such flattering prospects for big

near Cornish, returning last night.
This means of travel afforded most
excellent opportunity of seeing the
very lest of everything. And Mr..
FRANKLIN says that every crop which
they saw seemed to be the best and
every farm which they passed seemed
to be more productive and richer in
growing wealth than was its prede-
cessor. The gentleman says that the
oats crop will be a big one and that
the grain is now ready for the reap
er. He says that the corn crop
seems to be an abnormally big one
and that it is simply fine. Hundreds
Of acres of this great feed and wealth

further that the acreage of cotton be-

capitol seemed extra large for even
this section, where big cotton crops
are the rule and not the exception
Further, the gentleman stated all
farmers seemed to be well up with
their work-having their cotton chop

Eyeglass wearers have long since
complained that people are careless
with umbrellas. Many pairs of glass
es have been knocked off and broken
by persons who selfishly refuse to
move an umbrella SO as to allow 9th

persist in dangerously spinning al
umbrella along a crowded street, en-,

PROPER CARE OF THE NAILS

back with the tip of your little finger
or the end of a hoof-shaped orange
wood stick, and show the half-moon
that is at the base of every well.kept
nail.
1t is an excellent plan If you want
pretty finger tips TO give them corn
meal soak every Low and then. Put a
tablespoon of white cornmeal in the
bottom of a small bowl and pour hot
water on It and let it stand until luke.
warm. Soak the fingers In it for five
minutes or so. This softens the cuti-
Gle at the base of the nails, soothes
any irritation that may be present, and
makes it easier to trim the nails in
shape. 1t also whitens the skin. Don't
cut the nails in too pointed a shape.
When the finger tips are rounded, 1t
only makes them look broader to cut
the nails. To make the fingers appear
as taper as possible the nails should
be trimmed to correspond with the
curve of the tips.

MUSIC SAVES A MANS LIFE

Beneto Plays Weird Tune.

Punxsutawney, Pa.-With the coils
of a python 25 feet long tightening
gradually around his body, James
Harve Stenger, manager for a car
nival company, escaped being crushed
to death only through the power OF
music to soothe the reptile after the
efforts Of six men had failed to dis
lodge It.
Mr. Stenger was experimenting the
unloading of a box Of snakes when
the python escaped. For an instant
the reptile seemed to be dazed, and
as Mr.. Stenger took a stick and tried
to push It through a door into a big
glass cage the snake turned like a
fash. In an instant the python en-
twined itself around Mr.. Stenger. pin.
ming his arms to his sides.
Six men went to Mr.. Stenger's aid
and attempted to pull the snake from
his body. The folds Of the big rep
tile. however, only drew closer, and
Mr.. Stenger was on the verge Of a
collapse, when Mile. La Beneto, who
owns the reptile, appeared with a
aageolet between her lips.
Stationing herself near the snake
she began to play a low, weird mel
ody, at the same time swaying hel
body to and fro gently. Raising its
head, the python began to sway In
rhythm with the player and the mu
sic, and gradually loosening its folds
from Mr. Stenger it cooled on the
! ground with its head swinging from
side to side
Slowly approaching the snake Mile
La Beneto, still playing gently, forced
it into the glass cage In the mean

PROPER CARE OF
TOOLS is BEST
Any implement Of Steel viii Rust
if Not Given the Very Best
of Attention.
CRy H. f. GRINsTEADN

Any steel tool will rust If exposed
to damp air, yet have found that
tools subjected to the following treat
ment every three months will not rust
unless actually thrown on the ground,
or exposed to hard rain.
Take two parts each Of graphite and
tallow, and one part gum camphor;
melt together, and If not soft enough
to form a stiff paste add more tatssw
or lard Remove all rust from the
steel surface, wipe dry, and apply the
paste. Let it remain on for "a hours
then rub dry.
Unless the tool is needed, even long
er than one day will be still better
for the tool to be covered with the
preparation. The above preparation
has the effect Of a coating of oil.

DESTROY CANADA
THISTLES IN YEAR
PeStiferOus Weed ReproduCeS It
self in Various WayS-HOw
to Eradicate.
CBy G. H. DACY.)


These thistles reproduce themselves
by roots and seeds-the seeds being
disseminated by the water, wind, snow,
in poorly graded grain, leaky grain
cars, etc.
Although the seeds are rapid repro
ducers the roots also are very effec-
tive in propagating the pests as they
spread quickly in all directions and are
readily transplanted by the pillow, drag
and cultivator in various parts of the
farm
The most effective measure in err
radicating Canada thistles is to bare
fallow the infested field for the sea
son. The land should be plowed deep
ly four or FIVE times and efficiently cul-
tivated with spring tooth harrow be-
tween the plowings throughout the
season.
This system of control effectively
practiced will absolutely eradicate the
thistles in one year. In exceptional
cases where weather or soil conditions
have been especially unfavorable it
has been necessary to pillow once more
the following spring and then to cult
vate frequently until time to plant
corn when crop Of this grain should
be sown-check row methodist that
intensive cultivation can be continued
Fall blowing followed by careful cul.
tivation and early spring blowing

rapidly and are shading the ground be
