Herr Schuch, a German author, has
compiled dictionary of 2500 insult
ing expressions, carefully hbulated,
indeXed and classified.
The work, ON which Herr Schuch has
spent years Of labor, says the Chicago
Chronicle, is called the Schimpfworter
Lexikon, and is divided into five gen.
eral heads-insults for men, insults for
women, insults for either sex, insults
for children and collective insults for
syndicates, groups and corporations.
Herr Schuch, with that minute dis
cernment Of the searching German, has
subdivided these classes into smaller
ones. so that when one wishes to call
his friend or enemy name it needs
but short consultation with the book
to find the exact epithet or phrase
which will fit the case.
This work would have been invalu-
able to Mississippi River pilots in the
old days, and even now the teamster
may regard 1t as welcome addition
to his library.

In many localities dairying would be
profitable. but farmers are not used to
this kind of work, and take to it slow
ly. The first thing to overcome is the
dislike for the work. This is difficult
problem, as few men are really fond of
milking. If this can be overcome by
keeping good cows which make the
business profitable, the next serious
problem is that of good roads. Poor
roads are great detriment where milk
has to be hauled to the creamery. Mr..
Gilkerson, of Northern Illinois, former

be selected, possibly Short-Horns or

method, but, under present conditions.

Melons, Cucumbers and souashes.


The ground was worked out and
holes were made for each hill eight
inches deep and two and a half feet in

On top of this was placed two shovel
fuls of compost, which brought the hill

How Muskrats Are Secured.

Muskrats are frequently secured by
forcing a long-pronged spear or gig
through the tops of their houses and
transfiXing the animals within. The
house must be approached cautiously.
for it is vacated on the slightest alarm.
After each successful thrust hole is
cut through the wall of the house with
a hatchet and the game removed, when
the hole is filled up. AS the animals
are scurrying through the house after
the thrust of the spear some may be
taking by spearing them through the
ice if the thickness of the latter does
not exceed two inches. The remaining
members of the family soon return
and set about repairing the breach in
the wall of the house. If, when the
wall is preached, a trap is properly
set inside the house, near the edge of
the nest and few inches under the
water, the first muskrat returning is
usually taken. When a trap is so set,
a stick about three feet long is placed
through the ring of the chain and laid
across the breach in the wall.
On sunny days in winter or early
spring muskrats are shot while sitting
on the ice or while swimming about
or basking on logs. They are also
secured in the same manner on moon.
light nights. Large numbers are taken
in this manner by sportsmen, but it is
not desirable method Of obtaining
them for the fur market on account of
the damage done by the shot.

A FAIRY TALE OF INDUSTRY.
The Great Transformation Scene Al
SauIt Ste. Marie.

Few people have any notion of the
etupendous operations going on at
Sault Ste. Marie, the little Canadian
village on the shores of Lake Superior,
where an industrial center of enor-
nous magnitude is now being created.
Five years ago the sleepy little Can
adian town of Sault Ste. Marie num-
bered $500 inhabitants. Past its doors
the sulplus waters of Lake Superior,
mightiest of inland oceans, emptied
into Lake Huron. Untold millions of
horsepower energy lay latent in their
idly flowing eddies, but only the slow
turning wheels of a few old -four mills
stood to mark their commercial use

sive stone. Nine thousand workmen
now earn their living in the shops Of
Sault Ste. Marie, besides the site

Economical Poultry Fatteninc,

While the Maine Experiment Station
has got as satisfactory results from
feeding poultry in small houses and
yards, the Ontario Agricultural Col
lege has done decidedly better when
the fowls were confined in small coops.
Those fed in loose pens, with five
square feet space to each bird, gained
eleven pounds per crate of twelve birds
at cost of IA cents per pound and
sold at nine cents per pound. Those
fed in coops gained in the same time
fifteen pounds at cost of 6.21 cents
per pound and sold at ten cents per
pound. Those kept in crates and fed
with examining machine gained 21A
pounds at cost Of 4.SS cents per
pound and sold at eleven cents per
pound. Equal parts milk and grain
were used.

CERMLESS SCHOOL BOOKS.
Salt Lakes Precautions Against Spreading
Disease Among Its Children.

A new ordinance has been adopted
In Salt Lake City with the idea of
preventing the disseminating of scar
let fever and diphtheria germs among
school children.
Both diseases have recently been epi-
demic among the children in the city,
and the Board OF Health decided that
the germs Travelled in the school books
and other things carried by the pupils.
The result has been the passage of an
ordinance which is probably more
stringent than any other of the kind
ever adopted by any municipality.
1t provides that none Of the school
books shall be covered with any mate
rial other than paper. In all schools
In which there is free distribution of
books such books, after having once
been used, must be recovered and thor
oughly disinfected by the Board of
Health.
A student once having received a
book shall keep it as long as that book
is necessary for his studies.
1t is unlawful for the schools to col.
lect pencils, sponges or other articles
used by the students for the purpose of
redistributing them to other students
A violation of any provision Of the or
dinance is punishable by fine of $25.

Seed Growing.

A line of farming which offers good
opportunities in many places is the
growing of crops for seed. OF course
this will require more care and expense
than is usually given the same crops.
and also demands some skill, but the
returns will also be greater. Most
farmers would be willing to pay pre-
MUM for well seeds and well selected
corn for planting. So with the other
cereals. Then there are some crops
such as the hairy vetch, the cowpea
and the soy bean, the seed of which
can be easily grown, and for which
there is an increasing demand at good
prices. To the man who can invest a
little money and some skill and knowl-
edge in this work it seems to offer
splendid returns.-E. e. Miller in The
Epitomist.

There is loss in poultry products in
the neglect to provide nests and accom-
modations for the fowls. The hens
should not be compelled to lay in horse
troughs or where difficulty in finding
the eggs may ocur, as time devoted in
that direction is wasted. Ducks should
be confined at night and kept up until
past sunrise, as they usually lay early
in the morning. They are not now
producing many eggs, having laid
their quota earlier, but they should be
given shelter at night. in order to pro-
tect them from enemies.

Close planting is often cause of
failure, especially if peach trees are
planted or crops grown between them,
and they are not well fertilized. j. H.
Hale plants peach trees thirteen feet
apart each way, but he feeds them like
pigs. Many set early bearing apple
trees between later ones, intending to
root them out as they grow, but they
do not carry out their good resolves.
An orchardist who has 900 acres near
Springfield, Mo-, says: apple trees in
good land should never be planted
closer than 30x30 feet apart, and in
fairly good not closer than 25X25 feet.
On soil that will not grow twenty
bushels of corn to the acre apple trees

The arm is of wood, 2xS inches by four
feet. 1t is fastened to the pole by a
six inch piece of pipe passing tightly
through hole in the middle of the arm
and fitting tightly into the top of the
large pipe. The vines are cut back to
two main branches each winter The
shoots which bear the fruit start each
spring and are allowed to swing free,
according to the principle OF the
Kniffen system, as in the illustration.
The vines are cut back to two arms
each winter, new growth being sub,
stituted for the old arms at the same
time. Vines so treated give good
crop, easily gathered, and Of very
fine quality and appearance, and the
training is less work than by almost
any other method. Another advantage
is that the vines may be cultivated in
both directions, with no wires to in

Young colts are easily injured and

allowance of ground oats at least twice
