Changes of Climate.


A scientist who recently investigated
Enc causes of secular variations iii tenn
perature at the earth's surface thinks
that they are more probably due TO
changes In the amount Of carbonic
acid in the atmosphere than to varia-
lions in the heat Of the sun. Il the
amount Of carbonic acid that the air
Row contains was diminished alittle
more than half, the mean temperature
all over the earth would, it is stated,
drop about eight degrees, which would
be sufficient to bring on another gla-
cial period. On the other hand, an in
crease of carbonic acid to between two
and three times tbs present amount
would raise the mean temperature is
degrees and renew the hot times of
the Eocene epoch.

AGarien Tools. y

KtpIing says that a soldier is no
better than his feet, and it is equally
true that gardener is no better than
his tools. Much muscle, time and
perspiration is being wasted at this
very moment because of the use of Inn
proper tools, or the misuse of the
proper ones for the purpose Most Of
this waste of time is due to lack of
information about tools on the part Of
the user, and the misinformed pur-
chaser can secure little Intelligent
information from the average hard
ware clerk, as most Of them seem to
have been recently promoted from
the ribbon department or the soda
fountain.
It is much easier to do garden work
with sharp tools. Every stroke Is
clean and true and it goes where it is
sent with half the effort dull tool
requires.

reputed to spend three times as much

ished after Delilah shipped his locks
so Senator Thomas of Colorado found
his official identity lost after paying a
visit to a barber shop in the capitol.
He even was spurned by the senate
doorkeepers.
Senator Thomas long has gloried in
waving name. But when the sizzling
heat of an unusually hot spring day
settled on Washington it ceased to be
a source of qualification or glory.
The senator stood the discomfort as
long as he could and then decided to
be shorn An overzealous barber
shipped the statesman's locks down to
the scalp.

der's apparently bald head. You'll

leries down the corridor to your right. y
The senator was rescued by a col
league, who disclosed his identity to
the embarrassed keeper of the door.
The barber, at last reports, was said
to be in hiding.

LEVEL CULTURE FOR COTTON
Practieed by Tennessee Farmer for
Several Years and Found to Be
Quite Profitable.

cultivation Of cotton for several years
and find am able not only to secure
larger yield but the land does not

easier cultivated.

can almost thin my cotton to a stand
which enables 1t to grow off very

and can at least hoe twice as much
a day as where cotton is planted on

A Cold Frame for Fall.

1t is really remarkable what results
can be had in the garden long after
the frost comes, by the use of prop
erly built cold frame. The most salts
factory frame we have used is made in
sections, three by six feet-the num-
Der of sections to be used depending
on how much space you want to de-
vote to late plants.
The cold frame is nothing more
than four boards nailed together to
make the sides, and it should slope
slightly toward the south. This is
then covered with sash, made of light
wood, covered with cloth. Water
proof material may be gotten for this
latter from most of the large seed
stores, and is preferable on account
of its durability.
Success with cold frames in the fall
depends on getting your plant we'll
started before the frosts come. A
good plan is to build your frame work,
and good size would be six by twelve
feet. This would require four cloth
frames to cover it, and the total ex-
for materials. Inside this Enclosure
can be planted any late summer vege-
tables that you want to raise. II the
sun Is particularly hot, put the cover
frames on during the middle OF the
day, but otherwise just give the plants
the same attention you would II
planted in the spring.
When danger OF frost is at hand,
put the cover frames on every night,
taking them of in the morning, but
when the weather gets still colder,
leave these cover frames on all the
time. You will be surprised at the
excellent crop Of late vegetables you
will have when all your neighbors'
gardens are desolate.
If you want to have vegetables all
through the winter, you must replace
the cloth frames with glass about No
vember l. and by this means some of
the harder plants, like radishes, beets,
string beans and onions, can be had
practically all winter, though it will
probably be well for winter use to
bank your frame all around with fresh
horse manure, which would turn your
cold frame into hot frame.
Among the flowers, violets, panstes,
English daisies and primroses all will
grow well during the winter In cold
frame covered with glass.

CAT AND RATHER BATTLE
First Snake Story Of Season Comes

Of his time sharpening his too1s as dc
! the European workmen, but he pro
duces nearly twice as much finished
| product thereby. The same principle
applies to the use of garden tools
Keep them sharp and in good working
order.
A fiat, fine file is mighty handy to
have about. With it you can sharpen
your hoe, spade, trowel, cultivatol
teeth, grass shears and lawn mower
The file will make an ideal cutting
edge on these tools and this edge
should have a perfectly fat bevel, al
an angle of about 45 degrees. Hold
tt" tool firmly and use little ma
chine oil to help the file cut the steel
OF course, edged tools, like the
sickle, scythe, and pruning shears,
have to be ground on gr1ndstone or
emery stone, and then resharpened
from time to time with a milestone.
The bevel of the edge must be as
acute as possible on this class OF
tools.
The best tool for spading up soil is
not the spade, but the spading fork.
It penetrates the soil much easier and
pulverizes it more in turning over.
If the spade is preferred, it should
have as fat blade as possible, to
prevent clogging.
The hoe is the most useful tool In
the small garden and it should have
large and heavy blade. The addi-
tlonal width will do more work with
the same number Of strokes and the
heavy head does more effective work
because of it's added momentum.
A rake is of rather small importe nee
after the seed is once planted, but it
is an excellent and practically in
dispensable implement for leveling and
pulverizing the seed bed. Use cast
iron rake of the narrow type. The
wide ones are too hard to handle.
For the larger garden, hand cul-
tivator Or wheel hoe Is fine and a
great time and muscle saver. With it
the entire garden can be hoed easily
in the same length of time one takes
to hoe tenth of it by hand. We pre-
fer the single, high wheeled type,
which runs between the rows, as it
will work close enough and pushes
easier. Work 1t with the cultivatoP
teeth early In the season to loosen
the soil and force the roots to grow
deeply, changing to the weed cutting.
horizontal blades later on. It is q
real pleasure to cultivate the garden
with one of these machines and they
cost only a couple of dollars.

Our county is extensively drained,

KILLING Fowls.

The French poulterer kills his
fowls by disfocating the Reck with a
swift back chuck given close to the
head. At once the dressing begins so
that it may be completed before the
body cools. The legs and wings are
tucked close to the body which is
placed breast downward against a
board. A moist cloth is spread on
the back which imparts fine grain
appearance to the flesh. A weight is
applied to secure the required market
fairness and when thoroughly cold the
birds removed, packed carefully and
closely in crates or cases according to
their destination.

Pays to Spray.

In the care of orchards, spraying has
become the insurance of the fruit
grower. and when properly carried on,
has resulted in larger profits each
year. It is true that the work is not
easy, and some years spraying may not
seem entirely successful. due TO either
bad season or the work having been
improperly done. but taking one year
with another. it pays to spray.
