Redeeming a Neglected Garden.

Redeemlng n Neglected Garden.
Discouraging as neglected garden
may appear, it Is not beyond redemp-
ton, even so late in the season-but
it must be taken hold of at once.
Stunted and failing crops, choked by
weeds, should be pulled out at once,
weeds and all, and burned, and the
ground plowed or spaded, and replant-
ed.
How much more satisfactory and
profitable it might have been to have
planted only half the space, and work
ed it well, than to have scattered the
available labor over the entire ground
and do nothing to perfection.
A garden with rows upon rows OF
all the delicious vegetables Of mid
summer and not weed to be found,
Is indeed a pleasant picture. But how
few Of that class are found! Instead
Of choice vegetables there are rank
weeds, and where order and beauty
should reign, desolation stares at one
In too many family gardens, caused in
the majority Of cases by simply "bit-
ing off more than we can chaw."

MiddIemen.

Retailers are necessary according to
present methods of doing business and
until farmers organize selling force
of their own middlemen will continue
to toll the farmers grist as thorough
ly as the traffic will bear. Peaches
may rot on the ground in Missouri
while selling for cents each in Chi
cago, but the farmer in Missouri is
helpless because he has no represen-
tative In the market center. The time
will come when farmers will have an
agent at each central point to handle
farm products and distribute them
either to the consumer or retail gro
Ger. When that time comes farmers
will come nearer getting what they
work for 1t is just as necessary to
sell right as to farm right.-Agricul-
tural Epitomist.

The Work Horse.

Oil meal or ground flaxseed is a
good remedy and preventive for con-
stipation.
In training colt teach him one
thing at a time and do that thor
oughly.
When horses have free access to
to suffer from worms.
If the horses shoulders are clean
the collar will not be much dirty.
Feeding a horse corn one day, oats
the next and something else the next,
is a good way to quickly invite in
digestion.

SETTING OUT 100000 TREES.
Railroad Preparing for the
Company's Future Needs.

The Pennsylvania railroad is planning
to set out this spring more than 100000
trees. This will make a total of $780,
600 trees planted in the last three years
to provide for some of the company's flu
ture requirements in timber and cross
ties. This constitutes the largest forest
ry plan yet undertaken by any private
corporation.
Heretofore the company's forestry op-
erations have been confined to a limited
area between Philadelphia and Altoona
This year, however, 65, 600 trees are be-
chen and New Brunswick, N. J. In adj
dition, there are to be planted within the
next month 100000 trees near Cone
WACO, Pa, 10000 in the vicinity of Van
Dyke, $4,000 at Lewistown Junction,
1000 at Pomeroy,. and 2O5,0OO at Den
holm.

A Narrow Escape.

A German shoemaker left the gas
turned ON in his shop one night, and
upon arriving in the morning struck a
match to light it. There was terrific
explosion, and the shoemaker was blown
out through the door almost to the mid
die of the street. A passerby rushed to
his assistance, and after helping him to
arise inquired if he was injured. The
little German gazed at his place of bust
ness, which was now burning briskly,
and said mo, / aindt hurt. But got
out shust in time. ell ?''-Argonaut.

Cows Giving Down Milk.


John Burrows, the well-known scien-
tist, in regard to cows giving down
their milk says: Many persons think
that giving down or holding up the
milk by the cow is a voluntary act.
In fact, they fancy the udder as a
vessel filled with milk, and that the
cow releases or withholds it just as
she chooses. But the udder is a
mandatory; it is filled with blood,
from which the milk is manufactured
while you milk. This process is con-
trolled by the cows nervous system.
When she is excited or in any way
disturbed, as by strangers or by TAX
ing away her calf or any other cause.
the process is arrested and the milk
will not flow. The nervous energy
goes elsewhere. The whole process is
as involuntary as is digestion in man
and Is disturbed or arrested in about
the same way.

PLANK BLOWN THROUGH TREE.
Remarkable Testimony to the Force Q
the Recent Georgia Tornado.


Each day brings to light some new
freak of the tornado which caused death
and destruction in this part Of the state
a few days ago.
As an evidence of the freakish force
of the wind big pine tree and large
plank on the property of S. M. Roberts,
about twelve miles from here, are now
joined as if done by an expert carpen-
ter.
Although the tree was large one the
plank was picked up and driven through
the center as neatly as if shot from a
gun. Not only was the plank shot
through the tree. but it went through
without tearing the tree.
The plank was picked up in the yard
of Mr.. Roberts sawmill and other
planks in the pile were not molested by
the wind. So singular does Mr.. Rob-
erts consider this action of the tornado
that he has posted a notice telling how
the plank was driven through the big
pine and ordering that it shall not be
cut down.-Atlanta Georgian.

Into the Hands of the Police.
Jewelry and gold watches to the value
of f4OO have been handed in at Scotland
yard under extraordinary circumstances.
A woman was travelling outside an ON
nibus from Paddington toward Edgware
road carrying with her a brown paper

with her what she thought to be the
MARCEL she had been carrying.
During her journey a well dressed man
sat next to her, also carrying brown
paper parcel. He left the omnibus a
Short time before she reached her destin-
alton. Reaching home she. was aston
ished to find instead of the soap the
jewelry and watches, which she con-
veyed to Scotland yard.
1t has ben ascertained by the police

a burglary at Mazda Vale a week ago.
1t is believed that the man was on the
way to the receiver at the time he made
the singular exchange of parcels.-Lon-

1t takes some ingenuity to burn sui
phur in vessel. as it tends to smoth-

be burned, a fire of cobs or sticks
soaked with kerosene must be built
above the sulphur and kept burning
until you see the blue flame of the
sulphur licking up through the wood
blaze
One way to disinfect the poultry
house with sulphur Is to dissolve one
half pint of turpentine and one-half
pint of tar in one-half gallon of kero-
sene. Soak corncobs in this solution,
and when ready to burn out the poul
