The Smelling Cure.

Interesting experiments with the
0dors of herbs have from time to time
been made, and it has been found that
many species of microbes are easily
destroyed by various smells. The odor
of cloves has been known TO destroy
microbes in 80 minutes Cinnamon will
kill some species in 12minutes; thyme
in 80. In As minutes common wild
verbena is found effective while the
Odor of mint has destroyed various
forms of microbes in So minutes. and
it is recorded as the most effective of
all odors as an antiseptic 1t is now
believed that herbs which have been
found in Egyptian mummies We're
placed on the bodies more for their
antiseptic properties than as mere or
naments or objects of sentiment.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Waste Paper Basket-Ex-
Qufsite Napery.

1t is surprising that such useful ar
ticle as the spool and thread holder
here described has not already become
a household possession. The idea is
simply to have the six grades of cotton
thread used so much by the women
folks always handy by arranging them
in closed box so that only the ends of
the thread protrude from little holes
ready to be drawn for USE as from a
Irvine holder.
If small wooden box cannot be
found of the proper size, construct one
of rather thin wood inches long, 4
wide and ~ deep. Attach the cover
on with any kind of small hinges and
have a small hook by which to keep
the box closed after the spools are in
place.
From any small round sticks of wood
the shape of lead pencil cut six
pieces, each IL inches in length. These
are to be fastened to the bottom of the
box inside and on which the spools will
turn Glue them in place and make
them perfectly secure by driving small
brads into them from the bottom of the
box.
On the outside Ct the box, opposite
each spool, bore.a fine hole, half way
from the bottom on both the front and
back of the box With the spools in
place, unwind and pass each end of
thread through the small hole opposite.
The box may be decorated deliberately
or simply vanished, but in either case
paste the labels from the spools around
each of the thread holes on the out
side, so that the size will be indicated
30, 30, etc. On the inside of the Gov
er little pockets made of fancy goods
may be attached in which to place
packages of needles.

For the Farmer.
Observation-Disclosures

Many people have the idea that if
colt is not handled as yearling or 2
year-old it cannot be properly educated
at all, says correspondent of The Ma
tional Stockman. This is true of few
colts, but from my experience ! find 1t
unwise to attempt to educate colt,
except to the halter before he is ready
for use-not younger than 3 or
years old. At this age there is not thx
danger of spraining some joint and
blemishing him for life, as his limbs
are strong and his muscles set. The
first place to hitch horse is to
heavy wagon with a steady, unexcit-
able horse. Have him well strapped,
one fastened to a rein, which is drawn
between his names and then attached
to the wagon. Another is tied to the
hame Of the other horse and a third
fastened to the outside of his bit,
which is to be held in your hand In
this way, no matter how strong the
colt, you can handle him with saftey
and ease. After a few lessons of this
kind, if he is draft bred, put him at
some light work. If a driver, hitch
him to the break cart and let a boy
ride the other horse by his side few
times until he gets acquainted with the
work. You will be surprised to find
that colt will succumb to the will of
man easier at this age than younger,
and you will no longer hear of valuable
young horses being ruined at an early

All kinds of roots are much better
if given plenty of room in which to
grow, says The American Cultivator
Probably no root suffers more from
crowding than the carrot for the rea-
son that when it terminates the leaves
are so small that it is hard to tell
whether cluster of leaves represents
one, two or three plants. 1t is great
loss every way to allow the roots to
crowd each other in growing. The bulk
of two or three roots growing to-
gether is not nearly so great as one
good sized carrot. The shorthorn car
rots, which grow partly out of ground,
can be seen much better than those
whose roots are entirely below the sur
face. And perhaps because the short
horn carrot grows partly above ground
1t is not injured so much by growing
in a clump. 1t is also more nutritious
than the deep rooted carrots, but it
needs to be gathered before the soil
freezes very deeply, else the root will
not keep well. Parsnips can be allowed
to stand in the ground all winter.

Better Mutton.

The increased demand for mutton
and lamb is largely due to the improv-
ed quality of the sheep sent us from
the west and from Canada, and their
improvement is partly due to the use
of the mutton breeds for grading up
the fiocks which were not sold when
free wool scared so many out of the
sheep business; but not entirely to
that. AT that time many fiocks were
not all sold. but they We're culled close
ly The understood ewes and those
which had not raised good lambs We're
sold or slaughtered and few of the
better ones kept These were just
what were needed to mate up with the
pure bred rams, and now. after few
years, we have a class of high grades
better than ever stood in the country
before.

city, arriving here Saturday evening
Company d had charge of the funeral
services. assisted by Rev. T. E. Dickev,
who read the burial service of the Epis-
copal church. The funeral was attend

the largest seen at this place for many
years Following the band was Cap

disease with which he was taken sick

once more seeing a loving mother and
father. relatives and friends left at

grave of the young soldier, when the
firing squad lined up and gave three
salutes as the last service which they
could perform in respect to their dead
comrade, was a most heart-rending one
and will not soon be forgotten by those
who witnessed il.
Lucius Fay kohls. at the time of his
death, was in his 18th year. He was
the eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
&ohls. who have resided at this place
for many years. He was born in this
city and has always lived with his par
ents here until he enlisted with Com
pany d last year on the 9Th day of
May, and left with the Montana volun-
teers for the Philippines. and on the
battlefield he proved to be a most pro-
tlcient soldier and acquitted himself in
the most commendable manner.
