COAL HoD ON WHEELS is NEW.
EST EFFICIENCY STUNT
Saves Labor the Same as the Peram.
bulator for the Tea Things and
for Soiled Dishes

One man defines efficiency as or
derliness; another as the shortest cut
to a given result with the least ia
ugue. My friend, Mr. New House
keeper, thinks it is both, and has
deponstrated this by putting his coal
hod on castors.
With a castered hod, you may avoid
the fatigue Of lifting when you sweep,
since a gentle push with the broom
will remove it from your path. Then.
too. you do not have to carry it across
the kitchen, for shove with the foot
is enough to send it merrily on its
way.
This new example Of kitchen eff
cheney can be made by screwing a
board to the bottom of the hod and
attaching to it universal or ball-bear-
ing casters. If you are new house
keeper, try it, and see what a source
of pleasure this specimen Of your
housekeeping skill will be to your

start and rapid growth for several
years, but finally lapsed and the char
ter was suspended. Recently an eff
fort was made to revive it, and the
Grand EncampmeGt restored the old
charter, and even the old rituals. The
local Encampment had several hun
dred dollars worth of paraphanalia,
which had been preserved. and starts
off almost like it had merely been on
a vacation, but with far brighter pros
poets. The class of now members on

UNIQUE METHOD OF DESTROY.
ING STUMPS
by Proper Preparation They Can b,
Burned-The Process

The removal of stumps without the
use Of dynamite is laborious matter
The following method, however, is
said to be effective in destroying
stumps without digging or pulling
them.
Bore l or Il inch hole into the
top Of the stump to a depth of 1S
inches. Put into this hole about 2
OF. of saltpeter, fill the hole with
water, and plug tightly. The best
time to do this is in the autumn. In
spring, remove the plug, fill the hole
with kerosene and ignite, using a
small piece Of cloth as wick to start
the fire. II the work is properly per
formed the stump should burn slowly
and completely withiut further at
tention.-B. o. Longyear, Colorado

LAWNS NEED ATTENTION AT
THIS TINE OF YEAR
During March When Ground is Free
From Snow, Seed Should Be SoWn
on Bare Spots

With the opening of spring many
people find their lawns in poor condi-
tion due to winter killing and the
heaving caused by freezing and thaw-
ing throughout the winter months.
The trouble may easily be remedied if
taken in time. In this part of the
country it is necessary that any work
done on the lawn should be done very
early in order to have the best re-
suits, otherwise, the seed is likely to
fail to germinate.
During March, the ground, when
free from snow, will contain a consid-
cradle amount of moisture, and at this
time the lawn should be thoroughly
raked to remove all the dead grass and
refuse from it. The grass seed may
then be sOwn over the bare spaces or
as many people prefer, spread little
over the whole area. The seed should
then be rolled in.
Doing this work early is essential,
as it insures moisture. Any light
SHOWS that we have from March on
will in no way injure the seed.
A good lawn mixture may be pur-
chased, or the seed may be purchased
separately and mixed. A good mix
ture is one part white clover to three
parts Of Kentucky bluegrass. J.

BIG IMPORTANCE OF
SILO TO ANY FARMER
Economy in Feeding viii Be in
Great Demand This Year
SiIage Solves Problem.

The Importance of the silo this year
will be understood when we consider
that under ordinary conditions the
silo will save about 40 per cent of
corn crop used as silage. When we
remember the value of feed and the
corresponding value of cattle and
sheep we will realize the saving by
putting corn in the silo.
Every farmer that has cows, sheep,
goats, beef cattle and other animals
will need silage. And now is the time
to prepare for the silo.
OF the silage crops corn is the best
where corn is the surest and best
crop. But where sorghum, milo katir
or feterita are the surest and best
they will be the crops to plant. In
other words, the crop that will pro-
duce the greatest tonnage of the best
silage will be the best crop for the
sllo. And any of the crops mentioned
will make good silage if cut at the
right stage of ripeness and properly
packed in the silo will make fine feed
Economy in feeding will be in great
demand this year. To provide this an
abundance OF silage Will be needed
With silage it will be an easy matter
to winter cattle and sheep and little
silage for the work teams will be
beneficial to them,

Love OF LIBERTY
Trait Was Early Manifested in
Career of Thomas Moore.
Great Poet Spent Youth in Trinity Col
lege, Where Flame of Irish
Patriotism Was AoIow.

The story of Thomas Moore's boy
hood Is as generally known as his
after life. His bright symptoms Of
genius, his love of music and poetry,
his love of domestic pleasures in the
| genial circles of his home, and the
grandest and purest feature of his
whole character, his love of liberty,
the liberty of his native land.
He loved his land with love far brought
From out the stored past, but used
Within the present and trausfused
| Through future time by power of thought.
In his fourteenth year he entered
Trinity college, Dublin, the atmosphere
of which was all aglow Mt the period
with the flame of Irish patriotism,
which was rapidly spreading among
the students. Robert Emmett was light
ing up the whole college with the fire
of Irish liberty.
The crisis which caused the expul-
sion of Emmett and Others from the col
lege Moore bravely faced and proudly
came through the crucible of tyranny,
writes Charles O'Farrel in the Irish
World. When he was taken before the
college tribunal for examination he
manfully refused to incrimnate any of
his fellow students. In the course of
his examination he made Lord Glare
the following spirited reply:
Il have no fear. my lord that any
thing | might say would incrimlnnte
myself, but Ii may tend to involve 9th
ers, and | despise the character of the
man who could be led under any cir
cumstances, to inform against his as
sociates."
He resumed his studies in the col
lege, and at twenty years old obtained
his degree of B. A. Shortly after this
he proceeded to London to enter for
the bar. But fortunately for the lovers
of fine poetry and song, fortunately for
the sublime music of Ireland, which
he has made immortal, he did not be-
come a lawyer. Soon after he arrived
in London he published some of his
youthful illusions, and they were so
successful, in spite of adverse critl-
cism, that he gave up the law forever
and entered in triumph the field of
song. So rapidly did he publish series
after series of the finest gems of po-
etry that he very soon became famous.
The rich mine of Irish music. or Irish
valor and bravery, and of all the grand
phases of Irish character were COW
cred up for long ages by the dark pail
of Saxon tyranny, till Tom Moore
tuned the Irish harp, tore off the
shroud and raised up with his sublime
melodies the proud glory of Ireland to
the "eyeS of all time"
Well and truly does he say:
Dear Harp of my country. in darkness I
found thee
The cold chain OF silence had hung Ger
thee long
When. proudly. my own Island Harp, I
unbound thee
And gave all thy chords to light free
dom and song!
II the pulse OF the patriot soldier or lover
Have throbbed at our lay, tits thy glory
alone:
I was but as the wind. passing heedlessy
over,
And all the wild sweetness walked was
thy own.

ment of Agriculture)
Since the corn-root aphiS which at
lacks the roots of corn throughout the
! states east of the Rocky mountains, is
assisted in its destructive work by Il
| brown ant, measures of control must
take into account both the insects
The presence of the aphis frequently
is not suspected because it passes al
most its entire life underground It is
a small, stout, soft-bodied, whitish in
sect and may be seen in infested fields
by pulling up an unhealthy corn plant
and closely examining the roots and
surrounding soil. The small brown ant
which works in conjunction with this
pest cares for the eggs of the aphis
over winter and in the spring, when
the eggs hatch, the young aphids are
carried out and placed in contact with
the roots of certain wild plants, such
as smartweed. If corn is planted in
such infested places, the ants transfer
the aphids to the roots of the corn
plants. The aphids sap the corn of
its nourishment and often cause heavy
loss to the crop.
Measures Of Destruction.
Timely cultivation and repellents
are the best measures to destroy or
drive away these enemies. 1t is too
late to apply the MISUNDERSTANDING
remedy, but plans well may be made
for taking fall measures which will
place the pest at disadvantage next
year. Early fall blowing, followed by
frequent deep disking in fields dam
aged by root aphids, is good prac-
tce from the standpoint of community
control and also has its advantages
to the individual farmer because the
blowing disturbs the ant colonies, kills
many of the aphids, and destroys the
weeds upon which they live. The disk
ing also prevents the recolonization
of ants and prevents the growth or
weeds, thus reducing the number of
aphid eggs.
Use of Repelents.
IF 1t Is impossible to practice cult
walton measures, repellents may be
used to advantage at planting time

SPRAYS TO CONTROL

two black spots on the fore wings
flying about the garden in close proxi-
nifty to the cabbage plants. The eggs
deposited by these insects hatch into
the worms that eat the large holes in
the cabbage leaves. The house wives
have seen these snail-like pupae when
removing the outer leaves from the
cabbage.
BY little effort on our part, these
worms can be held in check by using
arsenical sprays. Powdered arsenate
of lead one-half pound to 20 gallons
of water, with a little soap added to
make the spray stick better, sprayed
on the leaves of the cabbage will do
the work. One teaspoonful of paris
green to one pint Of -four, sprinkled
over the plants when the worms ap-
pear, is also good.
AS there are two or three genera

1t may be necessary to spray several

tions upon the use Of winter rye and
vetch in this connection are given by
them.
"After the grain is harvested pillow
and thoroughly prepare the seedbed
then SOW rye and vetch at the rate
of two bushels of the former and
20 to 80 pounds of the latter TO the
acre. Both the rye and yetch are quick
to sprOut and will come up before the
quack grass gets a chance to recover.
Winter vetch makes an abundant fall
growth and covers the ground like
carpet. In the spring both the rye
and vetch will resume growth at a
rapid rate, until at corn planting time
these crops will be from two to three
feet high. Thereupon the rye and
vetch can be turned under for green
manure or cut for hay, and the land
planted to a cultivated crop at once,
with slight chances of quack grass
making an appearance.
Like clover and alfalfa, vetch is
legume and as such is valuable as
soil improver by means of the nitro
gen it takes from the air and restores
to the soil through its roots. Hence
the vetch-rye treatment for quack
grass can be recommended as doubly
useful"
