D1SX.MARK., Th Fredriksborg Citizens' league affords a rare instance of the ability of an organization to change its charac ter without much internal friction. Some fifteen years ago it as organ ized as a local political club. Bu within a short time everything that savored of politics as given up, and the society devoted all its energies to the social entertainment of its mem bers. Of late a departure has been made. This consists of the es tablishment of a mutual benefit fund, several thousand dollars having been subscribed within a few days after the plan as agreed upon.

It seems that catching the "lit tle turk" and destroying him (or her) bodily is the only "sure cure." To do this, take a sheet of any thin, cheap stuff—as cheese cloth—of suit able size, say three yards square secure it over a frame of light slats made as in dicated in the cut. Fig. 1. The three sides AAA, are full length the other side has an opening to allow the device to be placed under the tree*. To secure rigidity, add two slats as br'Sces, shown at BB.

The dotted lines O indicate the opening in the sheet which allows the same to •be projected under the tree. The space between the dotted lines may be cov ered when the sheet is placed upon the ground by means of a flap. Fig. 2 represents a wooden block, H, with springs attached in such manner as that it may be readily and securely attached to any part of the body of the tree to be jarred. The block should be padded so as to prevent injury to the tree when it is struck with maul. Th operator supplied with such an outfit as indicated may go rapidly over the plum orchard of cool mornings when the curculio are dormant. Jar them down upon the sheet and destroy them. —G. W. Waters, in Ohio Farmer. THE CODLIN MOTH. An Ounc of on at 1M W a of Care. I do not profess that this cure or trap will catch all the moths, but a large per centage of them will be kept from lay ing on the fruit buds. Take an ordinary barrel and fill it about three parts with water hang any kind of a lantern right over the barrel by means of a piece of lath, allowing the bottom of the lantern to hang just in side the barrel and above the water. Choose still nights about the time the bloom is dropping. I say still nights because of a two-fold reason: Firstly, the moth does not fly on a windy night secondly, it is hard to keep the light in the lantern if windy. All night-flying insects or moth will fly to a light, and striking against the lantern fall into the water, when ,thc mealy substance that is on the wings becomes sticky and they are therefore unable to rise again. In the morning a goodly number of these nighi marauders will be captured. I have seen as high as four quarts of moths taken from four barrels, which for all the trouble and expense is a very good return. If this be repeated for two or three nights there will be little or no use of spraying, although 1 have gener ally advised one spraying after.—J. R. Johnson, in American Gardening. Convict on ad Work The convict as a road maker hu* been the subject of some controversy, but on the whole it hjis been fairly well ad mitted that*the one was the solution of the,Qt.her. The warden at one of the Xew Vork state prisons, taking advantage of the enforced idleness on the part of many convicts, owing to a recently passed law stopping the sole of any prison-made goods, used them on the reads of the village, with of course, but one result—good roads. bills are now ou their way to become laws of that state, which will enable wardens to put convicts at work on jhe roads in the vicinity of two state prisons. With the object lessons which these examples will furnish it is to be hoped that the light of wisdom will shine over other legislatures.—Referee. "1 Heuatifal' Milk 1'aila. Th princess of Wales has received a present of two of the most beautiful milk pails ever made. "They are of maple wood, with solid'brass hoops and handles, and the lids bear a floral de sign painted by the Artist Mussill. One pail has upon it the Danish motto which, translated, means "God for honorandrighteousness," and the other the motto of Wales. Herr Hoist, the venerable master cooper of Copenhag en, presented them to the princess a few days ago.

"I was born in Germany and am thirty seven years old. I live with my husband on a tarm. For ten years I suffered with leucorrhoea so that I was a burden to my friends and myself also. I had tried a great many doctors and different kinds of medi cines without securing any benefits. My condition had become so deplorable that I had almost given up hope of recovery, when one day 1 saw in the Sauk Centre Herald an advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as 'a drowning person catches at a straw,' so I grasped this chance and pur chased from Hanson & Emerson a box of Pink Pills. I commenced taking them in March, 1896, and after taking one box I felt BO, much improved that I bought more. "After taking them for a time I found to my surprise that I was entirely cured. Ever since then I have been as strong and well as I ever was, and am able to do the arduous duties which fall to the lot of a farmer's wife without feeling the least fatigue or in convenience. "I hope this will be the means of placing your wonderful pills in the hands of some sister sufferer, who may rejoice with me. am satisfied that no woman need suffer as I did, when such an efficient remedy is so close at hand." (Signed) MRS. H. STENERAGEL." Subscribed before me this 19th day of December, 1896. CHAS. F. HENDRY, Notary Public, Minnesota. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a con densed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities, and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, over work or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills,are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. You never really know how many dis eases there are to which mortals are sub jei.t until you hear a crowd of old women talking together.—Atchison Globe. tV'hy McCormic a he Left to he a Binder It has been said that the conveniences of one age become the necessities of the next: but no ordinarily sane man will contend that the necessities of one age should be come the inconveniences of the next. When binding was done by hand the left hand cut harvester was a necessity. The grain fell on the platform of the harvester and was de livered into the receiver with its heads towards the rear of the machine. The men stood in the receiver facing the grain. With the left hand machine the heads of the grain are at the left hand of the man doing the binding, so in taking out the bundle with the band around it, whether the man turned to the front table or to the back tuble he kept his position toward the bundle itself—that is, with the heads toward his left hand hence, in making the tuck he shoved the ends under the band toward the heads. Grain is handled by the shocker by grasping into the heads, as shown in the illustration, and the tuck should therefore be toward the heads, so that it will not pull out. The hand binding harvester with men to do the binding is out of date, and so is the left hand machine, which has been super seded by the McCormick Right Hand Open Elevator, the success of which makes it seem highly probable that there will be no pro gressive manufacturer building left hand machines in three years. The application of roller bearings to grain cutting machinery was made by J. G. Perry in 1869, and his patent, No. 86,584, for ah improved reaper, showed and described various ways of using roller and ball bear ings in harvesters. In view of these facts it is somewhat amusing to read the claims of a certain reaper maker of the present day, who says he was the first to introduce roller bearings in harvesting machinery. As a matter of fact this manufacturer is com paratively a beginner in the art of reaper building and has originated nothing. Unquestionably the most practical and sat isfactory application of roller bearings to binders and mowers has been made by the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company. The Particular form used by them was patent ed in 1882 and is now to be found in all Mc Cormick machines. The especially valuable feature of the McCormick roller bearing is seen in, the form—or cage as it is called— v^hich holds the rollers from running to gether, and if for any cause the cage is taken from the shaft the rollers will not fall out and get lost. In order to avoid the McCor mick patent the other harvesting machine company who claims to be the originator of roller bearings in harvesters has cut out the metal in the ring at the ends of the rollers. If the cage is taken out the rollers slip out and become filled with grit, or worse, get lost. The methods of the McCormick Company result in an annual saving of many thousands of dollars to the farming public. New de vices are not embodied in their machines until long and oft-repeated trials have shown them to be practical. It has been the same with the roller bearings as with every thing else—McCormick experimenting is dene at McCormick expense, and not afc-thc expense of the farmers, who are too often duped by manufacturers who rush into print for notoriety and bull the market with impractical forms.
