Skill Is Necessary,

Here is a trick which will cause
amusement to young and old:
Get two balls about the size of bill
lizard balls. Chalk a circle three inches
in diameter on the tablecloth and a
line about two feet off. Place n ball
in the center Of the circle and balance
a penny fiat on the top Of 1t.
The trick is to bowl from the line
with the remaining ball and try to
knock the penny out Of the ring. Sim
pie as it sounds, you will find that it
takes a great deal of practice, for nine
times out of ten it drops inside.
The only way to do it is Ito bowl
very slowly, SO that the ball knocks
the other one very slightly, and the
penny will roll out on top of the ball.

San Jose Scale on shrubs.

Those who fear the coming of San
Jose scale among their fruit trees
should bear in mind that this pest does
not confine itself to- fruit trees. Those
who may have a collection of Towering
shrubs on their grounds may find it on
some Of those bushes. Many shrubs
belong to the same natural order as the
greater number of fruits do, and these
take the scale just as quickly. The Py-
rus japonica, or fire bush, as many call
it because of its flame colored flowers,
is the delight Of the scale. On many
private grounds where it had been in
use as an ornamental hedge, it has been
necessary to root it out and burn it to
get rid of the scale. Usage orange
hedges have met the same fate. These
two plants are but a small portion OF
those liable to become infested. Every
shrub should be examined at stated
times. The Russian olive, the bladder
nut, the Towering almonds and many
other nice shrubs have carried the pest.
The scale can be controlled or fruit

The Country Reared Man.

This tribute to the country reared
inan is from the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch: Strange to say, most of the men
who occupy really important places in
the great cities of the present and the
men who hold the nigh political offices
in the different states are men who
were born in the country. How long
has it been since Illinois had had a
governor, a secretary of state. an au-
ditor or an attorney general who was
a native or a resident of anything but
e country town? How long has it been
since Missouri has had one?

A Game For Parlor or Lawn.

If this game is played upon a tennis
court the net makes a good wall, or 1t
played in the parlor a strip Of muslin
stretched across the folding doors or
room will answer. Then select two
captains, who in turn select their sides.
each side taking a position on either
side of the wall. Each captain has a
soft ball, and at the count of one, two,
three, they toss the ball owe the wall,
at the same time calling the name Of
the opposite player who is expected to
catch it. If in the excitement the wrong
one catches the ball he or she goes on
the other side. The player who catches
the bal! hastily passes 1t again to his
captain and the former rule is repeated
until one side outnumbers the other to
some great extent.

Formers Then and Now.

It is difficult for a progressive farm
er of the present day to realize how
farmers of forty years ago could live
when every farm operation was done
by hand or by use of the crudest con-
trivances. Grain was cut with a era
die, hay with a scythe. Flowing was
done with a metal pointed mold board
stocked at home, and a tree fork and
wooden pegs made the harrow. Grain
was trodden out by horses or thrashed
on rail pens with fails. Then there
were no many toothed cultivators,
weeders or disk plows or harrows.
Then an acre a day was good work in
cultivation or preparation. Now we do
much better work at the rate of five to
ten acres per day. Now one man can
do the work that formerly occupied Ave
or more men the same number of hours.
The inventive genius of man has been
gradually eliminating every form of
| drudgery from farm life.-Exchange.

peache. WIN Be Scarce.

]. II. Merriman says that the crop in
Connecticut this season is a failure.
He does not expect the yield to amount
to over 5000 baskets. He will have
about 1900 barrels of apples. At the
Connecticut Valley company's peach
orchard Manager Molumphy said that
the peach yield would be very light. 1t
would be SO scattering that it was hard
to give an estimate, but would not be
more than a tenth Of a good crop. 1t
was so throughout the state. as they
bad more than most orchards. If the
gear had been good. he said, the yield
would have been about 100000 bas-
kets with the new trees that would
have come into bearing. American

The Angry Tree,

Did you know that a tree can be an
CRY? There is a kind of acacia in Ne
vada that not only is as "touchy' as
the sensitive plant, but, as a gardener
put it, "goes very mad"
It is about eight feet tall and Is a
very rapid grower. When the sun sets
it is ready to go to sleep and shuts its
leaves together and coils the ends OF
its twigs just like a pigtail. If any
one pulls that tail-well, the tree does
not squeal, but it futters and moves
uneasily and seems to be deeply agi
tated.
If it is ever disturbed by a shock
such as transplanting, the leaves stand
out in all directions and culver violent
". Strangest of all, they send out 8
pungent, nauseating odor that Is mos
unpleasant.
