on a strip of paper. The cut shows
how the band of cotton is applied.
A loose band of the cotton is first
placed around the tree and a string
tightly tied around the tree near its low
er edge. The upper edge is then pulled
down or turned over the lower tied
part, just as a glove is turned inside
out in taking it off. The female
moths, having no wings, are obliged
to crawl up the trunk of the tree in
order to lay their eggs early in the
springtime, just after the ground
thaws out and also late in the fall.
The cotton band acts as an effectual
barrier so long as it remains fluffy
and soft, as the insects get entangled
and perish there.-Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune.

Fasten pair of stout legs about three
feet long to one end of each pole. Then
with a two-inch auger, bore a series of
holes along the top of each and fit a
wooden pin or stake to them. The
poles are to be placed side by side and
each log rolled up the incline until il
reaches the desired height. The pins
are inserted to prevent rolling or slid
ing back and the log is ready for the
saw.

manner, not to cut the blocks quite OFF
at first. but let them hang by a few
inches of solid wood. until all are nearly
cut off, when a few strokes of the saw
will separate them. By this means the
log is held steady and its equilibrium
preserved.-C. o. Ormsby, in Farm and

SCIENCE OF WATERING.
Under the Treatment Here Described
Almost Every Plant Is Reason
ably Sure to Thrive.

With a consignment of seeding
evergreens which l received a few
years ago was enclosed this order:
Don't, under any circumstances, wa
ter oftener than every two weeks. but
when watering soak thoroughly"
After studying and testing this adj
vice | found it to embody the correct
principle. A little water placed each
evening on a plant will soon evapo-
rate, the surface becomes baked, the
fine roots hunt the surface, and the
plant is injured instead of benefited.
By the soaking method the ground
must necessarily be well cultivated to
catch the water readily; the moisture
penetrates the soil, drawing the fibrous
roots downward and the results
resemble those caused by good rain
1t is in harmony with successful west
ern irrigation. There will be more
gained by thoroughly soaking the
ground around a single tree or plant
each evening than giving a hundred
the customary pint. My Seeding ever
green's were soaked to pillow depth,
and as soon as the surface was dry
enough worked into a dust mulch.
Each morning for a week the surface
looked as if it had received a good
shower, although we scarcely had a
dew. The growth of the trees at

A few plants possibly might be found
that would not thrive under this
treatment, but they would certainly

Wafer for Dairy Cows.

AS result of a series of experiments
conducted at the Pennsylvania expert
ment station to determine whether or
not dairy cattle could be fed to best
advantage in loose pens with a con
slant supply of water or kept in stalls
and watered at certain intervals, Prof.
Harry Haywood concludes that there
is practically no advantage III having
water constantly before the cows in
the stable. Cows turned into the yard
for water once day made as good re-
turns as those having constant access
to water in the stable. 1t was found it
required much more bedding to keep
the cows clean and comforta BILE in the
pen than in the stalls. Considerab bly,
less labor was required to care for the
animals in the pen than in the stalls.
A smaller number of germs or bacteria
were found in the milk of those cows
kept in the stalls.

HINT FOR LOG SAVING.
A Handy Arrangement Which Robs
n Hard Task of Its Most Dis
agreeable Features.

Many farmers draw their winter sup
ply of wood to the door in the log and
saw it at odd times with a cross cut
saw. This is easy and pleasant work
when the log is raised about two feet
from the ground, but very difficult and
tedious when it lies fiat upon the
ground A handy arrangement for
holding and raising the logs is easily
made as shown in the sketch.
Take two straight poles 16 feet long
and strong enough to bear the strain.

When does the farmer make a
profit? There are hundreds of farm
ers who have become wealthy, yet
they have handled very little money
and have had difficulty in meeting
their obligations. There is one bank
account which they do not draw
upon and the deposits accumulate
for years, which is the soil. a farm
er takes poor farm, works it, adds
manure and receives but little over
expenses, but every year his farm
has become more fertile and also in
creased in value. In ten or more
years the farm may be worth five
times the original cost, and it repre-
sents just as much profit as though
the farmer had received money. Ali
farms are, to a certain extent, banks
of deposit, where the profits of the
farm slowly accumulate.-Troy IN.

HAVE HAD THEIR DAY.
Old Fashioned Medicines For Catarrh
No Longer In Vogue

| For many years past the usual treat
ment for catarrh diseases was with
| local douches. sprays, inhalers and
| liquid medicines composed principally
Of alcohol. all of which never cured but
| simply give the temporary relief and
stimulation.
A thorough cure can be made only by
the treatment which removes the ca
| tarrhal poisons from the blood.
| A new remedy which meets the re-
| quirements and which so far has been
| remarkably successful in curing ca
| tarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood
and mucous membrane only.
They can hardly be classed AS a
secret patent medicine as they are COM
posed of such valuable remedies as
blood root, Hydrastin, red gum of
Eucalyptus tree and similar antiseptics
combined in tablet form, which cure
by eliminating from the blood and mu-
cous membrane the poisons of catarrh
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges to be taken
internally, allowing them to dissolve in
the mouth thus reaching the throat,
trachea and finally the stomach.
If desired they may also be dissolved
in water and used as 81 f'deuche, In ad-
dition to the Internal use but 10 is hot

use internally will cure theiiwhole cal
tarrhal trouble without resorting to the
inconvenience of douche.
DR.. Bennett stated that the internal
treatment of catarrh by means of
pleasant medicated tablets is rapidly
taking the place of douches and local
applications" and further says that
probably the best and certainly the
safest remedy at present on the market
is the Stuarts Catarrh Tablets. as no

The Factor of Education.

That invaluable reference book
who's Who in America" is frequently
drawn upon for all sorts of statistics
and information about the people in
our country who have won distinction
in their respective spheres of activity.
A Virginia educator, DR.. William w.
Smith, in a circular designed to arouse
in the people of his state more inter-
est in their schools and colleges gets
from the volume Il striking proof of
the value Of education in winning sue
cess and fame. He has taken the list
of 1852 Americans of more than local
note from the book and made an effort
to ASCERTAIN and classify the school
training of each. He then goes to the
latest census returns and finds that
according to the best estimate we can
make, there are in the United States
10 ,7S2,007 persons over twenty-one
years old. These are divided educa-
tionally about as follows:
y
training, s2.S63 .95.
Class With common and high
school training. 2165 .357
Glass with college or higher cd
ucation added, 1,0n POI
Now the question is How many of
the eight thousand distinguished citi-
zens of the United States on the
=. CT aonh nf
these classes?
The 4,GS2 i9S of class I furnished. 81
The 81 ,95l of class furnished, sos
The 2.16J.357 Of class } furnished, 1,3i5
The 1o71. POI OF class furnished, J,16S
1t thus appears:
% That an uneducated child has
one chance in 10000 of attaining dis
tnction as factor in the progress of
the age.
ca That a common school educa-
ton will increase his chances nearly
four times.
90 That q high school training
will increase the chances of the COM
mon school boy twenty-three times,
giving him eighty-seven times the
chance of the uneducated.
(4.) That a college education in
creases the chance of the high school
boy nine times, giving him 219 times
the chance of the common school boy,
and more than 500 times the chance
of the unframed.
1t is a surprising fact that of 1852
"notables" thus gathered. 4,S10 proved
to be full graduates of colleges.
From the nature of the case it cam
not be claimed that these figures are
exact, but they are based upon the
most reliable government statistics,
and the necessary estimates have been
made with care. 1t is also doubtless
true that other circumstances contrib
uted to the success of these college,
trained men, but after all reasonable
allowances are made the figures still
force the conclusion that the more
school training the child has, the great
er his chances of distinction will be.
