Tho Disc Harroyx.

Too much reliance Is placed on the
disc harrow as substitute for the
plow There is no implement more use
full than the disc harrow In some lines,
but Its place is to cut up the sod and
render the soil fine after the land has
been plowed though farmers frequent
ly use the disc harrow for preparing
stubble land, leaving out blowing al
together. There Is something more in
plowing than simply loosening the
ground for seed. When land Is proper
ly plowed 1t holds more moistures, abb
serbs warmth rapidly and permits Of
greater feeding capacity for plants.

Thinning Apples.

The effort to produce the seeds of
apples exhausts the tree more than to
produce the much larger quantity of
meat, because seeds contain much
larger proportion of the mineral ele-
ments. AS much meat (or pulp) can be
grown on 800 fine, large apple trees as
upon 1000 small, inferior ones, but the
production Of seeds will only be one
half as great. This thinning" not only
adds to the value Of the present crop,
but economies the energies of the tree
for future use.

As to "GOod Appearance"
Neatly kept nails.
Gloves neatly mended.
Smoothly brushed hair.
Absolute cleanliness of the body.
Entire absence of the odor of per.

All garments carefully brushed and

not be beautiful, and every one cannot
dress extensively.

To Clean Paintings.

To clean an oil painting that Is COW
cred with dirt and fly specks wipe all
the dust from the painting with soft
cloth. Put little linseed oil in a
saucer and, dipping finger in the oil,
rub the painting gently. 1t will require
time and patience, but the effect will
repay you. Artists say that in clean
ing a painting nothing but the fingers
dipped in oil or in water should be
used.

Sayings from the Talmud.


If your wife Is small, bend down In
order to listen to her advice.
That which a child says beyond the
house 1t has learned within the house.
1t is easy to lead a man on the way
which he desires to go.
Devotion with little prayer Is better
than much prayer without devotion.
He who destroys the reputation OF
his fellow is murderer
The act of foolish man can never
be a precedent.
The soldiers do the fighting and the
kings are glorlfied as heroes.
God looks first into the heart of man
and then into his mind.
