1nally laid out. this was kept In view,
eo that there are no rights and iefts to
various threaded parts. and the least
possible number of different sizes of
holes, or bolts. or other parts are used.
The chassis design lends itself to mass
production also, because OF the very
design of the parts, the assembly cost
also being low because this was taken
into consideration In the original de-

with the spiny canes, a most unpleas'
ant experience. The constant bending
over also results in backache.
. The tool here shown makes It posi-
bic to avoid all this trouble and pain.
It is made as follows: Get the black
smith to bend an old file to the shape
shown. The inner edge is ground to
a cutting edge. Two or three holes
are drilled through the shank. In the
end of a round stick four feet long,
cut an opening to receive the shank OF
the knife, and bolt the knife firmly to
the stick.
In using this tool, the user can stand
upright out of reach of the canes
Most of the canes will be tangled up
with others. After cutting, the crook
ed hook-shaped knife enables one to
quill the canes out without touching
them with the hands.-H. L. Spdonel

KILL FIELD MICE BY POISON
SuIphate Of strychnine With Sugar
Slrup and Anse Oil Added Is
Attractive Bait.

Poisoned grain, which can be pur.
chased already prepared or which can
be made by the farmer or orchardist,
can be used to advantage, says +. L..
Washhurn of the Minnesota College Of
Agriculture, in controlling field mice.
One ounce of sulphate of strychnine
should be dissolved in one quart OF
boiling water. Add an equal quantity
OF any sugar strip and little oil Of
anlse to make II still more attractive.
This quantity Of poison is sufficient to
treat one-half bushel of wheat or corn
which should be soaked in the liquid
for about "a hours and distributed in
localities where mice abound.
The poison can be kept from ami
mails and birds by placing it under
pieces Of board or in tiles or old tin
cans. 1t should be used in the fall as
we'll rs the spring as a means of de-.
stroying the mice. 1t will not af.
ford permanent exemption from at.
lacks of the pests, for mice from near.
by localities may later work in the
treated area, but it will aid materially
In keeping them under control.
An application Of thick whiteWash,
Mr.. Washburn says, is very effective
against mice in nurseries. BluestOne
solution should be added until the
Whitewash IS quite blue, the mixture
being applied literally with a brush,
late in the fall, close to the ground and
up the trunks for some distance. The
treatment should be repeated If pos.

Study Of Park Shrubs Helpful.


It is a good plan to have some Of
the large shrubs In the corner OF the
lawn, and smaller ones in between
should be In an irregular line, with a
tall specimen here and there near the
front, so the top line will not be too
straight. BY visiting parks a study
can be made Of the growing habits OF
the various shrubs. This will be found
helpful in deciding what plants will
be best suited for certain locations
You will avoid such mistakes as plant
Ing shrubs too close together and plant
Ing the wide spreading varieties too
near the walk. Close planting may be
practiced, but 1t is usually necessary
to take up every other one within a
few years. If plants are set near the
walk It is often necessary to keep trim
ming them back every year.
