Pump for the Garden.

A good pump should be part of the
equipment of every garden. For the
small garden a good bucket, COM
pressed air or knapsack pump will be
most satisfactory, while for larger
gardens barrel pump, with an at
tachment for spraying several rows
when occasion demands, or an auto
matte pump geared to the wheels of
the truck, will be found more economi-
cal of time and labor. The small
compressed air sprayer is handy, as it
leaves both hands free for use, and
is, therefore, useful if 1t is desired to
spray two or three small trees. posi-

why Pity the Farmers

Mr.. Mann of Geuda Springs, says a
Kansas newspaper, loaded large. fat
hog into his automobile and took 1t to
market in Arkansas CRY, where he
got a good price for the porker 1t
took him a mighty short time to get
the hog to town and get the cash for
it. A few minutes scrubbing fixed the
auto so that 1t did not smell like a
barnyard, and the hog probably en-.
joyed the ride. What's the use hold
ing meetings trying to improve con-
ditions Of farm life?

The pleasure that resides in art is identical with
that which dwells in nature. What the writer
painter does is to catch and fix for all time the vision
or emotion impression that yielded pain pleasure
to him. In seeming paradox. 1t may be said that he
singles out and stays the pregnant moments for the
only material he can work upon is his experience

Everything born of earth is more or less subject to
potent wtchery. The lady of desire sings to us in
murmur of running streams She weeps in the falling

gold and green and purple, and in winter with

Dipping stock for Lice,

Inere are various kinds OF storh
dips, and most of them are good. Their
use Is becoming more common because
their value Is better known than for
merry. Almost every stockman has
animals that are not thrifty, and be
donr know the reason why. It very
often happens that such animals are
troubled with parasites of some kind.
perhaps several kinds They are too
small to be seen with the naked eye
and the farmer tries different kinds
OF medicines, when an outside appli
cation of some disinfectant is the ONLY
remedy needed. When stockmen once
learn the value of dipping they need
no further encouragement. They keep
on dipping twice year, because they
know 1t pays both in dollars and in
satisfaction.
We have found crude oil one of the
best and most effective louise killers
and disinfectants. 1t makes an ex.
cellent dip for swine 1t will remove
all of the old scales and scurf and i'm.
prove the general appearance of the
herd.
When mixed with crude carbolIc
acid at the rate of one gallon of crude
carbolic acid to fifty gallons of crude
oil it makes cheap and effective dis
infectant for use In the hog houses,
hen houses and water holes in the hog
lot where hogs are accustomed to wal
low.
1t will, when used alone, prove a
very cheap oil to use on farm machin-
cry when 1t is stored away for winter.
It can be used with safety as a fly
repellant on all farm animals by the
use of sprayers, and will prove as we'll
adapted to that purpose as many OF
the more expensive dips and mixtures.
For cuts and bruises on farm animals
It is excellent and can be used with
safety. Use on cows teats when sore.

Testing Milk.

In some sections many of the best
dairymen are adapting the Holland
plan of combining and hiring men to
visit each herd one day in the month
and test the milk of each COW, thus
giving the owners an idea of which
cows are the ones that are paying for
their keep. This plan is very sen.
sible one and should be encouraged.
The cost is comparatively small, as

plan has greatly increased the average

business and it may become popular,

fathers.-Farmers and Drovers' Jour.

Edible Flowers of India.

Many edible flowers, it appears, are to
be found in India. One of the most APP
preciated grows on tree about which
we have very little informs ton, but
which in the country itself is named the
"mhowad" The natives consume an
enormous number of these flowers, whose
pale yellow corollae are pulpy and thick,
and prepare them in various ways. When
they are fresh they are put in cakes,
to which they give sweet flavor, but
they are more especially used for max
ing bread after they have been dried and
reduced to flour By allowing them to
ferment an agreeable wine is produced
and by distilling them a brandy is OBJ
tanned of which the Hindus are very
fond.-La Vulgarisation Scentidque.

IT was not long after the Knapp

large scale began again in Erie. This

glary clumsy way of stealing.
After the third robbery it became
evident that no lone burglar was at
work. Obviously there was gang en-

night were doubled and a vigilant, un-
ceasing watch kept, but the burglaries
continued as usual: One night house
in one end OF the town would be
robbed and the next night the bur.
glars would operate successfully in an
opposite direction. Murray, annoyed
by the audacioueness Of the criminals,
devoted all his time and energy to the
task Of running them down, but tho
only clue or trace Of them that he
could discover was q popularity In
