Aids to whitewashins.

The use Of the fruit-spraying pumps

is much more effectual than the use of
the brush, because by making the

trating or as powerful disinfectant
as the gas from burning sulphur and

can be used where it might not beswell
to use the sulphuric acid gas, as IN
cellars under living rooms. If it is to
be used as a disinfectant, or as an in
sect destroyer, the addition of a little
carbolic acid or little dissolved cop
peras to the whitewash may BE an adj
vantage, and we prefer the latter, at
least in COW stables, because it emits
no offensive odor Let the lime be
thoroughly slaked, and strained through
a cloth, so that it may be thin enough
to work well in the nozzle. And SIDES.
ceilings, corners and floors can be well
sprayed in one-fourth the time needed

long to dry, and two coats can easily be

Deductions In the manner of Sher-

successfully. They did not in a case
reported by the Washington Post. A
group Of reporters were talking togeth-

his time to watching a man standing

Novelty i'm Ink Wells.

The novelty of novelties is the latest
of inventions for holding ink. 1t is
scarcely a stand, since it rolls all
around, ard not a fountain, because 1t
does not flow. This curious ink receiver
is constructed on the plan of an egg.
The shell is of aluminium in two parts
that unite in the center, one forming
the top. A rubber lining corresponds
TO the shape of the egg, fitting snugly
within the shell. One end is slightly
fattened so that ordinarily the egg will
stand on end without being broken, ac-
cording to the famous feat of Column
bus. But the least tip or dip of the pen
tits 1t to one side, yet it never turns
over, but rolls about like an Indian
water Jar without spillhsg the contents.
At the upper end is small indenture,
and into the rubber is fitted small
funnel, through which the ink is poured
in and dipped out. This unique ink bot
tie may be turned upside down and
shaken like pepper stand, but not a
drop of the fluid will run out. 1t is a
boon for tourists, and may be nested
away anywhere in ones trunk or car
ried in hand bag " It'll impunity. Just
how much spelling Of paper and clean
ing out of ink, loss of tiEe and vexa-
ton of spirit will be saved by this little
contrivance is beyond computation.

Schemes of the Tree Agent.

1t is really surprising how frequent
ly farmers are taken in by tree sharps.
One would suppose that the informa-
ton concerning tree growth and soils
possessed by all farmers would be suf-
ficient to make them suspicious of big
stories, but it is evident, from the way
in which the rogues thrive, that they
find easy Wet rs in lae farming COM
munities. One IF the latest schemes
ia for the tree agent to offer to plant an
acre with trees for 500 and to care
for the trees for five years. In addi-
ton he agrees that the firm he repre-
sents will buy all the fruit from the
trees at an advance of from 10 to % per
cent over the ruling market price. 1t
would hardly seem as if any man of in
telligence would be taken in by such a
proposition, yet hundreds of dollars
are being put in the pockets of these
rogues by unsuspecting farmers. There
are many nurserymen in the country
who sch their products entirely
through agents, and such men are re-
liable, but they do not tell improbable
stories or exhibit wax fruit and claim
it to be genuine; neither do they me Se
offers such as the one above stated. AS
a RUE, Ii is entirely safe to refuse to
sign any paper offered by stranger

case with those having rounded corners.
Where great strength and large capac-

silo will best meet the requirements.
This form OF silo can be made quite
durable by plastering the inside with

to its simplicity and economical con-
struction. seems to fully meet the re-
quirements of the farmer. With the
form of silo properly erected the waste
Of silage Is reduced to the minimum.
Hoops for the silo can be made OF
any suitable material, such as half

eighths inch round iron, one-eighth

The woven wire fence hoop Is often
used since it Is regarded as being very
economical. Doors may be simply

Professor Plateau went out one day
and ate part of one of these so-called
''distastefur' insects. He reported that
the flavor, if somewhat insipid, was
sweetish, containing a suggestion Of al
mond. and was on the whole not an
pleasant. Afterward Professor Wheel
er, of Texas, was induced to repeat this
gastronomic adventure. His report
concerning the insect he devoured was
slightly sweet and distinctly .'nutty,"
and he earnestly invited naturalistsI TO
eat insects indiscriminately on all their
expeditions. That. Professor Wheeler
declared, would be the best way to els
pose of the theory that some INSECTS
were harmful TO birds. lizards and
frogs, and that their colors were self
protective in warning those creatures
to abstain from gobbling them up. sut
Mr.. Gay Marshall, the distinguished
naturalist of Mashonaland, after prey
ing that, as a matter of fact, frogs,
birds and lizards do abstain from eating
the highly colored caterpillars, Pointed
out that the personal tests made by bis
brother entomologists were of no worth,
inasmuch as man was not naturally AN

rate highly unpalatable, to frog.

feet high to admit, of having pendent
sufficiently long to give the. required
length of stroke. The weight on the

to prevent the saw from riding. The

among those that are heavily granted

is giving too much ground grains. The

In the largest proportions at all seasons

" is benefit to their plumage, besides
Kidding them of lice. If the plumage
is to be kept clean and bright, especial
ly on birds intended for exhibition pur-

solutely dry, as otherwise it will soil
the plumage and the fine bird on which
you may pride yourself will look very
dingy.

give an idea of how birds may be pro-

all kinds of weather. Cloths may be
