HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUR
FAVORITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-JuSt Smell Il

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
flavoring Ito improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of flavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious Of all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in a great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco. -
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

Bees as Engineers.

A French professor, named BONNER,
tells a tale of the intelligence of the
busy bee. On the Paris-Lyons rail
way, near the biological laboratory at
Fontainebleu, he says, some coarse
granuated sugar had been spilled in
a heap beside the track. Bees came
and tried to carry off the sugar, but
the grains were too big for a bee to
carry. Did they give up? Not these
bees. They flew to the neighboring
watering trough, loaded themselves
with all the water they could carry,
flew back to the sugar pile, and threw
the water on the sugar. Soon the top
of the pile was converted into strip,
in which the bees busily rolled them
selves until each and all were coated
with sirup, when they flew away to
their hives. There they got rid Of
their cargo and returned for more,
and. whenever they got down to the
coarse granulatiOns, they resorted
again to the water trough. Countless
bees engaged In the operation, and
kept at II till no sugar was left

over also results in backache.
The tool here shown makes it posi-
BILE to avoid all this trouble and pain.
1t 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 q 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
pull the canes out without touching
them with the hands.-H. L. Spooner

New methods of combating the plum
curculio, which has been raising havoc
with the southern peach crop, are &C.
cupying the attention Of the bureau
of entomology, United States Depart

which attacks not only the young
fruit shortly after it has set but also
fruit as 1t is nearly ripe on the trees,
lays its eggs under the skin, the re-
sultipg grubs eating their way into
the heart of the fruit. The life Of
an individual adult curculio may be
nearly one year, and the beetles thus
continue feeding on the leaves Of the
peach until Information late In the fall
and two or three months after the
fruit has been harvested.

Her mother, accustomed though she

KILL FIELD MICE BY POISON
SuIphate of Stryehnine With Sugar
Strip and Anise 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..
Washburn 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 All equal quantity
of any sugar strip and little oil Of
anise to make ii still more attractive.
This quantity Of poison is sufficient to
treat one-half bushel Of wheat or corn
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
well as the spring as means of de-
stroying the mice. 1t will not af-
ford permanent exemption from at
tacks 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
sible on some warm day in winter.

wisely left her to have her cry out

And Mrs. Shirley was bound to ad-
nit to herself that of the two Jimmy
was the more desirable. She went into
the living room, thinking harder than
ever. Jimmy was to sail for Europe
to inspect the foreign offices of the
firm for which he worked. He had
told Elizabeth that his work might

DESERVE TO BE REMEMBERED
Names OF Those Who Compiled the
First Dictionaries in Their Various
Languages Immortal.

Credit for having compiled the first
dictionary belongs to a Chinese. His
name was Pa-Out-she and he lived
about 100 b. G. 1t contained more
than 10000 characters, and while Pa
OUTSIDE is said to have had earlier
manuscripts at his disposal, he was
the one who arranged the valuable ma
terial in such manner that he was
revered by millions of his countrymen
as the creator of the worlds first die
tionary.
The Roman, VarrO, who died 2S B.
c., wrote the first Latin dictionary,
ard julius Pollux, in 1T "A. d.,
gave the world the first collection of
vocabularies in Greek.
The most distinguished achieve
ment succeeding Pollux was the first
polyglot dictionary, painstakingly writ
ten by Ambrose Calepini, Venetian
friar
Samuel Johnson's English diction-
airy, while surely not the first in that
language, may fairly be accepted as
the one to make the initial claim to
completeness, in 1866.
In 1882 Schwann published the first
German-French dictionary, and the
Frenchman Lempriere's dictionary
was the first to bring the vocabulary
knowledge Of the ancients within ap-
parent easy reach of English and
American students.

winter Is a cheap and convenient meth
cd of growing cash crop and a soil
improving crop In the same year. The
reputation Of crimson clover as a crop
increaser Is largely based on this
simple rotation. Instances are by no
means rare where the yield of corn has
been gradually increased from ten
bushels to as high as seventy bushels
to the acre by this means.
Seeding Crop Of Glover.
Crimson clover may be seeded in
practically any of the cultivated truck
crops, which receive their last cultiva-
, ton frem eight to twelve weeks before
the first frost. 1t is not wise to seed
clover in late potatoes, sweet potatoes
or other root crops, as the digging In
the fall practically destroys the clover.
Neither does it do well when sown into
cowpeas, sorghum or watermelons, ow-
ing to the heavy shade cast by those
crops. The most common cause of
failure to obtain a stand of crimson
clover is period Of hot, dry weather
occurring after planting.
The roots of crimson clover are in
Oculated by the same strain of bacteria
which occurs on the roots Of all true
clovers; consequently field which
has produced good stand of red,
mammoth, alsike, white, hop, Carolina,
rabbits foot or buffalo clover is usu-
ally sufficiently inoculated for crimson
clover. Methods of incubation, seed
ing, the choice Of seed and the treat
ment of the stand are fully described

There are many Orchardists today
who believe that the growing of al

the best ways of introducing needed

1t is much to be preferred to the clean
cultivation that was so long favored
by leading orchardists and that Is

Many Scratches.

After the fruiting season, all the old
raspberry canes should be cut and
burned. Unless the grower Is provid-

scratches must be endured from the
spines. Some growers use pruning
shears, but In this method, the hands
