CURE FOR DENTIST FRIGHT

says Annie Payson Call. the we'll

Destroying Microbes.

The odor of cloves has been known
to destroy microbes in thirty-five min
utes; cinnamon will kill some species
in twelve minutes, thyme in thirty-five
minutes. In forty-five minutes COM
mon wild verbena is found effective,
while the odor Of some geranium
flowers has destroyed various forms Of
microbes in fifty minutes. The es-
sence of cinnamon is said to destroy
the typhoid fever microbe in twelve
minutes, and Is recorded as the most
effective of all odors as an antiseptic.
1t is now believed that flowers which
are found in Egyptian mummies were
placed there more for their antiseptic
properties than for merely ornamental

Sousa used to tell an amusing story
of a German trombone player whom
the composer-conductor knew in the
early days when he was leading the
United States Marine band in Wash
ington. The old trombone player was
named Backenblasser-a fact he could
not help-and on one occasion Sousa
saw him standing outside the theater
where he had been playing for sew
eral weeks. Backenblasser was
swearing very unmusically for a man
who knew all about harmony, and he
shook his fist at the theater and even
administered one or two kicks to the
unresisting brick wall. whats the

A trap nest is laying nest so ar
ranged that after hen enters 1t she
is confined until released by the at
tendant. The trap nest shown in the
accompanying illustration is used with
good results on the government poul-
try farm and is quite similar to the
nest used at the Connecticut state ex-
pertinent station. 1t is very simple
in construction and may be built at a
small cost.
The use of trap nests Is essential in
breeding poultry for both egg produc-
ton and exhibition, where pedigree
records are used in selecting either
the males or females, and has a place
in mass selection for increasing the
egg production. Trap nests are Of
value in wedding out poor layers and
increasing the average egg yield Of a
flock by selecting the breeding, but are
not extensively used on account of
the large amount of labor required to
operate them. Some poultry breeders
trap-nest their pullets during their
first six months of laying and use this
as basis in selecting their breeders
for egg production.
One trap nest should be provided for
four to five hens kept in flocks of so or
more. while more trap nests per hen
are necessary in smaller fiocks. The
hens are banded with numbered bands.
and a record is kept of their egg pro-
duction. The nests should be visited
at least three times daily, and prefer
ably four or five times. frequent trips
being especially necessary when the
hens are laying freely and during hot
weather.
This trap nest may be attached to

with the front facing the pen and ar
ranged SO that it can be easily re-
moved, or it may be placed on the
walls of the pen. II the nest is placed
under the dropping board, the latter
will serve as top for the nest, and
the rear of the nest may be of wire
to allow good ventilation in warm

from the front of the nest to the wall
at a sharp angle to prevent the hens
from roosting on the nest.

COST OF FARM IMPLEMENTS
Machines Make Money When In Use
and Are Expensive When Idle
Other Striking Facts.

Many facts which will be interest.
ing to farmers were determined by
the federal department of agriculture
In a recent study of farm machinery
costs. Among the more striking facts
are the following:
Machines make money for you
when they are in use; they cost you
money when they stand idle.
"A machine makes the greatest
possible profit for its owner when
1t Is used continuously in profitable
work till 1t is worn out. Then It ia
really worn QUIT does not rot or
rust out.
The average farm implement IL
only about half worn out by use
alone. The rest of the wear is due
to rust and decay.
Acres count in the life Of a machine
not years."
1t was found that the cost per acre
covered is the real measure of the
value Of the service given by an i'm
plement and that. on the average. the
more acres covered per year, the more

FAIRIES IN CHILD'S ROOM

It is certain, of course. that II any

Laura Spencer Porter writes in the

something merely amusing. Yet, how

CRUELTY TO HORSE OR MULE
Cause OF Sore Shoulders IL Badly
Made, Cheap Collars or Collars
That Do Not Fit.

No greater cruelty can be inflicted
on horse or mule than to work him
with a sore shoulder. The cause of
sore shoulder is badly made, cheap
collars or collars that do not fit.
II a mules efficiency is lowered
even 10 per cent for a month, because
of a sore shoulder. that alone will nav
the difference between a poor and a

better feeling it will give any humane
man to see his mules shoulders in
good condition.
Sweat pads are only useful to patch
up bad collar. They may make a
poor collar better. but they certainly
do not help good collar.

done.

should be set so that it's edge just holds
the door, which position is regulated
by the screw or nail at the lower in
side edge of the catch. A washer should
be placed on the screw (d) between
the catch and the side Of the nest to
prevent this catch from sticking. The
guard (b) around the catch keeps the
nesting material away from the catch.
The length of the catch which sup
ports the door and the triangular notch
in the door may be varied slightly for
very small or very large hens.
Cut four seven-eighths-inch boards
for ends and partitions, IL inches wide

boards 1914 inches long. laid length

each partition to hold the door when
the nest is closed.
If the nests are to be placed directly

BEES HAVE HEATING METHOD
Work Of Intelligent Insects Keeps
Temperature Of Hives Comfort
able In Winter Weather.

The bee upholds his reputation for
industry throughout the winter months
as well as during the summer. Being
susceptible to cold, the bee must turn
to his colony for warmth. Commu-
nism, which in bees is 30 highly devel-
oped in the storing Of food and caring
for the young, is also the basis for the
heating system. It was found by ex-
pertinent that only the shell is COM
pact. This is formed by one to sew
eral layers of bees all solidly arranged
with their heads inward, their hairs
interlacing. This arrangement is per-
feet for conservation of the heat with
in. Except for an occasional shifting
Of position the bees forming the shell
are quiet. But within the shell strange
things are going on.
1t is here that the heat is gener-
ated. And the antics are not unlike
our own when we are cold. The bees
are packed loosely within the shell so
that there is plenty of space for many
bees to be exercising at a time. Rap
i'd tanning Of the wings, shaking the
body from side to side, rapid breath
ing, and other movements are all part
of the scheme for raising the tempera-
ture. In one particular instance, when
a bee had been rapidly tanning with
his wings for seven and a half min
utes, the thermometer nearest him
rose half a degree Fahrenheit.

Bad Cooking and Divorce.

Love and q well-flled stomach go
well together, but hatred and treach-
cry are born in an UNDERGONE steak,
the Farm and Fireside remarks. Bad
cooking is directly responsible for a
large percentage Of the divorce evil
and much of the crime committed-in
fact, it might well be classed as q
crime in itself.
Bank examining is all well enough
for It's purpose, but the examination Of
cooks and kitchens is far more impor-
tant. OF what avail are our pure-food
laws If all food may be ruined in the
kitchen?
A good cook is the greatest states
man in the country in the true sense
of the term.
No one should be permitted to cook
in any public eating house who has not
been examined, found competent and
licensed; and bad cooking-such as
now exists in many public places
should be a misdemeanor punishable
by law.

- ATTARO, the last city in Dali
malta, is a quaint medieval
walled town. Formerly it was
the southerumost of all Aus
tr1a's Adriatic possessions, which ex-
tend almost $50 miles down the east
ern shore from Grade. just above
Trieste, to the ancient fortress and
modern naval base on the Bocche di
Cattaro, famous alike for it's wonder
full harbors and wild beauty. unriv-
aled even by the finest Of the fjords
of Norway.
The city of Cattaro Is situated on
the innermost of the chain of five lit
tie lakes or bays Of the Bocche. and
on three sides 1t is inclosed with an
ampitheater of rock, formed by the
mountains which almost encircle it.
1t is a very ancient stronghold and
even in the days of Constantine-Por-
phyrogenetus the city was described
by him as being "the city where the
sun never shines except in midsum-
mer." 1t is actually true that the old
town covering at the very feet of the
great mountains which soar into the
sky just behind 1t is as somber and
shut in as an alpine village in a mar
row mountain pass, but although
shaded from the sun by the soaring
rocks 1t is insufferably hot in summer.
The city walls are enormously nigh
and thick and keep out any stray
hn 10
streets Of the town are so crooked and
narrow that they remind one Of the
dark little CALI of Venice, with here
and there a small paved campo or
court. surrounded by low stone dwell
ings with tiny Sits for windows, which
add to the somberness and gloom of
the breathless city, which for CEN
turtles has been the scene of such per-
petual conflicts that the dwellings are
miniature forts, the tiny windows be-
ing apertures through which to shoot
rather than openings to admit light

Gate to Montenegro.
The little strip of alluvial land on
the rains of centuries having washed
the soil from the gaunt sides of the
bleak mountains of rock towering
above it. The Montenegro legend
states that at the creation, st. Peter
was flying with a great bag of rocks.
The bag broke and the rocks falling
made Montenegro. 1t is to the credit
Of King Nicholas warriors that no 9TH
er land as desolate, rocky and hope
lessly sterile has ever been so re-

sons, who. in its defense, have watered
its crags with their blood.
Cattaro has been long known as the

of the sides of the rocks the Monte
