The cultivation OF pretty speaking
voice is a practice growing among
women in this country. One physi-
clan who makes a speciality of treating
the voice is putting his patients who
have this end in view on a diet of
fruits which have a very soothing ef-
feet upon the throat and vocal chords.
Much Of the unpleasant quality noted
in womens voices is due to the effect
Of the dampness Of the climate.
One of the most valuable of fruits
for this purpose is he pineapple,
now in its most perfect condition. For
tonsilitis and quinsy the fresh fruit
or even the canned variety is pre-
scribed
Tomatoes are thought to help in
giving a smooth. mellow voice. One
Or two a day should be eaten raw.
Oranges, lines and lemons are also
effective in rendering a hoarse. piping
voice soft and flexible.

practice which every farm hand and
farmers boy ought to have. Milking
S An art which every farm boy ex-
pects to learn by long practice. Scuf-
ae-hoeing is another art worthy OF
Just as much attention.
The line Of distinction between
scuffie hoes and wheel hoes is rather
hard to draw A wheel hoe is simply
a scuffie hoe with a wheel on, which
OF course is simple definition. The
various kinds Of wheel hoes that have
been used in this country, however,
have been considerably improved in
recent years. AS a rule, it is best TO
Ielect those machines having wheels
tf the largest diameter. The one
Which the writer finds altogether best
mas wheel 80 inches in diameter, the
ordinary size being 16 or is inches.
The large wheel runs more steadily
and has a lighter draft. In some cir
cumstances the double-wheel hoe is
still employed for working on two
sides of the row of plants at once.
In very clean ground with straight
rows Of small plants this tool can be
used to considerable advantage; but
as a rule, the single-wheel hoes are
easier to operate and do better work.
In using all these tools it must be
remembered that their purpose is
chiefly to keep the top soil stirred. II
they are used with sufficient frequen-
ey-that is to say. at least once a
week, they will prevent weeds from
becoming established. As rule these
tools, with the exception Cf an or
dinary hoe. are not very satisfactory
in dealing with large weeds after they
become established. The principle on
which their successful use depends is
early. frequent and thorough work.
