Selected Her Own Coin,

This curious incident of travel in
Africa is told by A. Henry Savage
Landor: Il wished to buy a bag of
grain, but the woman who owned 1t
would on no account accept silver
money for it, nor any article which
she saw In my camp. My Somali
servant had a bright idea-the only
one he had during the entire journey
across Africa He went to one of the
boxes of provisions and tore off a
highly colored label from corn beef
tin. Having licked 1t copiously, he
stuck it In the middle Of his forehead.
Inquisitive, like woman. the Carayu
asked him what he did 1t for. The
Somali said he had been seized with a
violent headache and the colored pa
per was a certain cure. The Carayu
at once offered the grain If the Somali
would part with the magic paper. Her
wish was satisfied without delay and
the woman departed happy"

CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on Grape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape.Nuts is never crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape-Nuts, and get well.
my little baby was given up by
three doctors who said that the con-
densed milk on which | fed her had
ruined the child's stomach. One OF
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, so got some and prepared 1t as
follows: ] soaked Ia tablespoonfuls
In one pint of cold water for half an
hour, then l strained off the liquid and
mixed IL teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
of rich milk, put in pinch of salt
and little sugar, warmed 1t and gave
1t to baby every two hours.
In this simple, easy way saved
babys life and have built her up to a
strong healthy child, rosy and laugh

LAND FOR THE ORCHARD.
Preparation of the Soil Where Trees
We're to Be Planted.

Among the first things | did toward
improving our farm after buying 1t
was to set two acres to peach and
apple trees. 1t has proven to be the
most valuable two acres on the farm.
While being five miles away from any
fruit market, yet we often realize a
clear profit of SIS from fruit sold,
beside great benefit from fattening
our hogs.
The land was loamy clay soil,
with heavy clay subsoil, and lay lit
tie sloping, which insured good drain
age. 1t was partly protected on the
north by timber. A ditch three feet
deep and two feet wide was cut on the
north side, which cut off all roots run
ming out from the timber.
| began preparation year before
setting the trees. | hauled 20 two
horse loads of barnyard manure and
broadcasted 1t, explains this CORE
spondent of Farm and Home. The
land was then broken well with two
horse pillow, following several inches
deep with subsoil plow ! then cut
the surface several times with disk
harrow and sowed two bushels of COW
peas per acre. They made a splen-
did growth and the vines were allowed
to remain on the soil.
In the fall this growth was turned
under, and the land again broken and
subsoiled to depth of about Is
inches, surface narrowed well and
rye sown at the rate Of " bushels
per acre. This attained fine growth,

was afraid to risk an orchard of trees
bought from agents, and, too, saved
almost one.half the cost by buying

trees were planted 80 feet apart
each way, which made cultivation
easy.
In the fall the remaining acre was
set and the trees grew off better than
those set in the spring. | used rye

HAD STORED HONEY IN HOUSE.
Industrious Bees Had Hive Between
Floors of Dwelling.

For several years Patrick Prender-
CAST of Abingdon Pa, lived In house
along the Old York road, not knowing
that swarm of bees also considered
it their home. The swarm hived be-
tween the first and second floors, d.
rectly beneath the beds occupied each
night by Prendergast and his family.
The house where Prendergast lived,
with realty sale, passed into posses
sion of John Lambert, Jr, promi-
nent Philadelphia, with country
place at Arlington. In line with pro-
jected Improvements, Lambert ar
ranged to have the house moved back
from the present foundations, pre-
liminary to having 1t remodeled, the
structure being more than 100 years
old
Workmen discovered the presence
of the bees, and an apiarist employed
to remove the swarm found more than
200 pounds of pure honey between the
second floor and the ceiling of the
first. It being assumed that Mr.. Lam
bert took title to the honey with the
house, the honey was turned over to
him.

POISON DANGERS IN SPRAYING.
French Scientists Suggest the Color
ing of Arsenic Compounds.

French scientists, while recognizing
the necessity for the use of arsenic
compounds In spraying, have made a
wise recommendation to their govern
men that such material shall not be
sold unless colored In such manner
that 1t can not possibly be confused
with foods or condiments. The buyer
and the seller are to be held equally
responsible for this denaturation OF
arsenic and the insecticides are to be
sold only in packages plainly marked
poison" Such regulation would bo
wise one for this country.
At present 1t is possible to purchase
white arsenic powder, unlabeled,
which much resembles soda and ba,
king powder. Needless to say those
who substitute 1t for either of these
leavening powders would rise no more
IL they ate of the fruits of their own
labors.
