Llnac and Salpfcnr Sprays.
Racent tests at the Geneva (N. Y.) i
?xperlment station suggest that the
thorough spraying of scale Infested i
trees with a sulphur wash may take '
the place of the first one of the com
bined treatment with bordeaux mix
ture and paris green for scale and scab.
It Is found that the sulphur washes j
kill many other iusects besides the (
scale and result in considerable benefit !
to tlie tree. On the other hand, it was
noticed that in spraying old orchards '
some of the buds were killed on the
lower branches by the lartre quantity
of the spray which they received. The
effect was to thin the fruit and de
crtase its number while improving the

Private pews, first allowed as person

restoration came into increased favor

Of slembcrlnp in an upper pew.
Swift humorously described how one
was appropriately made out of a large
wooden bedst* ad. and in early Geor
gian times pews were to be found fur
uished with sofas and tables and pro
vided with fireplaces.
Bishop Eden states that in one case a
livery servant entered the pew of his
master between prayers and sermon
with sherry and light refreshments.
Thickly curtained or highly partition
ed box pews were so numerous in some
churches at one time that the poor were
practically excluded or thrust back into
comfortless sittings in the coldest and
darkest parts o" the church, where they
could hear little of the service.? Lon

How To Ward Off Old Age.
The most successful way of
warding off the approach of old
age is to maintain a vigorous di
gestion. This can be done by eat
ing only food suited to your age
and occupation, and when any dis
order of the stomach appears take
a dose of Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets to correct it.
If you have a weak stomach or
are troubled with indigestion, you
will find these tablets to be just
what you need. For sale by HiU

Y*u can't eat your cake and have it
too. If you cut flowers all over your
grounds, particularly near the house,
the place will not look its best. More
over, we none of us have enough cut
flowers for house decorations and to
give away. If you plan to raise a great
many flowers for cutting in beds and '
borders you are simply inviting back- j
ache and hours of unnecessary work, j
The cheaper, easy and sensible way is I
to have a separate place for raising'
flowers that you want for cutting. Se- j
lect a place that is out of the way. so 1
that the removal of tlie flowers will not
spoil the garden or landscape effect.
The vegetable garden is just the place,
because you can have long, straight
rows and cultivate tlieni easily by
horse or wheel hoe. You can trust an
iguorant laborer to hoe anything that
is in straight lines, but he is the ruin
of an informal border.? Garden Maga

The Walt* In 17M1.
I was engaged iu looking at those
fine people when a gentleman and lady
came whirling hy ami had almost over
whelmed me. T could not Imagine what
they were about. I had scarcely extri
cated myself from the danger with'
which they threatened me when anoth
er and another couple came- twisting by
in like manlier. I found on inquiry that
this was a favorite Herman dance call
ed a waltz and is performed in the fol
lowing manner: The lady and gentle
man stand face to face. The gentleman
puts his arm around the lady's waist
and with the other hand he gets firm
hold on her arm. You would at first
think they were going to wrostl'e. Thus
prepared and the gentleman having g.?t

ssrt Sheep Manure.
No farmer can afford to let any of
the sheep inquire go to waste, as its
fertilizing properties* are of the very
best, says Farm Journal.
Sheep manure will continue to enrich
the ground and show in the crops for
a dozen years. Sheep manure is worth
the price of a building to preserve it.
Selecting Seed Corn.
After shelling tbe seed corn better re
sults can be obtained by hand picking
it much the same as you pick beans.
Throw out ail small or inferior graius
and save only the plump uniform ker
nels that are true to the type you con
sider tbe model of excellence.
Care of Horte*.
V.'e know a farmer whose horses nev
?r have sore shoulders, says Farmers
Advocate. Every evening after un
barnes ipg lie w^hes. the horses' shoul
ders with cold water. This removes
the dirt, cools the shoulders and keeps
the flesh healthy.
Fertile Kk ar*.
Fertilo eggs should be gathered often,
us with a very little heat they begin to
incubate. A number of hens laying in
tbe saire nest sometimes furnish bent
enough to' render the first eggs laid 1111
fit for tal>!e use.
Saved by Dynamite.
Sometimes a flaming city is
saved by dynamiting a space that
the fire can't cross. Sometimes a
cough hands on so long you feel
as if nothing but dynamite would
cure it. Z. T. Gray of Calhoun,
Ga., writes: "My wife had a very
aggravated cough, which kept her
awake nights. Two physicians
could not help her; so she took
Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds,
which eased her cough, gave her
sleep, and finally cured her."

by the Stamping Secretary, so it's
impossible to get a policy unless
all the rules and rates are follow
ed out. In other words, every in
surance company charges the
same rates. It is then pimply a
question of which is the best com
pany, as all charge the same
rates. The above companies are

ies, pay your iosess promptly and
