Worn Files and scran Iron.

Save your cross-cut files, the three
Acornered ones, after You have worn
them ont. Old cross-cut files make
excellent rake teeth for garden rake.
It takes only eight of them to fill the
rake head, setting them in two inches
apart, which is good distance to
have them. They will serve you
loager, and almost as efficiently, this
way, as at first. And, in fact, all
rods, bolts, plow points, and scsap
iron of every sort should be saved and
laid away in convenient place for
them, ready for use, when anything of
the sort is wanted about the farm.
Almost everything may be utilized in
some way.
Old horseshoes make good hooks for
hitching posts, and wornout ak stuck
into a block of wood serves we'll for
miniature anvil whereon to clinch
nails, rixets and such like work. An
other az, fastened securely, edge mp,
is convenisntfor clipping wire, nails,
old hoops, etc. Besides, since the
sIase rise in iron goods, old scrap iron
is IN demand, and can be sold to ad-
vantage. Gather up the scrap iron
about the farm and lay it away. You
viii see chances to utilize it sooner or

A Dry Summer.

This past season has shown to many
farmers who scarcely need to have
waited until now to learn the lesson.
The importance of making preparation
each year for season when the grass
in the pasture will be short, COWS
shrink in their milk, calves and young
stock grow smaller, and in both ways
. loss will be occasioned that cannot
be made up by good feeding after
ward. When the price of milk and
butter was the highest they had the
least to sell. Those who had ensilage
in the silo or green fodder to cut ard
iced out were fattening their pocket
books, while the man whose fore
thought did not come until afterward
was growing poorer. 1t is as neces-
sary for the farmer to prepare for a
dry, hot summer as for cold winter,
sor both are sure to come every year,
even though they sometimes are lit
lie delayed beyond the scheduled time.

Growing Winter Cucumbers.

Sow the seed for raising the plants
in some warm place, and as soon as
they are well up, transplant into s.
inch flower pots, bury the pots in the
soil of the greenhouse up to the rim
and keep we'll watered with water not
too cold. 1t takes about five or six
weeks to raise good plants from seed.
After the house had been prepared and
properly warmed up, we set the plants
over q trench Is inches deep, nearly
filed with fresh horse manure, 3 IL
feet apart, one in pot or hill. This
was about April l. In the fall and
winter, when they make less vine, two
plants to the hill is better, and at this
time they may be set only 3 feet apart
Now, having strung out our plants,
we run high temperature, 100 de-
grees midday heat will not harm them
for the first two or three days, reduc-
ing the temperature to go degrees or
so at night. After they sre well
started, midday temperature of 80

Look to the Colts.

The farmer who will closely Watch
his colts at this season of the year and
see that all their wants are satisfied
will make money by it. Water should
be supplied several times day and
always before feeding. By frequent
watering they will not drink so much
cold water at time. which is some
times attended with serious results.
See that they have variety of food
and at regular. hours, for they know
when meal time comes as we'll as peo.
ple do. Oats and wheat bran and
good clover hay make the best feed
for young stock, as they supply mus
Gle and bone growing material.
See that they are not exposed to
rainstorms-but that in dry weather
they have run in the paddocks and
fields. Have warm beds for them to
lie upon when they sleep-for they
need refreshing sleep like all animals.
Keep them growing. Not day should
pass without some growth, or what
has been fed to them has been wasted.
Te get value out of the feed one must
get weight, growth, size, and if colts
are well fed and treated every days
feed will increase their value.-Rocky

Peculiarly of Snakes.

A snake tanner who had trained
serpent to follow him around The
house and even out of doors, hap
pened one day to take it with him to
a strange place. The snake, unused to
the locality, suddenly seemed to for
get all his training, and, escaping into
the bushes, resisted capture with bites
and every indication of wildness.
When canght it at once resumed its
tame habits. This tendency to become
wild imm ediatsly upon obtaining their
freedom, and to again become tame
when caught, is said to be peculiar
ity of snakes.-New York Tribune.

A House. Orchid.

One of the most popular orchids
grown for cut-hower purposes is Cy-
pripedium insigne; and it is also val
uable as house plant, though pos
sibly seldom so grown. Its spikes Of
solitary flowers on stiff stems make it
the most convenient orchid to have
about house; and the lasting quality
of the fiowers-from four to six weeks
sach-makes the plant equal to many
that produce more flowers, but indi"-
idually last but short time. The
quaint 'aadies slipper" flowers open
brownish yellow in color, turning
quite yellow with age. When grow
ing and blooming, an abundance OF
water is welcomed, provided the drain
age be perfect. They are usually
grown in pots, packed with moss or,
peat. During the summer, they may
be kept barely moist and partly
shaded. .-Meehan's Monthly.

Iian.;ng Pot OF Mafdenhafr.


Procure An unglazed pottery carafe
or water-l lottle, place little earth
carefully around it, and stick in close
together many roots of the maiden
hair fern, aud cover with wire net
tiny; this is to keep the earth and
ferns in their place. The netting
must be coarse enough to allow the
ferns to grow through the mesl@s,
and must not be put on too tightly.
Now iasten around the top of the
carafe some fiuo wire to hang it up by;
when hanging up nearly ill the carafe
with water, and always keep it so; for
the vessel. being porous, allows the
moisture to dampen the roots and
keep them alive. If properly attend.
ed to, the carafe will soon be nothing
but a ball of maidenhair fern, and very
beautiful. - Harper's Bazar.

WONDERFUL "BlOW ECLG"
Australia Has Natural Phenomenon Which
Is Uniouc.

What>is known as. the great biow
hole" has recently attracted much at
tention among tourists. 1t is SlnSu-
lar rock formation CT the Austrailan
coast. says the Philadelphia Record.
This promises to become one or the
most famous as we'll rs one OF the
most pleasant resorts in New South
Wales; it is situated on the coast some
seventy miles south Of Sydney.
The centre of this district is kiama'
which is described as picturesque
and thriving town surrounded by
rich agricultural country. and which
has been built upon IN igneous flow OF
basalt that has solidifed and crystal
lized into huge columns Of what IS
popularly called blue stone" This
formation is seen to perfection on the
west coast of Scotland and north OF
Ireland at Fingal's Cave and other
places and those who are acquainted
with the rugged appearance OF the
coast in these places can form good
idea of the appearance of the New
South Wales coast at this point.
The famous blow hole" here stu
ated in the middle of rocky headland
running out into the sea forms truly
wondrous sight With each successive
breaker the ocean spray is sent shoot
ing up into the air sometimes as high
rs 800 feet to 400 feet descending in
a drenching shower and accompanied
BY a rumbllng noise as Of distant
thunder, which can be heard for many
miles around.
This elbow hole" IS singular nat
ural phenomenon and consists OF per-
pendicular hole nearly circular, with q
diameter of about ten yards across,
and has the appearance of being the
crater of an extinct volcano. This IS
connected with the ocean by cave
about 1000 yards in length, the sea-
ward opening of which IS in all re-
spects similar to Fingars Cave in the
north of Ireland, the same perpendlcu-
lar basaltic columns forming the side
walls of each. Into this cave towering
waves rush during stormy weather,
and rs the cave extends some distance
further into the rock than the BLOW
Hole" on the entrance Of each wave
this cavity becomes full of compressed
air, which, when the tension becomes
too great. blows the water with STU
penuous force up to the perpendicular.

To Wash Ernshes and Combs.


To wash brushes dip in hot water
into which a small lump of soda has
been melted. Move the brush up aud
down until the b:istles are quite clean,
but be careful not to let tue wood
come in contact with the water, as the
soda will remove the polish. Hold
under tho cold water faucet, then
shake as free from moisture as possi-
bile, and stand in an upright position
to dry. It is best to dry in the open
air, but not in the sun. TO clean a
comb dip a nail brush in hot soda
water, soap it, and scrub the comb
thoroughly. Rinse in cold water, and
dry with soft towel.

THE Willy FILIPINO.
Hov fie Makes Smokeless Powder Oat OF
japanese Matches

japanese mAseneS
An ingenious way OF getting
smokeless powder out Of the heads OF
Japanese matches has been disclosed
in the Pilippine Islands. A report re-
ceived at the War Department, Wash
ington, from Panay, Visayan Islands,
says:
The robber bands which are low
devastating are badly armed and are
arrant towards, but cruel and take no
prisoners. An illustration was given
short time ago In the fate OF three
soldiers, who, having made them
selves stupid.y drunk on tuba, the dis
titled sap Of the cocoanut trees, were
left behind by the command. Their
throats were promptly cut by the bolo-
men.
"a patrol party Of ten Of twelve men
sent after the stragglers, we learned
afterwards from native sources, ran
into an ambuscade Of some two hun
dred insurgents, who did not even dare
to attack, for they said the country
was open and they would be hurt
Eight or ten Americans can go any
where but a man alone Is In greater
danger of being shot from ambush.
The natives of the Visayas have not
many guns, but a greater need of am
munition. A curious trick has been
discovered, which shows their rascally
ingenuity. For long time we heard
of quantities of Japanes matches COM
ing into Iloilo, and nobody could guess
why so many millions should be re-
ceiyed., Finally it was suggested that
the heads of these matches made q
good explosive.
Experiments were made here, and
we found, by rubbing the compound
from the stick, that q practically
smokeless explosive was obtained, OF
higher power than black powder, CIV
ing a velocity so great that the lead
bullet stripped but even entering side
ways penetrated about five inches for
ther into sand than was the case with
black powder, the bullet entering point
on.
LAS the rascally insurgents slip out
of what Uniform they wear, hide their
guns and bolos, and come in dressed IN
the usual white skirt and trousers as
amigos, smiling and friendly, they
could easily obtain all the matches
they required for the next attack"

Poultry Notes.

Exterminate the rats before the
young chicks are out
A tablespoonful of salt should be
added to the morning mash for laying
hens.
Do not put over 10 or II eggs under
sitting hen at this season OF the
year.
Those hens intended for this sea-
sons breeders should be separated
from the flock and confined in yards
where special care may be given.
. Do not cross pure-brel poultry.
There is nothing to be gained, as 9
breed can be found in its purity that
will fill any one requirement and mono
will fill every one.

degrees is sufficient. Water freely

and now watch closely for lice.
As soon as the plants begin to run,
We put up trellises, using. galvanized
wire fastened to the supports with
small staples; placing the wires or
10 inches apart from near the ground
to near the top of the house. We tie
them to the lower wire loosely. so as
not to girdle and kill the vines, using
the same material as in punching
vegetables. They should be kept tied
up as fast as the shoots get big enough.
Pruning should be carefully attended
to. When the sun runs high and hot
it is easy to scorch the ends of vines.

= Benefits of the Dairy to the Soil.

Professor W. C. Latta of Purdue
experiment station, read paper at an
Indiana dairymen's meeting in which
he said that the persistent growing
and selling of hay and grain without
making returns to the soil must sooner
or later result in failures. It is nee
essarY to concentrate the products
that lesve the farm. Butter, cheese,
cream and milk are among the most
highly concentrated products that
leave the farm. A ton of butter, rep
resenting many tons of hay, takes
from the farm only one-tenth the fer
tility that one ton of hay does. Com
pairing the losses in soil fertility on q
iG0-acre dairy farm as against the
losses where the entire crops are re-
moved, we have the following result:
Assuming that 100-acre farm, sub.
iected to fve-year rotation, viz: 20
acres of corn, oats and wheat, and 40
acres of hay and pasture, would raise
1000 bushels of corn, 40 tons of stalks,
500 bushels of oats, 500 bushels of
wheat. 20 tons of straw, and that the
meadows and pasture would yield two
tons of hay or its equivalent in grass
per acre,a little calculating shows that
the total amount of feed grown and the
amount of milk and butter that could
be produced from these foods is about
as follows: Total food stuffs, 200 tons;
total milk, 164 IA tons; total butter,
IS I-2 tons. Fertilizing ingredients:
Food stuff, 5sO4 pounds nitrogen,
5s77 pounds potash, 2114 pounds
phosphoric acid; milk, 1s4 pounds nj
trogen, 81 pounds potash, IS pounds
phosphoric acid; butter, Is 1-2 pounds
nitrogen. Cash value of fertilizing in
gradients: Food stufs, Si429. "a;
milk, S37a. 26; butter, 1924. These
figures are believed to be approximate
" correct, and they speak volumes.
