mended by ALTO Procure a
Sprinkler for the Streets.

The town council, at its last meet
ing, let an additional contract to
William Norell for the grading of
River street from the south side of
Bridge street to the north side of Elm
emu This last contract will about
exhaust what city funds there is now
in the hands of the town treasurer,
otherwise River street would have
been graded out onto the Highlands
and placed in condition for travel.
II will be but a short time until the
treasury will be replenished and there
is no doubt but what this very much
needed work will then be done.
The very dry, warm weather of the
past week has had the effect to pow
der up the dirt hauled in to FL up
the streets. The heavy winds have
made the dust very d~isagreeable and
emphasized the need of a sprinkler to
keep the dust down and settle the
clay into a compact mass and make
the streets solid. Steps are now be-
ing taken to procure a street sprinkler
for use during the dry, dusty weather.

Conceit.

A little dog barked at the big, round
That smiled in the evening sky,
And the neighbors smote him with
rocks and shoon,
But still he continued his rageful tune,
And he barked till his throat was dry.
The little dog bounced like a rubber
bail,
For his anger quite drove him wild.
And he said: I'm a terror, although I'm
small,
And l dare you, you impudent fellow, to
fall"
But the moon only smiled and smiled.
Then the little dog barked at a terrible
rate,
But he challenged the moon in vain,
For as calmly and slow as the workings
of fate
The moon moved along in a manner
sedate
And smiled at the dog in disdain.
But soon meath a hill hat INSTRUCTED
the west
The moon sank down out OF sight,
And it smiled as it slowly dropped un-
der the crest;
But the little dog said, as he laid down
to rest:
well, | scared it away. all right!'

Walked Into The Well.

Fern, the % months old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. X. Adams had a
very serious accident last Monday
evening. Mrs. Adams was calling on
Mrs. w. r. Golf, and Mrs. Golf drew
some water from the well which is in
the middle of the kitchen. The trap
door which covers the well was left
open for a moment and the little girl,
who was playing around walked to
the edge of the opening and fell in.
The well is about II feet deep with
eighteen inches of water. in it. The
child landed in the well right side up
and when taken out a few minutes
later "a all right save for a little cut
on her head where she had struck the
curbing of the well. Had the water
been deeper or the child fallen head
first the result would have certainly
been serious. As it is her escape
from serious injury is somewhat mir
aculous.

ORCHARD CULTIVATION.
The Advantages Of q High Crop OF
Rye on Northern Sections Cam
not Be Overestimated.

There is little question in the mind
Of any intelligent farmer about the
value of orchard cultivation up to
the bearing period, but not all agree
that it should extend beyond. Never
theless there is nothing worse for an
orchard than a bare soil left to take
care of itself. Weeds will invariably
appear in such q soil, and these will
do considerable harm in robbing the
land of the richness which the trees
need. There must be some counter
balancing method. OF the many ex-
periments made with orchards that
have been treated with and without
cultivation after the trees began to
produce, the great majority showed
decided improvement in favor of
those which have been cultivated.
This, however, does not mean any
more than mere surface cultivation,
and for that matter not much more
than surface scratching OF tho
ground in the spring sufficient to
make grass or grain seed catch.
There is no better plant fertilizer
than good rye turned under or al
lowed to decay in the field. Every
crop of this that we can raise and
return to the soil should increase the
fertility, SO that the young and old
trees will make new growth.
The blowing of the surface in tho
spring need not interfere with tho
roots OF the trees. Indeed, special
care should be taken to avoid any
such contingency. The soil can cas-
lily be stirred to a sufficient depth to
make the seeds grow without touch
ing the roots. If these latter run
very close to the surface, the plow
or cultivator should not be run up
near the trees; but as a rule this
stirring of the top soil every year
tends to make the roots of the trees
seek lower level, and in orchards
that have been cultivated from the
beginning little trouble will be ex-
perienced with the surface roots.
Sow from one to two bushels of rye
to the acre, SO that the ground will
be covered before winter. This will
help to protect the roots of the trees
from the severe cold, and the follow
ing spring when turned under tho
rye will add rich fertility to the soil.
The advantage of a high crop of rye
in the orchard in the fall in the
states where the winter freezing is
apt to injure fruit trees cannot be
overestimated. The tall rye proves a
most effectual blanket to the tree
roots and trunks, and few trees are
injured from freezing when treated
in this way. The thick rye is really
warmer and superior to covering
of snow. When feed is scarce tho
temptation to cut the rye in the or
chard is great, but do not yield to
it. No orchard can thrive which is
systematically robbed of its fertil-
ity.-S. w. Chambers, in Journal of
| Agriculture

follow these directions, they may Gull

Let them ask the greengrocer for
a carrot from which the top foliage
has not been cut away. Cut away
the carrot, leaving only about a
couple of inches at the end where it
joins the fern. Scoop out the inside
of this short piece of carrot and
pour little water into it. Then
hang up this little bowl, still leaving
the foliage upon it. At first the fern
will appear to be growing upside
down, but after time it will grow
upward in the right direction.
Fill the hollow part with water
from time to time as the water
dries up, and occasionally place the
carrot end in a different position,
for the side nearest the window will
grow thicker and quicker than that
which has less light.

DAIRY SOILING CROPS.
The Time Will Come When Every
Farmer Who Wants to Succeed
Will Plant Them

An old adage has it that closing the
barn door after the theft of the horse
is not the best method of preventing
burglary. Yet it is held to be worth
while as a discourager of further pill
fering. The dairyman who this past
summer has seen his COWS shrinking,
feels inclined to shut the barn door.
How may he do this best? If he has
planted soiling crops like peas and
oats, Hungarian millet, and the like,
and has been experimenting the dying
pastures with green feed in the barn
or yard, he has closed the door be-
fore rather than after the theft.
Moreover, the necessity for the sum-
mer feeding of grain is greatly less
ened. If he has no recourse to soiling
crops, nothing but buying grain can
lessen the shrinkage.
The Vermont experiment station
has for many years experimental with
soiling crops, and recommends to
dairymen the large use of summer
ensllage and oats and peas sown
at weekly intervals, and fed during
July and August. Ensilage is prob
ably the cheaper food; oats and peas
somewhat the better. If the former
is contemplated as a steady summer
diet for years, it would be we'll to lon-
slider the erection of special summer
silo, preferably round, with a small
diameter and relatively great depth.
Ensilage spread over large surface
In summer spoils rapidly and loses
largely in feeding value. If oats and
peas be chosen, they should be sown
in successive lots at weekly intervals,
the two sown separately, the peas first
rather deeply and narrowed in: the
oats two or three days later and
pushed in: A better catch is likely to
be secured in this way than if sown
together. The crop may be either fed
green, hayed or put in the silo. Let
those whose July and August milk
yields prove disappointing try ensi-
lage or oats and peas next year.-Coun-
try Gentleman.

SHAPELY FINGER NAILS.
Manicuring Is a Simple Art, ReQuir-
Ing Very Little Talent hut
Lots of Patience.

Where is the woman who does not
like to have pretty nails and nicely
kept hands? But how many women
know how to care for their hands in
the proper way? Not one out of ten
knows how to manicure the nails,
and in consequence we have ragged
selvages, uneven nails and little
white spots at the base of the nails.
1t takes a great deal of patience for
these to grow out as they must, de-
clares an authority.
To scrape the nails, as some do,
thinking to remove the rough ap-
pearance the enamel sometimes has,
is almost fatal. The enamel once re-
moved takes long time to grow on
again-indeed, it must grow out with
the nail, and the new nail is never
as nice as before the scraping.
The instruments needed to proper
ly manicure the nails are not many
and are Inexpensive. Get good
buffer, nail file and clippers, orange
stick and cuticle knife. This is all
that is really necessary for the prop
err care of the hands.
When manicuring the hands first
place the tips of the fingers in a
bowl of water, in which a few drops
of lemon juice has been squeezed.
Let them remain there a few minutes
and then wipe.
Take one of the pieces of orange
stick and carefully push the sewage
back all around the nail. Be careful
not to bear on the nail heavily, for
this will cause little white spots to
appear.
When you have pushed the sewage
back if there happens to be a hang
nail or little ragged piece clip it
with the cuticle knife very carefully;
then put that instrument, with which
SO much harm is done to the nails,
out of sight and out of mind.
Many persons keep the selvage en-
tirely cut around the nails. This
gives them raw, sore look and in
creases the tendency of the flesh to
grow up around the nails. The sell
wage should never be cut unless little
ragged pieces appear.
Clean the nails with the orange
stick and then clip them if necessary.
File the nails to remove any little
rough corners that may have been
left by the clipping. Touch with
rosline dust, with nail powder and
use the buffer lightly. Remember
that very highly-polished nail is
not considered good taste.-Detroit
Free Press.

have not only found it of considerable
practical value, but we are sure we
would prefer it to an enclosed pen, save
possibly in the case of a very vicious
animal, where proba bly, the cable would
be very much out of order.
In the accompanying cut but one
end of the cable is shown. Two heavy
posts are set about 60 feet apart and
are thoroughly braced or stayed.
Those we used are about ten inches in
diameter in the smallest, and we find
them none too large - in fact,
larger, rather than smaller, ones would
be preferred. It is surprising what
strain is brought against these posts,
even by bull attached to the cable
with his ring.
The cable is passed through the posts
about nine feet from the ground. At
, distance of about four feet from the
post it will be observed that an OK ring
Is spliced into the wire. Our main OBJ
ject, however, in putting the rings in
at either end was to prevent the bull
from coming closer to the posts than
ls safe. If allowed too close, there is
danger of his becoming entangled and
then breaking loose.
We use an iron pulley on the cable
similar to what is shown in the cut.
I have no doubt that there is a
great deal in the proper training of a
bull for such wire. should not rec
ommend any one to pull an old bull on
such cable and expect the experiment
to be entirely successful, because,
though the chances are favorable, it
would not be safe save in the case of a
bull that is very easily managed, but if
the bull is trained to such wire when
calf, and grows up thoroughly &C
customed to it, believe that the ma
jority of the bullkeepers will be so
thoroughly pleased that they will use
the wire for exercising altogether. If
one desires to make his own cable, he
can do SO just as well as to buy it. I
would recommend that seven or nine
strands of No. 10 galvanized wire be
used. and be twisted with considerable
evenness so as to be smooth. Our
cable is hand-twisted and is as salts
factory as though machine made.
