as little delay as possible shorten all
the small branches of tie limb to make
their weight as little as possible, then
carefully lift the broken limb back into
position and lash it firmly with ropes
or straps.
Now with bit or auger bore hole
through the limb and tree trunk as
suggested by the dotted line in Fig. 2.
Through this insert a bolt Of iron hay
ing head on one end and nut on the
other. Turn the nut on the end, with a
big washer beneath it, until the crack
in the break has been made as small
as possible, then cover the crack neatly
over with grating wax. Many a tree
has such a gaping wound as that
shown in A, Fig. 2. 1t is caused by
saving off a big limb and neglectfng to
protect the wound until nature could
extend a new growth of bark over it.
The new bark has begun to grow about
the edges, but the wood has decayed
within. and nature can carry growth of
bark no further.

ground around the plant, and the soil
should be kept clean, while the vines
should be benefited by having supports.
Times Are Different.

Not long ago farmer in Iowa went
to harness dealer to buy a team Of
harness. He found one that suited him
and the price was $40. The farmer
happened to remember that about a
dozen years ago he had bought a har-
ness just like it from the same dealer
for $50, and he mentioned the fact.
The dealer went to his book and found
this to be true. But" said the dealer,
my books show that you did not pay
cash for it because you did not have
the money. You hauled in 300 bushels
of corn and gave it to me for the $50
harness. Now, I'll tell you what I'll
do. If you will bring me 800 bushels
of corn [ will give you the $40 harness,
also a double buggy harness worth $50,
a single buggy harness worth S15, a
81 plush robe, a boys riding saddle
worth S., one whip and riding bride
worth $3.50, two leather halters worth
$3.50, brush and currycomb worth 81
and rawhide buggy whip worth ST.

Glover HaV.

1t is claimed that clover hay may be
baled in the field, but experiments
made are not sufficient to show the
benefits derived, compared with storing
clover in the NOW. The clover is cut
in the morning, after it is free from
dew or rain, and when well wilted the
hay tedder is used, SO as to give it ev-
cry chance to cure. In the afternoon
the hay is baled and hauled to the barn.
If this method is practiced, care must
be exercised in having the hay prop
erly cured and in just the proper con-
dition for baling, as baled clover is
more liable to heat than timothy Or
other kinds.

Growing Radishes.

No vegetable grows quicker than the
radish, and a few rows only are neces-
sary to supply quite large family.
Radishes are unfit, unless grown quick
ly and pulled at the proper time. AS
they. are ordinarily grown the family
is kept supplied from the same bed
until the radishes are hard and woody.
Instead Of so doing SOW only part of
a row at a time The way to have
them as they should be, until late in
the season, is to procure quite a num-
Der of packages, putting in the seed
from a package every week until too
late to SOW them. By pursuing this
method they may be had in a crisp, ten
der state long after the usual first crop
is hard Or gone to seed.

Growing Strawberries.

When growing strawberries for mar
ket the solidity of the berry is an i'm
portant desideratum, as a market berry
should possess good shipping qualities.
Then should follow size, brilliancy of
color and flavor. For family use the
keeping qualities are not important, the
flavor deserving more notice. 1t is not
difficult to find a superior berry, pos
sessing size and flavor, for home use.
The attention of growers is devoted
mostly to securing varieties that are
firm in texture and of large size so
as to stand shipment we'll and show at
tractively in market.

Weeds and Grass.

The earth is seemingly able to pro-
duce weeds or grass, whether fertile
or poor, and they always appear at the
same time, when the crops need the
most care. Weeds are beneficial to a
certain extent, although injurious, for
the gardener is often compelled to era
dictate them when he would otherwise
give the garden his attention. By so
doing he keeps the soil in fine, friable
condition for the desired crop. Weeds,
however, should be removed as soon
as they appear; by so doing the work
can be more easily done, and the STIR
ring of the soil will then be required
only to moderate depth.

Growing Celery.

Transplant celery to permanent beds
in May or June, placing large guam
tity of manure in the trench. This
crop is one that cannot be surfeited by
too much manure, as it is one Of the
grossest feeders known. The plants
should be frequently watered, soapsuds
being better for such purpose than any
thing else, and the beds should be kept
as clean and nice as possible. 1t re-
quires care to have celery that is large,
crisp and white, but it Is valuable
crop when grown and pays we'll for the
attention bestowed. If you neglect to
SOW the seed you can procure the
plants from seedsmen and should not
fail to have a supply.

Millet.

Millet is easily grown and thrives
we'll on all kinds Of soils, giving ex-
cellent results on sandy land if manure
is used. 1t crowds weeds out and soon
takes possession Of the land. One
point in connection with millet is not to
cut it too late. The best time is when
the seed-heads are forming. The seed
should not be allowed to mature, as
they are liable to inture horses. Cows
will thrive we'll on millet hay, Ind
horses prefer it to some kinds. There
is no surer crop than millet if the land
is in good condition.

Substitute for Paris Green.

AS is we'll known, Paris green does
not dissolve, but is held in suspension
in water, hence the water must be con-
stantly agitated to properly apply it.

mends a much cheaper mixture, which
is soluble in water. 1t is made by dis
solving two pounds of commercial

Ways of the Green Bug.

Those who have been watching the
green bugs say that they fly only on
winds blowing from the south, and the
minute the wind changes from the
south and gets in the north the bugs
alight. This was demonstrated one
evening last week, according to a Law
renee (Kan.) paper. After eight hours
of nagging, blustery south wind the air
was filled with these bugs. At o'clock
in the same evening the wind switched
to the north and the bugs disappeared.
The bugs have been coming from Texas
for two months, and on every south
wind they move orthward.-Platte

edness, you pass on into that beyond
for judgment. Nay, the fact will be
there. The illustration is often used
of men going down the Niagara River
to the falls. They may think there is
no danger there; they may not hear
gagged in absorbing sports; yet they
are nearing the awful precipice, and
their disbelief in a fall will not pre-
vent their going over to destruction
when they reach the brink of the prec-
ipice. Your belief will not save you
from future punishment, if it be a
fact; your disbelief will not save you
from 1t if it be an eternal verify.
Our minds are limited, and if we
think of God, the Mighty Spirit, who
rules the universe, doing something so
unjust as giving high Heaven to the
wicked murderer, just the same as He
gives it to the purest of earth, who has
given His life for the good Of His fell
low men, how inconsistent that idea
would be! You must know that it is
not true; your hearts tell you that it
is not true. God, the Almighty God,
cannot do that. No. Justice demands
that the good shall be loved and the
evil hated. We recognize that if the
good are to be rewarded, there must
be a heaven and if there is a heaven,
there must necessarily be a hell. Be
cause heaven is the opposite of hell,
as good is the opposite of evil, as light
is the opposite of darkness.

Garden Seeds,

Where several varieties of plants of
the same kind are grown together, it
will not be proper to save seed there
from. The different kinds of melons,
peas, sweet corn or other crops have
their pollen distributed by the winds
or by insects, and seed saved under
such circumstances will prevent uni
formity next year. The greatest care
should be observed to avoid mixing
when saving seed is the object.

Working CabbaGes,

1t is an old saying that cabbages can
not be worked too frequently. They
seem to take a fresh start every time
they are cultivated and given a good
hoeing between the plants. This is
particularly the case with late cab
bages. which have portions of the dry
season to contend with.

Inereaaed ProductIon Of saIt.

More salt was produced in the
United States in 1906 than in any
previous year, and the value Of the
product was greater than in any
year since 1890. The quantity was g.
944,13S short tons, or 2S,172.3S0 bar
rels, valued at s6,65S,S50, a gain Of
Os,s76 tons, or 2.2O6,5SS barrels, over
the production in 1905. This increase
in production was accompanied by a
slight increase in price from $1.6S to
S1.69 per ton-Dot sufficient, accord
ing to some producers, to Offset the
increased cost of labor and supplies.

other useful subjects. She makes it
a rule that the children shall be sent

when situations can be found for
them in England. The experiment

Ask for Better Anti-cruelty ReguIa-
tions in Germany.

According to the manager OF the
Berlin Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty Of Animals. an excellent or
ganization, there are no laws, ordi-
nances or police regulations in Ger
many prohibiting the use Of the check
rein on horses with the exception OF
the police ordinances Of Berlin. The
only law in Germany. as far as this
authority knows, which prohibits the
i'll treatment of animals is that con-
tanned in the imperial penal code, ac-
cording to the provisions of which any
one who publicly cruelty tortures or
maltreats an animal is liable to a fine
not exceeding 150 marks ($35.70) or
to Imprisonment Of not over six weeks.
Throwing stones or other hard bodies
or mud at animals is also punishable
by fine not exceeding so marks
($14.2S) OF an Imprisonment of not
over IA days. AS the existing statutes
are not regarded as sufficient properly
to protect animals from cruel treat
ment, the various societies for the pre-
ventation of cruelty to animals In
Germany are endeavoring to secure
the enactment Of new legislation
which would provide them with more
efficient legal support In their praise.

A leaaet published by the same So
ciety makes 1t appear that laws Of
Germany for the protection of animals
from cruelty are not as efficient as
those Of the United States. Although
the societies and even a number OF
horse breeders deprecate the use Of
the check rein, they have not been sue
cessful hitherto, with the foregoing
exception, in bringing about its abol-
ishment.
