SURE DEATH TO ALL INSECTS
Homemade Torch Shown In lllustra-
ton Should Find Place on Every
Farm-used for Many Things.

The homemade torch herewith illus
trated, or one similar in construction,
should find place on every farm,
says the Homestead. Such torches
are for sale in hardware stores, but
the prices asked for them seem rather
high, and then they are mostly used
by painters and the average farmer
seldom if ever gets sight of one Of
them. To make the torch shown in
the cut, secure any stout can that
will hold pint or more, preferably
an old oil can with a handle, drill a
hole in the center and place short
piece of one-fourth-inch iron pipe in
the hole as shown. It should extend
10 within half an inch Of the bottom
of the can and project above the top
about three or four inches. Place g
cap on the top and drill several very
small holes in same. There should be
about five holes, with one in the top
of the can. Make the holes one-thirty-

GOOD FOOD FOR POULTRY
There Should be Variety and While
Some Grains Are Favored Others
Are Not-Grit Needed.

Poultry food should be palatable
Some grains are the favorite food OF
chickens, while others are not. Rye
may be fed, but it is not generally
liked by poultry, and should never be
made the principal feed. 1t may be
used in a mixture with other grains,
and will be eaten by the flock. Rel
ish is one of the factors of proper
feeding. -..-
Food should be varied. The best
commercial poultry-foods on the mar
ket are combinations Of the common
farm grains. There are varying
amounts of each, according to nutri-
tive value and cheapness-wheat,
oats, corn, barley, rye, millet-seed,
caneseed, field peas, buckwheat, sun
fowerseeds, and grass-seeds. With
these are combined grit, shells and
charcoal. These foods produce good
results, mainly because Of the variety.
With a little instruction, one could
make such combination, for the
flock, of grains on the farm.

tect the toad and respect him for the
good he does to us all. Some obserV-
ing gardeners have said that a toad
is easily worth SO in a garden. The
point of the matter is that practically
all of the toad's diet Is Of animal Or
igin. Nearly every element of its
food is made Up of insects which are
pests in fields and gardens.
We have heard much of the value OF
birds and of the necessity of protect
Ing them. 1t is time we began to
care for the toad, as WELL. for their
capacity for insect meat is truly aston
ishing, writes F. B. Swingle in the
Northwestern Agriculturist. Exam1na'
ton of 149 toads' stomachs proved
that SO per cent. of their food was OF
the sort indicated above. Cutworms,
ants, bugs and beetles, spiders, pota-
to bugs, acknowledged worms, wee
wills, tent caterpillars and grasshop-
pers were eaten by thousands. Wire
worms and army worms, crickets and
cucumber bugs, rose bugs and plum
curculio were relished just as well.
The gypsy moth, the cabbage moth
and grape caterpillars constitute his
fayorite food in certain localities. And
it is remarkable what storage capacity
is exhibited by the toad. In one stom-
ach II thousand-legged worms were
found; in another 81 tent caterpillars;
in one IS gypsy moth, and in another
55 army worms. Of course 1t would
be difficult to determine the number
of insects that toad at liberty would
consume in an entire season. 1t is
sufficient to know that they are we'll
worth protecting.

SHARPENS THE LAWN MOWER
Pennsylvania Man InVents Apparatus
for Revolving Blades Against Wall
of Abradng Material.

Heretofore the customary way to
sharpen lawn mower was to take a
milestone and rub it back and forth
along the blades. A Pennsylvania man
has invented an apparatus for sharp
ening mowers which should prove
less troublesome and quite as etrec-
tive. A base has standards to re-
ceive the shaft of the rotary blade OF
a lawn mower and cogged wheel,
with a handle, to- engage the wheel
on the shaft and turn the latter. An
inclined wall of abrading material is
arranged so that 1t can be fixed to
meet the revolving blades, and as they
pass over its rough surface they are

and vermin proof. The apertures for
ventilation are so arranged that YER
min cannot crawl up the sides
and enter them, and the openings
through which the mother hen and
the little chicks pass in and out
are in a slidable section, so that
the egress Of both, or of the hen
only, can be cut off at will.
Even when closed, however, the ven
tilation is such that the air is always
pure. Another advantage of this coop
is that the top bottom and sides are
detachable, and the whole affair can
be knocked down in an instant.

INDIGESTION in Sheen.

Indigestion is very common all
ment among sheep during the winter
months, and attacks are frequent, es-
pecially while the flock is confined to
dry feed. The ailment may be char
acterized as a failure of the natural
changes which feed undergoes in the
alimentary canal Sheep confined to
a dry, narrow ration, without any form
of succulent food, are more apt to
suffer attacks Of indigestion than
when on pasture. Ordinarily the all
.ment is not serious, but if permitted
to run its course takes a more acute
stage and frequently results fatally.

Mill Girls and Store Girls.

The following from Fibre and Fa-
brie may be a little over drawn in
places, but there is a perceptible ele-
ment of truth in it of sufficient size to
set US to thinking:
If any other industry was looked
into with half the malice that char
acterizes the work in the textile indus
try, then the "uplift" movement could
be taken seriously. But every time
the work begins and ends with the
textile field, and some of the most
prominent of the reformers are share
holders in leading mills and the chief
kickefs because dividends are not
large.
They lose sight of the fact that mil
lions of dollars have been spent by
textile mills to provide houses, recre-
alton buildings and grounds for mill
workers, and mills have been fully
equipped with the latest sanitary i'm
provements, and in no industry do
men and women work under better
conditions as to light, heat and venti-
lation.
AS the leading factors in reform are
women, most of them entirely lacking
in domestic responsibility, and pos
sessing no knowledge of what the
American home really is it might be
to compare the mill work
ers with the department store girls.
We will divide each into two classes.
First, girls with no homes. and, sec
ond, girls living at home. In the mills
the average wage is about $40 weekly,
in the department stores the average
is not over Sc The mill girl has no
occasion to dress only as decency dc
tates. At her work, serviceable plain
clothes that are inexpensive are all
that is necessary. In the department
stores dress is essential and the work.
ing outfit of a department store girl
costs more than the working outfit OF
ten mill girls. When the dressup time
comes for the average mill girl, she
has all that fashion dictates in keep
ing with her position and she has hon
est money to pay for what she gets.
There is no occasion to ask where the
money came from, as with a two
thirds higher wage and one-half the
working dress cost, she has the de-
partment store girl or the average fac
tory girl outclassed from beginning To
end
But the reformers are teaching girls
that mill work is a disgrace and ma
tive girls are rushing TO positions
where the pay is less, the cost OF nv
ing doubled and the moral risk dan
gerous, while the foreign girls are GO
ing to the mills and saving money
every week in the year. The foreign
girl workers in our mills are rather
poor material for the reformers. They
get the real money every week ana
they are not seriously impressed with
the reform idea that they are over
worked and underpaid. American
girls would make better women if they
would refuse to listen to the reform
ers and get back to the mills before
the alien workers land all the good
positions.
