GOOD SUPPORTER FOR REINS
Keeps Lines From Getting Beneath
Horses Tall and Makes Driving
Easier and Safer.

More than q mere matter of con-
venience is-the rein supporter devised
by a California man. 1t not only
makes driving easier, but safer, for it
eliminates the danger Of a fractions
horse holding the lines under its tall
and getting the-bit in its teeth. A
base strap with an arched frame con-
nected extends over the crupper
straps and fastens to them. A wire
rod, bent to form a gutter for the
reins, rises from the arched frame
and over this the lines pass. Sup
ported In this way they never become
tangled nor get under the horses
tail. Anyone who has ever driven to
any extent knows how annoying it is
to get the reins caught under the
horses tail as the animal switches It.
Sometimes, too, the beast will hold
its tail down tight for several min
utes, preventing the driver from get

KEEP HABITS OF THE SEA
Sailors Light Their Pipes on Land Ex-

Shlpboard.

In q New York barroom where
many Of the bluejackets with the feet
for the Hudson-Fulton celebration took
their nightcaps before retiring to
their ships, q petty officer said to a
landlubber acquaintance:
"See how the boys hold their pipes!"
Almost every one Of them had the
bowl Of his pipe covered with the
arched finger Of his hand. -
"See?" said the petty oficer. Now
wait till one of them lights his pipe"
In a little while a sailor filled his
pipe, got out his match and faced the
open door Of the barroom. There was
not a breath Of breeze coming through
the door, but the sailor covered the
lighted match and the pipe bowl with
one hand while he was getting light,
and after he had thrown the dead
match away he continued to smoke
with his fingers arched over the pipe
bowl.
Force Of habit" said the petty Of
ficer. HE doesn't intend that the pi'

FARM NOTES.

Plant breeding ID not a new science.
No farmer should buy shelled corn
for seed.
The hardy vegetables can be sown
as soon as the ground is ready.
As q fertilizer, the peanut is almost
as valuable as when raised for food.
Cowpeas and soy beans sown the
latter part Of May make good green
manures.
Portable trellises Of wood or wire
are convenient for peas, running beans
and tomatoes.
All of the cabbage family do very
well II the seed is planted in hills,
then thinned out.
The peanut crop is extensively
grown in FIVE continents, but first
used as q delicacy in America.
The larger vegetables, as peas, corn,
tomatoes, etc., need rows three to four
feet apart, and melons even more.
There should be q great abundance
Of peas, lima and bush beans, and to-
matoes, for these are easily grown.
For use as a fertilizer, ground lime
stone should be fine enough to pass q
sieve having 80 meshes to the linear
inch.
There Is as much work, sometimes
more, seeing a weakly plant through
the season as there is caring for Q
robust, strong one.
The better the arrangement Of crops
with good provision for the supply Of
humus to the soil, the greater the
profit from farming.
As to garden tools, It Is best to own
a plow, a harrow, and horse cuE
tivator, II one can afford to, even II
the horse must be hired.
Peas, corn, beans, tomatoes, the
melon family and potatoes, should be
grown from seeds selected year after
year from the best specimens in ones
own garden.
Many of our best farmers practice
the system Of sowing some clover
seed with all grain crops and they
find that splendid returns are received
on money invested In this way.

Squash Cookery

Summer squash is considered
by health authorities one of the
best vegetables that can be eaten.
1t is best during the fal season,
when the plants are mature. 1t is
most easily digested and can be
served in a number of ways that
will prevent it becoming monoto-
nous on the bill of fare.
Baked Summer Squash. One
of the unusual ways of cooking
summer squash is to bake it. For
baking, wash but do not pare
the squash. Make a hole in the
top and scoop out seeds, stuffing
the hole with chopped squash or
cabbage or celery and green pep
pers chopped finely. Serve with
melted butter, they are delicious
this way.
Mashed Squash. - To serve
squash mashed, pare and cut in
two-inch cubes. Cook in as little
water as possible until tender.
Drain and place on back of range

steam a quarter of an hour; then
