It is surprising how the shoving of the dog tax up from $1 to $3 per annum will alter people's ideas of the intrinsic value of members of the ca nine tribe. Hundreds of small towns need to have this test applied. The young asparagus bed set last fall or this spring should not be cropped this season, as all of the energy the plants can muster should be allowed to go toward the development of sturdy root systems. This will give a largely increased output of the vege table another season. When one finds himself under tie necessity of borrowing tools or ma chinery fairness would seem to justify the payment of a nominal sum to the owner for the accommodation. This would but coter wear and tear and a anll interest return on the money Invested in such equipment. If perchance samples of pills or other dope should be left at the back door it wouldm be well to put the stuff in the garbage can cr fire before the young sters about the house get hold of it. Most of this peddled trash contains deadly poison, which will not only make a child sick. but kill it if In an overdose. More than one housewife saves her self a world of bard work by having the men of the house put off their muddy boots and shoes before going Into the kitchen or dining room. This takes a little time, but the reasonable ness of it will be appreciated by any fair minded man who will get down on his prayer bones and scrub the floor two or three times. Recent feeding experiments conducted by the Massachusetts experiment sta tion at Amherst in the matter of feed ing alfalfa meal and bran have demon strated that there Is no disadvantage in feeding the former unless It can be got at the same or a less price than bran. Analyses showed the bran to have a trile larger protein content, while it was eaten by the cows more readily *and resulted In manures of a considerably higher fertilizer value. If any of our readers have been be lated. as the writer has been, in the setting of fruit or shade trees, the fault may be remedied in part by a judicious watering, care being taken to see that the ground Is mellowed shortly after the watering is done so as to prevent the formation of a crust about the tree, while the application of a shovelful of well rotted manure through which the rain or water arti cIally applied can soak Is an excel lent aid In enabng the tree to make up for the lost time. A majority of the soothing sirops at present on the market and frequently used by tired mothers to quiet crying babies contain considerable quantities of morphine or cocaine, both of them deadly poisons, and many of the so called cures for several drug habits contain the very drugs a craving for which these cures are supposed to re leve the drug victim of. Farmers' buletin No. 393, put out a short time ago by the department of agriculture at Washington. goes very thoroughly Into the subject of these death deal ing nostrums. There should be one In every home. Nature seems to have provided ex ceptional means for reducing the babv hood-the helpless period-of the birds to a minimum, thereby decreasing the likelihood of their destruction by their several natural enemies. This safe guard lies chiefly In the enormous eat lg capacity of the newly hatched birds, three or four nestlings keeping both parent birds busy from daylight until dark stuffing their uplifted and gaping mouths. This large consump tion of food results In a like prodigious and rapid growth and development., the young birds testing their wings in ight from the nest but a few short weeks after hatching. Beyond treating dIrt roads at right time and keeping them " . crowned so as to shed rainfall quickly there is probably no factor that will tend better to keep them in good con diion than t~e use of broad tired wagons in place of the narrow tired ones which have been in so general use in the past. There is always a period when a road has been worked Into shape, but has not been packed down hard, when a narrow tired wagon heavily loaded will undo much of the work. The same thing is true during rainy seasons, when the road, however weft graded, becomes soft. Whatever the season, the broad tired wagon has a decided advantage over the narrow in keeping the roads in good condition. The Satsuma orange, introduced into the United States from Japan twenty ive years ago and thither from China 300 years prior, gives promise of being a valuable addition to the citrus fruits ommercially valuable. It Is unilque In that It Is the only citrus species which Is deciduous, casting all Its leaves In the autumn, as do cur com mon fbrest trees. It Is both the ear liest and hardiest variety of orange grown, Its fruit ripening early in Oc tober. It Is seedless, like the navel, and fine flavosed. A further intest ilg fact concerning it, recently brought to light, is that It is absolutely worth less as a fruit bearer unless budded or grafted on trifoliate stock. This Is a fact that the setters of new orange groves would do well to keep in mind. Rosesi seem& to appreciate an evening bath. on hot days as well as do men and ianlmant In addition to supply ing the bushes with needed moisture. theipplyng of the shower bath under good pressure will keep the leaves and flowers free from most of the slugs. red spiders. and aphides which attack. them.

While these trees make trouble for the plower and reaper, they add much to the beauty of the landscape for the passerby. In buying a team with which one is not acquainted it is well not only to have from the owner a guarantee that they are sound. but that they will pull even and are not balky. Many a horse sound as a dollar in its legs and shoulders Isn't worth a continental because of a seeming derangement of its brain cells, and this latter defect is often not apparent until the former owner has made good clearance of his bargain. - The reason for deep early cultivation of the cornfield and shallow cultiva tion later lies in the fact that from the time the plants reach a height of a foot and a half they rapidly develop a root system which spreads out as well as down, comprising numerous fine roots which lie near the surface. The aim of the later cultivations should be to keep the surface of the soil mellow to prevent baking and a stoppage of circulation of air and moisture. Now and then you come across a fel low who is always dtekering and swap ping-sometimes horses, sometimes ve hicles and now and then machinery and other stuff. We have seen prem ises belonging to fellows of this stripe which were literally covered with trash of cne kind and another, a good per cent of it being junk picked up at near by auction sales. We have heard of chaps who swapped wives and kids, too, and the latter were doubtless glad of the change. The nettle, while not a noxious weed In the same sense as quack grass or the Canada thistle, Is hard to kill out because It multiplies by root stalk growth as well as by seed. The best wy to dispose f a amall patch is to dig up. carefully to a good depth, col lect all the loose roots, let them dry in the sun and burn them. In the course of a couple of weeks the patch should be dug ever a second time. when any roots left In the ground will have be gua to grow. These should likewise be removed and burned. The pulling up of a dead stalk of corn in the fall gires but a faint idea of the extent of the plant's root sys tem- Careful Investigations show that nstesd of the roots being eight or ten inches long, as one might readly sup pose from superac ica Tnmination the! run from five to lgit feet In, th'e aver age hill of corn. A knowledge of this fat should not only be helpful to the corn grower, but also to the orchardist who may use corn as a between row crop among little trees. The corn draws largely on the moisture of the soil and if planted too close to the trees will consume that which they should have for their best develop muent. Bo0th the quality and Qnantity of the fruit from the average home garden strawberry bed could be greatly im proved were the number of plants al lowed to set for bearing reduced by half er more. This would give the plants remaining more room, more light, more fertility to draw on and would thus greatly increase their thriftiness and bearing capacity. Some of the best yields of strawberries on record have been made by beds in which the plants were set closely In the original bed, but allowed to send out no tunners whatever, being cuiti ated according to the hill system. as It is usually known- It is too late now to help beds that are ready to bear, but the bed set this spring for fruiting next year can be so handled as to pre vent this crowding and stunting of the pants, while beds that are bearing their first crop this season can be so thinned after the bed is renovated as to bring about the right conditions for next season. If the row system is to be followed Iu the new bed no more new plants should be allowed to take root than will comfortably fill the row. each plant being allowed a space of seven or eight inches square. has had one frightful drawback malaria Itrouble that has brought suff'eringr and Ideath to thousands.

Gotze suggested that these were Intended not for implements, but for money. Bronze ax heads have akso been discovered in ancient remins, mingled with metal pieces in the form of rings, In such a manner as to sug gest that all alike were intended to serve as money, and the conclusion is drawn that in ancient times the metal a head ha~d come to be a pcpular unit of value for purposes of barter. After it had disappeared as actual money the memory of it. according to this theory, was preserved in the coins of Tenedos. which bore the tigure of an ax head. It has been suggested that the "wedge of gold" which Achan stole from the spoils of Jericho and for the stealing of whbch Joshua had him stoned to death was a specimen of the ancient ax head money.--Har per's Weekly.

The art of the ancients would cer tainly seem to show that their concep tion of death was a much more cheer ful one than that which has obtainec in later times.
