TOOK RISK IN COUGHING.

Warning.

The man IN the chair coughed suddenly

the barber. with an unwarranted display of
irritation. The man in the chair resented
in somewhat lurid language this restriction
of his personal liberty and intimated that
he would cough whenever he felt like It,
All right, then, cough your head eff, but
don't blame me if | cut you" returned the
barber. There was no more coughing, how
ever, and the man in the chair made his
escape without any injury. But, as he paid
his check at the desk, he remarked to the
boss barber:
Say, you want to give some nerve tonic
to the fellow who just shaved me-"
"Oh, don't mind him. replied the boss.
Hes from Colorado and he's used to shaw
ing consumptives. He was telling me the
other day that he's been in the business for
over 20 years and has shaved everything
from a l6-year-old boy to an octogenarian
drunkard, but his nerve went back on him
when he drifted into Colorado Springs and
started to shave the c~onsumptives who hang
out there. Ever since then a man With u

tells me, not a day goes by that some Hunger

Massachusetts Experiment Station.
Declares Its Use to Be Costly
and Not Effective.

A correspondent in one of our agri-
cultural papers reports that he had
found it possible to destroy stumps in
the following manner:
A hole one or two inches in diameter.
according to the size of the tree. and
IS inches deep is to be bored in the
stump. Into this put from one and one
half to two ounces of sa1tpeter, fill with
water and plug tightly. Six months
later put into the same hole about n
gill Of kerosene oil and set fire to it.
The stump will shoulder away without
blazing. even down to every part of the
roots, leaving nothing but ashes.
On November 4, 1895, SO stumps Of
trees cut in 1894, including maple. hick-
DRY, hemlock. white pine, yellow birch
and elm, were bored according to d.
rections. On December IL saltpeter
and water were put in the holes. ae-
cording to directions. and the holes
plugged. During July, 1896, the plugs
were removed, the holes were filed
with kerosene and an attempt made to
burn the stumps. 1t was found that
not even the oil would burn. Portions
5i,f the stumps were left until June. 1897.
when another attempt was made to
burn them, using a low test oil, called
parafnne gas oil. The stumps are stllI
in the field. The method has been
given d thorough trial, but mast be re-
garded as a complete failure.-Report

with the aid of the agricultural college
and government and state experiment
stations and agricultural institutes.
With this knowledge has come the ne
cessity of better appliances for inducing
healthy plant growths and guarding
against diseases, both in fruits and veg
etables. A century ago the idea of
smudging a tree to rid it of insects or
worms might have been scoffed at, but
now the need for an apparatus like the
one we illustrate can be easily compre-
hended. This tent-like deyiceisintended
to inclose completely trees Of considera-
bic size, and is constructed of a series
of overlapping sections, which can be
placed in position while folded, and
allowed to fall down all around the tree
until the lowest section reaches the
ground. With the tree thus inclosed,
it is an easy matter to build a fire inside
the tent and apply the chemicals which
will fumigate the foliage or rid the limbs
and trunk of any fungus growthsdetri-

FACTORIES.
How Roots of LcGuminous Plants
Change Free Nitrogen of the
Air Into Soil N~itrates,

The farmer is not generally looked
upon as a manufacturer. Yet on his
lands and under them, on the roots Of
all leguminous plants, there are at
work the microscopic creations that
labor in changing the free nitrogen
of the air into soil nitrates that nay
be used by the plants. Every nodule
on the root of a plant is an immense
factory. 1t may be smaller than a
pea, yet in it are multitudes of the lit
tie workers. They existed from the be-
ginning of the development of legum-
inosae on the earth; but man has
only recently discovered them. Be-
fore he understood hat they were the
friends of man, he regarded these
factories as symptoms of plant dis
eases, and various remedies were III
vented for the cure of the said dis
eases. But later such efforts were
found to be misplaced, and it was
recognized that these same tubercles
were part of the machinery of Mother
Nature, by which she kept the soil
supplied with the s~o-readily soluble
forms OF %nitrogel, which aloae can
be aiken up by the roots of plants.
In the woods and on the prairies there
are numerous forms of leguminosae,
which help to keep up the balance re-
quired. There are the wild peas, the
beggar weeds, the vetches and thei1
relatives. On all of their roots srs
the little nitrogen factories crowdeS
with workers. Man is able to assist
these laborers and make it possible
Tor them to increase their product
This is a manufacture in which there
is not danger of over production

An amusing story is told of the editor of
a go-ahead London evening newspaper, who,
IN the eternal rushing to press to get

A terrific boiler explosion had taken
place, on board a big ship lying at Ports
mouth.

The Belgian Hare Business.

The Belgian hare craze has gone by,
after making comfortable fortunes for
some OF who lookup breeding and
importing at the commencement Of the
boom. The hare is now taking its place
largely as a meat producing animal, al
though the stories told about it in this
direction are greatly exaggerated. But
there is a small and possibly growing
demand for the meat, which is of high
quality. The hares attain market size
at about six months Of age, but make
good eating at four months old. AS
they are as easily kept al sheep, and
the feed may be yery similar, they are
cheaply raised, and a pair or trio Of
breeders may be profitably kept on
many places.-Orange Judd Farmer.

TREE FUMIGATING SCREEN.
Description of n Device Recently Pat.
ented by a Progressive CALI
fOrnia Fruit Grower.

Farming a century ago consisted prin-
cipaiiy of planting the seed, keeping
out the weeds and waiting for the har-
vest, with little or no conception of the
chemical processes through which the
soil induced the plant growth, and, con-
sequently, no knowledge of how the
plant growth could be forced by the ad-
dition to the soil of the chemical con-
stituents which were lacking. Likewise
the apples and small fruits were looked
upon as a side issue, which must. be left
largely to chance in producing profit
able crops. Gradually, however, "a
change has come about, until now the
farmer performs his labor as a scientist

as such good service that we have re- !
produced it, and give it for what it is
worth. We took a good sound 2x4 oak
scantling Is feet in length, sawed it in
two in the middle. equal lengths. Out
of these two pieces we cut the two up
rights of the stretcher. Figure L.
making them six feet long. The
two short pieces left were sawed
16 inches long and set into gains
in the uprights and bolted fast.
AS shown in the illustration inch holes
were bored to correspond in the upright
bars, the holes in the right bar being
sawed out to admit and remove the
crank shaft, for various heighths of wire.
An inch rop 20 feet long is attached
to the inner end Of the shaft, and a
good solid hook fastened into the other
end of the rope is brought back and
hooked over the shaft just inside the
crank. A common hay rope pulley is
placed upon the rope, and to this pulley
is attached a wire clamp secured at our
hardware store. Two hooks Of heavy
rod iron were fashioned after the pat
tern at a, with threads cut and nuts
attached. These hooks are buried to
the cross pieces and hook around anchor
post,
II posts are very large a log chain can
be wrapped about the post and the hooks
attached to the chain. Also if a wire
clamp cal not be secured a hook similar
to the one on the end of the rope could
be substituted. In this case a false post
and brace could be put in temporarily
back Of the anchor post and the stretch
err he hooked to this post, a loop being
made in the end of the wire to fasten the
hook into. This would necessitate more
lebor, but would do as well, as the wire
would be pulled past the anchor post
where it can be stapled before releasing
the stretcher. We were well pleased
with the work done by this little ma
chine and feel satisfied that if construct
ed right it will stretch a proper tension
into any fencing wire, as we have
stretched both smooth and barbed wire
with it.
We omitted to mention that half inch
holes are bored into the right bar where
a steel punch is inserted to hold the
crank from reversing while wireis being
stapled. Also the stretcherstands in the
center of the fence and if fastened to
the anchor post instead otto false post,
the bolts are loosened and the left bar Of
the machine is easily removed to re-
lease it from the fence.-Geo. w. Brown,
