Ee Your Own Tree Doctor.

Every man should be his own tree
doctor. If properly trained he has
been busy all summer removing suck
ers from the trees, fighting fungus
and discouraging insect When the
leaves are off he goes all Lover his
plantation, diagnosing each tree,
shrub and bush. He will find some
borers' not yet killed, and these
should be thoroughly eradicated from
his ounces and apples before winter
sets in. Use flexible wire and a
sharp knife; and when the larvae are
killed, pile coal ashes freely around
the tree. He will probably find in
his currant and berry fields more or
less bushes that cultivation has
loosened in the soil. These are liable
to heave out during the winter. He
should slip a narrow shovel under
the plant, draw out the dirt, and let
the bush settle until it is well plant
ed. Tread heartily, and then, if you
have them to spare, place a. scuttle
of coal ashes about each one.-From
The Outing Magazine forsNovember.

Set Out Asparagus in October.

Asparagus may be grown from
seed, or set from roots, which may be
had at from So, to sc per 1000, and
will require about 5000 plants to the
acre. The soil should. be moist, rich,
sandy loan. The lighter the soil the
better the result. Sets should be put
out in October, in deep burrows. eigh-
teen inches apart and covered with
an inch or two of soil. Well-rotted
stable manure in the furrow is the
best fertilizer. The ground must be
kept soft and free from weeds and
grass. In the early spring mulch
with coat of fine straw or pine
ne ,d!es. twill produce from zoo to
3OU pounds of shoots to the acre per
Season and will sell from five to twen-
ty-tive cents per pound, although the
first shoots may bring as high as
fifty cents per pound. But aside from
the sale of the vegetable, every farm
er should have bed of it for his own
use.
What is more delicious than the
first dainty dish of asparagus in the
early springtime? Sincere, in Pro
gressive Farmer.

II You Are Lost in the Woods.

Let the man who is lost in the
woods be very careful not to over
exert himself. His chief dangers lie
in panic and over-eXertion, and
though he may be in a great hurry
to find shelter, / must warn him to
go slowly. Two miles an hour, on
an average, through the snow in the
woods, is all that man in his con-
dition will be able to stand without
over-fatigue and its attendant dan
gers, over-hcating and eperspiration.
By exercising caution, a man may
live through a week Of what he is
undergoing. TO make this article
brief, however, we shall suppose that
he regains the road by the afternoon
of the first day. He doesn't yet
know, of course, Just where he is.
He should examine the tracks of the
person who last passed that way. 1t
being afternoon, he must follow in
the direction taken by the last pass
ing vehicle or team, as shelter will
be nearest in that direction. Had
it been morning he would have taken
the opposite direction, as whoever
made the tracks must have come from
the place wi.ere he obtained shelter
the previous night.-From "Lost in
The Woods" by A. B. Carleton, in

The Frenchrnan Looked Innocent.

Some tire since, in fremont
Street store in Boston, nervous lit
tie Frenchman brushed against a
pretty trife Of vaseware valued at
about fourteen dollars and succeeded
in getting several score more pieces
out of it than had gone into its maE-
ing. The foorwalker led the abashed
Partisan aside and politely explained
that the broken vase must be paid Tor.
Monsieur fetched handful of small
silver and copper, mostly foreign,
from his pocket when lie was told the
value of the triAe. "l1on Dieu, "
cried the Partisan, "seventy francs ~
At this he took out his billbcok, and
discovered a fifty ollar draft, which
the fcorwwallSer instantly seized upon,
to the unspeakable horror of Its
owner. After dcducting the value of
the vase the former LANDED the man
his change and dismissed him with a
floorwalker's blessing. The express
draft reached the bank in due time,
with four others, as fraudulent, but
the volatile little Frenchman had de-
parted southwark with the swallows,

Shrub the Pastures.

Briars, bushes and trees are the
greatest drawbacks to pastures in
this section. These are very anxious
TO grow and they hold back the grass
from growing. No farmer can grow
them and do much growing grass at
the same time.
There is enough bottom land for
pastures on almost every farm If
the briars, trees and bushes were out
of the way of the grass. 1t helps
very much to remove the briars and
bushes if the trees are allowed to re-
main.
Pastures should be shrubbed at
least every two years, and once a year
is better. Now is the best time to do
this work. Bush axes, grass knives
and briar knives are the tools mainly
used.
Remember that it takes a little
work in the pasture as we'll as in the
field. Without pastures YOU can not
do much with livestock, and without
livestock it is impossible to get the
biggest crops from the fiel''s.-J. M.
Beatty, in Smithfield Herald.

Raising Calves Without MiIl7,.


E. T., Quicksburg, Va, writes:
would like to know il / can raise
calf only two weeks old without milk.
If so, what is the best food, also for
older calves?
Answer: Calves have been raised
with fair success with the use of very
little skim milk. 1t would. be diff
cult undertaking to attempt to raise
calf only two weeks old without the
use of milk. At the end Of thirty days
fair substitute may be made for
milk from hay tea. This is best pre-
pared by taking hay that has been
cut quite young, covering it we'll with
water, and covering it so as to eX-
tract the soluble food elements. The
tea should be boiled until it is IN
quite a concentrated form, and then
some flaxseed and wheat middlings
should be added to the tea to increase
the fattening and muscle forming ele-
ments in which hay tea IS deficient.
Flaxseed jelly may be used to advan-
tage for this purpose. 1t is made by
adding boiling water to oil meal.
,, For calf thirty days old not more
than one-quarter pound should be
fed per day with an equal amount OF
wheat middlings thoroughly stirred
into the tea. This hay tea is often
used by dairymen who sell milk.
1t is quite simple matter to raise
a calf on skim milk when taken away
from the dam two or three days after
it is dropped by adding a small
amount Of faxseed jelly to the skim
milk. Not more than one tablespoon
full should be used at first, and the
amount increased daily as the needs
of the calf seem to require. A calf
when first taken away from the dam
should not receive more than ten
pounds of skim milk to be increased
gradually up to fifteen pounds, but
under no circumstances should it go
over eighteen pounds before the calf
is five or six weeks old. After that
time as much as twenty-four pounds
may be fed. Should you attempt TO
raise a calf on skim milk or hay tea
remember that small amount fed
three times day is likely to give you
much better results than large
amount fed twice day. Where skim
milk is used it is important that it
be fed at blood temperature and in a
sweet condition.. NJ. Soule.

Destroying Field Mice and Moles.


7. P. T., Jonesboro. Tenn, writes:
would like to know how to poison
Or otherwise kill field mice and moies.
They are very destructive in my corn
fields and potato patches.
Answer: Moles and mice may
sometimes be killed to advantage by
the use of carbon bisulphide. Take
small wads of lint cotton and thor
oughly saturate with the caroon pl-
sulphide and put in the holes and
runways if underground. The 1resn
ruuways of the mole are easily dis
covered and if the bisulphide is put
in the ground and the place where II
Is inserted covered with earth and
dressed down slightly the fumes will
nenetrate the channels and often
cause the destruction of moles and
mice. There is a difficulty in this
remedy, however, for the runways
are often so near the surface OF the
ground that part of the carbon BIZ
sulphide escapes and becomes mixed
with the air and is not effective.
Another good way to rid yourself
of these pests is to prepare mash
Of bran in which YOU might mix lit
tie cheese, corn meal or any otner
food that is likely to prove attractive
TO mice, and saturate the mixture
thoroughly with paris green or some
other deadly poison. Put small spoon
fuls here and there about the places
the mice frequent. In this way you
might be able to kill a great many OF
them. The principal objection to US
ing paris green in the mash as indi-
Gated is the danger that something

FREAKS OF RAzoRS.
The Way the Grain of the Blades
 9omoAIMos Reversed.

The Way the Grain of the Blades Is
 Sem0tInOo Reversed.
 The finest grades of razors are so delicate that even the famous Damas- GUS sword blades cannot equal them in texture. It Is not generally known that the grain of a Swedish razor Is so sensitive that Its general direction Is changed after . short service. When you buy a dne rAzOr the grains run from the upper end of the outer point in . diagonal direction toward the han de. Constant stropping will twist the steel until the grain appears to be straight up and down. Subsequent use win drag the grain outward from the edge, so that after steady use for sev- eral months the nber of the steel Occu- pies a position exactly the reverse of that which 1t did on the day of pur- chase. The process also affects the temper of the blade, and when the grain sets from the lower outer points toward the back you have a razor which cannOt be kept in condition even by the most conscientious barber But here's another curious freak that will take place in the same tool: If you leave the razor alone for a month or two and take 1t up. you will find that the grain has assumed it's first position The operation can be repeated until the steel is worn through to the back Strand Magazine.
