Don't put away steel tools wet;

Cut your clover while it is in the

Wood ashes or lime should not

After all it is the producing powe
of the farm that determines the bo>
in his going or staying. Show h m
that there's money in it, and he wil
stick to the old farm like a sand
bur to a sheep’s tail.

t)n some soils it does not pay to
plow too deep. Eor instance, take
it where the plow-point strikes hard
pan; no use to pull the horses to
death and tire ourselves all out to
bring that to the surface. It is not
'worth while after we have done it.
Here is the most approved method
of treating sweet potatoes to pre
vent a scabby crop: Soak the whole
seed for two hours in a mixture of
one-half pint of formalin (often
called formaldehyde) and fifteen
.gallons of cold water; dry the seed,
cut, and plant in ground that h. s
not recently grown potatoes.
Must the horse go? is the anxious
query of the Illinois Farmer. To
be sure lie must go, and the faster
the better. Who wants a horse that
does not go? In these automobile
speed days the faster the horse can
go the better we like him, and sodn
nobody will be satisfied with less
than a two-mim.te clip.
Probably not one farmer in a
thousand ever took his mowing
machine guards out and ground
them on the cutting edge. Look
at them and see how dull they are.
Some day before haying, when you
have a little time, just take them
all out and sharpen them. You
have no idea how much better they
will work. The maehtne will cut
almost like anew one.
Tarring corn: In coating seed
corn with coal tar as a protection
against crows and blackbirds, put
the grain into a pail and pour on
enough warm water to cover it.
Add a teaspoonful of tar to a peck,
and stir well. Throw the corn out
on a sieve or in a basket to drain,
and then stir in a.few handfuls of
land plaster (gypsum). Do not
pour the tar on the dry seed.
Sometimes folks get a good many
irons in the fire at the same time in
spite of themselves. Jobs come
thick and fast some days. The
best way to do, then, is to keep
calm and go straight ahead—doing
all the little things that lie in one
part of the farm when you are in
that locality, and then go on to
something else. Finish what you
iave on hand. Time brings all out
right to the man who works this
way.—May Farm Journal.

riachine to |Sell Papers.
A newspaper vending machine
which will not only deliver a paper
when the proper coin or number of
coins are placed in a slot, but will
make change for the customer, is
soon to be put into use. Parts for
the machinery of the device by
which it delivers the paper and the
correct change are being made by
the die casting department of the
factory of the 11. 11. Franklin Man
ufacturing Company, of Syracuse,
maker of Franklin automobiles,
i Such die cast parts, many of which
j are used in the manufacture of au-
I tomobiles, are cast so accurately as
to lie ready for use without being
1 machined.
The mechanism of which the die
1 castings are a part is said to be the
only automatic device which will
make change. It can be regulated
to deliver a one, two, three or four
cent paper. If a five cent piece is
inserted in the slot the machine will
deliver the paper and the change.
More than this, the slot automat
ically blocks the entrance of a
nickel, but remains open wide
enough for cents when the number
of cents within is insufficient to
make change. When all the pa
pers are sold a sign automatically
appears to inform the customer of
the fact. ,
All of the machinery necessary
for the operation, together with the
space for the newspapers, is within
a hox about six inches thick and
fourteen inches long and high.—

A Startling Comparison.

‘■James.” said the hostess to the but
ler. "save all the cherry stones, please.
Wash and dry them and put them ou
a shelf in the attic.”
“Why.” a guest inquired, “do you
save cherry stones?”
“You never saw them burn,” said the
hostess, "or you wouldn’t ask that
question. All winter long 1 keep a cop
per jar of them on the drawing room
hearth. As the tire burns up I stoop
and throw a handful of the cherry
stones in the blaze. The effect is won
derful. The stones crackle and keud
forth delicate green flames, and puffs
of exquisite odor, an odor as sweet as
cherry blossoms, float through the
room.”
"There’s sandalwood." began another
guest.
“Oh.” said the hostess. “1 use san

An Embarrassing Question.
Mrs. Monroe was carefully explain
ing to her small daughter Margaret
what she must do that evening. Com
pany would be there for dinner, and
Margaret was going to be allowed t lie
privilege of sitting at the table. Site
listened very attentively and faithfully
promised to obey. During the tirst
part of the meal she never spoke, but
remained quiet and thoughtful, but it
seemed a long time to her before the
dessert came. Finally a large dish
was placed near her of which the con
tents looked most appetizing. For
some time she gazed at it, find when
no longer able to resist the temptation
she reached over and put her dainty
finger deep into the jelly and cream,
then licked her huger and continued
to smack her lips with great satisfac
tion. Before the mortified mother could
say anything Margaret remarked:
“Say, mamma, is this the jelly which
the cat licked the cream off of and you
said it didn't matter, there was more
cream?”—Los Angeles Times.
Origin of Heraldry.
According to the highest authorities,
heraldry finds its starting point in the
rotemisin of prehistoric man. In the
barbaric custom of painting or carv
ing the totem on oars, the bows and
sides of canoes, weapons, pillars in
front of houses, etc., and in tattooing
it on the various parts of the body,
we have the real origin of the insignia
that are so precious to the upper
tendotn of today It was in the ig
norant superstition of the savages that
be sprang from a crane or a bear or
some other animal that the various
“coats of arms" of the "big families”
of the present rime found their incep
tion.—New York American.
