include certain variety of white and

whitish mixture which is the base
of the enamel. This mixture must be

BORING CLAM OF PACIFIC

The phola. or boring clam of the

curious creatures known to science.
Although almost universally known as
the rock oyster" the bivalve is q
member of the clam family and makes

ness that are covered by the sea ex.
cept at very low tide.
The creature begins boring into the
lodges when very minute using it's
sharp shell as rasp. The shell is
replaced by secretions as fast as worn
away. When it penetrates the rock
about six inches, 1t ceases from its
labors. Its nourishment is obtained
from the infusoria swarming in salt
water The phola is considered a
great deiicacy by epicures and is in
demand at the summer resorts along
the coast. In many localities the
CLAIMS are blasted from the lodges
with dynamite. Lately quite a trade
has developed on Puget sound for the
CLAIMS, which are found in great pro-
fusion on the shores of the inland
sea. They are shipped to many rail-
road centers.

(By J. M. BELLY

Many people are looking for bar
gains in horses and mules, especially
at this season of the year.
The farmer thinks he can, no doubt,
attend public sale in the large cities
and pick up something a little sore
but just as good for work as a first
class animal" In this he LIS mistaken
as he will soon find out.
The bargains are all more or less
crippled in one way or another and 1t
will be well to remember that the old
saying that Mature never forgives an
injury" holds good most certainly
with horses and mules.
.Spavins, ringbones, side bones,
sweeny, naricular lameless, sprung
knees, contracted heels, cooked ankles
and other similar ailments are fixtures
In 80 cases out of 100.'
The writer has bought and sold
horses for over 80 years and can
hardly recall an incident where one
of the cripples has ever been made
serviceably sound, much less actu2lly
sound.
So the farmer can bear in mind the

fact that when he buys q Knocked
up" city horse. that he is taking long
chances and he had better pay
decent price and get an animal that Is
perfectly sound, although the pur'
chase price be considerably more.
These sore, stiffened horses or mules
may do fairly good work on soft,
plowed ground but when it comes to
using them on the road for any pur'
pose they do not fill the bill and most
farmers have some hauling on the
thoroughfares nearly every month OF
the year.
There is no reason why the farmer
should not have sound, we'll matched
team-one that can do the regular
field work, do service on wood and
when the occasion requires, take the
family to the neighboring town or
church in proper style.
And another thing, the hired man
takes little interest in working a mis-
matched, foot sore team but much
prefers one that is sound and one that
responds to good attention, which he
is generally willing to bestow upon
them.

TESTING PRECIOUS STONES

Can you tell real diamond from
an imitation? Genuine diamonds can
best be recognized by their hardness
and high reflective power. The dia-
mond stays brilliant because it is
hard and limitations become scratch
ed and dulled by friction. For an
experienced eye. it is not difficult to
decide from the appearance of the
faces whether stone is genuine or
not for those of real diamonds are
seldom SO regular as those, of fine imi-
tations. With the latter the greatest
care is taken, in grinding, TO smooth
and polish not only the faces, but
also the whole form into such a shape
as to avoid differences in the reflec-
ton, refraction and scattering of the
rays.
In the grinding and polishing of real
brilliants, on the other hand, effort is
made to keep the original size as near
ly as possible, and some little irregu-
larities in the faces and angles are pre-
ferred to any diminution in weight. In
the limitations the superiority of cheap
material which,. may be wasted with
out making any difference enables a
perfect counterfeit to be made.
A necessary tool for testing is the
file, which is not able to injure or
scratch real diamond, while on an
imitation it quickly makes its mark.
Better than the file is fragment of
sapphire. because the sapphire is the
next hardest stone to the diamond.
Any stone that can be scratched with
a sapphire is surely no diamond. If
a snail drop of water is placed on
the upper face of brilliant and touch
ed with a pointed pencil, the. drop will
keep it's rounded form, while the stone
remains clean and dry. If the same
is done to a glass imitation, the drop
spreads out at once A diamond
plunged into water will be plainly Wis
ible and will glitter through The liquid,
while an imitation stone is almost
invisible
If a person looks through a dia-.
mond, as through a bit of glass, at
a black dot on sheet of white paper,
one single point will be seen clearly
If several points appear, or blur is
seen, it is an imitation.
The white sapphire, the white topaz.
and rock crystal are commonly sold as
diamonds, but more often limitations
are made of glass. To recognize these
glass limitations. treatment with acids
is. also recommended, which remove
the polish on the faces. while it does
nat affect the diamond, ruby, sapphire
made of glass yields to the hardness
test, SO that chemical test is super
fiuous. *

The seeding OF alfalfa in rows to
make cultivation possible is being
advised for parts Of western Kansas

at Hays. He has interested nine
men in this method of planting, and
has secured some good, upland al
falfa. seed. One hundred and fifty
acres. will be planted. Some of the
seed will be sown broadcast, but most
Of it will be planted in rows. Even
if the alfalfa does not give high for
age yields, as con pared with yields
of lands adapted to growing alfalfa
by the usual methods, the forage will
be very acceptable to balance the
ration with rough feeds easily pro-
duced in this territory. Mr.. Boys
thinks that the crop will be valuable.

LUNG DISEASE OF
HORSES INCURABLE
Treatment for Broken Wind Can
Only Be PaIIiative-Avoid
Dusty or Burnt hay.
INV w. r. GILBERT.)

Broken wind is the old-fashioned
name given to the chronic lung COM
plaint. associated with difficult breath

of expiration is performed by double
effort, inspiration being little, IL at

We have only to look at a horses

other words to cough him, in order to
see il he is broken winded or not
The cough is characteristic, spas

yances. becoming single, short and
suppressed. The trouble is incurable
and the treatment therefore can only
be palliative.
The difficulty in breathing increases
when the stomach and bowels are con-
gested with food and water. Both are
to be given only in small quantities at
time. Green food and cut grass
should be fed at intervals.
The food should always be damp
ened with water. Dusty. or burnt hay
are to be avoided as are also chopped
straw and over-ripe rye grass.
1t is a good plan to mix a quarter
of a pint Of linseed meal oil with each
feed. AS regards medicinal agents,
their action on broken wind can only
be temporary.
Every dealer has his specific for
this disease. Some give the animal a
pound OF lard, or any sort of good fat
made into balls. while others give a
quantity Of leaden shot. A subcutan-
eous injection of morphia many re-
sort to.
These things do no permanent good
and the palliative treatment, if care
fully carried out, is of great bene-
fit to the poor animal and may be
looked upon as the only treatment for
a broken-winded horse.

PROFIT I'M RAISING
HIGH GRADE SEEr~
An Ever-IncreaSing Demand for
Sweet Corn, Garden Peas and
Beans of Good Quality.

A letter sent from the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture, division of publ
cations will be of considerable inter
est to those who follow in any degree
the raising of high grade seed.
Concerning sweet corn, garden peas
and beans it states here is much
profit In the raising of high grade
seed
Seed crops of sweet corn, garden
peas and beans of good quality are in
ever-increasing demaI.d and the guam
tity needed yearly Las become so
large that the seedman is obliged to
have the major portion of his stock
grown for him by others.
within the past few years there
has been an enormous increase in the
quantity of seeds produced for COM
mercial purposes.
This has been due, in a large
measure, to the development of seed
growing ard its handling as a bust.
ness in the United States.
Zone of the largest of these BUSH
nesses uses buildings with an aggre-
cato floor space of more than 16 acres.
This space is much larger than was
occupied by the entire seed trade of
the country only SO years ago.
"The quality also has vastly inn
proved. One OF the most encouraging
developments in the growing of gar
den vegetables is the increasing recog-
milton of the practical Importance Of
using pure and uniform stocks of
seed whose varietal characteristics
adapt them to distinct local conditions
and market requirements.
Another consideration is the fact
that the growing of seed crops of
these vegetables can be undertaken
without any radical change in farm
practice or material increase in farm
equipment.
These conditions make the indus
mers who are located where soil and
climatic conditions are favorable for
the best development of such seeds.
However, the raising of these veg
etables for seed crops is not recon-
mended for all circumstances, even
when soil and climate are suitable.
"The farmer who contemplates I'M
dertaking seed crop farming will DC
well to consider thoroughly the many
elements which enter into profits.
"Seedmen are often able to place
contracts for growing seed at very low
prices-even lower than that at which
grain of the species can be sold on
the market.
Such condition might be due to
any Of several causes, but usually
rests on an over-supply or demand
for an inferior product.
The general tendency now, however,
is decidedly in the other direction, and
both seed dealers and seed growers
can do much by cooperation TO furth-
er this tendency.
Dealers should not buy by sample,
no matter how good the sample may
be, but should endeavor to limit his
supply to seed which he knows was
grown from pure and true stock seed
and, as far as possible, to that which
was subject, while growing to his own
inspection.
knowledge, experience and care on
the part Of the grower will also con-
tribute much to higher standard. and
consequently to higher prices and bet
ter market conditions generally.

MUSHROOMS IN QUARRIES

In France, mushrooms arc cultivated
in subterranean quarries at a depth
OF 60 to 200 feet from. the earth's sur.
face. These Quarries have been found
extremely profitable in this connec.
ton, owing partly to their equable
temperature and their freedom from
draughts, provision being made, how
ever, for their proper ventilation. The
beds are formed of manure, covered
with about an inch of fine. white.
stony soil, in which the spawn or
mycelium is introduced at a depth of
few inches. and in rows eight to
ten inches apart. The length of the
beds is variable. and in general they
are approximately 20 to % inches
wide and of the same height.
