Using Old Tin Cans.

We used to have some thrifty for
elgn neighbors who always used their
tin cans several times over, says the
Syracuse POst-Standard. In opening
a No. 3 tomato or other can, place the
can bottom upward and lay a big,
very hot coal on the central circle or
cap. In minute remove the coal,
when the tin cap is easily lifted. Re-
move the contents of the can immedi-
ately, wash, dry thoroughly and store
in dry place, saving the little circu-
lar tin centers for use again. When
It is wished to use the cap again In
preserving tomatoes, berries or other
foods, proceed as with new tin can.
II one is at all handy with the solder
ing iron the can is resOldered with no
trouble at all. Never put tomato or
acid fruits in any but tomato or berry
cans, as such have been specially
treated to withstand the action of the
acids, Corn, peas, beans, etc, can be
put in used tin cans in which such
vegetables came, If they were opened
properly. Try your hand first at open
ing and resolderlng any old hn can.
The work is very easily done.

HAS HIS GARDEN IN BARREL
Los Angeles Man, With Small Back
yard, coneeives Idea for a Unique
Strawberry Patch.

A Los Angeles man whose backyard
was too small for growing strawber-
ries, conceived a clever idea, which is
described in Popular Mechanics.
He made a strawberry patch out Of
a barrel. Holes about ~ inches apart
were bored in rows in its sides. Sew
eral tin cans with perforated bottoms
were piled one on the other in the CEN
ter of the barrel and enough dirt was
thrown about them to fill the recepta-
Gle up to the first row of holes.
After the dirt had settled sufficient
Iy strawberry vines were planted In
the holes and allowed to hang outside.
This process was repeated until the
barrel was full and vines had been set
in all the holes and on the top.
As the soil was added, cans were
piled up through the center to provide
an irrigation passageway. A hole was
bored in the side near the bottom to
allow water to drain off.

HORSE NOT YET ABANDONED
No Tractor Has Yet Proved Itself
Equal to Animals In Handling Of
Light Batteries In Action.

According TO a statement by the
war department, the forecast frequent
~ ventured, that horses are to be dis
plnced by tractors IN our light field ar
tillery is not yet justified Expert
ments now being made with motor
lied batteries are apparently proving
successful only with heavier types.
The motorized light battery would
be Ideal. Of course says the Providence
Journal. Good horses are scarce, their
upkeep Is costly, they can be worked
only n limited number Of hours on a
stretch, their care requires the serv-
ices Of soldiers who could be valuably
employed otherwise, and the animal
casualties in war appeal to human
sympathy as well as occasioning
heavy burden Of expense.
For the horse OF the mule in the
transport service the motor is readily
substituted. But It appears that no
machine has yet proved Itself equal
to animal power for bringing a light
battery into action, or Saving the
guns" under conditions that often
exist In parade over a highway the
motor would serve, but for pulling
power in mud. for dash over a rough
field, a plunge to the selected firing po-
sition, or quick Numbering for action,
which may be a maneuver Of seconds,
no tractor yet invented approaches the
mobility of the trained battery horse.
And mobility is the life of the light
battery.

War Reduces Insanity.

War as a palliative Of insanity Is a
theory Unfamiliar to most people, but
we have no reason to doubt the conclu-
sions of Doctor Oswald of the Glasgow
Lunatic asylum on the matter, says the
London Globe. One phase of the sub
feet is instructive and significant. This
is 'the removal of the powerful effect
of poverty on the mind and its replace
ment by the higher standards of living
and remunerative employment" Pow
erty and unemployment are thus by
medical testimony more fertile causes
of insanity than war, That is a lesson
to be borne In mind when the war Is
over. ,1>zsrEsy 80 sslIzN.a<siHi .3ssA-

many of them persist in Ignoring the

ROAD TO SUCCESS
Clean, Healthy Wheat Seed is
Essential.

washington, August Z+-oOunus
clean, healthy seed is the first requi-
site for the largely increased wheat
crop which the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture hopes to see
harvested next year Whatever may
be the source Of supply, farmers will
find ii to their advantage, says the
department, to see that only good
seed is planted. What has been said
is equally true Of seed for the rye
crop, which the department also
hopes to see much larger than usual
next year.
ia farmer has seed from his own
crop which is satisfactory so far as
variety and general condition are
concerned, he should lose no-time in
getting it into shape for storage until
planting time. The tanning mill is
the farmers best friend in this task.
The farmer, by all means, should
have such a mill, and If he has not
and is unable to obtain one, should
borrow or rent his neighbours mill,
or several farmers can join in buying
one. A tanning mill removes weed
seeds, smut and shriveied grain and
leaves only plump kernels, practically
every one Of which may be depended
upon to produce thrifty plant. After
tits cleaned, however, the seed should
be treated in order that smut may be
prevented. ,Scab is less likely to
be prevented by seed treatment, but
the use of the tanning mill will assist
materially in improving the crop
grown from seed known to have
contained scabby kernels.
If the farmer is dependent on out
side surfaces for his seed he should
buy from his more fortunate neigh
Dor if possible, so that he may be
more likely to get seed well adapted
to his land conditions. 1t isadyisaole
TO buy as soon after harvest as posi-
bic, as at this time prices are likely to
be lowest. II the farmer delays, his
neighbors may dispose of all their
surplus grain and he may be forc' d
to plant seed grown under conditions
radically different from his own. II
the farmer patronizes. scotsman he
should insist on getting seed grown
as near his own section a.. BOSS" e.
