DIAMOND DEALERS MISTAKE
One of His Own Gems, But He
Failed to Recognize the
Sparkler.

"Will you please examine this dia-
mond," said man who had stepped
into a jewelers. shop, ''and tell me
what you think of it? If it is good
stone, l think | will buy it."
The jeweler took the gem, which
was unset, and looked at it critically
for moment. Then in a confidential
tone he said:
We'll, to tell you the truth, that
isn't very good stone. 1t hasn't much
fire, 1t is badly cut, and there is some
thing here very much like a flaw"
Then he held the diamond under mi
croscope and examined it carefully,
finally observing: mo, 1t isn't exactly
flaw, but | shouldn't call it a per-
pect stone. Now, il you want some
thing really fine, here"
Excuse me-" the other man inter
rupted. II don't think III buy a dia-
mon6 to-day. This is diamond that
one of your assistants let me take Sat-
urday on approval l deposited $40 on
1t. Please let me have my money,
and we will declare the deal off,"

BITS FOR BACHELORS.

Many men think themselves self
made who are really marriage-made
The man who avoids matrimony on
account of the cares of welded life
rivals the wiseacre who secured him.
self against corns by having his legs
amputated.
Don't marry for beauty alone. Soc
rates called beauty "a short-lived tyr
amy" and Theophrastus pronounced
it "a silent cheat" The man who
marries for beauty alone is as silly
as the man who would buy house be-
cause it had fine flowers in the front
garden.
1t is in life as It is with a kite; 1t
will not fly very high until it has a
string tying it down. And so the man
who is tied down by half a dozen re-
sponsibilities and their mother will
make Il higher and stronger fight than
the bachelor who, having nothing to
keep him steady, is always floundering
In the mud.

THE MARKER FOR ORCHARD

When you have your ground, say 10
acres more or less, ready, establish
base lines, writes a Michigan orchard
ist to the Rural New Yorker. Then
draw this wheel from one tree point
to one on opposite side of field back
and forth, until marked one way.
Then mark the field the other way,
and at the point where the wheel
marks cross is the place for tree.
The hole is to be dug there, and the
tree is to be set on a line each way
with the mark. Not a stake need be
set except to go by in marking. One
man can work ground for 900 trees
in eight hours, and the trees will be
in perfect line each way. Any man
who can follow the line of two stakes
can do the marking. A variation Of
a mans body from side to side does
not affect the wheel or 10 feet back,
and the wheel mark is so unlike any
other mark that there is no danger
Of losing the line. In setting 1,400
peach trees I saved at least $40 by
this method, beside having every tree
exactly in line.

FIGHTING CANKER WORMS.
Interesting Experiment by Prof.
Slingerland at Cornell
University.

The class taking advanced work in
economic entomology at Cornell, N. Y,
made an interesting experiment,
writes Prof. Slingerland in the Cornell
Countryman.
For several years group of large
elm trees about mile from the uni
versity campus have been nearly de-
foliated by hordes of spring canSer-
worm caterpillars. These little meas
uring-worms hatch in May from eggs
laid on the bark by moths that emerge
in March and April from pupae in the
soil beneath the trees.
The male moths have well-developed
wings and fly readily, but the females
are wingless and are thus obliged to
crawl up the trees and deposit their
eggs on the bark of the branches. The
ascent is always made at night. Vari-
GUS devices, such as sticky bands, and
wire, tin or stiff paper barriers, have
been used on the trunks of trees to
| prevent the ascent of the wingless fe-
male moths.
Recently a fy-paper manufacturer
has made a tree-tanglefoot mixture,
and with a liberal sample furnished
by the firm, several Of the infested
elm trees were treated. One tree was
more than two feet in diameter and
the bark was very rough. 1t took sew
eral pounds of the tanglefoot to make
a complete band six or eight inches
wide around the trunk, several feet
from the ground. The application was
made on March 10, just before the
moths began running" up the trees.
Great masses of the wingless fe-
male moths were found March 81 on
the lower edge of the sticky band, and
thousands of flying males were caught
all over the band. A few females
were able to get over the band where
dead males had formed narrow bridges
across the tanglefoot, Several pints
or many thousands of the females
were caught and killed by the band
on this one large tree. AS each fe-
male may lay 200 or more eggs, the
tree was relieved from feeding hun
dreds of thousands of ranker-worms
in May. The experiment was thus a
striking success and has furnished a
valuable object lesson.
Yes, and it should furnish a useful
| object lesson to the farmer. The
spring spring canker-worm often at
/ tacks other trees besides elms-apple
trees, for instance. If the tanglefoot
preparation is not readily obtainable,
other sticky substances may be used.
Tar, printers ink, thick molasses,
bird-lime, or bands of fy-paper, are
all more or less useful for the pur-
pose.
If fiy-paper is used, remember that
it should be at least five inches wide.
and must fit close to the bark. On
rough-bark trees, the bark must either
be scraped smooth where the band is
to go, or all depressions must be filled
with clay or putty, so as to make a
smooth surface on which to fasten the
sticky hand.

GIVE THE BOY A ROOM.
Let the Boy Have Retreat of His
Own Which He May Arrange to
Suit His Own Tastes.

You say it is too expensive to give
each boy a room for his hobbies and
belongings, but after all it will not
cost as much as the Turkish rugs ana
costly furniture you are thinking OF
buying for the parlor this spring. Do
you owe most to your neighbors, or to
your own bright noisy boys.
We wish that every boy might have
a room of his own, and be responsible
for it's care. The floor should be Of
hardwood and uncarpeted, the furni-
ture solid and substantial. Let the
boy have it decorated according to his
own fancy. 1t will be interesting to
watch the growth of his artictic ideas.
There should be bookcase, or desk,
a big solid table in the middle OF the
room, with plenty of space for Sans
printing press or Roberts box of tools
or checkers and chessboards and other
allowed to invite their friends to come
to this room, and now and then treat
may be provided for them.
No doubt some one will ask what is
the use of spelling boys in this way,
or of furnishing them with company
and games.
Simply because they will have the
amusement, the games and the COM
pany somewhere; and where is more
suitable place than under the parental
roof? No money can be wasted which
is spent in developing boys charac.
ter or which makes his home and fam
lily more dear to him.
Can you expect your boy to be char
liable when you do not hesitate to talk
before him OF your neighbor?
Can you expect your boy to be free
from envy when, in a fault finding
way you compare your circumstances
with those Of your richer neighbor?
Can you expect your boy to tell the
truth, when to save little trouble you
tell a falsehood?
Can you expect your boy to be re-
spectful to you when he hears you
laugh at another's peculiarities?
Can you expect your boys religion
to be one to live by when he can see
that 1t has no part in your daily life7
