A FEW TIMELY DoN'Ts.
What the Farmer Should Remembe:
Not to Do.

Don't throw forks farelessly on the
floors of passageways in barns. That
is a sort OF carelessness that may al
most be classed as criminal.
Don't neglect to keep all wheeled
vehicles well creased. A wheel that
cries out for lubricant is a good many
pounds added to the load of your
horse.
Don't throw forks carelessly on the
and other trimmings and refuse from
orchard, garden and truck patch, for
thereby you destroy many harmful
insects and seeds.
Don't invest any money in gold
mines. coffee plantations, copper
works and the like, thousands of miles
from your home. and managed by
men you have never seen. By taking
this advice you may possibly miss the
opportunity OF getting enormously
rich. but 1t is altogether likely that by
needing 1t you will save money enough
to buy that piano your daughter has
been wanting or the new buggy You
promised your son II he would stick
to the farm.
Don't allow any line fence squabble
or any family difference to come up to
spoil your Thanksgiving feast. 1t is
always wise rule to think twice be-
fore you speak once: and If you will
take the precaution to think three
times, you are pretty sure to get
through life without uttering any
harsh words. and that means a serene
and sweet existence which is, after
all, the only thing worth while.
Don't speak in sharp. peremptory
tones to your children. You won't al
low the hired man to use such tones
to the horses lest 1t makes them ner-
vous. nor to the cows lest it interfere
with their milk production. Your
sons and daughters are of more value
than many horses. or the cattle upon
q thousand hills.-Farm Journal

Then Atlanta society learned for the
first time that everything in the
Crutchfield home was not as 1t should
have been. There were divorce pro-

Meanwhile the wife that he had
manned was fighting for her life at the
Grady hospital. Gangrene had set in.
Her life hung in the balance. The sur
geons shook their heads. It was a
toss-up whether the wounded woman
would live or die.
Public sentiment was with the wife.
So Crutchfield's privileges were cur
tailed and he was sent to jail-the

locked In a cell. and there is likelihood
of a police investigation as to why he
was not.

A new method Of killing tree borers
is mentioned by American Agricul.
turist: "Bisulphide of carbon may be
injected into holes where the insects
are at work. The best injector is a
metal or small cheap glass syringe,
or small machine-oil can. About a
teaspoonful of bisulphide of carbon is
sufficient for each holes II injected
with some force. After injection. the
holes should be plugged with grating
wax. 1t would be difficult to treat an

taught that they might become a peo-

did not last long. The islanders wore
forbidden to trade. except with Por-

time. however. when the Azorean
