the grasshoppers are thickest. II
the insects are invading a garden or
potato patch, it is well to scatter the
bran mash about the Borders. In
the fields of alfalfa or grain, the
bran should be scattered where the
grasshoppers congregate on ditch
banks and dry places. All the in
sects will not find and eat it, but many
will and often the crop can be fairly
well protected. The writer has never
used this preparation against young
grasshoppers, but some farmers state
that the crops may be completely pro-
tected by its use, while others claim
that they will not eat it.
OF course, 1t will not do to scatter
his substance where chickens will
be likely to pick it up, and none Of
the mixture must be left where do
nestle animals are apt to get it or
be fed from the vessel.

Started Separator With Man Inside.

Atchison.-AleXander Craig, work
ing on threshing machine near here,
was seriously and perhaps fatally in
jured. The fan in the separator was
not working right. Craig crawled in
to fix it and some one gave the signal
to start the machine. The belt was
thrown off before the machine was
fairly started but not until Craig's leg
was broken, his ankle crushed and his
left foot mashed.

Auto Not plspIacina Horse.

Topeka.-Nine thousand, three hun
bred and one automobiles. valued at
S5,372,921. are owned by residents of
Kansas, according to figures given out
by the state tax commissioner. The
total assessed valuation of personal
property in the state is $555, 1854.
That the automobile is displacing the
horse is disproved by the returns,
there being more horses in the state
than there we're a year ago,and the
value of horses far exceeding that of
automobiles The returns show there
are 1,042,451 horses, with a total as
sessed valuation of 800, S99,S6S.

A New Version.

Lawyers have a peculiar system of
abbreviation, such words as trustees,
executors being cut down to trees,
exors, and admors. This practise led
to an amusing slip on the part of a
solicitor who, somewhat late in life.
abandoned his profession and entered
the church A few Sundays after his
ordination he startled his congrega-
ton while reading the lesson by deliv-
ering one of the passages as follows:

WAGON BED CONVERTED
INTO DIFFERENT USES
Agrcu1turist Hardship to Be Obliged
Buy Build Number of Vehicles
n

The agriculturist has often found 1t
a hardship to be obliged to buy or build
a number of wagons for the. multifari-
GUS requirements incident to the OPP
GRAFTON of a farm. The wagon that
could serve to carry boxes or Grated
vegetables and berries to market
would not be of any use when haying
time came around. When 1t was neces-
sary to carry calves or live stock, still
another wagon must be called into
service.
While reapers, threshers, and other
farm implements have been continually
improved, the farm wagon has re-

navy. The American shipbuilder has
the reputation of cultivating a margin
of safety and turning out boats which

all the graduates of the domestic

The remarkable versatility of the
new wagon bed is secured by hinged
malleable iron pieces attached to the
sides. These support two folding sec
lions on each side. The strain which
is put upon these pieces when heavy
loads are placed on the wagon makes
it imperative that they should be of
strong, dependable material.

Good Exercise.

There is no harm in pigs roofing if
they are in field where roofing will
do no harm. Pigs can secure much
feed by roofing and the exercise will
do them good. Where troublesome
roots infest the soil they will often
eradicate them if allowed to do so.
The fattening hog should not be al
lowed to root, as the exercise con-
sumes too much feed and energy.
