Everybody is familiar with the
pleasant odor that Russia leather
has, but perhaps few persons know
to what the odor is due. 1t comes
from the birch bark used in tanning
the leather. Those who ought to
know about such things say that the
odor is specific against moths and
other insects and that a few books
bound in Russia leather will keep a
bookcase free from all such pests.

It Is strange all the things that they hear

And these things very often they tell,
For they fly round at night when you lit

And they whisper the things that befell.

or rude,
BY some means your mamma will have
heard;
If "a little bird told me" she says when
you ask,
It's that telephone telegraph bird.

prises and gifts
To himself he will carefully keep,
And he'll even help out with suggestions
and hints
Whispered low in your ear while you
sleep.
But II mischief you plan or do wrong on
the sly,
Pd advise you to think of 1t twice,
For that birds bound to know, and, az
sure as can be,
He will tell on you. too In a trice.

Toast Better Than Bread.

Toast is better as an article Of
diet than ordinary bread, says
Health, for the simple reason that
it is better cooked and therefore
more easily digestcd The toasting
destroys the life Of the yeast and
eliminates some of the harmful
products Of yeast fermentation, and
the action Of the heart converts the
starch into a more digestible sub
stance.

To Relieve Inaomnia.

A very simple method Of inducing
sleep in cases of persistent insomnia
and one that has succeeded where
many drugs have failed is to simply
administer moderate amount Of
liquid food before the patient goes
to bed. This diverts the blood from
the brain TO the abdominal organs
and takes away the cerebral excite
ment that precludes sleep.

RENoVATE THE OLD ORCHARD.

Prof. John Craig says: There are
many old and some middle,aged Or
chards, once profitable, but now
sources OF loss. At the same time,
there are men in this state who are
investing labor and capital in reno
Iating such orchards, and find 1t a
paying business. viii it not pay some
Of us who have land occupied by neg
lected and unprOductive apple trees to
give them another and a fair chance?
Let me outline course Of treatment
for such trees for this season.
|. The trees need pruning. This
should be done at once. First, take
out all the dead, diseased and inte.
fering branches; remove all suckers
and sprouts from the bases and trunks
of the trees. Second, scrape off the
toughest of the old bark with an old
hoe or other suitable tool, being care
full not to injure or expose the live
parts beneath.
2. The trees need spraying. The
first spray should be given before the
buds burst. Use Bordeaux mixture.
Consult spray calendar. Continue the
spraying as directed.
3. The trees need tillage. The sod
should be thoroughly pulverized. This
may be accomplished, if the sod is
not tough, by using a springtooth har-
row or disc harrow. If sod is tough,
and dense, turn it over with a ploW
and work down fine with a harrow.
Plow away from trees, and as shallow
as plowible near them. Till at least
once in ten days up to the middle OF
July.
4. The trees need fertilizing. Fer
tilizerS may be furnished through
green manures. During the last half
of July, harrow and drill COW peas
(WhippoOrwill or BlaCkeye) at the
rate of one and a half bushels per acre.
If drilling is impracticable, broadcast,
rolling the ground afterwards. The
interest IN the experiment may be In
creased by using different cover crops;
for instance, COW peas on one part,
Canada peas on another, and crimson
clover on a third.
5. Record your observations. In Or
der to obtain an accurate idea of the
value Of the experiment, profit-and-
loss account should be kept. Charge
the field with cost of labor and mate
rials used, and credit it with the re-
turns. An immediate response in the
way OF crop of fruit should not be
expected-this should come the Sec
ond year-but the trees will, in the
meantime, take on renewed vigor and
appearance of health.

Hard to Find Woodcock Nest.

There are few more difficult things
to detect in Nature than a woodcock
sitting on her nest. So well does the
dappled plumage of the bird harmon.
ize with the dead leaves of which the
nest is composed. or, it may be, with
the withered bracken that oyerhangs
it, that 1t is hard to make out much
more than the sitting birds darkly
barred head and bright black eyes;
to trace the outline of the body is i'm
possible. Nor Is it easy to find the
nest when the bird is absent, for the
cream colored eggs speckled with
brown are so like in color to the nest
in which they lie that an unframed
eye would wander over them without
detecting them. - London Daily
Graphic.

GROWING ASPARAGUS.

A grower Of asparagus writes: First
of all, l have to say that, if | had a
piece of warm, sandy, well-drained

would think the best time to start an
asparagus patch is now, at once, with.
out more delay than necessary to Sc
cure lot of good plants, after the
spring growth starts. Usually would
prefer to grow my own plants, and
grow them in good, rich loan, and
properly pushed and thinned in order
to get good, large, one-year.old plants.
which l think are far better than the
average run of tWo-year-old plants
that one can buy.
| make the ground very rich: in
fact, it cannot be made too rich I
give each plant plenty of room, not
less than a dozen square feet.
plant them deep, so a shallow run.
ming plow will not injure the crown.
To renew an old plantation, plow it
over shallow, applying manure or any
good commercial vegetable or potato
manure containing a good percentage
Of potash. Any of our standard varie-
ties may be used.
Palmetto seems more reliable than
others to resist the rust attacks. Co.
lumbia Mammoth White is good, and
Conover's Colossal one which can be
depended on.
If you wish to raise your own
plants next year, SOW the seed thinly
in drills, the drills being foot OF
fourteen inches apart, by hand Oh
with the garden drill. Do this early
in the spring, while the ground is yet
quite moist. The seeds are large and
hard and require good deal of moist
ure to germinate.
In dry time the seed may be
soaked for a few hours in hot water
1t will then sprout much more prompt
ly. Clipping a corner of the hare
she'll off each seed will serve to has
ten the process of germination.-Ed
