with Steam or Hot Water, but there is
only one proper wa} 7 to cure a burn or
scaid and that is by using
Mexican
Mustang Liniment.
It gives immediate relief. Get a piece of soft old
linen cloth, saturate it with this liniment and bind
loosely upon the wound. You can have no adequate

A SALE OF WARTS.
One- Juvenile Transaction Thct
Seemed to Confirm si Tlieory.
“Tliis tlieory,” said the traveling
man, “that warts will go away when
you stop thinking about them may have
something in it, and 1 am inclined to
have faith in it. I know from actual
observation that warts can be transfer
red and will give yon the case in point.
“I was buying a newspaper when I
noticed that the hands of the newsboy
were covered with warts. His stand
was within a block of my bouse, but I
am away so much i lie little fellow’ did
not know me by name. I said to him:
“ ’You should get some one to charm
away those warts,’ that being the meth
od of getting rid of them when 1 was a
hoy.
“ ‘They ain’t mine now,’ he said. ‘I
sold them last week to Teddie Stearns,
and they’ll all go to him.’
“Now, Teddie Stearns is my own bov,
and I did not like to think of his
smooth, chubby hands being disfigured
with warts, and we did not live in a
wart atmosphere. They belong more
exclusively to the barefoot boy with
cheek of tan conditions. I had been
such myself. When I went home, I
called my boy to me and looked with
some anxiety at bis bands. They were
as clean and white as a girl’s.
“ ’What is it, papa?’ he asked curi
ously.
“ ‘I am looking for warts.’
“ ‘Oh,’ and he drew a long, delighted
breath, ‘there ain’t any yet, but they’re
sure to come, for 1 bought them from
“CciTotty Mike” for a pin. He says
I’m sure to get ’em. Ain’t you glad?’
“Glad! I could have cried, and I be
lieve his mother did cry. But that
blamed little cub said he wouldn’t be a
tenderfoot, and he would have warts.
I read the riot act to him and went
away for a month’s trip, and when I
came back lie was as proud as Punch.
His hands bad grown a crop of warts
that discounted anything I ever saw in
that line. I hunted up ‘Carrotty Mike,’
and, would you believe it, there wasn’t
a wart on his hands! He had trans
ferred them all to my boy.”—Chicago

Swedish Titles.
One of the old customs is for people
to indicate their business upon their
visiting cards. You will receive the
card of Lawyer Jones or Banker Smith
or Notary Johnson or Music Professor
Brown or Grosserer (which means
wholesale merchant) Furgesou cr Geol
ogist Thompson, and if a man ever
held an office it is customary to indi
cate that fact upon his card. A burgo
master is always a burgomaster, a eou-
sul is always a consul and an alderman
always an alderman. The prefixes
“Hon.” and “Mr.” are seldom used, and
the title, whether commercial cr pro
fessional, is observed in conversation
in the same way. It would sound rath
er queer for any one in the United
States to ask, “Wholesale Merchant
MacVeagh, will you kindly pass the
butter?” or “Banker Hutchinson, will
you escort Frau Board of Trade Oper
ator Jones to the table?” or “Director
of Music Ziegfeld, I wish you good
day?” but that is the custom in Swe
den, and it is observed by children as
well as grown people. A lisping child
will approach a guest, make a pretty
little bob courtesy and say, “Good
morning, Chief Justice of Supreme
Court Smith,” or “Good night, Repre
sentative In Congress Brown.”
It is customary also for ladies to
print their maiden names upon their
visiting cards in smaller type under
their married names, particularly if
they have a pride of family and want
people to know their ancestry.—Chica

WritlEjaf a Bool;.
The following confession of a novel
ist as to the method in which he wrote
one of his books is not without inter
est. He had had the story outlined in
his notebook for a long time and ought
to have been able to write it, but did
not feel able. Then one day be hap
pened to think of it again and saw, al
most as if it had been a stage scene,
the little tableau with which the book
was to close—one of those ends which
are also a beginning. So he began to
work and iu a short time bad complet
ed the first three chapters. Then, for
no reason that he can give, there was a
jump, and he wrote the chapters which
are now numbered XXI and XXII, the
last in the book. Then he went back
and wrote straight on from IV to XVII.
The story had been with him so long
that it was the easiest thing in the
world to write it. and so he got through
this part of the work with remarkable
celerity. In the eighteenth chapter
nothing happens. Every day for a
fortnight he rose, breakfasted and tried
to write that chapter; every night he
tore up a big pile of manuscript which
he knew to be hopelessly bad. Then
he got -desperate. The chapter should
be written aud should stand, whether
good or bad. He wrote it and left the
house because it was bad and he had
resolved not to tear it up. Next day
he wrote chapter XIX, and on the mor
row he rewrote chapter XVIII and
somehow or other contrived to get into
it all that he had failed to get before.
Then he .wrote chapter XX, and the
book was completed.—London Post.

ABOUT PLOWING. ■
; theory eikS Praet-o? Illustrated end
Described.
Much has been written from time to
time as to why ground shoul'.! be plow
ed and bow plowing should bo done to
secure best results. Many sketches
have been made showing the relative
size, angle and lan of the average plow
furrow, but these sketches seldom give
a correct picture of the actual furrows
FIG. I. —THEOItET I CAL PLOWING.
as made by the average plow, says a
Rural New Yorker writer iu preface to
the following:
Fig. 1 is a copy I have made of a
sketch of the cross section cf some
plow furrows illustrated in a recent
issue of an agricultural paper.
This was intended to show how some
plows turned a furrow at too steep an
angle. In reality no plow turns such
a steep furrow in actual use. It is im
possible to turn such furrows in ordi
nary plowing, and the sketch is sim
ply a monstrosity or freak of the imag
ination of the writer or artist. Stiff
June grass sod can be turned up to al
most stand on edge, as the figure indi
cates, provided the plow is adjusted to
cut a narrow, deep furrow. But the
sketch shows a shallow, wide furrow,
and no farmer ever owned a plow that
could “perform” that way, and no such
plowing was ever “performed.”
I have made Fig. 2 to show how such
plowing as shown in Fig. 1 would
“work out” if any plowman attempted
the feat. Granted that the first five
FIG. II.—SUCH FLOWING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
furrows actually stand as shown in Fig.
1, the next furrow, A, of the same rela
tive width and depth, is turned up and
over by the plow, adjusted to cut and
turn furrows of similar size. Where
would it lie or stand? The dotted line
indicates its position in cross section,
and no plow’ or moldboard adjustment
of any plow could possibly carry the
sixth furrow, A, far enough to the
right to stand it on edge beside the
fifth furrow. The w’riter of the article
is wrong iu making a sketch showing
such a relative impossibility and stat
ing that much plowing is to be seen as
Indicated in Fig. 1.
How does the average plow' turn or
leave a furrow? I went into our corn
field a few weeks ago, when our man
was plowing clover and timothy sod
for. corn. The plow used was and is a
general favorite throughout the coun
try. It was set to plow a furrow eight
inches deep and fourteen inches wide.
I took a spade and carefully cut out a
vertical section of three furrows and
took a photograph, as shown herewith.
The picture shows just how a cross sec
tion of the average furrow looks. In
FIG. III.—PICTURE OF ACTUAL PLOWING,
reality there is but a slight “lap,” the
furrow lying uot quite fiat. The fur
rows shown in this picture are of the
model variety.
The plow is a standard make for this
section cf country, with the proper
w’idth, height and curvature of mold-
board.
The furrows illustrated are similar to
those turned by a great many thousand
farmers who read this paper. We use a
jointer to turn under grass, manure
and the upper iueh and a half of surr
face soil, which leaves a perfectly
clean furrow, as no trash can stick out.
The moldboard in lifting and turning
manipulates or agitates every cubic
inch of the furrow, as the picture
shows.
The whole process loosens and aer
ates the furrows and leaves them in
fine condition for further operation
thereon by means of tbe harrow and
roller. Tbe ideal soil for manipulation
with these tools is a clay loam with a
slight admixture of sand.
A Great Enemy of V.is Florida Orange
Grower end How to Meet It.
; The white 2y is limited, economically,
to the citrus plantings of Florida and
the gulf region. I. is widely distribut
ed iu greenhouses and has undoubtedly
been earned to California on many oc
casions, but has never assumed any
importance on the I’acine coast.
Recent press reports, however, in
dicate that the white fiy has been
found in various citrus districts about
Los Angeles. If this be true, this in-
j sect in favorably seasons may prove in
the future a serious pest in southern
California, but in the main it will prob
ably not be able to withstand the dry
climate.
The damage occasioned by it is due
perhaps only secondarily to the sap
ping of the vital juices of the plant,
which, however, must be considerable,
ciuee it multiplies enormously and
often covers the under surface, espe
cially of the leaves, so that the insects
fairly overlap. The main injury, how
ever, is due to the secretion by this in
sect, in the larval and pupal stages, of
a honeydew similar to that secreted by
the true scale insects. This secretion
is iu enormous amount, and the sooty
mold which develops in it frequently
covers the entire upper surface of the
leaves and produces very serious ef
fects ou the vitality of the plant.
The fruit does not ripen properly and
is deficient in quality and size and
keeps poorly, involving in addition the
expense of washing before it can be
marketed. In Florida the sooty mold
is produced almost altogether by this
Insect, although following to a certain
extent the attacks of some species of
scale insects, as already noted, the dam
age being quite as great in Florida
Irorn the white Gy as in California*
from the black scale.
Tiie adults begin to appear by the
middie of March and continue to
emerge into April. The eggs deposited
by this brood require about three weeks
for development, hatching into larvae
from the middle cf April to the first of
May. The adults of the second brood
begin to emerge by the middle of June
and continue to appear until the mid
dle of July. Between the middle cf
July and the middle of September a
third brood is developed, the larva? of
which, hatching about the last cf Octo
ber, carry the insect through the win
ter.
The most satisfactory remedies for
this insect, as demonstrated by the ex
periments of Messrs. Swingle and Web
ber, are the kerosene and resin washes.
The treatments may best be made dur
ing the winter, between December aud
March, and again, if necessary, in May
and also in August or early in Septem
ber. Two or three applications may be
made in the winter. The application
in August is made if the sooty mold is
found to be spreading to the fruit.
Since the insect lives on the under
sides of the ieaves almost exclusively,
it is of prime importance to see that the
under surface is thoroughly wetted
with the spray, and to he at all effec
tive it is necessary that the tree be
opened up by pruning. Fumigation
with hydrocyanic acid gas is also
ready means of destroying this insect.

Items About Sugar Beets.
The sugar beet diseases thus far
noted in Ohio are root blight or rooi
rot, heart or dry rot, scab, crown gali
and bacteriosis, attacking the roots,
and leaf spot, attacking tbe leaves.
For scab and bacteriosis it is sug
gested to avoid infected lands. The
same may apply with respect to crown
gall.
For leaf spot it is recommended to

lel Velne of a Few of tlie
Feeding StnAa.
The choice between different feeding
stuffs should often be influenced by
their effect upon the manurial value of
tire excrement. Below are given a few
data hj’ way of illustration:
MANORIAL INGREDIENTS IN ONE TON.
Phosphoric
Nitrogen, acid. Potash.
Lha. Lbs. Lbs.
Cottonseed meal 125.3 57.G 17.4
Gluten meal 100.6 C.6 1.0
Wheat bran 53.4 57.S £2.2
Dried brewers’ grains 72.4 20.6 1.S
Indian ccrnmeal 2'!.4 I2.G 8.0
Linseed meal (new process). 115.6 .36.0 27.8
It will he noticed that gluten meal,
though rich in nitrogen, is unlike lin
seed and cottonseed meal, it being very
deficient in phosphoric acid and potash.
Dried brewers’ grains, though resem
bling bran in digestible protein and
nonnitrogenous matter, are relatively
poor in potash aud phosphoric acid.
Cornmeal, corn fodder and corn sto
ver are all poor in ash.
Clover hay, cottonseed meal, bran
and linseed meal are excellent supple
ments to Indian corn products so far
as concerns both protein and asb. Asb
ingredients, as stated elsewhere, are
necessary in the animal economy, par
ticularly in the production of milk, so
that they may wisely be considered
from the standpoint of food and of
manure. A ton of cow’s milk contains
10.3 pounds of nitrogen, 3.8 pounds of
phosphoric acid, 3.G pouuda of potash.—

Early Cotton Gathering.
I would like to say that people lose a
great deal by allowing their cotton to
remain iu the field after it is open. It
will dry out ia a week one-fourth. It
should be gathered as soon as it is
open.—A Planter.
Brief Mention.
Florida expects a fine, large orange
crop.
The intestinal worm causing nodular
disease is a menace to the sheep in
dustry of Louisiana and perhaps of the
south.
The Louisiana station has Inoculated
scores of cattle imported from the
north by farmers against Texas fever,
and results have been highly satisfac
tory.
The department of agriculture is to
survey aud map the rice soils of Texas
aud Louisiana.
Poisoning of cattle by eating dam
aged sweet potatoes—probably due to
black tol—is reported.
The promise is for a fair rice crop.
