short Suggestions,

When cooking new green peas add a
few pods to them and you will find the
favor improved.
Do not wash oilcloth or linoleum in
hot suds. Use tepid water and wipe
with a cloth dampened in equal parts of
cold milk and water.
Do not cut heavy cord or cardboard
with scissors, for it will spread the
blades and destroy the usefulness of the
scissors. Keep a knife handy for this
purpose
Sponges should always be hung by
cords on hooks that they may get all
the air possible, and it is best to put
them in the open air just outside of the
window to dry.
Every coffee pot should occasionally
De washed out with a solution of sal
soda and boiling water
Casters on the legs Of the kitchen
table will be found great convenience.
When this article Of furniture is to be
moved there will be no danger of strain
ing ones self.
Cover the floor Of the kitchen with
good linoleum. 1t is much easier to
stand and walk on, does not tire the
feet as a harder floor, and, when prop
erly laid. is more easily cleaned and
kept clean. threfore more sanitary and
labor saving than a wood floor.

Farm Help Less Expensive.

Farm labor is cheaper than it was at
this time last year and is pretty sure
to continue so for the season. There
has been some curtailment in manufac-
turing throughout the country, the re-
suit being that a great many men are
out of work. With this condition farm
ers fad that they can get help more
readily now than they have been able
to for several years.
1t is ascertained that where contracts
have been made in the Middle West and
Southwest for farm hands the rate of
wages averages about So per month low
er than that prevailing year ago.
A common rate of pay for farm hands
at this time is SO per month, as against
$50 last season. Competent men with
experience in special departments of
farming will command more, but not as
much as in 1906 and 1907. Good live
stock hands receive $50 to $40, but
above this there are few men hired even
for fancy farming or the specialties who
are receiving more.
Youths and inexperienced immigrants
are offering their services for from SIS
to $50 per month.

The Coddling Moth,

About one-tifth of the first laying of
eggs by the coddlihg moth is on the
fruit, the rest being on the leaves and
branches. The young larva that
matches from the egg is able to feed
on the foliage to some extent and may
come into maturity without entering
the fruit, although it rarely does so.
About so per cent of the first brood
finds its way into the apples at the
calyx, while the rest eat in at other
points, principally at the stem. Only
about % per cent of the second brood
enters at the calyx, the others eating
in where the apples touch each other
or leaf at the stem end. The aver
age life of the adult insect, or moth,
is about four days.

A New SwiHdIe on Farmers.

An entirely new but highly successful
scheme to separate farmers from their
money has been worked in South Da-
kota during the past few months
An oily CRATER calls on a farmer and
makes a bid for his land. The figures
are absurdly low at first, but by de-
grees are raised as high as $50 an acre,
and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent, but that he can sell the
land at the price named if the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at the
rate of 90 cents an acre.
The agent promises orally that the
advertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipula-
ton is not contained in the contract
that the farmer signs.
In a few days he receives a copy of
an ad and not overcourteous demand
for money.
1t IS said that twenty-five agricul-
turists were caught with this bait in
Brown County ald that one of them

Corn makes a rank growth both above
and below ground, and for that reason
requires treatment somewhat different
from what is given to wheat or oats.
Planting in rows is necessary not only
TO permit full development of the stalks,
but also to give plenty Of feeding room
to the roots Corn roots, if they have
a chance, will occupy every inch to the
depth Of from three to five feet, and
the yield of the corn viii depend on
the completeness of this occupation.
The feeding ground, or, in other words,
the corn root pasture, depends mainly
on the preparation and cultivation of
the soil. 1t may be limited in many
ways, SO that the farmer, instead of US
ing from three to five feet Of his field
rs soil, will use only a small portion of
it. If the land is not properly drained,
either naturally or artifcially, the corn
roots cannot penetrate into the regions
saturated with water, for the water
shuts out the air. If hard pan comes
near the surface the corn roots cannot
reach into that, and he may be cult
waiting but six, eight or ten inches of the
field as soil. If the land be heavy and
/ ploughed wet, full of Jumps on the sur
/ face or resting on the plough pan or
. bottom Of the furrow, the corn roots
cannot utilize these, and hence his soil
/ IS limited. If he has ploughed under

relieved of the necessity of STOPPING so
low as he does in shovels of the or
binary construction. He introduces a
supplemental handle, which is secured
to the handle of the shovel, the oppo-
site end extending forward of the rear
end of the blade, being supported from
the latter by braces. The supplement
tai handle is engaged by the forward
hand of the operator, the latter being
thus greatly relieved of weight. 1t
avoids the twisting strain of the body
caused by lifting a heavy load when
the forward hand is placed low down

of the scoop, rendering it more con-
venient and efficient in use, adapting
