THIS LITTLE OLD WORLD.

This little old planet is rolling along
To the Tilt of laugh and rollicking
song,
And ever a welcoming smile
And better and better it's growing
each day,
And love bending over to brighten the
way,
And tighten each wearying mile.
This little old earth is haven of rest,
With blossoms strewn over it's mother
ly breast,
And sending their fragrance around !;
There's ever a word of the kindliest
cheer
To gladden. our hearts when the
journey grows drear,
While pleasure and plenty abound.
This little old world is a refuge of
love,
With rapturous skies bending DER us
above,
And little ones clasp1ng our hand;
While eyes, all alight, smile the joy
that they know
Back into our own, with heart all
aglOw.
And yearning we we'll understand.
This little old world is beautiful
sphere,
While Love leads the way and is
lowering near,
To guide us along on our way.
1t radiates joy, ii our hearts are al1ght
With all that is happy and cheerful
and bright,
Wherever we're led day by day.

Get Tools Ready for Harvest. o..n

These hot, growing days for crops
should not be lazy days for the farmer.
Right now is good time to look over
the tools you will be using the next
few months. Get them into shape for
use. See what you are needing in
new tools and then go to town and get
them. Within a month you will be
mighty busy and not have time to
do so. There are not many farmers
who put off the important things
connected with running farm. They
will buy a reaper in plenty of time,
but if they have one they don't always
see to it that bolts are tight, gears in
perfect condition, wheels oiled or
knives sharp. The trifles seem so
little that even the best of us are apt
to overlook their Importance or the
expensive delays that a number of
trifies can cause. Not long ago [
heard the head of department in a
large manufacturing plant say
"Well, I haven't accomplished
thing today, and l have been busy
every moment" He had been busy,
he explained, strengthening out trifies
that had ben overlooked by others.
To mention some of these trifes-
do you need corn knives, hay knives,
Ratchet, axe, hammer. tools for re-
pair work or for new buildings, hay
or header forks? OF course, one
could easily make the list much
longer, but these will suggest Others
A catalogue of good tools is some
thing that ought to be part of the
working library of every farmer. One
of the handiest that we have seen is
the 1O4- page book of Keen Kutter
goods made by the Simmons Hard
ware Company, Inc, St. Louis and
New York. Your hardware dealer can
probably supply you, but If he will
not, write to the nearest address and
one will be sent you.

THE GARDEN.

Prune lilacs, wigelias, spireas after
they bloom. Take out all dying canes.
Prune light, simply shaping the
shrubs.
For asters mix little hard wood
ashes in the soil. Don't water any
more than you have to and don't wet
the leaves when the sun is up.
Mulch the sweet peas with grass
from the lawn. Spray the vines with
clear water to dislodge the red spider.
Cut the blossoms, pulling them off
injuries the vines.
Water the soil about the rose bushes
with liquid fertilizer.
Let the toads and garter snakes stay
in the garden. They eat all kinds of
slugs, bugs and perhaps every kind of
insects but potato bugs.

them on a rusty old dripping pan or
into an iron kettle. Set aside until
the next day then grind five times;
do this for six to eight days or until
the mass is soft, like putty an can
be rolled into beads. Ii one can't
get them the same size measure by
thimble or anything that will make
them twice the size they are to be
when finished. Place them on plates
to dry the next day, roll again if they
are not perfectly round. Pierce with
a hat pin, being sure that the hole is
directly through the center of the
bead and that it is large enough to
carry a heavy string. Set aside to
dry. 1t will take quite number of
days to have them get hard. 1t one
likes them polished, oil clean little
salt sack with olive oil, shake in some
powdered pumice stone, put in the
beads and shake until they are
smooth and glossy. If one prefers,
they can be left to polish themselves
By constant wearing and friction
against the clothing they will in time
become beautifully smooth. A piece
of copperas the size of small bean
may be added to the petals the first
time they are ground will help to
make them black. They can be strung
in many ways, alone or with colored

ly possessed. The effect of the pale
pink with the jet black is very pretty,
one pink and one black. The gold
and silver are strung two of the color
followed by one of black. Some have
every other bead large black one.
Most strings contain one hundred
and fifty rose beads. This number
makes long string to go around the
neck and tie in knot in front.
Other strings are made of big black
beads; the string just long enough to
go around the neck with no colored
beads combined. In fact one may
string them as the fancy dictates and
be in style. 1t seems that every
woman is rose bead crazy, for there
is scarcely family but what are in
the business and no one is ashamed
of the stained hands. However, the
black can be removed with lemon
juice if no soap is used in washing
the hands.
These beads are just the thing for
Christmas gifts and are no more work
than many other presents. They can
be made of other flowers. Two women
who had no roses found substitutes,
one in sweet peas, the other in
dahlias. They had splendid success,
but the rose beads have a beautiful
fragrance that will last as long as the
beads do. The warmth from the body
brings out this sweet odor so it is a
pleasure to wear them.
The long strings sell from five to
twenty five dollars, according to
quality, manner of strlnging and
shape of beads.
