To Preserve the currants.

September is the best month in the
year to renew the currant plantation
from cuttings or from division ofsneW
stools, Old stools may be carefully
removed and divided, so as to retain
vigorous, healthy wood and roets.
These should be cut back somewhat,
and planted at once in freshly pre-
pared garden soil, where they can be
hilied up heavily for winter.

applied to advantage, the ground be-
ing well narrowed after the fertilizer
and manure have been broadcasted
In the spring the ground may be used

Tomato Worms,

Tomato worms are frequently seen
with numerous small white objects
adhering to them, which are the eggs
of pupae or parasites which prey upon
the worms. Tomato worms thus at
tackled should not be destroyed. II
farmers will take pains to thus make
the distinction they will propagate the
friendly parasites to do the work of
destruction among insects more ef-
fectually than in any other manner
We should learn to know the insect
friends from foes and protect them.

A New Way OF Cutting Buckwheat.
A new way of cutting buckwheat
which came under my observation last
year, seems worthy the consideration
Of buckwheat raisers as time and
labor saver as well as an improve
ment On the quantity of the grain. In
stead Of cutting it with cradle and
letting it lie before raking and gath
ering up, the buckwheat was cut with
q binder and the sheares were gath
cred up and placed standing in one
corner Of the field, so that the sheaves
did not touch each other. The bands
were then cut with knife and the
grain was allowed to stand until it was
thoroughly dry, when it was hauled
into the barn.-Thomas w. Lloyd. In

apt to be as generally relished as
either iced tea or coffee. Do not make
it too rich. but use rather more water

a day when only white meats are on

Porch Teas.

Five o'clock tea is an important
feature of porch life, and some Of the
new porch furniture is designed es-
pecially for this purpose. Few people
nowadays make tea before their
guests, preferring to have 1t brought
in on a tray, says the New York Tel.
egram.
Wooden trays with brass handles
are excellent, and SO are those old
fashioned ones of jappanned tin paint'
ed in impossible roses.
The tea service should not be too
dainty, and gayly flowered china is es-
pecially adapted for this use.

A table is needed for extra cups and

Another useful piece is the muffin

property, it can be made usetui ad.
junct to the porch tea table. 1t sug.
gests mullins and scones and other
things that combine so well with the
steaming tea pot. On very warm
days iced tea should be substituted
for the hot beverage.
Garden flowers should be used in
profusion on porch, bowls, jugs and

them.

supreme court during the day that
more time would be required Tor pre-

examination of candidates for jury
duty is being prosecuted with the
greatest cafe and particular attention
is being given to the conditions of
health of the talesmen to prevent, if
possible, d repetition of the occurrence
which brought the previous trial to a
sudden termination. On that occasion
when Juror was stricken with apo
plexy it was learned that he had suf-
fered two previous shocks. The third
stroke preclnded any possibility of his
continuing duty in the jury box. This
time each talesman is questioned
closely as TO his condition of health,
In addition to the usual questions put
in such case, and the slightest init
nation as to any physical infirmity is
regarded as good ground for the exer-
cising of the right TO shallenge. In
addition TO this pltcaution medical eX-
perts are kept Csse at hand in case
it becomes necessary to make an ex-

tion of the prospective juror.
