We think there is no better time to
set apple or pear trees. grapevines and
the bush fruits than in the fall if the
work is properly done We would cut
back the tops considerably. that they
may not dry out, and set them in good
soil but using no manure around them
and making the earth a little higher
near the plants than away from them,
so that no water will stand around
them, and we should expect to find
them all alive and growing the next
spring, ready to make new wood that
season and to prepare for fruit crop
or fruit buds in the fall If they were
old enough. We should not care how
late In the fall the work was done;
In fact. think the later the better. as
we want no new growth to start that
season This holds equally true with
almost anything excepting the stone
fruits, as peaches and plums. We
have been told that they would not
thrive under such treatment, but we
should not be afraid to chance it II
we had occasion to try it, remarks
American Cultivator.

many of the young have scattered over
the entire potato top. and then some es-
cape. go into the ground and lay the
foundation for another brood. The
grower of 20 acres of potatoes can Kill
the young us effectively as the grower
of garden patch. The secret Is to ap-
ply the arsente with some sticky dilu-
ent to the bud of each plant before any
of the young leave the bud The mix
ture should be strong. 1t remains
where the young come within a day
after Matching. and 1t kills as fast as
they appear In the bud.
When grain is not plump, as was the
case throughout much Of the great ONO
valley this year. there is n distinct gain
from sweating II in NOV or stack be-
fore thrashing. There is an old BELIEF
among farmers that the grain becomes
more plump in the NOW | should not
like to assert that this is correct, yet
we do know that the sweating bright
ems the grain and makes 1t more at
tractive Shriveled grains are often
bleached. and after six weeks In the
NOV they come out much brighter.
The Improvement In appearance helps
to sell the crop to local mills that do
not use the tester and even with the
tester 1t may grade better on account
of the perfectly dry condition. The
moisture In grain thrashed early from
the shock causes it to test lower than
1t would when perfectly dry.
When timothy is seeded with the
wheat. | believe that 1t Is best to let
the seed fall behind the drill hoes IN
stead of In front of them. Many farm
ers turn the timothy seed sprouts for
ward. so that the drill hoes may cover
the seed. and in this way better stand
of plants may be got in dry fall. but
too many of the plants come on the
ridges between the little drills and per
ish later on. The safe place for the
timothy plant is In the furrow with
the wheat plant. as it is thea protected
by the ridge on each side. says Farm
and Fireside writer, from whose items
of farm theory and practice the fore
going are CLEANED.

Are known to all the world.


They are both picturesque and
useful, but useful as they are, they
could not compete with Chase &
Sanborn's Coffee Mill. If they were
obliged to depend on wind mills,
many of their customers would be
kept on short allowance, for they
turn out. between forty and fifty
thousand pounds Of coffee a day, a
feat which IS quite beyond wind
mill power.
Stop and think what this enor-
nous amount of coffee means, es-
pecially if you remember howfamous-
ly high grade it is.
Every bean is selected and even
the plantations on which it is raised
are famous for the perfection of their
products.
Your grocer will deliver Chase &
Sanborn's Seal Brand Java and
Mocha in one and two-pound tin
cans or any of the other high
grade coffees in parchment lined i'm
ported bags = and you can be sure
there is none better.

Cost of Oats

Oats are a very profitable crop and
with proper management can be raised
for much less than the market price as my
books show. Wheat has paid better than
oats and | have raised but few. But
enough to show that they can be raised
for much less than the usual selling price.
My figures for oats are as follows
Average yield per acre for eight years,
Sc 2-3 bushels; average cost per acre,
5000; average cost er bushel, FL cents
highest cost per bushel, 81 Ia cents
lowest cost per bushel, II cents; highest
yield per acre, 80 bushels; lowest yielo
per acre, 81 bushels.
The value OF oat straw should not be
overlooked When cut before the grain
is too ripe, secured in good condition, il
is worth more than much of the hay We
feed to stock. No crop which is grown
on the farm is grown at SO small expense
per acre as oats. No acre raised by me
for the last ten years has failed to pay a
fair profit. And some acres have paic
400 per cent.

Paper Teeth.

Paper teeth are the latest thing in den
tislry. For years some substance has
been sought for which could repla the
making teeth. and a fortune awaited the
man who was lucky enough to hit upon
the right materi | Although paper has
some disadvantages, they are small COM
pared TO its many qualifications, and pa
per teeth are likely to be used exclusive
ly al least until a more perfect material
is found, remarks contemporary.
Up to this time china has been used a.
most entirely. but it presents so many
disadvantages that ntists always have
been on the lookout for some othtr sub
stance which could replace it. Not only
does china not resist the action of saliva
and turns black, but china affects tn
nerves of the jaws. People who weaT
false teeth often complain of sub-orbita.
neui algia, and this is put down by minh
dtntisls as being caused by the heat OF
cold acting on the china or porcelain.
Porcelain or mineral composition also is
liable to chip or break, and Tor those rea-
sons are never satisfactory.
The paper teeth are made OF papiei
mache, which is submitted to a tremen.
dous pressure unit they are as hard a.
required. Their peculiar composition rem
ders them cheap, and the price of sc
of teeth will go down considerably owing
to the new invention. The color OF the
papier mache can also be made to vary
which is an important point, as no tive
sets Of teeth are identical in color, somr
teeth having a strong yeIlowish cast, while
others are blush white. 10 order, there
fore, to obtain the right tint the coloring
matter has only to be introduced into III
mixture before the tooth is cast in order
to match the other teeth exactly. 1t is in
this particular that china teeth often ia

from the other teeth in the mouth and

Nuts as Food.

While the use of nuts in this country
has already attained considerable propor-
tons it is believed that careful study OF
their food qualities would lead to their
largely increased consumption. In view
OF their high nu,ritive value and the re di-
ness and cheapness with which they may
be produced, it is matter of some as
constituent that they have received so
little consideration as food and that SO
little attention has been devoted to their
culture. This neglect is explained in part
by the abundance and cheapness of cereal
products. which supply our wants SO fully
that we have not been forced to seek
foods from unusual and less reliable
sources. Although, within certain limits,
grain production varies from year to year,
we have few more certain crops. On The
other hand, the production of nuts, like
that of the apple and tree fruits in general,
is subject TO greater fluctuations which are
far less under the immediate control oil
man.

A Ton of Hay.

The cost of ton of hay is the cost OF
cutting, cost of barn rent for storage in
terest and taxes on value of land on which
it is grown and the value of the plant food
taken from the soil or the cost of manure
applied to replace the plant food taken by
the crop. Some soils will yield good
crops Of grass without any returns to soil
for long time. But We must not forget
this soil is growing poorer and the time
will &C me when it will have no more to
give. In 1884 the cost of ton of hay
was thoroughly discussed by the board OF
agriculture and the average cost as given
by four of the best farmers of the state
was $II 40, made up as follows: Cost of
harvesting. $2.oo; cost of storage, 81 90 ;
interest and taxes 5 90; plant food taken
from the soil, 81 40; total, $II 40.
This is perhaps as near as we shall ever
DE able to get at the cost of ton of hay.

THEORY AND PRACTICE

An Unnecessary EVIL Sweating
Grain-SovinE Timothy.
There has been much complaint this
fail Of an "invasion" of the Colorado
potato beetle. The bugs" have strip
ped the tomato vines in the gardens
when no vines remained for them.
They belong to the second or third
brood. and | am quite sure that any
such brood in size that is really narm-
full to crops is wholly unnecessary
and is possible only because many
farmers are careless. in their method
OF lighting the first brood The beetles
that appear in the spring deposit their
eggs in May ana June. The young,
after n few weeks of feeding, go into
the ground and in about ten days
emerge as beetles, ready to begin the
work of producing another brood
If the first brood is fought effective
ly, there is no later brood to damage
crops In August and September. The
beetles that come out of the ground in
midsummer do not scatter much to
other fields, but deposit their eggs on
the vines about them. 1t Is the beetles
that appear in the spring that seek out
new fields wherever they may be
found. At least this is the rule in all
localities where an early crop Is grown
that furnishes breeding ground for the
second brood. 1t is my experience that
IL the young Of the first lot of beetles
be killed no second lot may be feared
that year. The trouble simply is that
most growers do not Kill all the Young.
They do not apply the poison until
