An Intermittent Watch.

"My watch played me a curious
trick the other day" said an official
of the War Department. When I
arose in the morning l looked at ths
watch to see what time 1t was and
discovered that 1t had STOPPED during
the night. 1t was wound up all right
and l tried several time to make II
go, but to no effect. 1t would run for
two or three seconds and then stop.
] then concluded that it was hope.
lessly out of order aud repaired the
services of an expert. T%hereupon ]
started on a brisk walk for the shop
of the jeweller who does all that sort
of work for me. After / had walked
about two squares force Of habit eau
ed me to take out the watch to see
the time. To my great surprise 1t was
running and had only to be adjusted
to the right time to be as good as
new. BY personal experience I knew
that the pain of an aching tooth
would disappear by the time I got to
the door of the dentist to have II
operated on, but this was my first ex-
p~erience of a similar kind with a
watch or any other inanimate object"

E CUT RONE.

One pound of cut bone for a dozen
hens once a day, which should not
cost over one cent a pound, will pro-
duce more eggs than five times as
much grain, because the cut bone Is
complete in egg-making substances.
while the grain is largely deficient in
many respects. Some persons affirm
that 1t does not pay to procure a
%bonecutter for small flocks. That is
a mistake. Bone-cutters are now
cheaper than many ordinary garden
tools, and are stroag. durable and
efficient. The cost of the bone-cut-
ter is soon regained in the increased
number Of eggs laid. 1t is almost in.
dispensable to success, no matter
how small the flock, for no one should
keep a flock unless fully determined
to secure the largest profit possible.
The great saving of bones and meat
and the utilization Of materials that
could not be appropriated as food
for fowls without their use have
given green bone-cutters a place on
all w~ell-regulated farms. They are
sold at from SIS to $40, a price which
places them within the reach of all.
and they have added to the profits Of
poultrymen, farmers, butchers and
poultry supply houses.-Mirror and

SALT FOR SHEEP.

A series of experiments recently
conducted in France go to show that
sheep do need salt. One bunch that
was given half an ounce each gained
four pounds and a fraction more than
the bunch that had no salt. The
sailed sheep had almost two pounds
wool, which was of a finer quail
ity. Half an ounce of salt gave much
better results than did three-fourths
OF an ounce.
Have little salt troughs fastened to
trees or posts scattered through the
pastures and keep them filled with
salt in which is mixed %turpentine,
n tablespoonful to each quart of
salt. Keep your troughs filed so that
the sheep can get to them whenever
they choose (and you will find that
every day. and lick a little salt. The
odor or smell Of the turpentine will
be on their noses, consequently the
gad-1y will not bother or sting them

Trees Which Require No Cultivation
and Yield When Five Years Old.
In describing the cultivation OF a
hardy variety of rubber tree in Cuba,
a writer in the National Magazine OF
Cuba says that it is advisable to plant
the small trees about six metres apart.
In this way, at the age OF IL or 20
years the trees having reached q
height Of say thirty feet, do not inter-
fere with minor civilizations.
While the trees are reaching matur-
lty, the grower can raise beans, kid
ney beans, nuts or cassavas. malanga,
cotton and maize. The pineapple Will
make profitable interpolated crop.
The caoutchouc requires no cult
walton, the grass and the vegetation
assisting the young plant, and when
older the shade eliminates all useless
grasses and herbs. The tree can be
tapped at the fifth year, but more sat
isfactory results will be attained by
waiting until the sixth year, and then,
instead of abstracting two or three
pounds of juice, 1t Is prudent to take
no more than one to one and a half
pounds, according to the development
of the tree an average of one and a
half pounds would be very reasonable.
II methodically handled, the rubber
tree is extremely long lived, and from
eighth to tenth years the tree will
produce about six pounds annually,
and still remain in condition to give
service many years to come.

SINKS AND DRAINS A FIRE.
QUENT CAUSE OF TYPHOID

Purify These and You Will Be Safe
From Contagion - Disinfecting
the Only Preventative-Borax, q
Simple, Safe and Sure Method.
How to keep our homes clean, sweet
and free from germ influences is a
question.
While there Is no occasion for
alarm, it is always well to be fore
armed on the theory that AN Ounce
of Prevention Is Better Than a Pound
Of Cure" and no ounce Of prevention
has yet been discovered that is more
simple, more direct and more effec-
tive. yet harmless to the human sys-
tenn, than 3orax.
Borax has been known and used for
generations as a purifier and preven-
tive against epidemic influences orig
mating from uncleanly conditions re-
sulting from u~nsanitary sinks and
drains, and when used as a hot solu-
ton in the proportion of two table,
spoonfuls to a gallon of hot water
flushed through the offending loca-
tions, removes every trace Of disease
germs and renders the pipes clean
and wholesome.
Borax in addition to its hygienic
qualities. is a household necessity.
and can be used for numberless do
nestle purposes. 1t softens the water,
makes linen dazzling white, will
cleanse every article In the kitchen
or dining room and make it bright,
will prevent moths, gotten and whiten
the skin, remove dandruff and cleanse
the scalp, and for cleansing and ster-
ilizing baby's milk bottle and nipple
has no equal.
Borax, unlike every other cleanser
and ~disinfectant, is absolutely harm
less to the system, and is safe, simple,
economical. and can be purchased at
any druggist or grocery. A dainty
