Hoed Crops i'm the Orchard.
The best orchardists are averse to
growing anything in the orchards but
the trees even when the latter are
young. They argue, and properly, that
the growing trees need all the virtue
there is in the soil and that If the ap-
pie crops In future years are to be Of
any value they must be provided for
during the earlier years of the trees.
There are fruit growers, on the other
hand, who insist that hoed crop will
be Of benefit to the trees, and that this
may be consireded SO under certain
conditions and up to certain limits.
If the Soil In the orchard is kept up
to the highest state of fertility SO that
the trees will not suffer the want Of
the portion Of the fertilizer taken by
the hoed crop, then the latter can do
no harm, indeed, it will be of value
because the soil will receive a certain
amount of cultivation which, perhaps
would not be given it if 1t were not
for the hoed crop. Work the hoed
crop in the orchard cautiously, and
watch the effect on the trees.

Beer Barrels Bombard House.

An extraordinary accident occurred in
IsIington recently. A horse drawing a
brewers dray laden with barrels of beer
got beyond control of the driver while
going down hill and, dashing into Rodney
street at a wild gallop. charged into
some iron ratings in front of the area of
10 Rodney street
The ratings gave way and the horse
and dray tumbled into the area. Some
of the barrels crashed through the win
dow of No. 10 into a room where Il man
named Bowden was at dinner with his
four children and his sister-in-law, and
injured Bowden about the head. His
wife and q baby were in bed on the
further side of the room, and would
probably have been killed by one barrel
had it not been stopped by the chair
in which Bowden sat.
The interior of the room was partial
ly wrecked, furniture and crockery being
smashed and a large hole made in the
floor. The driver of the dray was taken
to the hospital. The horse was instantly
killed.-London Daily Graphic.

disk harrow while it had the tongue on
it, thus tells how he improved it:
l have been using my disk harrow

tongue off just ahead of the evener.
I find that this is very much more
satisfactory than to use with the
tongue: in turning all the horses help

Pigs Do Well OH Alfalfa.

When your pigs weigh about fifty
pounds each, turn about twenty-five
head in an acre of alfalfa pasture and
they will make Il gain Of about 100
pounds each during the growing season,
says an Indiana farmer. They Will
need no other feed, but can be given Il
supplementary feed of grain if you
wish the gain to be better. From this
you can figure up a fine return for the
use of an acre of alfalfa-2,5O0 pounds
of pork, worth at the low figure OF 81
per 100 pounds, $100. But prices are
much higher now and You can get
more for your pork. Again your hogs
will almost always be free from any
disease.

THE BABY'S TEETH.
They Make Trouble for Everybody-How
to Ease a Trying Time


When the baby is teethng, the diges-
tive organs are being prepared to take
the different kinds Of food and unless
the child be very healthy. the nervous
system is liable to be more or less irri-
tated. Owing TO the conditions at this
time, says Good Health, the food should
be changed gradually, and the child kept
In as good physical condition as posi-
bic.
The drooling so commonly seen at this
time is q provision of nature, and is
cooling to the gums. One may expect
TO find the gums in an infamed condi-
ton. Frequent swabbing of the parts
with cool water, and the application of
q weak solution of mentho, locally,
usually reduces the fever, and leaves a
cooling sensation.
When the gums become dry and white
and the baby seems to be irritable, the
child should be taken to a dentist or Il
physician and the gums lanced thorough
ly, which will give relief. There is not
much pain connected with the opera
ton
The baby teeth should be kept in re-
pair, and allowed to remain the full
length of time in order to give the right
path for the permanent teeth which are
to take their place.
