arangemen were not made at the time the Icehouse was buSt and filled for the drainage of the water therefrom, this should be attended to before the warm weather sets In. Those who have tried It recommend hot soapsuds as an excellent means of ridding cabbage and cauliflower of the green worms which Infest them. A strong resin soap and soft water give good results. Ground tobacco placed where the shee can get what they want will rid and keep them free from attacks of stomach worms. This seems to be a case where the acquiring of the to bacco habit is really an aid to health. Rather oddly, while dairy cows seem to show an instinctive aversion to profane and rough language in their caretakers and will shrink in their milk If this becomes the rule, they do not mind whistling or a song In the least, but seem rather to enjoy it. Dampness, blight and rot funguses go hand in hand. On this account many irrigated sections of the semi arid west are almost entirely free from these pests, due to the bright, fine weather which prevails almost unin terruptedly during the growing season. -A donar a bushel is a good price for wheat, but the first prize bushel which was recently exhibited at the meeting of the Wisconsin Agr entural Expei ment association brought $W.

The spraying of previously untreat ed orchards can be counted upon to increase the yield of fruit from three to four times as well as to remark aWly improve its quality. What It will do for a sien orchard can esily be weked out on the above basis. The cost of spraying good sized bearing trees in materials, labor and machin ery should not exceed 2D cents amnal ly for three or four sprayings.

This does not mean that conditions have changed so tisat they are producing two cropS % year, but only that they got balle up in their husking opera tions last fall. Recent investigations Into the life habits of the mole show that his chief diet. when he can get It, consists of the large white grub and the larvae of the June bug, which do much dam age to lawns, iowers and strawberry plants. On this account alge the mole is entitled to man's protettion. The disk drill Is generally recog nized as the standard machine for sowing small grain. Not on.ly does It mean economy in the use of seed, but It puts the grain at an even depth; covers all of it and thus insures a uni form germination and even stand. which means uniformity of growth and ripening. The end gate seeder is a relic of a bygone era and should be relegated to the scrap pile. As a result of the heavy freeze of last December it is estimated that 10. 000 cars of oranges were damaged In southern California. This is about one-third of the annual output and will constitute a very heavy loss to the growers. Where the fruit was not enlirely ruined its quality was so in jured that it not only will not pay for the expense of marketing. but tends to seriously demoralize the prices for good stuff. As a general rule, sires of merit of either dairy or beef types are high pdced. But rather than buy a low priced sire of little or no merit a bet ter plan is for two or three neighbors who are breeding the same type and strain of cattle to unite In the joint purchase of a really good herd animal. When he has been used as long a time as Is feasible arrangements could be maee to exchange him for another sire equally good, but not related. In sections where clover and alfalfa are the chief forage crops many horses are lost annually as a result of the feeding of a ration too rich in protein, and the loss is especially heavy during the winter months, when the anianls ax taking the least exercise. A par tial means of obviating this trouble lies In substituting for a good share of the leguminous ration cean, bright strw and timothy or wild hay where available and allowing the horses to have daily exercise The agricultural department at Wash Ington. after maRing tests with them. recommends yantlas, taros and dash eens for culture In portions of the south where the land is too wet except for the cultivation of rie. These plants compise salad plants, tubers which are excellent for table use and as stock feed and roots which are val uable sources of starch and from which alcohol can be made. They have been the staple food of native Hawailans and an Important food crop in Japan, China and a number'of other countries._ Nothing is thought of paying from $1 to $1.50 for enough oats or other snall grain to plant an acre, yet many a fellow wili balk at paying more than $2 a bushel for seed corn. This seems a bit lnennaistant, for at the unusual pice of $14~ a figure which prevails in some sections of the corn belt this eson, the cost of seed for each acre would be but $1.Z on the ssenmption that a bushel will ueedrelght acres. In dtermining hew much a fellow can afford to pay for his seed corn this sprngItlswell for one to keep these igures in mind. As a reult of extensive expediments which he has made Protfeeh Bolley of the North Dakota experiment station presents the view that flax does not do eil after flax, not because of an ehaution of the fertiling elements, of the soil, but as a result of the de eopment In the soil of root rots and other blight producing funguses, which attack the plants and greatly reduce thdr vital!ty. He holds that the same Coatin apply to spring wheat and some other sinan ran His remedy fr this situation Is the planting of the seed of blight resistant varieties of flax and jrain, the formalin treat ment of seed and a roation of crops, which will prevent the several fun gses from getting a foothold In the so. It is generally considered that 343 ubic fleet of wild hay wil1 make a ta 400 cubic feet of timothy and 512 cubic fleet of clover or alfalfa, the bar being settled in each case not less than a couple of months. One who has measured much hay in the stack has found a convenient method of e-asuing to be the following: Take oe-third of the over-distance' from the ground on one side of the stack to the ground on the other-for the square of the stnak This would give the number of cubic feet in each run nng foot of the stack. For example, if the over were thirty feet, one-third of this would be ten feet, which. squared, would give 100 cubIe feet as the contents per rnnning foot. If the stack were thirty 'eet long It would contain 3,000 cubie feet, from whieh igure the number of tons could be easily ascertained by dividing by the umber of cubIc feet per ton for the different kinds of hay. A Wandering L.ake. Lake Nor, In the Tabi- desert, in southwestern Asia, which has been sale the "wandering lake," presents a phenomenon about which contra dictory views have been entertained. Perhaps the Swedish explorer Sven Hedin has given the most plausible explanation touching this phenome non. It appears, accorirf. to that explor er, that the Tarimi rf rer, entering the lake from the west, brings down dur ing the period of high water late In summer a great quantity of salt, which has the effect of driving the lake lying on the level floor of the desert toward the southeat. But the sum mer wind, drifting the surface sand and darkening the heavens with dust, blows generally from the northeast, and it, too, tends to drive the lake be fore It. The combined effect of the urging by the wind and the river is to force the lake southward. Yet It is thought the migration of the lake is not constant in direction, but It shifts back and forth Intermittently, -aodin as te rcnmsaam es change. Figure It Out For Yoursef. If you want a hard case there is the case of a man who late at night bought a bott!e of whisky at a public house-price. 3s. Gd.-says the London Globe. He handed over a fire pound note, and the publican would not change It. "All right," said the cus tomer. "Gtre me the whisky and 10s. Gd. and ktcp my five pound note." Next morning the customer came in, planked down four sovereigns and said, "Give me back my fire pound inote and we shall be straight." The publican and the sinner looked at each other. Can Z-ou tell at a glance which got the better of the bargain when the customer went away with his five pound note In his pocket? The question puzzled a whole office full of literary, financial, sporting, philosophical and editorial men-until It reached a girl of eighteen who Is en gaged in dealing with cash. All the rest were calculating on paper and reaching the result by devious ways. The cash girl saw it in a flash of the eye. Do you? Shut your eyes and do it in five seconds if you wish to beat the cash girL Wonderful Victoria Falls. "It Is weli nigh impossible to de scribe a scene of such wonder, such wildness," says Lady Sarah Wilson in her "South African Memories" of the Victoria falls. But she gives this graphic description: "Standing on a point flush with the river before it Imakes Its headlong leap, we gazed first on the swirling water losing it ,self In snowy spray which beat re lentlessly on face and clothes while the great volume was noisily disap pearing to unknown and terrifying depths. The sightseer tries to look across, to strain his eyelknd to see beyond that white mist which ob scures everything, but It is an impos sible task, and he can but guess the width of the fails, slightly horseshoe In shape. from the green trees which em so far away on the opposite bank and are only caught sight of now, and then as the wind causes the spray to lift. At the same tube his attention is fixed by a new wonder the much talked of rainbow. Never varying. never changing, that perfect shaped arc Is surely more -typical of eternity there than anywhere else." Curran and Lord Cla. Curran, the Irish advocate, was on terms of intense enmity with Lord Clare, the Irish lord chancellor, with whom, when a member of the bar, he fought a duel and whose hostility to him on the bench, he always said, caused him losses in his profession al income which he could not esd mate at less than ?30,000. The inci dents attendant on this disagreement were at times ludicrous In the extreme. One day when it was known that Cur ran was to make an elaborate state met In chancery Lord Clare brought a arge Newfoundland dog to the bench with him and during the prog ress of the most material part of the case began In full court to fondle the anima. Curran stopped at once. "Go on, go on, Mr. Curran!" said LArd Clare. "Oh, I beg a thousand pardons, my lord! I rea&ly took It for granted that your lordship was engaged in con sultation!" Two Smart Actors. In a popular historic drama the ac tor who takes the part of Napoleon Is required to read aloud a document of cnsierale length which is brought to him by General Berthier. This, being written at length, Is seldom com mitted to memory. A short time ago, however, the property master at an nglish theater minlad the document, and Napoleon, who was new to the part, received instead a blank sheet of paper. For a moment he was aghast; then, eager to escape from his pre dicament even at the expense of a fellow actor, he handed the paper to General erthier, saying, "Read It to me." The other actor was not In the least confused. "Your maajesty," he said, handing it back, "I am only a poor solier of fortune, and you must ex cse me. I do not know how to read!" His Emancipation.

Par ents can be assured, it is said, that rn pampering will fall to the lot of theft sons, however exalted may be thell rank or great their possessions. At English paper tells the story of an Indian official of high rank calling upon the house master in a famous public school, where a young prince, son of a rajah, was being educated. This official brought a special message from his master, the rajah, to the ef feet that he wanted no favors or ex ceptional treatment of any sort ex tended to his son on account of his ex alted birth. "You may set tie mind of the rajab at rest on that score," said the house master, struggling to keep back hi smile before the dignified anxiety Of the Indian official. -If the authorities were Inclined to dLscr;..;inate In the prince's favor. the b.-,:.of the school would set the matter right.

Two men-Wilians Jones and John Smith-were neighbors and deadly en emles. They often crossed swords in court and out of It. and Jones, being what might be called more clever than Smith. invariably got the better of the encounter. In the end so cowed was Smith that the slightest more on the part of Jones made him nervous and suspicious. ar.d with the remark. -1 wonder what object he has In thi'T he called up all his reserve faculties to combat the fresh attack which poor Jones never contemplated.

Smith paused, drew a hard breath, raised his hand to his forehead and thought, then blurted out: "Dead, did you say-Jones dead? Great heavens?

A South African AnimaL There is a curious looking animal in South Africa that looks for all the world, like a piece of toast with four legs, a head and a tall.

It certainly hadn't struck one old farmer in this way before, and as soon as he got home he promptly told his wife that the vicar had called her a heroine. "Whatever does that mean?" asked the good lady. "Oh. if means a woman who stays in t* house instead of goin' art to show hersen." explained the farmer vaguely.
