one guinea, For attempting to draw
out the stump of tooth, one guinea
For telling him that he was no more

Gardens as n Part of the Farm.

No farm is complete without kitch-
en- garden. 1t is very late, but not
too late, to have good garden. Let
the ground get dry; then break thor.
oughly. Use all the manure your
conscience will let you; spread it
broadcast; mix it thoroughly with the
soil. Throw up very light beds-iust
enough to keep the rainwater from
settling around the little plants.
Plant your seeds, if convenient, just
before night; cover lightly with hand
rake. Small seed should be planted
near the surface. Then be sure to
press the soil tightly around the seed.
You can do this with a plank. Lay
the plank along on the seed row and
walk upon it, or roll the beds with an
empty barrel. This is easily done and
does good work.
If your soil bakes, loosen it up with
Mandrake each side of seed row. No
work in the garden pays better than
this rolling and raking. The rolling
will nearly always secure a good
stand. All gardeners know how i'm
portant this is. The raking kills weeds
of grass in the sprout as soon as up,
and makes the soil warmer, which is
very important to the health of young
plants.
Turnips, kale, cabbage, collards,
spinach and other salad crops should
be sown in abundance. They are good
for the table, the pantry, the pigs
and the cows. Beets, beans, onions,
cucumbers, satisfy, cantelopes,
squashes, peas, and others, accord
ing to taste, can soon furnish variety
and plenty. Look after the garden.
A good garden, good COW, few
pigs and hens will almost support any
ordinary family.-Southern Cultiva.

Buffalo Commercials: In old New
England farmhouses, in addition to the
regular front entrance, 1t was the Gus
tom to have second outside door
opening directly into the front parlor.
A knock on this door usually meant
that a bashful young man was outside,
who wanted to call on the daughter of
the family. Now that there are no
more bashful young men, sofa or a
chair is usually rolled against the beau
door, and callers run the gauntlet of
the family entrance

Potato scab is spread in number
of ways. Scabby seed and ground on
which scabby potatoes have been
grown, will grow scabby crop.
Manure from stables wheJe stock has
been fed on infested potatoes, will
spread the disease, for the passage of
fungi through the animal system never
destroys the germs. Surface water
flowing from an infested field will
carry the disease to lower land.
Plows and cultivators, unless they are
thoroughly cleaned, will disseminate
the disease, if they have been used in
the cultivation of diseased crop.
Seed treated with corrosive subli.
mate can be planted with safety. The
seeds soaked for one and half hours
in solution OF two and one-fourth
ounces of corrosive sublimate to fif-
teen gallons of water. The potatoes
should be cleaned before being i'm
mersed. At the expiration of the
time stated, take the potatoes out Of
the solution and spread out to dry.
The potatoes may be cut before OF af-
ter the soaking. A good plan of max
ing the solution and soaking the pota-
toes is to dissolve the sublimate in two
gallons of hot water and pour it into
an open head barrel. Add thirteen
gallons of water. Now put the pota-
toes in coffee sack and immerse for
the time stated. Stir the solution
from time to time.
But no treatment of the seed will
prevent the crop from scabbing if the
ground is full of scab. The only way
to rid the ground of the fungi is by
putting it to growing a rotation of
crops, such as grass, corn and wheat.
No root crops should be grown on
such soil. When potatoes are scabbed
the disease will grow worse all the
time that they are in the ground.
Hence, dig just as soon as they are
mature, and store in a dry place.

On the outlying spurs of the Sierra

bird alights on the trees the branches
curl upward and silently encircle the

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only In order to get its beneficial

The success which up to the pres.
ent time has attended inventors
efforts to render easier and cheaper
the manufacture of steel has led to
many and most important departures
in mechanical construction. Thus
the bringing into use of the heavy
steel rail has done much to augment
the consumption of steel, the fact
being that heavier tracks have become
a necessity, and the wooden bridges
which have been in use so long in
various parts of the country are giving
way to steel bridges. 1t appears from
statements bearing on this point that
well-nigh 100000 tons of the metal
were used during the past year in re-
placing lighter wooden bridges.
Lately, too, piping and tubing of all
kinds have been made of steel, until
it is estimated that a quantity equal
to something like seventy-fve per
cent. of the entire production of the
country is of steel.

In several of the Western States
the ranchmen and farmers are making
use of the wire fences as conductors
for telephone circuits. 1t has been
found that the fence wires worked
perfectly for this purpose, and local
companies have been formed in several
counties of Kansas to further the
idea. Many of the ranches are con-
siderable distance from railroad and
telegraph facilities, so that ranch
owners have eagerly availed them
selves of this method of communica-
tion with the towns and stations.
