The Tighten WOman's Work.

Women are coming into their own
every day on the farm. Time was
when Iabor-saving devices were
thought of only in connection with
farm work. But that is changing.
Woman's work at the best is hard, but
Is rendered much easier by the en-
ployment OF handy devices which cost
but little.
The telephone and the rural mail de-
livery have wrought great improve
ment in the lives of the farmers wife
and daughters of the farm and have
done more to cultivate the spirit OF
true neighborliness than anything
else

Squash Bugs.

Striped bugs and squash bugs, which
are some seasons so very destructive,
are directed to their favorite food by
the sense of smell, and most eff
fectfve way of battling them is to place
two or three moth balls in each hill.
The strong odor constantly given off
by these will SO overcome the natural
scent of the plants that few will find
them

the time of tasseling. The ears aver
aged 51a inches in length and 41s in
greatest circumference, with 16 to IS
rows of small grains

The Use OF PIaster IN Manure.
Land plaster of gypsum is sulphate
of lime. Plaster was formerly used
largely on clover, but now in many
sections of the country it is rarely
used except in stables or in manure
piles. This is because it has the
power to hold the ammonia by max
ing a chemical change, which holds
the ammonia or part of it as a solid.
In the soil plaster has some effect in
breaking up combinations of potash,
so they are available as plant food.
