THE FARM TELEPHONE.
An Efficient Time Saver and : Means
of Protection.

ID EEH ~ -
Many persons who use the telephone
have all manner Of mistaken ideas
about central and her work. They
often say, for instance, that they know
better when central tells them the line
is busy or that nobody answers. In
fact, however, much the easiest thing
for the operator to do is to give you
the person called for if she can pos
sibly get him. By the time she has
found out that a line is busy, or that
a subscriber does not answer, ,%central's
work is three-quarters done, and it is
simpler to finish the connection when
ever she can than turn the switch on
your line and report to you, remarks a
writer in American Cultivator. When
central tells you a person does not
answer, it is only after she has made
several unsuccessful attempts to get
him. Sometimes people forget to ring
off when they are through talking, and
that might keep a line waiting as ap-
parently busy when it was really not
in use.
Convenient In Many Ways.
Many stories are told Of the ways in
which the telephone saves money for
the farmer, from protecting his crops
by giving him the governments daily
weather predictions to protecting his
profits by keeping him posted lon prices
current. When some of the ,tarm ma
.chinery breaks down, the damaged part
can be replaced in a day by telephon-
ing a supply house. If there is an ac-
cident or sudden illness, a word from
the doctor over the wire may save a
life which could not wait unaided for
him to take a long drive. If fire threat
ems, the whole countryside is sum-
moned in a few moments. Tramps and
marauders VIGOROUSLY avoid places to
which the telephone wires lead.

The codiinu Moth In ilIinois.

While spraying for the first brood Of
the codling moth is a common prac-
tice among Illinois apple growers, very
few have as yet attempted to control
the second brood by spraying, and seri-
ous damage often results from the
work Of this late brood even in Or
chards which have been sprayed for
the first brood. In central Illinois the
first worms Of the second brood enter
the apples about July 20, and most Of
the codling moth injuries apparent up
on winter apples at picking time are
due to the work Of this brood. A seri-
GUS attack of the second brood is most
disheartening to the grower, for the
injury is done after the apples have
attained considerable size and even
commenced to color, SO that after the
crop is apparently made a large per-
centage Of it may. be ruined by the
worms.

same will be remodled and used

Recently the farm resident Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Fliginger was
only saved by achance from burn
ing to the ground, and, We under
stand that, judging from odor of
kerosene in various places and
other things Of a suspicious APP
pearance, the conclusion is that
fire was not an accident, but rather,
the work of some miscreant bent,
on damage. If such is the case it
is clear that McGinnis township is
infested with either mad man or
a criminal Of the most desperate
character. In either case the
neighborhood is in grave danger
and apprehension cannot occur too
soon.

lose its strength as soon as it becomes
wet and will offer no resistance to the
further growth of the plant. The pres
ence of the tiles will cause the leaves
to draw up above the top of the tiles,
thereby forming a screen over the top
to shut out the light from the interior.
If the common unglazed tiles are used
the evaporation from their surface has
a tendency to keep the plant cool dur
ing the heat of the day, and a very
crisp and tender product is the result.
This method of blanching is desirable
also on account Of its cleanliness, as
celery treated in this way will need
very little washing before marketing

EARLY CELERY.

Good Method of Obtaining a Crisp and
Tender Product.
Perhaps the most satisfactory way
Of blanching early celery on a small
scale is by IA of ordinary farm
draintiles of about four inches inside
diameter, placed owe the plants after
they have become almost fully grown.

tiles over the plants some of the out

Accounted For.
San Francisco, July 24.-The fa,
cifc Coast Steamship company's pas
senger steamer Pomona arrived in Gsa
Francisco from Eureka, at 1880 a. H.,
bringing from the latter place of
the surviving passengers Of the
wrecked steamer Columbia and the
thirty-two members of the Columbia's
rev who were saved out of her total
complement of ffty-nine.
1t is hoped now that the loss of life
will not be so heavy as at first re.
ported. The exact number will not
be known until complete accounts are
brought in from Bryceland and Shell
ter cove. 1t is known that of 1873 pas
sengers reported by the company as
sailing on the Columbia ninety-seven
we're saved by the George w. Elder,
which towed the San Pedro into Eu-
reka. There were fifty-nine in the
crew of the Columbia and of these
thirty-seven were on the Elder. Re-
ports from Shelter cove announce the
arrival of one boat with fifteen lore
passengers and crew, leaving the total
death roll at ninety-eight.
So far only one boat has arrived at
Shelter cove, although four were re-
ported there. 1t is said that before
the steamer sank six of her boats had
been launched, together with three
l%ifsrafts. These have yet to be heard
from and it is expected that steamers
passing up and down the coast will
succeed in picking them up with their
living freight. That so many escaped
is accredited, strange to say, to the
fact that the explosion of the boilers
when the steamer was sinking coun-
teracted the tremendous suction and
saved a lot Of people who were in the
water from being drawn into the vor-
tex and down with the wreckage. The
back wave from the sinking steamer
threw many, swimming for their lives,
back from the point of danger and
gave them a chance to escape. Not a
few of the passengers on board the
Columbia were teachers and their
friends who had been attending the
National Educational association meet
ing in Los Angeles. Many Of these
have been rescued and were among
the arrivals on board the George w.
Elder.
