HOT WEATHER GARDEN WORK Pull1g Up Woods Whenever Found Wilt Save Considerable Labor Next Year-Care for Lilacs. (By EDEN E. REXFORD.) Weed, and weed and weed again. In brief, pull up every weed as soon as you see it. All the work of this kind done this season wi~l, save a great deal of labor next year, for every plant allowed to go to seed will most likely be perpetuated by a thousand seedlings. Make a practice of going over the garden beds and clipping away seed vessels. The plants will at once set about making good their loss and as flowers are the first step toward the formation of seed; they will soon pro duce a new crop of blossoms. In this way make almost constant bloomers of .kinds that won't bloom but once during the season if al lowed to follow out their own in clinations. Keep the ground about the lilac bushes mowed or hoed closely. If this is done the suckers about this plant of which so much complaint is made, will cause no more trouble than ordinary weeds. It is when they are allowed to grow for a sea son that the trouble begins. There fore, keep them down from the start and you will have nothing to com plain of. A place without the lilacs would be one that failed to live up to the privileges warranted. I con sider the lilac one of our very best shrubs. SURE TO DESTROY WEEDS Ingenious Implements Arranged to Allow Injection of Liquid Around Roots of Plants. A most ingenious implement for destroying weeds has been invented by a Washington man. A rod has a sharp metal point at one end and Sure Weed Destroyer. a reservoir extendling out from it i just above this poinlt, which is hol lowv and has ani opening at the bot tom. The reserv'oir has a discharge spout leading into the hollowv point and a rubber bulb, by means of pres sure on which the contents of the reservoir are discharged through the spout. This reservoir is filled with tobacco juice or some other liquid that wvill kill plant life. The garden er then inserts the point at the root of a weed and presses on the rub ber bulb with his foot. An injection is thus squirted on the roots of the weed, wvhich soon kills it. Compare this method with the laborious sys tem of pulling weeds up, one by .one, and tearing up the tumrf into the bar gain-to say nothing of the wear and .tear on the only back you'll ever have. STACKING HAY FROM WAGONS Trolley May Be Arranged to Do the Work in Fields Where There is Muoh Hay to Be Piled. The accompanying Illustration shows how to make a trolley stacker that will do service in the field wvhere there is much hay to be stacked. In constructing this a wire cable one half inch thick is required, says a writer in the Farm and Home. It may be made any length, according to the requirements of the farm. Trolley Hay Stacker. This cable is atta'hed to stakes in the ground and is run up through a crotch made by two long poles at either end of the stack. On this ca ble is run an ordinary hay fork. A, b and c show details of attaching the cablos to the poles5. Corn Fodder. The chemist teils us that 70 per c( ). of the feeding value of corn ftider is below the ear. If this be true, how much do you lose by feed ing the fodder whole when put in the silo the stalk is worth about as much as the ear, and the ear 'N's lost none of its valu3?. AlA DEVICE TO MEASURE FIELDS Simple Contrivance Shown In Ililus. tration Much Better Than Sur. voyor's Chain or Tapeline. The simple contrivance shown in the illustration for measuring fields is much better than a surveyor's chain or tapeltne, because it can be used by one person, says the Homestead. It is made of a small hub and spokes a little larger than lath. Make them of such size that one revolution meas ures exactly one rod. This is done by having each spo'ke thirty-two and B Hub and Spokes. one-half inches long. The hub (b) is made of two circular pieces of board one inch thick and six inches in diameter belted face to face to gether, and holding the spokes firmly in the grooves previously cut. There should be eight spaces between the points, as there are eight spokes, which at the end should be twenty four and three-fourths inches apart. The points of the spokes must not be sharp, or they will oink into soft ground and the distance will not be Device for Measuring Fields. accurate. Paint one spoke a different color from the rest, so that it may be easily counted every time it comes around. Push the wheel ahead like a wheelbarrow. Measure the fiel lengthwise, then crosswise, multiply length in rods by breadth and divide the result by 160, which will give the number of acres the field contaims. BALE YOUR HAY THIS YEAR Kept Compact, is Easjy to Handle and Takes Up Comparatively Little Room-Always Clean. Loose hay Is so bulky that it takes up flve or six times the barn space of baled hay. Loose hay quickly gathers dust-which causes cough ing of stock and perhaps disease The whole outside of a stack of loose hay is practically wasted by wind, rain, sun and the other elements, This often amounts to 20 per cent of the stack. Loose hay can not be shipped far, and the local dealer knows it. So he pays you his price. and you sell because you know that your loose hay must be sold near home. Baled hay is complact-easy to handle-takes up comparatively lit tle space, so can be stored until prices reach the top, when you can sell anywherc listance does not mat ter much. lBaad hay is always clean and fresh, loses none of its nutr-itivo qualities, and there is no waste. Gathering Onion Bulbs. Notice your onions, and when the tops cease growing andl begin to de cay, gather them. Dust air-slaked lime over them, tie the buiblets in bundles of one-half dozen and hang thenm up in a cool place in the barn or cellar. Remember that bees crawl up in stead of down. Extracted honey will candy much sooner than comb honey. The drains should be properly laid out andl carefully graded. You give the weeds a big advantage if you let them go to seed. Send your honey to the market in as attractive a form as possible. WVhen the crops begin to grow it's easy to find where the manure spreader quit. The breeder that is afraid of the real test of his breed will never do the breed much go'od. Some weeds have such tenacious roots that the only way to kill them is to pull them up. One of the chief causes for alfalfa failure is that the young plants are crowded out by weeds. Deep plowing is one of the most effective ways of keeping a good mois ture content in the soil. The automobile is wan important addition to the farm equipment, It is more than a luxury. Remember to keep the insurance policies in force now for one never knows where the lightning is going to strike. A teaspoonful of coal tar to a peck of corn, moistened with a little water, is said to be a protection against gophers. To be on the safe side cabbage plants should be started in soil which has not been previously used for cab. bage culture. We ds are growing fast this year Reme her that any season that makes the crops grow f6.at eteour naes tb weeds also. QUEER DISEASE IS IN UNITED STATES Many Here Affloted With Odd Ailment, Says Prof. Munyon. GREWSOME CREATURES VERY COMMON, FINDS EXPERT. Many people in the United States are afficted with a queer disease, according to a statement yesterday by Professor James M. Munyon. He made the follow ing remarkable and rather grewome statement: My dquersonswho come and write to my hadaershiat 53d and Jefferson St., Philadelphia, Pa., think they are suffering from a simple stomach trouble, when In reality they are the victims of an entirely different disease-that of tape worm. These tape worms are huge internal parasites, which locate in the upper bowel and consume a large per centage of the nutriment in undigested food. They sometimes grow to a length of forty to sixty feet. Ono may have a tape worm for years and never know the cause of his or her ilI health. "Persons who are suffering from one of these creatures become nervous, weak and Irritable, and tire at the least ex ertion. The tape worrns rob one of am bition and vitality and strength, but they are rarely fatal. "The victim of this disease is apt to believe that he is suffering from chronic stomach trouble and doctors for years without relief. Trhis is not the fault of the physicians he consults, for there is no absoluto diagnosis that will tell post tively that one is not a victim of tape worm. "The most common symptom of this trouble is an abnormal appetite. At times the person is ravenously hungry and cannot get enough to eat. At other times the very sight of food is loathsome. There is a gnawing, faint sensation at the pit of the stomach, and the victim has headnches, fits of dizziness and nau sea. He cannot sleep at night and often thinks he is suffering from nervous pros tration. "I have a treatment which has had wonderful success in eliminating these great creatures from the system. In the course of its regular action in aiding digestion, and ridding the blood, kidneys and liver of impurities It has proven fatal to these great worms. If one has a tape worm, this treatment will. In nine cases out of ten. stupefy and pass it away, but If not, the treatment will rebuild the run-down person, who is probably suffer ing from stomach trouble and a general anaemic condition. My doctors report marvelous success here with this treat nient. Fully a dozen persons have passed these worms, but they are naturally reti cent about discussing them, and of course we cannot violate their confidence by giv ing their names to the public." Letters addressed to Professor James M. Munyon, 53d and Jefferson Streets, Philadelpha, Pa., will receive as careful attention as though the patient called In person.

C% HE HAD THEM IN A CORNER Clergyman's Rebuke to Thoughtless Youths at Once Neat and Disconcerting. A well-known clergyman was one day, in a barber's shop, when four or five young men walked in whom he knew by their voices, but who did not recognize the man in the chair, with lather all over his face. They pro ceeded to spend the time by telling stories and using expressions which, to say the least, were rather strong. When the barber pulled away the towel the clergyman, cleanly shaved, stood before them. So nonplussed were they that no one tried to take the vacant chair, and the barber called several times-"Next gentleman! Next gentleman!" The clergyman smiled somewhat grimly as he said: "It isn't a bit of use, John. There's not a man here who has the effront ery to answer to that name." Family Enough. Horace, five year old, has a broth er, nine, and a sister three, and with his father and mother, he deemed this family large enough. When, there fore, he was told by his aunt that a little baby was to be added to the family, he protested "I think papa and mamma might bet ter spend their money for more straw berries and powdered sugar for me," he observed, indignantly. On a certain day a doctor came to the house and Horace thought he knew what that meant His spirit of revolt nearly got the better of him, however, when a second doctor came. A few hours later, after the doctors had departed, his Aunt Ella told him he had a new little brother. Horace brightened, and tiptoed to his moth er's room. "It's all right, mamma,," he assured her. "There's only one." To Be a Good Cook. "To be a good cook means the knowledge of all fruits, herbs, balms and spices; and of all that is healing and sweet in fields and groves, savory in meats; it means carefulness, in ventiveness, watchfulness, willingness and readiness of appliance; it means the economy of your great-grandmoth ers and the science of modern chem ists; it means much testing and no wasting; it means English thorough ness, French art and Arabian hospi tality; it means, in fine, that you are to be perfectly and always ladies (loaf-givers), and you are to see that everybody has something nice to eat."-luskin.
