DETAILS
Th? difference between a peni
tentiary and a palace is largely a
matter of detail.
Both are designed for human hab
itation and serve equally well to
protect the inmates from the ele

But one is a vastly more comfort
able place of abode than the other.
SO IT IS WITH GLASSES
Crudely fitted glasses MAY help
your vision, but great care in every

safety and comfort.

DEAL WITH CUT-WORM PEST
Test Course ka to Plow In Fall and
Renew War In Spring-Poisoned
Bran May Bo Used.
Tte test course in dealing with cat
worms ls to plow early In the fall and
continue cultivation with a Bprlng
tootbed harrow until freezing time
prevents it and then renewing the
war on them by extra early spring
cultivation.
There is no easy method of dealing
with these pests, but they may be
killed if one ls willing to go after
Two Species of Cut-Worms, Also
Moth That Lays the Eggs.
them with determination. An effec
tive method of combating them is to
use sweet and poisoned bran, says
the Prairie Farmer. The method is
to add one part of Paris green, by
weight, to thirty or forty parts of
bran, stir this together, while yet dry,
and then mixing lt with water that
has been sweetened by the addition of
strong or coarse molasses. The old
er and stronger the molasses, to give
it color, the better it will be.
The bran should be moistened with j
this sweeter cd water until it is made
into a damp mass, just wet enough
to stay in little heaps. A very small
pinch of this placed at the ba6e of
each garden plant to protect it will
be effectual. The cut-worms will eat
it in preference to the plant.
Tonoprotect corn it is advisable to
drop a pinch In the corn row each
step or two across the field, so that
the worm will find this and eat lt and
let the corn remain. It would be bet
ter to put the poison out before the
corn appears above ground and thus
kill the worms early, than to let them
remain untreated until after the corn
is once cut off.
It is much better to put out the
poison bran in the evening while it is
damp, or on a damp day, so that it
will not be dry when these pests
come forth at night to seek their
food.- It will be found by them just
about as readily if it is slightly cov
ered with earth and for this reason,
if it should become necessary to pro
tect domestic fowls from it, one could
cover it with loose earth at the time
of application.
SUPPORTER FOR TREE LIMBS
Wire Contrivance Fastens Sagging
Branch to One Above-Illustra

A contrivance for supporting "nbs
of trees that are either broken or
sacing with their own weight or a
heavy burden of fruit has been de
isi,* r.ed by a California man. Two Iron
fc ri.s have slots at both ends and a
hole at one end. One of the kooks
is thrown over a sound upper limb,
near the crotch, and the other is ad
justed on the limb below that ro

PLUM TREES NEED SPRAYING
When San Jose Scale Is to Be Treat
ed Lime-Sulphur Will Be Given
lr. the Spring.
Plum trees need some spraying,
usually on about the same lines as
the work given to the apple orchard.
Spraying should be given annually,
usually two to four timps each year,
and in all cases must be thorough to
be worth while. Careless spraying is
a waste of time and material. When
the San Jose scale is to be treated,
the lime-sulphur spray will be given
early In the spring. A heavy spray
ing of Bordeaux mixture or of plain
blue vitriol solution before the buds
open will aid in checking brown rot
and other diseases. Another spraying
of Bordeaux mixture, with arsenical
poison added, should be given soon
after the blossoms fail. It should be
specially noted in this connection that
Bordeaux mixture should be only half
strength for plum trees. Some varie
ties, especially those of the Japanese
group, have the foliage seriously in
jured by strong Bordeaux. Perhaps
the best formula for this work is as
follows: Fresh unslaked lime, three
pounds; copper sulphate, two pounds;
water, fifty gallons.
The mixture is uen made up in the
usual way, an?' applied with a nozzle
throwing P. fine, misty spray.
GRAFTING OLD GRAPE VINES
Cleft-Graft a Little Above or at Leve/
of Ground, or Even Below,
Is Best Method.
Tn reply to a query as to whether
an old grape vine, trained as shown
in the iluBtration, can be successfully
grafted, F. E. Gladwin of the Geneva.
N. Y., experiment station, writes in
the Rural New yorker as follows:
"I should say from your diagram
that the vine in question is trained to
the horizontal arm spur system and
that you desire to graft the numerous
spurs along the arms. It ls very
doubtful that you can be- successful,
as there is too much opportunity for
the pans to dry out before a union
takes place. I should much pr??er tc
cleft-graft a little above or at the
level of the ground or even below.
Tni3 can be** done as in top-working
apples, cutting 'the scions a Httk
thicker on the outside. It is best tc
start tho taper opposite a bud. pla
cing the scion in the cleft so that th?

bud forces out and is nt or just abovf
the level of the cut stock, il th?
stock be large enough, insert i wc
scions. After they are placed so thai
the sapwood of scion and stock ar<
in contact, mound up dirt firmly til!
the top bud of the scion is just ex
posed. If it is impossible to do tht
grafting before sap flow begins, delaj
It till the vigorous flow is over anc
then do it. There is a decided inter
r-uptlon after the first flow. Som*
even prefer the latter period foi
grafting. It will then be a simple mat
ter to train the growth as before, anc
you will have a better vine than coule
possibly be obtained in the way yoi
suggest.
Rest Period for Trees.
All trees and shrubs, in fact al
perennial plants, must have a perloc
of rest. This is true even of th<
evergreen, whose foliage, while re
taining its color, is as nearly desti
tute of vitality during the winter as
those trees which shake off theil
leaves in the autumn.
Grapes.
Tho grape is an American fruit fo:
the most part. It can be so easilj
propagated and grown. You don'
have to make wine and get rich foi
a few hours.

Keep the orchard land in good tilth
The trees can be set as soon as the

Gooseberries require a cool situa

and should be partially shaded.
As soon as caterpillar nests are ir
evidence, burn them without delaj

Good fruit can be raised only with
care and attention given to spraying
pruning and generally good care.
Gather up dead branches and burn
them, as they are apt to harbor bark
beetles, one of the worst orchard pests.
Blackberries should be given space
in the garden, for there are few, ii
any, fruits} that give quicker and bet

A yearling tree is preferred by
many to older trees. They are
thought to be safer to transplant thin
two-year trees.
Plant a cover crop In the orchard.
Rye, barley, wheat and oats are good
non-leguminous plants, but the le
gumes are better.
Don't expose the roots to the hot

Great Mass of Proof.
Reports of 30.000 Cases of
Kidney Trouble' Some of
Them Edgefield Cases.
Each of some 6,000 newspapers
of the United States is puhlishing

who have u.sed and recommended
Doan's kidney pills for kidney
backache, weak kidneys, bladder
troubles and urinary disorders. This
mass of proof includes over 30,000
testimonials. Edgefield is no ex

Edgefield, S. C. says: "I was both
erod by kidney complaint from
childhood and it got worse after I
had the measles about twelve years
ago. I suffered from acute pains
throughout my body and 1 had
tnuch trouble from weakness from
the kidneys and bladder. Dean's
kidney pills were just what I need
ed, driving away my pains and
strengthening my kidneys and blad
der. Whenever I have felt in need
of a kidney medicine since, Doan's
Kidney pills have come to my aid.
1 consider them the best kidney
medicine to be had."
