Too small for Its Ace.

A gentleman who had employed an
old colored carpenter to do a piece Of
rather delicate cabinet work for him
was pleased beyond his expectations
with the result.
Wishing TO show his satisfaction, he
after paying the price the old man
asked-took from the sideboard a bot
tie OF extraordinarily fine whiskey that
had Just been sent him end poured a
little into glass.
"Uncle," he inquired, have tou ever
tasted whiskey fifty years old?'
mo, sab, never has" replied the
old darby, his voice trembling with
anticipation.
"Well, try that, then" said his en-
ployor, handing him the glass, and
tell me what you think Of It,"
The old fellow received 1t reverent-
ly, took one sip, and raised his eyes in
ecstasy.
ooh, sab! dat am sho'ly de fines
beverage dis chile eyah taste, But,
with an anxious glance at the very
slight quantity in the glass, don't you

sArT KILLs WEEDS.

For the destruction Of chickwceo
raking the lawns or sowing them with
salt. or both methods combined, were
found effective at the Vermont station
The application of two quarts of salt
TO the square rod, followed by thor.
6ugh ralsing Of the chickweed and a
liberal sowing Of grass seed, was com.
pletely successful in exterminating
chickweed and in securing full stand
of grass. 1t is suggested that where
salt is used on a lawn it should be
done cautiously on small scale, as the
effects will vary in different soils
and seasons. For the eradication of
the crab grass the authors Of recent
bulletin suggest care In selection of
seed to avoid the introduction of this
plant which is an annual; the use Of
grass seed, fertilizer and water freely
SO as to keep the grass in vigorous
growth; and the hand wedding of thu
crab grass IL it should appear.

CLEMATIs.

The most general methods OF propa
eating clematis are by means OF cut
ting and layering. In the first Of the
two methods OF increase, cuttings OF
the side shoots are taken when the
wood is moderately firm. and inserted
in pots, pans or boxes, and placed In a
frame or under a handlight. The pots
should, as n matter Of course, be well
drained and be filled with a mixture
Of loan, leaf.mold and sand. The cut
tings must be kept close and shaded
until they are able to bear exposure
without the lenves tagging. The pre-
ferable course ia to place the cuttings
in a frame or under handlights occupy
Ing a shady position, as the conditions
are more favorable to them, and the
labor involved in covering and uncover
Ing is avoided. Layering should be
done as early as the state of the wood
will allow, probably from the middle Of
August to the latter part Of Septamber.
Shoots Of the current season. should be
selected when moderately Arm, and at
point suitable for burying the stem
In the border q longitudinal cut should
be made in the stem. The best plan
is to enter the knife about one and
a-half inches below a joint. AID then
make slnnting cut extending to the
joint, and from one-half to two.thirds
through the stem. The cut portion Of
the stem is then to be laid In a small
trench about two inches In depth,
liked In position with a peg OF n mod
crate degree OF strength and covered
with soil. II the soil Of the garden 10
naturally heavy, provide a little light
sandy soil, such as the refuse from
the potting bench, in which to lay the
shoots. 10 prevent the tongues closing
small potsherd may be inserted In
each cut as the shoot is being layed.-

STRAWBERRY BEDS.

It is often possible to increase the
area of strawberry plants wholly from
the old beds, and If a proper selection
Of young plants is made there is con-
siderable saving effected in this way.
Sometimes plants are selected that
pre weak In vitality solely because they
are the last plant grown by the parent
In selecting layer plants from an old
bed the stronger shoots, those near
the parent plant, should be selected,
and it viii pay to go over the planta'
ton several times during the summer,
selecting the plants whic hare to be
afterward used, and as runners shoot
out beyond these particular plants clip
them of. Care should also De used to
select as the parents those plants
which are strong and healthy.
Carrying the plan Of selection even
farther back, many growers do not
permit the plants from which shoots
or layer plants are to be selected to
grow full crop Of berries the previous
season. Every effort is made to have
the young plants as healthy and full OF
vitality as is possible, so that the
young plants will be equally as good
and bear transplanting well, yielding
a heavy crop the season after setting
out. This plan may be put in opera
ton now, so far as pinching back the
shoots is concerned, and allowing the
parent plant to get but two or three
plants, which are to be dug either this
fall or next spring for trNnsNlonting.-

Substitutes for coal have for many

Grafton, and among them also corn,
this last particularly having been
spoken OF as something quite new,
though, as a matter of fact, corn has
for long time been used as fuel
in the farming districts of the West
ern sections of the United States,
and that, too, with very satisfactory
results.
In general way II was recognized
there that when corn was abundant
and cheap and coal was expensive,
the former made cheaper fuel than
the latter, although no scientific de-
termination of their relative eff
cheney had been made until a short
time ago, when tests were made by
the Department of Agriculture OF the
University of Nebraska. These show.

ing the heat that could be obtained
from the stalk. Since n ton OF good
coal will give up from about 100000
600 to 100000 units an acre of
ground in each year capable of pro-
ducing fuel which is equal to from
0.S7 or 1928 to liza or 2.56 tons Of
coal. The stalk will probably In
crease this amount by one.fourth or
one.third.
The experience gained from boiler
tests with corn fuel made II appear
doubtful whether corn would be prac-
ticable fuel for the generation Of
power, unless II were burned In some
special furnace that would insure the
perfect combustion of the volatile
matter which forms so large a per-
centage OF the whole corn, and wnlch
is driven off at a comparatively low
heat. Some form Of automatic stoker
would also be desirable, since the
corn burns rapidly and must be fire.
quietly fired, making the work Of the
fireman very arduous, and at the
same time tending to cause incom-
plete combustion by the excess Of
cold air entering through the fire
door. Undoubtedly, corn may, at
times, be a cheap and economical
fuel for domestic use. 1t is cleaner
aad more easily handled than coal
and contains but very small amount
Of ash. 1t burns rapidly with an In
tense heat, and this is apt to be de-
structive to the cast iron Innings Of
the stove. Here, again, therefore,
some special form Of firebox, that will
not be injured by the heat and that
will utilize as much of the heat as
possible, should be used.-Cassier's
