FLAT-IRoN FACTS


The best iron-stand is brick. 1t
is a non-conductor of heat. and far
preferable on that account to the
most elaborate open stand.
Irons that are heated on the top of
the range or fire should be stood up
on piece of polished tin. They heat
more quickly, and are kept quite
clean. The lid of a biscuit-tin does
admirably for this.
If you bIackIead and polish very
thoroughly the base and handle of
your iron, it will keep hot much long
er, for the polish keeps the heat from
radiating off. Mix little tuTps and
methylated spirit with the blacklead
to get a hard, brilliant polish.
The best iron-cIeaner is a piece of
wire gauze. 1t is better than sand
paper, for the dirt falls through the
holes, and is not rubbed into the iron
again.

Baltimore can well approve of the

more attractive as well as for a larger
and more prosperous city can well
consider. While good care is taken of
the trees in city parks and squares.

neglected, allowed 10 die and then
rarely replaced. Yet it is no great
task to make a tree grow along the
sidewalk. A little careful trimming,
a %loosening Of the earth at the roots
now and then, a watch for bugs and
borers, that's about all If the tree be
strong and healthy when it is put in
the ground. OF course, now and then
an accident will happen and the tree
be unrooted or broken by a runaway
horse or a careless driver, but even
then it can be easily replaced and
when young a box placed around it,
SO as to shield it from harm.
Let us hope that this movement
will succeed. A thoroughfare with
handsome, healthy trees on either side
is a city beauty spot and a valuable
city asset. Land is too valuable in a
metropolis to allow the creation and
maintenance of large lawns, except in
suburban districts, but there is plenty
of ROOF for trees, even in streets on
which traffic is very heavy.
Arbor day, established to encourage
tree-planting, has amounted to little
in Baltimore, outside Of the school.

to practical use for civic betterment
and civic beauty. Plant a few now
and you will be surprised at the re-

Villages and small towns in all parts
of the United States would do we'll to
follow the example OF Williamstown,
Mass. There the town council has
adopted a scheme proposed by Presi-
dent Garfield of Williams college, and
providing that there shall be planted
annually along the roadside Of the
town a number of trees that shall be
valuable for commercial as well as
ornamental purposes. President Gar
field, it seems. derived his idea from
France, where the plan has been car
ried out successfully and has been
found to be decidedly worth while.
Conditions vary in different towns
and villages Of course, and in some
a scheme of this sort might be I'm.
desirable or impracticable. These.
however. are the exceptions, and for
a majority Of our smaller communities
adoption of DR.. Garfield's plan would
be an excellent thing. One must
wait a long time, it is true, before the
trees thus planted become valuable
commercially, and 1t may be that the
public fund would never be swelled
very largely by income derived from
them. Yet II in France that income is
found to be sufficiently large to take
care Of the towns most beautiful or.
naments, its trees. and in addition
leave something over for other pur-
poses, there seems to be no good rea.

be true in this country. q

"Stop" Makes Biunder.
Very soon the beat began, and
shouts of "Wharlu" filed the air. 1t
was silence for a space. and then a
shot was fired on my right, following
the "woof-woof" Of a bear as he dashed
down towards the heaters. The fool

hit him with the shotgun. There was

bear had met a beaten on his way

him severely about the body. The poor
fellow looked done for; there was no
time to stop, and l rushed on, to find
the bear mauling another man. On

again. Then the head shikari, with
great presence Of mind and pluck.
came from behind a bush, stalked the
dead bear carefully, and at two yards
fired, but unfortunately missed, even
at that range. He would not believe
it was really dead, and kept saying,
"Kulba dhar, sahib," and was not con-

then the rajah came putting through

the Great Terrapin, they were not sure
that they could defeat the animals.
while they talked about what they
could do to win, two little animals, no
bigger than mice, came creeping up
the tree and sat down in front of the
eagle. They told the eagle that they
wanted to play on the side of the birds.
But said the eagle, you have four
feet; you belong with the animals!'
Then the little creatures that the ami
mails had laughed at them for being
so small and would not let them play;
and the eagle took pity on the tiny
fellows and said that he would let
them play. But how about wings?
They all studied about how to get
wings for the two little mouse-like
creatures, and then the hawk remem-
bered that they had a drum which
they used in the dance, and over the
head of this drum was stretched the
thin skin Of a grounding. Why not
cut a piece of that skin and stretch it
on cane splints in the shape Of wings
and fasten the wings to the forelegs
of the little fellows?
80 the birds got one of the little
mouse-like creatures fitted with the
wings cut from the head Of the drum;
but then they found that they had used
all the grounding skin they had. And
to make the other little fellow ready
to play, some of the strong birds pulled
with their beaks at the skin between
its forelegs and it's hind legs until it
was so stretched that the little fellow
could sail right across from one tree
to another.
The one with the wings, the birds
called the bat, and the other was
called the flying squirrel. And when
the ball game began, both the bat and
the flying squirrel helped to win for
the birds. And among all the players
the bat was best because he could
dodge better than any of the rest.
80, when you grow up to be a ball
player, you will know that you are
good If you hear the people call you a
bait"

GETTING SPRING
ONIONS TO FRONT
Fresh Vegetables Put Up in Neat
Packages Are Always in De-
mand in All Big Cities.

(By LAVILL.A WRIGHT MACOMBER-)
Having discovered, after several
seasons of experience, that large size
sets yield better than the small ones
and occupy no more space, we sort
out our small, even sized sets In early
spring and sell to the stores, retaining
all the medium or large left over
onions to set for marketing.
Often grocers who have a large
amount of grown onions left over in
their cellars are glad to get rid of
them for little or nothing and they
make the best Of sets even when the
sprouts are spindled for they soon
straighten out of doors and have near
ly a week the start Of those not al
ready sprouted.
We set our onions just as soon as
the ground can be plowed and roughly
leveled, leaving enough space between
the closely set rows to cultivate with
a wheel hoe. A cold snap or light
snow does not hurt them except to
retard growth and we find that the
sets must be placed in the ground and
pushed along for market at the earli-
est possible date to meet the first de-
mands, which, before town gardens
begin to bear, are brisk.
Our onions are placed on the mar
ket as soon as the bulbs begin to
show slightly rounded bottoms and
our customers prefer them at that
stage rather than when the bottoms
are nicely rounded and. the onion
flavor more pronounced. The extreme
tips of the bunch only are clipped
to give a heater appearance and they
are tied well down onto the tops that
the string may not cut into the tender
white part.
AS our orders are usually sent In
the day before, the onions are pulled
in the evening and left standing. Don,

birth to insure a good start in life.
Contrary to the prevailing opinion
among farmers, the bot which infests
the stomach of the horse is often
harmful to both young and old ami
mails, and may be especially disastrous
to colts. The bot is the larval stage
of the horse botf1y. The botfiy repro
duces by depositing light yellow, oval
eggs, which are attached by the adult
female to the hair of the legs, breast,
and neck. The eggs hatch; then the
horse ticks itself and some of the
small larvae are taken through the
mouth into the stomach, where they
attach themselves firmly to the lining.
By their parasitic tendencies a large
number of bots covering the lining OF
the stomach damage the Interior OF
that organ, prevent digestive action,
and In some cases cause the horse to
remain in such a poor condition that
death may ensue 1t is probable that
many cases of poor condition in horses
thought to be due to worms are really
due to heavy i%nfestation with bots.
A very effective treatment which
will remove bots within "a to 4S hours
is as follows: The day preceding the
treatment a small amount of hay and
a moderate amount of oats is given In
the morning; in the evening food Is
withheld and a purgative given-Bar-
bados aloes, l ounce; or raw linseed
oil, 1 pint. The day of the treatment,
at 6 O'Clock in the morning, give 3
drains of carbon bisulphid in a gelatin
capsule; at 7 o'clock repeat the dose
in the same manner; and at s o'clock
give the third ard last dose, making
in all 9 drains of carbon bisulphid In
three geletin capsules.
The above treatment is for the adult
horse. For a yearling colt half the
quantity of carbon bisulphid used for
a mature horse will give the desired
results.
If properly administered, the gela-
tin capsule reaches the stomach in.
tact. but soon dissolves, and the car.
bon bisulphid rapidly evaporates, suf
locating all bot larvae and other para
sites with which 1t comes in contact,
but not injuring the horse. Worms
are quite often expelled as well. This
remedy has been used with a large
number Of animals, and has proved
J successful.

Every year thousands of colts are
lost through the bad handling of brood
mares. AS a general rule it is safe to
say that farmers do not appreciate
how easily a mare with foal can be in
jured.
1t does a brood mare no harm to be
worked gently up to within ten days
or two weeks of foaling, but if she is
subjected to sudden strain by being
forced to pull a big load out of a tight
place or is driven through heavy mud
or deep snow drifts, trouble Is almost
sure to follow.
One of the most common use of
injury to mare in foal is slipping on
the ice in the early spring. If the
mare must be driven she should be
shod with light, sharp shoes, but she
should never be used on the road
when it is avoidable.
Swinging doors of box stalls are
also prolific sources of danger as a
mare may be caught in a half closed
door. A blow OF the body with a
heavy halter in the hands of a hot
tempered man may cause the loss Of
a foal. Mares with foal should lever
be driven. but always led.
Mares with foal, particularly when
close to the foaling period, are apt to
be quarrelsome, and If two or more
are permitted to run together, there is
always danger that they may be in
jured in a fight. A kick in the abdo-
men has caused the loss of thousands
of foals.
The mare with foal should have
light exercise, but it is always safer
to work her gently than to allow her
to run in the pasture with other
horses, particularly if they have free
access to the open door of the barn.
Mares are frequently injured by be-
ing crowded against the door jamb by
other horses when entering or leaving
the barn.
If the mare is with foal in the stable
keep the premises perfectly clean at
all times, with plenty of clean, soft
bedding. AS soon as the foal arrives.
all the bedding should be at once re-
moved and burned, and the floor
should be thoroughly cleaned and
sprinkied with d~isinfectant.
The colt should have constant care
for several days Immediately after

To turn the waste places of the city,
the vacant lots and unsightly lawns,

along these lines is set forth. The

LITIGATION of parkings and back yards
of the city and general stimulation
of interest in landscape gardening
have been gone into with enthusiasm
by the workers of the association and
their labors have shown surprising re-
suits.
One of the noticeable facts concern.
ing the work is that a major portion
was done during the past year by lit.
tie children. And it is in building up
the gardening inclinations of the little
one that the elders are becoming much
interested and lending a hand them
selves. The children, having acquired
a taste for gardening, are the ones
who are to make the capital beautiful
in the years to come. 1t will fall up.
on them to enlarge the park spaces,
preserve the trees and encourage the
planting of dooryard flowers and flow
ering shrubs. The children have ia.
ken up the gardening idea as they
would take up a e game. They
have shown unusual t~horoughness and
the utmost joy in their work, and even
better results are expected from their
efforts during the spring and summe
to come.
