Good Tools Needed.

A good farmer needs good tools, and
good tools deserve a good tool house,
which means one with plenty of room
to use the tools as we'll as to keep them
handy and safe. A large, well-stocked
tool house goes far to solve the rainy
day problem. If the farmer and his
men are handy with tools there will
be plenty of work for all weathers and
at all times of the year. Almost any
body may easily become a good enough
carpenter, blacksmith, painter, harness
maker and plumber; that is, good
enough for farm emergencies and for
use of time that would otherwise be
wasted Lack of convenient tools and
place to use them is all that prevents
saving many a dollar.-American Gull

The Rose in History.

When the captive Jews in Babylon
hung their harps upon the willows,
the air was sweet with the fragrance
of growing roses; and upon returning
to their own land, the eXiles are
said to have carried with them seeds
of the flowers, which had frightened
their captivity. Thus Syria became
the home of roses. Even the name
of this country is derived, according
to some philologists, from "Seri,'
meaning "a wild rose" In the Sans
krit,the Oldest of Hindoo myths de-
clares that Vishnu found his wife in
the heart of rose. Since the days
of Vishnu, many another has found
his wife, If not in the heart of rose,
by means of a rose. "My love l
speak in flowers" and the rosebud
has been especially iatrusted with
the lovers message.-The Circle.

by their instruction, an annual pass
was seEt to the honest patron, to-
gether with letter couched in compli-
mentary terms. The recipient must
have recounted his experience to his

PRUNING Fruit Trees,

Begin early in the life of the tree
to shape 1t. A young tree should con-
sist of central leader with the main
branches distributed evenly about it,
forming a well-balanced head. On no
account should a tree be set with de-
cided fork in the trunk. The point at
which a limb should be removed is
just at the upper part of the shoulder,
which will be at the base of each limb
where it joins the main trunk. If we
cut closely, the size of the wound is in
creased without in any appreciable ex-
tent decreasing the size of the stub. If
the cutting is further from the tree,
the scar is still the same size, and a
long stub is left over which it will take
a tree years to grow.
If possible, avoid removing large
limbs; and the best way to do this is
to begin when the tree is young and
prune it Systematically and carefully.
If it is necessary to remove a large
limb, use saw, cutting it short dis
tance from the bottom first, then saw
uONh llOll dDONt, anu lHe llHlD can
be removed without fear of splitting off
below. Large wounds should be re-
moved without fear of splitting off
below. Large wounds should be
smoothed over with knife, then COW
cred with gum shellac dissolved in al
cohol.
In a general way, summer pruning
promotes fruitfulness, while If wood
growth is desired, prune in winter The
explanation of this is that great growth
and great fruitfulness do not 60 to-
gether. A plant must reach a GER
tain degree of maturity before it will
produce fruit, and an abundance of
plant food at the time the buds are
forming is desirable for best results
Now, if by summer pruning part of the
branch is removed, the growth is
checked, and as the part removed les
sens the demand for plant food, it can
be devoted to the production of fruit

Sugar for Tired Horses.

From France comes the information
from the use of sugar to overcome the
great fatigue in horses when over
worked. The horses employed in the
service of the National Military Col
lege IN transacting the business of the
establishment are exposed during the
rainy season to great strain and con-
sequent exhaustion as a result of Slip
perry roads and the increased amount
of transportation due to certain con-
ditions then prevailing.
For this reason many horses in past
years have suecumbed to the excessive
strain, very many become sick. Path
ogenic microbes found in the prevail
ing conditions favorable fields for their
development, and fatigue caused great
loss of appetite, loss of flesh, pulmon-
AIRY LESSONS, cardonic disturbances,
etc.
The good results obtained by mil
itary surgeon from the use of sugar in
large doses in forced marches led him
to employ it for the purpose of over
coming fatigue. Two hundred grains
of sugar were fed daily, mixed with the
horses food, and distributed regularly
throughout the day. Not only did the
fatigue disappear, but many animals
until then useless because of their mis-
cradle condition recovered their nor
NAL strength and rendered good SER

Buy Brood Mares.

Never has there been such demand
for brood mares as there is this spring.
Here is just one instance of how farm
ers are buying up good mares that
will breed. At the Chicago Stock
Yards recently, a fine Shire mare was
offered for sale for $3.50. She had been
injured in a car smash up, and it was
uncertain whether she would breed or
not. The farmer was willing to chance
$3.50 on it. and took the mare home.
The demand is largely for heavy draft
mares, and prices are running from
5000 to $3.50. When such prices are
paid one should get good, sound ones,
those that will weigh from 1400 to
1000 pounds. Then breed only to the
best draft stations. With right care
a good mare will raise good colt
every year, and do her share of the
farm work.-Indiana Farmer.

To Clean Black silk.

The Partisan method of cleaning
black silk is very simple and the result
infinitely superior to that achieved in
any other manner. The silk much be
thoroughly brushed and wiped with a
cloth, then laid fiat on board or ta-
BILE and well sponged with hot coffee,
thoroughly freed from sediment by be-
ing strained through muslin. The silk
is sponged on the side intended to
show. 1t is allowed to become par
TALLY dry, and then ironed on the
wrong side. The coffee removes every
particle of grease and restores the bril-
liancy of the silk without imparting
to it either the Shiny appearance or
crackly and papery stiffness so often
resulting when other methods are used.
The silk appears by the coffee pro-
cess, and this good effect is permanent.

Methods of Milking.

Milking must be regular and fire.
quent if the flow is to be long sus-
tained. A doe giving a large quantity
should be milked three times day, to
prevent wasting, as the milk easily es-

A milch goat has two teats and is
milked in the same manner as a COW.
These animals are very gentle and can
be milked by children, especially when
feed is given at milking time, and they
are extremely easy to manage in every
way
The young are ready to breed at

of the bob-white as a result Of which
it is announced that the bird is prob
ably the most useful abundant species
on the farms.
Field observations, experiments and
examinations show that it consumes
large quantities of weed seeds and de-
stroys many of the worst insect pests
with which farmers contend, and it
does not injure grain, fruit or other
crops. 1t is figured that from Septem-
ber l to April 80, annually, in Virginia
alone, the total consumption of weed
seeds by bob whites amount to 537
tons. Some of the pests which it also
destroys are the Mexican cotton boil
weevil, which damages the cotton crop
upward of s15,OO0,OOO a year; the po-
tato beetle, which cuts off $10,OO0, 900
from the value of the potato crop; the
cotton worms, which have been known
to cause 100000, 900 loss in year; the
chinch bug and the Rocky Mountain
locust, scourges which leace desola-
tion in their path and have caused
losses Of $100,000O00 in some years.
Certainly measures should be passed to
preserve this valuable bird

quate protection from the inroads of

An Indian Tradition.

At the government house in Poona,
India, every cat which may happen to
pass out of the front door after dark
is saluted by the sentry, who presents
arms to pussy. Tradition relates that
in 1888 Sir Robert Grant, governor of
Bombay. died in the government house.
On the evening of the day of his death
a cat was seen to leave the house by
the front door and walk up and down
a particular path, where the late gov
ernor had been in the habit of stroll
ing after sunset. A Hindoo sentry OBJ
served this. and told a priest, who de-
clared that in the cat was Gov. Grants
soul, and it should be saluted AS the
particular cat could not be identified
by the sentry, 1t was decided to pre-
sent arms to adj the cats.-New York

An excellent green food for young
chicks cap easily be provided through
the expenditure of few cents for oats.
A half bushel of oats should be placed
in a shallow box so that the entire
mass is two two four inches deep.
This should be sprtnkled with water
daily until the seeds have become
saturated when they will sprout and
continue to send up tender green
shoots. Very young stock may be fed
the shoots only, while older chicks

MEAT OR CEREALS
A Question of Interest to All Careful
Persons.

Arguments on food are interest
ing Many persons adopt a vegetar-
ian diet on the ground that they do
lot like to feel that life has been
Cken to feed them, nor do they
fancy the thought of eating dead
meat.
On the other hand, too great con-
sumption of partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread,
pastry, etc., produces serious bowel
troubles, because the bowel digestive
organs, (where starch is digested) I,
are overtaxed and the food ferments,
producing gas, and microbes gener-
ate in the decayed food, frequently
bringing on peritonitis and appendi-
citis.
Starchy food is absolutely essen
tial to the human body. Its best
form is shown in the food Grape
Nuts" where the starch is changed
into form of sugar during the pro-
cess of its manufacture. In this
way, the required food is presented
to the system in a pre-digested form
and is Immediately made into blood
and tissue, without taxing the diges-
tive organs.
A remarkable result in nourish-
ment is obtained; the person using
Grape-Nuts gains quickly in physical
and mental strength. Why in men
tai? Because the food contains del
icate particles of Phosphate of Pot
ash obtained from the grains, and
this unites with the albumen of all
food and the combination is what
nature uses to rebuild worn out cells
In the brain. This is scientific fact
that can be easily proven by ten
days use OF Grape-Nuts. "There's

To Test Linen.

A test for linen, and one in vogue
with old fashioned housekeepers, is to
dampen the finger and hold it be-
meath the material.
If the moisture appears on the sur
face it is a pretty good test that the
material is linen, but if there is no
dampness visible, then one may be
pretty sure that the material is, if
not all, at least part cotton. Cotton
absorbs the water, while the linen
does not.
Another very good test for linen is to
unravel portion, taking a couple Of
threads, one of the warp and one of
the woof, and to touch match to
them. If cotton is present in the
weave the thread will burn quickly,
leaving a charred bit. If linen, it
will be longer in burning.-Pittsburg
