Waste on the farm.

Farmers in America do not escape
the American sin of wastefulness.
Modern methods, and some ancient
ones, too, ought to prevent the waste
going on on too many of our farms,
says Farmers Advocate. This waste
means the difference on many thou
sands Of farms between poverty and
prosperity. The waste on many a
farm would have paid off the mort
gage long ago.
One Of the largest wastes is in the
manure on the farm. 1t is allowed to
run of and leave the farm altogether.

usual way. At the back is lever
which operates an inverted cone
shaped suction cup. AS the lever is
pulled forward the suction cup de-
scends, coming into contact with the
water and clothes, By reversing the
stroke of the lever the suction of the
cup acts upon the clothes to draw out
the dirt. The apparatus is also con-
structed to be clamped to the ordinary
laundry tubs, being readily transfer
able from one to another, as required.

Many farmers never use jointer
on their plows, and have found a few
who did not know what it was. 1t is

For Strawberry Rash.

A great many women have to forego
eating the delicious strawberry be-
cause it causes an irritating rash to
break out on the skin. To counterfeit
the acidity of the berries, which causes
the trouble, a little limewater or
pinch Of soda, taken in milk or water
once day, is helpful. Bathing the
affected parts with as hot water as can
be borne allays the itching. This
should be followed by a good busting
of pure talcum powder.

Railroad Irresponsible for Wreck.


The state railroad commission in
decision filed on Tuesday holds the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad responsible for the wreck near
Millington on June 5. The findings of
the board, based upon the testimony
taken at the Essex county court house
on June %, are as follows:
"At the point where the accident
occurred the railroad company was en-
gagged in replacing sixty-seven-pound
rails with eighty pound rails, and the
train in question was moving at the
rate of at least rs miles an hour, east
bound. 1t was derailed few feet east
OF the switch facing point, which had
been temporarily secured by spikes, In
the opinion of the superintendent and
the principal assistant engineer in
charge of maintenance, the accident
could have been explained only by the
fact that said switch point was not Sc
curely and properly spiked. In this
opinion the board conGelrs.
"The testimony OF che witnesses re-
vealed the fact that as many as four
section foremen were working in the
vicinity of the accident, neither one
of whom bad complete charge of the
work, and their responsibilities seem
to have been divided and indtinite. In
the opinion of the board there should
have been some one official or employ
in charge Of the work and solely respon-
sible for the safeguards which the cir
cumstances required"

Farmers and Timber.

There Is land on nearly every farm
that is fitted for the growing of crop
of wood. Many Of these farms by let

than to cultivate or pasture such land.
1t seems to be mostly in the hands Of
the farmer to see that the timber sup

dition.
