20 or 80 cents; to-day it brings not less
than so or 60 cents, while in Paris the
best kind cannot be obtained under one
dollar

ing. In places where the water runs
violently for a short distance the plan
shown in Fig. 2 is excellent, small stones
forming the bottom of the ditch. A
similar result is attained by using two
boards, as shown in Fig. 3. Such open
bitches about the farmhouse and the
farm buildings keep the soil dry and
save much unpleasant walking during
wet weather. There are many situations
subject to a sudden rush of water, where
ridges of earth or stones need to be put
across the open bitches at frequent in
tervals to check in part the swift flow
of the water that otherwise would wash
the earth seriously, ever when sodded
over.-N. Y. Tribune.
