Carried His Coffin With Him.

The death of Thomas " Reynolds
at the home of Col ]. c. Evans, near
this city, which occurred a few days
ago, has brought to light facts which
are so far out of the ordinary as to
be of interest to a great many, as he
had travelled all over several states.
and will be remembered by a large
number of people.
Mr.. Reynolds was native of Henry
county, KY, and resided in Barren
county for many years. He was TWICE
married, his first wife being Miss Win
ME Greasy. She died about twenty
five years ago, and when her coffin
was made Mr. Reynolds had one made
for himself When he came here to
live three years ago he had his coffin
brought along. and in this his body
was buried-Glasgow correspondence

WATCH THE NAPLES.

This is the time of year when the
owner of soft maple trees should keep
a close watch of them to prevent the
spread of the cottony scales. The
scale insects that were born last year
have now passed through the winter
and are mature enough to lay eggs.
This is beginning at this time. Little
puggs of white cottony substance will
commence to appear at the end of the
next two months. This is the sign
by which the females may be locat-
ed. The cottony substance is the COW
ering for the eggs that are being laid
AS soon as this begins to appear, the
eggs and scale should be scNped
from the bark and destroyed. If this
is done on trees but newly affected
the check to the spread of the scale
will be permanent. Had this been
done every year the work of destroy
ing these incipient colonies would be
small and the results long lasting.
The neglect that is shown the scales
is the great reason for the destruc-
ton they have been able to do

How Spiders Make Love.

The courtship of the Salts pulex, a
spider, is described by an expert in in
sect life as a most elaborate exhibit
ton of skill and grace in dancing.
Balancing his body on his long legs.
he moves in a semi-circle for about
two inches, and then reversing the
position twists and turns in the oppo-
site direction, repeating this grotesque
figure scores of times, and pausing
every few minutes to rock from side
to side, and to bend his brilliant legs,
so that they may be brought into full
view of his admiring mate.
A similar display, but with varied
antics, marks the love-making of other
sorts of spiders, but this manner of
counting is not without it's risks, and
it may often happen that the lively
sutton, if he prolongs his performance,
or shows off his points of perfection
too persistently, is suddenly seized
and devoured by his more muscular
mate.

CROP ROTATION.

G. II. H., Round Mound, Kan.-If
not too much trouble to you, | would
like to ask you to answer this: In
crop rotation, which is the best to
follow each other in these-wheat,
corn and Eaffir corn? Would wheat
do as gooG sowed after Kaffir corn as
corn?
Of the three crops you named we
believe we would start in with KAT
fir corn, then corn and after that
wheat. For instance, plant Kaffir corn
next season, in 1906 plant corn and
then in the fall get the corn cut as
soon as possible and SOW your wheat.
We recommend this way because we
believe you would find that wheat
would do better one year with an
other, after corn than after kaffir
corn. AS general thing land is left
in better shape for the growing of
wheat after Indian corn than it is af-
ter Kaffir corn, though in this the sea-
son has something to do. Another
thing, Kaffir corn is sometimes apt
to spoil more in shock than corn If
cut as early as one would want it
for wheat if planted at the time in
the spring Kaffr corn is usually plant
ed.

Railway Accidents.

Railway experts are continually
seeking means to avoid accidents by
insuring thoroughness of construction.
A device just coming into use on the
English railways is screw used for
fastening the rails to the ties. These
are supposed to be screwed home with
a spanner, but the workmen were &C
customed to hammering them home,
saving labor, but decreasing the eff
cheney of the screw. Now screws are
made capped by a cone of soft metal.
Tive or three blows of a hammer will
fiatten this cone and result in the de-
lection of the careless employe.-New

POULTRY POINTERS.

Tarred paper makes a good lining
for nests. Vermin do not like the smell
and stay away.
Bunches of Kaffir corn make fine
food, and furnish good exercise for
chickens, old and young.
Don't hurry the old hen in coming
off. Let her stay on the nest as long
as she will remain content. 1t keeps
the chickens warm and makes them
strong.
In an experiment made by the New
York Experiment Station with feed.
ing 1t was found that chickens fed the
whole or ground grain, the ground
grain proved the more profitable. No
difference could be seen in the health.
fulness of the chicks, but those fed
the ground food grew faster and made
the most rapid increase in weight, as
did also the capons which were in
each lot fed.
Mud holes in the chicken yard
should be filled. Also all places which
are deep enough for young chicks to
get into, and not able to get out. Old
post holes are death traps for them.
1t is the practice of some to sell
their fowls as soon as disease ap-
pears. This is not right. The mer-
chant may lose, and the consumer
may, unknowingly, eat sick chickens.
Do unto others as you would be done
by.
Geese do not accommodate them
selves to each other and to their quar-
ters as readily as chickens; nor do
they breed as young. A gander to be
effective should be two or three years
old. Matings should be made early

NITRoeEN-FIxINo BACTERIA.

The fact that leguminous crops, like
peas and clover, can obtain nitrogen
directly from the atmosphere when
certain bacteria are present on the
roots has been known for long time,
and many attempts have been made to
cultivate and use these bacteria in
agricultural practice. Attention has
been called in past reports to the prog
ress the department has made in in
vestigating this problem. At the time
of the last report the reason for the
failure of former work from a practi-
cal standpoint, both in America and in
Europe, has been determined, and
new, simple, cheap, and thoroughly
satisfactory method of cultivating, dis
gathering organisms for all important
crops had been perfected. During the
past season the value of these bacteria
has been demonstrated in extensive
field tests. Good stands of clover and
alfalfa, vetch, cowpeas, ETC., have been
secured in soils where, without the
bacteria, these crops were failure.
The field work also demonstrated that
soil and seed inoculated are equally
valuable, so that either method may
be used according to convenience. AS
a result of these experiments the de-
partment is now prepared to furnish
in reasonable quantity organisms for
all the principal leguminous crops.
Patents have been applied for, COW
ering all the processes used, in order
to make them secure for general pub
lie use. In order to enlarge the scope
of this work and to carry on the neces-
sary field demonstrations, an increase
in the funds of the plant physiological
and pathological Investigations has
been included in the estimates.-Agri-

GREEN MANURE.

Green manure is the name applied
to a crop that is grown for the pur-
pose of being turned under. Some of
the lands that are exhausted to such
an extent that they will not bear good
crops of grain, yet will be found grow
ing up to some kinds of weeds. Some
times this weed crop is the best thing
that can be grown on the land, il the
farmer is smart enough to turn it
under. 1t adds humus to the soil. We
have heard of fields that were prac-
tically good for nothing, yet were re-
claimed by having the weeds plowed
under for three or more years. The
fact was that the fields were deficient
in humus and nitrogen and needed an
application of both of these, which
they got in the green manures given
in the form Of the turned under weeds.
The best green manure in most
parts of the North is the clover plant.
But COW peas and soy beans are ex-
cellent where they can be grown. All
kinds of legumes are very good for
turning under as they always add nj
trogen to the soil. Rye and such
things are sometimes used, but they
add little or nothing to the soil ex-
cept fiber, which Is not taken up by
the roots of the growing plants. at
may, however, do some good to the
soil mechanically.

SQUADS FOR MARKET.

The keeping of pigeons has become
a regular business in some sections,
comparing with ten years ago, and a
great deal of interest is now being
taken in the pigeon as source or
profit The first essential is to have
a good house and yard, and to have
the yard wired in order to confine the
birds. The house should be arranged
to permit of abundant floor-room, the
nests to be along the sides. The
Homer pigeon is largely used, an ex-
cellent mating being Dragon and
Homer. Be sure that the sexes are
equal, as pigeons pair and keep the
same nests. Mice in the nests must
be guarded against, and lice will de-
stroy all profit. Give nesting materi-
ais for the birds, and include tobacco
leaves, which will assist in keeping
lice away. Fresh Dalmation insect
powder should be freely used in the
nests on the first indication of lice,
and cleanliness must be enforced.
The yard should be at least ten feet
high, of any size preferred, and should
have roosting poles at different
heights, of which the birds may alight.
Keep a salt Goldfish hung where the
birds can have access thereto, supply
gravel, coarsely ground oyster shells,
ground bone, wheat, cracked corn,
sorghum seed, millet seed and green
food of some kind, as the birds will
help themselves to what is desired by
them. The squads are sold when well
feathered. are dry picked, marketed
by express and bring from two dollars
and fifty cents to four dollars and fif-
ty cents dozen, February being the
month of highest price. The rapid
ity Of growth depends upon the food
and care. About eight pairs of squads
year may be expected, depending on
mode of management.

WEED KILLER AND RAIN SAVER

One of the best tools to use in the
garden during drought is what we
call a boat, writes an Illinois garden
err. 1t is little boat three feet long
by two feet wide. Any man who can
use saw and Ratchet can make one
in an hour, and the whole cost would
not exceed thirty cents. To make it
take two pieces of hard wood three
feet long, one and half inches thick
by eight inches wide. Slant up at one
end, like sled runner, and plank
crosswise with planks one inch thick
and two feet long. Nail on two old
pillow handles. In the inside nail on
a strong piece of hard wood. on the
top, at the nose, to attach the clevis
to, and the thing is done.
To use it, load it down with stone
to suit the case Toward the last Gull
tivation given put the finishing
touches on with the boat. Should
there be some light rains, enough to
form crust on top, run the boat
again. Any weeds that may have start
ed will be entirely destroyed, and the
earth will be so compacted that it will
form mulch on the top of the soil.
1t seems to make the moisture rise by
capillary attraction. This little SIM
pie tool, l believe, is used only in
southern Illinois, as far as know Let
any man try it in time of drought.
and, my word for it, he will be pleas
ed with it. 1t can be run within
three inches of the plants on each side
and will not disturb the roots in the
least.
