Description of a Pulverizer.

d. Il. Shaw sends the Ohio Farmer
this description Of a puverizer, which
he says will enable any one Interested
to make the implement:
The handles are seldom needed to
lift the harrow, but l found the left
one struck the plOw beam every once
in a while when the harrow wanted to
tip over too far from any cause. For
this purpose had to brace the handles
quite wide apart (4O inches), too far for
use in corn rows, but they can be placed
in or out as occasion requires, by SUBJ
shutting another round between the
handles. Near the rear at the left Is
a crooked steel or iron rod Is or inch,
bent as indicated, to rub on bottom and
side of furrow and fastened to harrow
by going diagonally from lowepoutside
corner to upper inside corner. with nut
to hold 1t.
The teeth l used were not all knife
shaped like the one illustrated, yet
think 1t would be well to make them
all Of this style, as holes can then be
bored perpendicular any place you find
they are needed or work best, and
change them very easily with only n
wrench to unscrew the nut. The holes
should be large enough so they will
slip in or out easily, as they can be
screwed up tight to hold them in the
direction desired.
This little harrow is attached to the
singletree Of the horse in the furrow
with the short chain, so that 1t will
harrow the furrow turned the round
before, working just forward Of the
furrow being turned by the plow. This

Women Too Lightly Won.

Sordid and commonplace? Perhaps,
to those who know nothing Of the mis-
cries Of mismated couples. Home and
family require money, and it's possess
sion will not prevent a growth Of sen.
timent. Make the body comforta BILE
and the soul will find its peace without
much difficulty. Mind you, l am not
advocating marriage for money, but
am strongly In favor Of something sub.
stantial on which to build the new
life. And that Is not all, for congen-
iality is absolutely necessary to make
the life Of two beings, no matter what
sex, livable within the narrow confines
Of home. There Is altogether too
much sentimentalty in American
women. 1t permits them to overlook
the estimable qualities Of their own
husbands and overestimate those Of
other men whom they have not tested.
The same charge can be laid up
against men. and somebody Is to blame
for the serious state of affairs. Per-
haps women are too lightly won. too
eager to accept the first masculine
hand extended to them. 1t Is abso-
lutely true that when a man inserts a
matrimonial advertisement in any kind
Of Il paper, even the most obscure, it
is found by feminine eyes and is met
with an overwhelming number Of an
swers. The winner of such a PROPOSE
ton generally has cause to rue her
luck. but l can find precious little
sympathy for her. The stock Of good
men has not yet been exhausted; so
why put up with limitations, and pretty
bad ones at that? l can see some real
~ justifiable reasons for divorce, but
they are mere drop ip the ocean Of
applications. Where Is the remedy? In
common sense, my friends.-Betty
Bradeen in the Boston Traveller.

A LYRIC.

uow fair it is, the world around,
The changing life; each days surprise,
70 see the stars, the land, the sea,
To look into your eyes.
To hear the ecstasy of morn,
The birds in field and wood rejoice,
The madrigals of wind and trees,
To listen to your voice.
To feel the warm, firm, throbbng life.
The friendly hands our fingers press,
The strong, true work in which we share
To feel your soft caress.
How fair it is, the world around,
How wonderful and sweet the past
That knows its ecstasy and work,
That knows your loving heart.

ton, and that the virus of foot and
mouth disease be kept attenuated or

The Improved Farm Grounds.
1t does not necessarily mean heavy
expenses and a vast deal of labor to
improve the grounds around the farm
home. but such improvement would
add greatly to the value Of the place,
to say nothing of the addition to Its
beauty. The first thing to be done
Is to get a good lawn. the background
Of the picture. Hollows should be
filled In and hummOcks leveled so as
to obtain a smooth surface. though
not fiat one unless the ground Is
naturally fiat. If the space for the
lawn has been properly seeded, all
necessary to do now Is a little reseed-
ing. If. however. the lawn is really
nothing but meadow. it should be
plowed up and properly seeded down,
using a good lawn mixture which can
be obtained from any reputable seeds
man. This done, set one or two or
even three ornamental trees, such as
cut-leaf birch, purple-leaf beech, or
even the common rock or sugar
naples. Then provide one corner Of
the plot for a clump of shrubs rather
than dotting the shrubs over the
grounds. Weigelias. altheas calycan-
thus, viburnum. forsythia and syringa
are among the shrubs suitable for such
plot, and they are moderate in price.
A border for Towering plants may be
made along the walk or near the
house. and in this border may be set
hardy perennials or some of the flow
erlng ANNALS of which one is fond.
If this plan Is too elaborate for the
first season, then confine the work
to getting n good lawn and next year
go on and add the other features.
Three years. work of this kind will
make a wonderful change in the APP
pearance of the grounds at an expense
so small one will wonder why the
work was not done before.-Indiana-
polls News.

Farm Notes,

Be very careful and do not put fifteen
larfe eggs under a hen unless she can
easily cover them. This is where many
fail in early spring. Some hens should
not have more than eleven.
According to the United States CEN
sus report, the hens Of this country
average 100 eggs per year. Some egg
producing contests last year showed
that hen can be induced to lay $50
eggs in year. There is a great deal OF
difference between what the hens are
doing and what they could do.
The small farmer should produce the
best horses, as he is better prepared to
carefully mature the two or three colts
under his care, and by handling them
constantly they are educated to work:
but most farmers do not appreciate
their advantage: they raise the scrubs
and let the larger dealers raise those
from which the most money is made.

Hints on Furnishing.


Hints on Furnishing.
There are few general points in
the furnishing Of boys room that
may be well to bear in mind, says the
Washington Times. On the floor
should be good ingram carpet Of a
cheerful tone-almost every boy likes
red. The furniture need not be ex-
pensive, but 1t must be strong. The
sofa may be an old one, but should
be covered with some durable material
wear and tear. Cushions? OF course!
What boy was there who ever owned
a sofa and didn't clamor for cushions ?
Have them Of gay colors. but see that
they blend with the rest Of the room
1t is a mistaken idea to imagine that
these little things will not be noticed
by the boy and tell on his taste in the
long run. We are all affected, per
haps unconsciously. by our environ
ments, and just because 1t happens to
be "only the boys room." there Is no
earthly reason why 1t should not be
IIiitue us ATTRACTIVE anu comfortable us
possible.
The average boy loves light, and
does not care for heavy curtains at his
windows. One boy-a cousin of the
wrlter-has fine cheese cloth curtains
close to the windows. tied back with
bow at each end. These. Of course
only come to the ledge. Within are
curtains Of turkey red. which hang In
straight lines to the floor. They are
light and cheerful in tone, and add
especially to the beauty Of the room.
See that the Illuminating qualities
are good in the boys room. Gas fix
lures are, as rule. so placed that
they are Of little service to the young
fellow working at his desk. A stu
dents lamp Is excellent; so Is bracket
one. The latter may not add especial
ly to the beauty Of the room, but Is
useful. and what is still more to be
considered-safe
These are few hints In the furnish
ing Of the boys room-the details will
have to be added according to the indi-
vidual taste Of its owner.

Rotate Against Insects.
Rotation Of crops has a beneficial
effect upon the yields Of grain or for
age from the land. This changing of
crops has an important bearing upon
the Injurious insects that infest par
ticular crop. The chinch bug. the
strawberry beetle. the Colorado potato
bug, the hessian fly and doubtless
many other injurious insects that at
tack farm crops become much more
destructive where continuous plant
ing of crop in one place Is practiced.
The hessian fly prefers to live In the
field that goes into wheat each year.
The potato bug in the old patch will
often beat the earliest planting of po-
tatoes out Of the ground. and appar-
emily wait several days to get bite
at the first tender shoot that breaks
through the ground.
The new potato ground will very
OIten grow IL CIOp NltHout tuc SllSHt-
est injury from the bugs. Potato
scab will live in the soil and attack
the crop grown there the succeeding
year. 1t Is often good plan to intro
duce a new crop into the ground one
season, selecting new site for grow
ing the garden products.

preventing the disease it Is urged that

Indications of a Good Mixer.

Good respiration is essential to n
good milk flow. In making choice Of
a COW see that the chest is long and
the ribs set far apart to give lung
capacity. Large. tOrtuous milk veins
are always present with the good
mixer. A dull-eyed COW seldom proves
a good milk COW. A hollow back Is
a sign of poor breeding, or fastened
maturity.
The neck of good mixer Is deli
and a little out of proportion as to
length. Hind quarters must be heavy
and set well apart. A COW wit. ,
