Whether early or late runners on
strawberry plants are to be used for
the succeeding crop is question
worthy of consideration. +. A. Riehl
says that the early runners should be
allowed to grow, and then there will
be few if any late ones to cut Off Some
varieties of strawberries have the habit
Of bearing the next years crop only
on the early runners, and if these early

Testing the Lungs.

To ascertain the state of the lungs
person should draw in asmuch breath
as can be done conveniently. Then
count as long aG possible in a slow and
audible voice without drawing in more
breath. Note carefully the number of
seconds. In consumptives the time
does not exceed ten, and frequently is
less than six seconds In pneumonia
and pleurisy it ranges from four to
nine seconds. If the lungs are sound
the time will range from 20 to IS sec
onds. To expand the lungs, go into the
outer air, stand erect, throw the head
and shoulders back and draw the air
through the nostrils as much as posi-
BILE. Having filed the lungs: raise the
arms, still extended, and suck in the
air. When you have thus forced the
arms backward, with the chest open,
change the process by which you draw
in your breath until the lungs are
emptied. By this process several times
a day the chest will be ENLARGED, the
lungs will have better play and con-
sumption may be warded off.-Cleye-
land Plain Dealer.

MIXING INSECTICIDES.
A Cheap Substitute for Paris Green
Recommended by the Ohio
Experiment station.

Objections to Paris Green.-Parit
green is a good insecticide, but il
somewhat troublesome to use in liquiC
form as it does not dissolve readily
and needs constant agitation to keeI
it from settling, If allowed to settle
at all the distribution is not uniform
and injury is likely to result to the
foliage of some plants, while the in
sects on other plants escape. More
over, it is unduly expensive, whether
used dry or in the form of a spray

Merits of the Combination Mixture.
This combination has been fully test
ed at the Ohio experiment station and
found to be quite as effective as the
Paris green and Bordeaux mixture
combination, and for the reasonSgiven
above is much to be preferred. This
arsenic and soda solution, or arsenite
of soda is more safely used in combi-
nation with Bordeaux mixture than
alone, as when in combination it will
not injure the foliage. but alone it is
liable to burn the leaves. The same
objection holds good, however, with
reference to Paris green and London
purple. 1t is better, however, in al
most every case, to use the combina-
ton mixture as fungi are nearly all
ways present and unless they are kept
in check there is but little use for fight
ing insects.-BulIetin Ohio Experiment

For the past two years | have used n

seven inches in diameter, connected
with a reach on either side, so that one
wheel follows in the track of the other,
Between the wheels is an upright tin
tube about three feet long. she top

and one-fourth inches, At its lower

This may not altogether prevent a
glut in the market, but it at least gives
the currant grower more time in which
to market his fruit The only draw
back to currant growing is the currant
worm, but this is so easily killed by
timely applications of hellebore pow
der that it is really an advantage to the
grower who uses it in time, as it de-
stroys the currants of so many others
who would otherwise be his competi-
tors, There is nothing usually to be
made in what everybody can produce

wings follow the tube to cover the seed,
At opposite points in one side Of the
front wheel are two pins, Atevery hall
revolution of the wheel one of these
pins strikes the end of a spring and
presses ii forward, and then releases
it. The spring makes swapping noise
to show when seed must be dropped,
As the seeder is pushed slowly along,
a boy stands erect and drops the seed
into the large end of the tube. There
is steady, distinct stick, tick, tick, y
that tells how fast to drop the seed,
II takes two to run the seeder, but ii
both drops and covers Any small boy
can do the dropping; and it matters
not If the wind blows; the seed goes
into exactly the right place. With a
seven-inch wheel and two pins insert.
ed, the seeds are dropped about II
inches apart, With three pins the dis
lance would be a fraction over seven
inches. The two wheels may be of diff.
ferent size, and both of them be pro.
vided with places for one, two or three
pins, and then variety of distances
may be at the users disposal. In max.

IMPROVED HIGHWAYS.
A Reform That should lie AgitHted
In Every County In Every
state of the Union.

Here is a subject for the farmers to
agitate in their clubs and institutes
during the winter, There is no class
that has so deep an interest in good
roads as the farmers, says Farmers
Tribune. Over the common roads he
has to haul his produce to the nearest
market, and he and his family have to
attend church and do their trading and
seek their ADJUSTMENTS in the towns
and cities This is very pleasant when
the roads are dry and smooth. But
when wet weather sets in and the com
mon roads become beds of mire, or
when they freeze up and become like
stones dumped edgeways, pleasure rid
ing is out of the question. Now, the
query is, how can we secure better
roads? First, we must secure perfect
drainage This is obtained by the use
CT the improved road graderthatrounds
up the center of the road and fills all
holes and secures a smooth surface.
This grader should not be left on the
roadside to rust till the convenience of
the roadmaster can find leisure to use
1t, Immediately after rain, as soon
as the mud will crumble, the road
grader should be out and kept at work
till the roads are in good order. Now
this constant work on the roads can
be very much relieved by covering the
surface of the road with broken stone
(macadam) or gravel. Gravel is the
best for the following reasons: 1t is
more abundant and combines with the
roadbed and for this reason is better
