PUNCHING HIS HARD LUCK
Sufferer From Toothache Summoned
Philosophy to His Aid During
Period of Trouble.

Philosophers are not all dead yet"
said the dentist. Il met one this
morning who knocked me out of two
hours work on a day when ! have

me work overtime tomorrow, when
shall be crowded with engagements.
He was bowling with toothache.

Cant do it today" he said, I'm too
busy"
But you can't work when you are
crazy with the toothache?" | argued.
"Oh, yes can" said he. There
are half a dozen other things | want
done to me that hurt pretty bad, and
If l have them done when my tooth
is on the rampage they won't seem so
bad, because one hurt will neutralize
the other. | always take advantage
of a toothache to dispatch those dis.
agreeable jobs" .
Maybe not many people could
stand that kind of philosophy but ap
parently that man is going to get
away with it."

BUDDING is DELICATE WORK
Operation Requires Much Care for
Success and Should BE Done Be-
fore Bark Sticks to Tree.


The operation of budding must be
done carefully to succeed Use very
sharp knife. cut out the bud with
shield Of bark at least an inch
long and there should be a little
wood under the bud. The incision
in the stock must be carefully made
that the cut bark is not bruised.
After this bud Is placed, the op-
Grafton may all fail from improper
tying. The rafia for tying should be
wet first. then dried over night. draw
tightly covering all the shield, but not
the bud. Tie with double knot. After
two weeks this string must be cut and
removed, but at the same time the up
per end the shield must be retied. The
upper end unites with stock slowly,
and often loosens and rolls back. This
means failure. SO that the second
tying is needed to get good stand OF
buds. This work is done in July and
August always before the bark sticks
to the tree. while it is loose and easily
raised.

DISTINCT TYPES OF CABBAGE
There Is Much Variation in Shape
Color, Character and Texture of
leaf-AII Are Hardy.

There are three distinct types Of
cabbage with reference to the shape Of
the head-namely, round, oval and fiat.
Some varieties are distinct in type,
while others partake of two or more
shapes due to crossing in seed produc
ton. There is much variation in the
shape, color, character and texture of
the leaf, ranging from regular straight
edges, almost white, smooth and ten
der, to irregular, almost fringed edges,
dark purple color and coarse, tough
texture.
Generally speaking, all varieties are
hardy, but there is some variation in
hardness. Usually the purplish green
varieties with crinkled and fringed
leaves are harder than the whitish
green sorts with smooth, regular
leaves. The cold-resisting varieties
are also the most heat-resisting.

moon was a cold body.

The cowpea, when mixed with corn

Although sunfiower seed is a good

CHANGE STYLE OF DRESSING
Arrangement of Couture Must Be
Altered From Time to Time,
for the Best Results.

So much has been said Of the folly
of changing the couture to suit each
passing style that the other side Is
apt to be overlooked. Hair can be
worn too continuously in one style.
and If woman is not careful she
may find herself without any hair on
the top of her head in the place where
the hair ought to grow.

dour unless she wants broad path

is arranged. and there should be fire.

The benefit of these changes is re-
allied when one finds that dandruff
accumulates under the thickest part
of the hair, and If 1t is too long in
one spot there is danger of the trouble
becoming chronic.

TIMOTHY AND RED TOP HAY

fore Seed Ripens-Excellent for
All Young Stock.

ally get their wheat hauled into the
barn before commencing to cut tim
othy as the wheat is the more valu-
able crop. and should be hauled in be-
fore the grain is damaged by heavy
rains
When timothy is fully ripe. a good
plan is to cut as soon as the dew is
off in the morning. rake up in the aft
ernoon and rack and the next day haul
in or stack in the field. With a full
force of hands this Is the best and
cheapest way, the hay Is cut. cured and
stacked before 1t becomes so dry as

competent men make quick work. Red
top makes a slow growth at first and
ripens the latter part of July. 1t is
we'll to have field of red top for win
ter feed. This grass thrives best upon
low damp meadow land If plenty of
seed is sown, it will drive out almost
all weeds and grasses, and the land If
deep and rich will give heavy yield
of fine excellent hay, which all stock
are very fond.
The timothy and red tsp meadows
should not be pastured unless the Sec
ond growth is luxurant.
If possible the second growth clover
should be cut for seed. or for hay. The
second growth of clover will make
horses slobber in mid-winter, but the
hay is excellent for cows. sheep and
young stock.
