HE TOOK PIE IN HIS.
Kentucky Senator Had to Keep in
Line with the Soft
Drinks.

When it comes to story telling, Congress
man Samuel L. Powers, of Newton, can hold
his own with any of them. The other night
he related one which was much appreciated
by those who heard it, says the Boston Post.
The story is about Senators Blackburn and
Fairbanks and Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw. When the latter first came to Wash
lngton Senator Blackburn had some bust
ness with the secretary, and while in the
office met Senator Fairbanks After the
business was concluded Senator Blackburn
invited the other two out to have libation,
and they accepted.
All hands lined up against the bar of the
Riggs house. Turning to Secretary Shaw,
Senator Blackburn said: '.What will you
have, Mr.. Secretary" 'Well, guess I'll
have glass of lemonade" was the reply.
The gentleman from Kentucky then turned
to Senator Fairbanks and said: "And what
will you have, senator?" "Pll have glass
of Moxie," was the reply. The bartender
leaned over the counter and said to Senator
Blackburn: "And what's yours, senator?''
"Oh," said the distinguished gentleman
from the blue grass state, 81 guess I'll have

FUMIGATION OF PEAS.
Ontario Agricultural College De-
scribes Effective Method of En-
terminating Weevils.

Every year we are asked how to de-
stroy weev.ls in peas. The Ontario ag-
ricultural college at Guelph, Ont, issues
a good statement of the facts about peas
and insects in bulletin 126. The two
pictures shown in cut are taken from
this bulletin. The following account is
given of the Canadian method of fumi-
eating the peas:
Immediately after thrashing the peas
wera put into cotton or jute bags. AS
soon as 80 bushels of peas were thrashed
they were placed in fumigation box
for treatment One pound of carbon
bisulphide was poured out into three
fiat pans, which were placed on the top
of the peas; the cover was then put on
the box and weighted with heavy stones.
After 4S hours the cover was removed

Instead of the usual method of
propagating currants, viz, making cut
tings of the new wood in the fall or
early winter and planting early in the
spring, a better method has been tried
enough successfully to be recommend
ed to the public. 1t is as follows:
When the stems of the present years
growth are we'll matured, yet some
what soft and sappy, make the cut
tings. Plant them Immediately in eth
er the nursery row or trench, in we'll
drained, loose soil. Good pudding at
the time of planting will insure the
cuttings to start good roots in about
six or eight weeks. This method has
the advantage of giving the farmer
strong, sturdy plants, instead of cut
tings to set out in the spring.-Rural

found eating ripe raspberries and black
berries, but does no particular damage
to the rose bush and foliage. The dam
age is done to the rosebud in which ii
deposits its egg. The grub, on Matching
feeds on the seeds of the rose apple, and
attains full size in it's birthplace. In
October it eats it's way out and disap-
pears into the ground.
The damage is done to the roses by
the holes bored in depositing the eggs
good many buds so punctured drying
up and dropping. Some, however, live
and bloom, and in these the larva grows.
The remedy is the hand picking OF
the rose apples before the grubs emerge.
These affected buds can be told by the
discolored area on the side of the apple
in which the puncture was made when
the egg was nserted.-Farmers' Review.

SOIL FOR STRAWBERRIES.
success Is More in the Man Than tho
Variety, Land or Any Other
Condition.

The question is often asked: What
varieties of strawberries are the best
for heavy clay soil? What for sandy
loan or for gravelly soil?
w. S. Crawford, of Ohio, an author
ity on strawberries, says that he does
not think the question can be answered
in satisfactory manner. AS a gen
eral thing varieties are not adapted
to special kinds of soil, and will do as
well on one kind as upon another,
provided they are furnished with the
food and drink they need, as they do
not depend upon the soil itself, but
upon the fertility that is held in solu-
ton around the grains of soil.
If the fertility and water are there
they will get tt/and do well, and if
they are not there, the opposite results
may be expected.
This brings out the fact that we
could hope for best results if we knew
just what was already in the soil, as
some kinds are likely to be wanting in
some of the needed elements and
there are some varieties that are not
as good as others in adapting them
selves to imperfect conditions. Some
good authorities state that the Candy
is not adapted to dry, sandy land.
This is because the land is dry and not
because it is sandy. In wet season.
or with irrigation, 1t will do as well
there rs anywhere
Given nitrogen, potash, phOSChoric
acid and water in sufficient quantities
and most any variety is not particular
what kind of soil it is started In,
for it will get them if they are there.
We advise not to plant some varieties
upon low land, not because it is low
merely, but because it is more likely
to be frosty because it is low. On
such land such sorts as the Nick
dinner or Marshal are likely to be
killed, while the Haviland would likely
grow a good crop.
Then there are varieties that should
not be grown on heavy undrained
land unless they can be we'll covered,
as they will not be able to hold them
selves in the ground. the freezing and
thawing causing them to heave badly.
Success is more in the man than the
variety, land, climate or any other
condition, says Mr. Crawford, for the
man who knows how and will use his
knowledge will to g great extent over
come uEfavorable conditions.-Farm-
ers' Voice.

The Teacher Won.

Hinton, KY, Nov. 2.-For over two years,
two of the best physicians in this part of this
son, popular local school teacher, for Dia-
betes. They told him that but little could be
done to help him. He made up his mind to
try new remedy called Dodd s Kidney Pills,
and says
They saved me when the doctors held out
no hope. l took, in all, about ten boxes. I
Will always praise Dodd's Kidney Pills for
the great good they have done for me-
Many people, and some physicians, still
persist in the belief that Diabetes is an in
durable disease. Our teacher, Mr.. Thomp-
son, says it is durable, for Dodd's Kidney
Pills cured him after two good physicians
had treated him for two years without sue
cess.
A remedy that will cure Diabetes will sure
ly cure any case of Kidney Trouble.

Fumisate Young Tree.

Whether the trees set out this fall
come from infected or clean localities,
1t is good plan to fumigate them.
They may not need this treatment but
1t will do no harm. In spite of all care
some eggs or larvae may be left on
the trees, which in short time will
overrrun the orchard. 1t is little trou-
BILE to treat young stock before plant
ing. A large dry goods box, lined
with building paper or otherwise made
tight, will make handy fumigating
chamber. Hydrocyanic acid gas or
some other poisonous gas will be a
very efficient nigator.-RIral World

and the box ventilated. The pans had
become dry, as the liquid had changed
into a gas, which, being much heavier
than air, had sunk down amongst the
peas, penetrating them and killing the
weevils. The quantity Of carbon bisul-
phide used by us was larger than that
usually recommended, as pound or a
pound and half is generally considered
sufficient for 100 bushels of peas, but We
wished to err.an the safe side"
The fumigating box mentioned is
shown in the upper part of the picture
The lower part of this picture shows
how barrels may be used for fumigating
If desired. The box shown is five feet
long, two and four-fifths feet wide and

pine lumber one and one-half inch
thick, tongued and grooved. The end

lead is used at the joints, and the cover
Is lined with cloth. The box is so well
made that it has been used for dipping
sheep. Regarding the use of bisulphide
this bulletin states:
when pure it will not injure or stain
the finest goods. The commercial liquid
has an acrid taste, and an odor like that
of rotten eggs. The vapor is more than
two and a half times as heavy as air
Carbon bisulphide may be purchased in
small quantities from any druggist at
about 80 cents per pound, or 40 cents
per pint. For larger quantities, better
rates can be given by the druggist. The
gas, or vapor, which comes from carbon
bisulphide is not only combustible, but
it is very explosive when mixed with
air. Great care should, therefore, be
taken to treat the peas in the daytime
only, for light or flame of any kind
brought near the liquid may cause a.
serious explosion; and smoking near it
should be positively prohibited. More
over, the vapor should not be inhaled. as
1t is very injurious, even a small por-
ton causing headache, giddiness and
nausea. The treatment with carbon BIZ
sulphide should be made in boxes, bar
rels, or bug houses located some dis
lance from the insured buildings on the
farm. With the strict observation of the
preceding precautions, no one should
hesitate to use the carbon bisulphide
AS matter of fact, we have never heard
OF any bad results following it's use in
the treatment of peas"

Honesty ian Packing Fruit.

In handling fruit and vegetables one
of the common tricks is in facing the
packages, but the deception is soon
discovered, and the buyer, nine times
out of ten, is pretty sure to find out the
trick, and the sellers reputation, if he
has any, is badly damaged. If, on the
other hand, care is taken to grade and
uniformity is adhered to, an enviable
reputation can be built up which is
lasting. Buyers, whether in the local
or distant market, soon learn the
brand of the honest shipper.-Mldland

Ollie Church are meager, says the coll-
temporary. We are not aware that
they receive any more than $1,000 in
any diocese. There are some dioceses
in which $1,000 is paid to pastors of
important parishes, but generally
speaking the salary of a pastor is $500
year. In this diocese, as the peo-
pie know from the financial reports,
the salary of the pastors, no matter
how large the parish, is only 500.
The pastor does not have to pay
house rent or fuel, but he must
pay all the other expenses from his
meager salary, helped out somewhat
by the offerings that are made. The
work of a priest in Il parish is as far
in excess of that of the minister as
the minister's salary is in excess of
the priests. Money, of course, is not
the motive power of the priests zeal

1t is we'll for the people to know that
in the calls made upon them and in
the sacrifices they have to make, the
priest himself hardly gets enough to
make ends meet. We presume it
