APPENDICITIS.

Automobiles and Appendicitis scare

Appendicitis is often caused by too
much starch In the bowels. Starch is
hard to digest and clogs up the diges-
tive machinery-also tends to form
cakes in the cecum. (ThGt's the blind

SETTING OUT TREES.
Yearly Practice Of Planting Trees a
Good One.

On our farm we have made II q
practice every spring to set out some
trees. We choose this season of the
year because we have had better sue.
cess In getting them to grow than we
have by planting them in the fall This
holds good not only with forest trees,
but also with fruit trees and even
strawberries.
OF late years we have been putting
our trees along the highway and now
we have some beautiful trees growing
there. Some OF those We set our first
are now six or seven inches in diane
ter, having made this growth in the
last Is years. And these, too, being
hard or sugar naples, have grown as
slowly as any trees, almost, that one
might choose to set out. In our state,
New York. writes e. L. Vincent in
law providing for certain tax deduc-
lions for setting out trees along the
highway, but we have never taken ad.
vantage of 1t, being very well satisfied
with the added beauty, as well as the
prospective usefulness to us of the
trees.
Not far from our place there is n
farm with so many trees of the variety
mentioned. the sugar naples, along
the road that the owner can tap quite
a sugar orchard right there II he
wishes to. The trees have gained a
good size now, so that they would not
be materially injured by careful tap
ping. There is this great advantage
In q sugar bush of this sort. 1t Is
easy of access. One need not travel
around over rough roads to do the
work. II is always neat and clean and
the work of gathering the sap is not
hard. Some day we will all pay more
attention to this matter of setting out
trees than we do now, and 1t will be a
great thing for the country when we
do.

Plan OF the Window Box.

as is usually the case, the box will re.
quire greater height in front. to
make Il set level, as shown in Fig. 2.
The box should be well nailed OF
screwed together and should then be
painted all over to make It more dura'
BILE. A number OF one-half inch holes
should be drilled in the bottom. thus
allowing the excess water TO run out
and prevent rotting the plants and
box.
Having completed the bare box, Il
may be trimmed to suit the fancy OF
the maker. The design shown In Fig.
l Is very simple and easy to construct
but may be replaced with panel or
other design. One form Of panel de-
sign Is shown 10 Fig. 3.
Trimming having too rough sur.
face will be found unsuitable for this
work, as II is difficult to fasten and can.
not be split as we'll as smooth trimming.
II should be cut the proper length
before being split and should be fast
ened on with brads. The half-r0und
hoops of barrels will be found very
useful in trimming, especially for fill.
ing-in purposes, and by using them the
operation of splitting is avoided. After
the box Is trimmed, the rustic work
should be vanished, in order to thor.
oughly preserve 1t, as well as improve
Its appearance.

RUSTIC WINDOW BOX.


Instead of using an ordinary green
painted window box why not make an
artistic one In which the color does
not clash with the plants contained in
1t, but rather harmonizcs with them
and brings out the beauty of the foil
age to the most advantage, asks a
writer in Popular Mechanics.
Such window box can be made by
anyone having usual mechanical! abil
ity and will furnish more opportunities
for artistic and original design than
many other articles OF more compli'
Gated construction.
The box proper should be made a
little shorter than the length of the
window to allow for the extra space
taken up in trimming and should be
nearly equal In width to the sill, as
shown in Fig. /. If the sill Is inclined,
