HOMEMADE LAMP SHADES.
They Are Dainty Ornaments and Quite
Easily Manufactured by the
Veriest Novice.

Homemade lamp and candle shades
are quite the thing once more. The
pretty candle shade here illustrated
may be easily manufactured by the
novice and is dainty ornament. Cut
a piece of stiff paper, in circular shape,
and of the depth desired, and glue the
two ends together, thus making a
foundation. Cover this neatly, inside

LONG DISTANCE FARMING.
Secretary Wilson Is Hard at Work
to Develop Horticulture in
the Philippines.

The department of agriculture at
Washington is now engaged in long
distance farming. 1t is a big contract
to develop the agricultural resources of
the Philippines, but such is the task
which Secretary Wilson and his assist
ants have undertaken. An experiment
station has been built at Malate, and
the main Office of the department in
the islands is located at Manila. At
these points some of the best experts

BAG-HOLDER FOR FARM USE
Equal to Those Sold in Stores and

Trifling Expense.

Various different bag-holders are to
be found at the hardware stores, but
many farmers do not invest in all the
conveniences for obvious reasons. The
bag-holder illustrated here can be made
in little while by any one who can
handle tools at all.
The strips of lumber may be about
two inches wide, and the up-and-down

The Adjudication of Manure.

We have now learned that manure
should be hauled direct from the sta

It is a mistake to allow it to decay
for months, thus permitting to escape
into the air and the water the most
important parts Of the fertility it con-
tains.

Catarrh of one organ is exactly the

Percentage Of
Nutriment-

Those who crave meat may find
partial substitute in milk, cheese, and
eggs, and no one need fear that his
health will suffer if he is forced to
subsist on vegetable diet for a time.
On the contrary, many common forms
of disease will be greatly diminished by
a natural diet-for nature never intend
ed man to eat flesh.

How to Treat Marsh Land.

The first thing to do with marsh
land that is to be cropped is to drain
it. The attempt to grow crops on wet
land is always attended with failure,
though this failure is more complete
al some times than at others.

Water is the key Of agriculture. In

have been cut short through drouth.
The more acres we can put under

better, as that is crop insurance.
