can make the device for him at little
cost. For cutting blades use two
pieces OF steel little heavier than oil
barrel hoops, each eight inches long
and one and one-half inches thick.
Take a one-half-inch iron rod about
three feet long, bend one end into form
of spade handle, and split the other
end about two and one-half inches.
Draw one edge of each of the blades
sharp, and curve the blades slightly.
Lay them together, convex sides touch
ing in center and points bent out: in
sert in slit in handle and weld in place.
Now heat and bend the blades at right
angles, as shown in =, and the device
is ready for use. Though many mix
lures, such as mentioned for poultry
feed, may be chopped up in an ordinary
wooden pail with stout bottom. it will
pay to make box about one and one
half feet square with two-inch plank
bottom, and keep for this purpose and
for cutting roots.-J. 6. Allshouse, in

cuttinr Weeds After Rains.

When cutting weeds, especially aftey
a very wet time, care should be taken
not to cut off the tops, but to uproot
them with as little destruction Of
leaves possible. When the roots are
shaken so as to loosen all the moist
earth attached to them they will
wither very fast, especially if the top
is left attached to them. The top be-
gins to dry, then it calls on the root
for more moisture, and both root and
top dry up together. 1t is the practice
of the best gardeners to shorten in
the tops of valuable plants when they
are setting them out. To prepare a
weed the same way is to make il almost
certain to grow vigorously.--American
Cultivat0r.

Honey Plants on the Farm.

On many farms on which bees are
not kept, there is splendid supply
of honey plants. Among these are al
falfa, slsike, apples, asparagus, bean,
blackberry, boneset, box elder, back
thorn. buclwheat, burdock, catalpa,
catnip, cherry, red and white clover,
crimson clover, corn, currant, dande-
lion, golden rod, gooseberry, grape,
honey locust, melon, milk wheat,
mustard and many others, some of
which are not used for any purpose,
and why not let the honey bee get
value out of them. There is a choice
in these, of course. and some of them
are not of high order as honey plants,
but they are given to show that it
would indeed be a barren farm on
which a bee could not make honey

Musical Evolution Among Birds.

Before the Biological society in
Washington recently Mr.. II. w. Odds
presented the results of his studies
of bird music. Wonderful as ii seems,
he said, it is fact that some of the
birds use the human musical scale.
He showed by examples how the
songs of certain birds are unmistak-
ably governed by the intervals that
compose our scale. Sometimes bird
musicians, like their human com
peers wander from the key. He
thought that there was no escape
from the conclusion that birds are
subject to musical evolution which
parallels our own.-Youth's Com

HAVE YOU GOT ONE OF THEM.
Dollar Bills Being Inspected
.M For Series B,
WITH NUMBER q ON THE BACK
Just Above the Letter "M" in
America.
If Any Premium is Really Allowed on the
Bills, 1t is Supposed That It is Granted by
Collectors, Rather Than by the Oficials
of the Treasury Department.

Many persons having dollar bills
in their possession are examining them
carefully to see il they agree with the
description printed in this paper of .
silver certificate which the government
is calling in. This is series B on
bill No. 81, the 81 being found In the
wreath on the back of the note, just
above the letter "m" in America. The
note is being called in because the
government has learped OF the exist
ence of counterfeits Of it. The item
stated that there is premium of $40
on the note, but who is to pay the $40
has not been learned. s
In cne Of the banks, careful sesrch
was made through the dollar bills for
those matching the one In question.
The second bill examined matched 1t,
and was the only one that did. Two
children visited The Gazette Office
and said that Herman Vogel found one
Of the bills and they were apparently,
looking for the $40 premium; they
were referred to az broker. A man who
came to the office with dollar bill Of
series B, had pointed out to him
that 1t lacked the figure 81, on the
back. X
1t is supposed that II any premium
is really allowed on the bills, it is
granted by collectors, rather than by
the Treasury Department.

The Board of Assessment, Revision
and Appeals concluded its work for this
year Monday night. Its work consisted
chiefly in hearing and acting upon
appeals of the large corporations whose
properties had been assessed for equip,f
ment as we'll as buildings. Some OF the
corporations asked that tho assessment
be stricken from the lists on the ground
that ii was illegal, but this request was
not granted. The board did make some
reductions, however. The assessment
on the beds of steam railroads was re-,
duced from s32, 900 to $40, 600 per mile,
and that on trolley roads from SIG, 000
to $4,000 per mile. Some reduction
was also made on the equipment Of
electric, telegraph and telephone COM
panies, but the reductions have not yet
been tabulated.
Owing to the refusal of the board to
strike these additional assessments from
the lists, it is likely that the companies
