Usinu a Weeder.

A great many farmers do not know
how to get the most service from a
weeder When the soil becomes hard
and compact after rains, the space
between the rows may be broken up
by the cultivator, after which the
weeder will readily stir the soil in the
rows. When used at the right time
myriads of small weeds may be de-
stroyed before they become trouble
some and moisture is conceived in a
most effectual manner by this tool
with it's many small teeth. It may be
used on crops with which it would
seem impossible without too great
damage. For example, beans may be
cultivated by means of the weeder
when a few inches high, and if the
work is done about midday, when the
plants are limp, very few will be in
jured. Many bean growers who use
the weeder sow slightly more seed
to make provision for possible
loss of plants. This vegetable should
never be cultivated when the plants
are wet.

SUPPORT FOR FLOWER VINES
Two Long Sticks, Held by Screws,
Easily Removed, Afford Protec-
ton from Severe Storms.

Last year I tried a new support Tor
Towering vines which proved most
satisfactory, says a writer in the
Housekeeper. / took two light STICKS
long enough to reach across the end
of the piazza where / wished to train
the vines, and connected them with
stout cords on which the vines might
run. In the upper stick I fastened
three screw eyes, which slipped over
three corresponding hooks at the top
of the piazza. Several times during
the summer, when we had furious
storms which whip the tender vines
so ruinously I unlocked the support
and placed the vines fiat on the plaZ-
"a floor, securing the stick with a cou-
pie of stones In this way they es-
capped the worst of the storm and
were quite fresh when I hooked them
in place again. Our vines never be-
fore lived through the summer in such
good condition. The first frosty
nights the vines were placed on the
ground and covered with a blanket
so that our blossoms remained quite
late, and when at last they became
frost-bitten it was very simple to re-
move both vines and support, leaving
behind no dangling strings or wires.

Timely Farm Notes.

What is needed is intense farming
or farming in earnest.
Properly made kumyss is the most
digestible form in which milk can be
partaken of.
The man who can keep the double
trees of work from humping him on
the heels is indeed a general.
A team of draft mares is a better
investment than money in the bank
drawing four per cent. interest.
Fill up all the hog wallows and
provide your swine with clean water
to battle in A hog does not like
dirty bath any better than you
like it.
The steer calf is worth pampering
a little these days, for the market
that is waiting him is sure to be one
of profit. Meat will be meat from
now on.
Take care to avoid shoulder gals
and saddle sores. Lift the collar
from the horses neck occasionally
and allow it to cool and be careful to
see that the harness does not rub.
See that the fences are in good re-
pair and by so doing avoid tiresome
tramps after strayed stock, to say
nothing of unpleasantness with
neighbors. 1t takes a good deal of
Christian forbearance to view with
equanimity a wheat field trampled to
mire by a careless neighbor's
cattle.

The Rose Leaf Hopper.

The rose leaf hopper, also known as
the white bug, attacks the under side
of the tender leaves of roses. The fe-
male lays the eggs on the under side
of the leaf, and as soon as Matched
they suck the juices of the leaf. Their
presence may be known by the leaves
turning white and then yellow and
dropping off, says writer in the Bal
timore American. Our rose growers
recommend a solution of whale oil
soap or tobacco water, applied with
a fine spray both to the upper and
under side of the leaf. The spraying
to be effective, must be given as soon
as they appear, and kept up until the
leaves are strong enough to risist
their attack. The whale oil solution
is made as follows: Soap, one pound
cut fine; water, six gallons; dissolved
stir thoroughly before using; spray
when cold.

A Primer of Sports

Skating is a most fascinating exer-
ton. The amount of physical energy
expended by an ordinary man III an

twelve henhouse with shingle roof
and cupola No sone has ever been
able to calculate the energy exuded
by a ten-year-old kid for the same
length of time.
One of the greatest games on ice is
crack the whip. This is hot stuff.
Take Is big, husky low-brows and at
tach a poetical youth at one end as
the cracker After a short, swift skate
, the kid is popped so feet in the air
and comes down sprained in half a
dozen places.
| Skinny stands next as torture mill.
Every hand selects a large, knOtty
club and fits it snugly to his hand. A
small chunk of wood or rubber is all
that is needed to bring on the carnage.
The object is to hammer the chunk
through the enemies goal against
| their permission. In doing this it is
| immaterial where you hit a man-any
place will do, just so you hit him
good. Don't strike man bigger than
you are-if he is looking. Some fell
lows have a recoil that would surprise
you.
Girls skate, Or slide. They do their
ankles up in splints to keep them
from bending both ways for Sunday.
| They always pick out a willing slave
to lean upon and breathe down his
collar while they learn. Then they
walk all over him from the knee
down. Some of the fiercesr manual
labor ever discovered is in teaching a
heavy blonde schoolma'am to skate.
You explain the theory of it to her and
she says she knows it all backwards
and forwards. Then, just as you
seize her delicate paw with an air of
easy confidence, she shrieks in your
nigh ear and goes down like falling
chimney. You grab hold of her and
| lift till black spots chase each other
| across your range of vision. Getting
to her feet she manages to kick you in
both shins and you nearly bite your
| tongue Off to keep from Say1ng-a
word or two.
| After a year at hard labor you get
| her so she can stand alone without
| danger of throwing her arms around
you for the strangle hold. When she
| is sizing up what the other girls are
| wearing you forget her and lose your
self in the crowd.
A girl taking lessons in skating
will permanently cripple one man if
he doesn't get help. But after he is
crippled he won't have to teach an
other, so he doesn't care much.
Wet feet come arm in arm with
skating. You get these in several

There was roar of laughter; but

The Auto Era

automobile was the most respected
and at the same time despised indi-
vidual in our community. Well do
