CAMERA FOR INSECTS. Hon to Adjust the Photographic Ap paratus and the Proper Method of Ktponare. On the top of a tripod or camera stand may be fixed a double, board, hinged so that it will turn up at right angles with its base as in the accom panying sketch, and supported 6y a side rod or slotted bar. It will be seen that if the camera is screwed to the up right board, the lens will point down ward to the ground. It is obvious that if anything is placed on the floor, by using the camera in this position the object can be very readily seen on the ground glass of the instrument. Hooks, manuscripts and sueli like things that are difficult to fix up can thus be very easily copied, and with a great saving of time. The size does not matter. One has only to lengthen or reduce the dis tance between the object and the lens to get the necessary reduction; but it is not for this purpose that 1 now de scribe an arrangement 1 have success fully used for some years in photo graphing insects, such as butterflies, beetles, or shells, leaves, single flowers, etc. Much time can be saved, as one has Ik Very Simple Hut lillcetlvc In Every Inntuuce. In transplanting trees, success de pends largely upon the water supply. Most trees do the major part of their growing in the springtime. After the middle of summer practically all wood growth ceases, and the balance of the year is devoted to hardening up the wood to withstand the cold of winter, so that the wood growth of trees de pends largely upon the kind of spring and June weather encountered. If the spring is a backward one, and a May or June drought ensues, even though slight, no matter how splendid the growing weather of the latter part of summer and fall may be, the wood growth of trees will be light. There iP/ ill^ HOW TO WATER TREES. fore it is well to irrigate transplanted trees. In watering plants of any kind a large proportion of the moisture ap plied is lost by evaporation. A very simple method for sub-irrigation of trees is shown in the cut. Take four pieces of eight or ten-inch board, two feet long, and nail them together into a simple, four-sided box without ends. Set this in the ground at the base of the tree and let the top project above ground three or four inches. Throw some coarse grass or trash into the bot tom of the box, and a pailful of water can occasionally be poured into the box and allowed to soak into the earth gradually. In this way no water will be wasted and the surface soil can be kept finely pulverized and conserve the moisture down at the roots. This meth od of watering is especially practicable for transplanted trees, because their roots are all in a small compass and have not yet spread out the height of the tree, as will be the case later. A large tile forms an ideal box of this kind. Soapsuds or waste water of any kind can be used to good advantage in this manner.—Guy E. Mitchell, in Epitomist.

B B are two irons that are fastened to the beam. These irons are one-quarter inch thick and two inches wide, and bolted to the beam. Cis the beam and is one and one-half inches square. D represents the handles. E is two braces made of one-fourth by two-inch iron. There can be several holes made in the braces. The handles can be lowered and raised to suit. Pis the iron to which the knife is fastened and is made of one-fourth inch iron. G is the blade. We made ours out of an old cross cut saw. It is eight inches long and two and one-half inches wide. At each end there should be high guards. Then there will be no danger of covering the young- plants. The blade can lie made any length that the distance between the rows requires.— Ira Graber, in Agricultural Epitomist. Feeil ami Pork Flavor. There is a vast difference in the qual ity of pork. Some is sweet, tender and juicy. Some is directly the reverse. Feed is largely responsible for this difference, says the Epitomist. In ex periments, conducted for the purpose of determining the influence of food on the quality of pork, it has been found that milk, corn, barley, oats and peas produce the most solid and best-fla vored meat. I'otatoes produce a soft pork. By-products of the flour mill make an inferior pork. Oil meals pro duce pork that is oily and of poor flavor. The meat, made from feeding beans is without flavor, and hard and indigesti ble. Acorns do not make good pork. Mutter Without Churning:. It is reported that a Swedish in- ' ventor lias introduced what he terms a "radiator," which produces butter from milk without churning. It corn bines the principle of the well known separator, so far as removing the cream from the milk is concerned, but the butter is produced from the cream, the whole operation of pasteurizing the milk, separating the cream and <;on verting it into butter being done at the same time with the one machine. A Profaae Silence. A story is going the rounds of a golf match between Rev. l)r. Sterret and Justice Ilar lan of the United States supreme court. The incident occurred at Chevy Chase Golf club, one of the prominent organizations near Washington, during a meeting be twen these two ardent golfers. The doctor discovered that his ball teed up in tempting style for a fine brassie shot, and, with the utmost deliberation, he went through with the preliminary "waggles," and with a su preme effort—missed the ball. For fully a minute lie gazed at the tantalizing sphere without uttering a word. At length Jus i tice Harlan remarked solemnly: "Doctor, that was the most profane silence I ever listened to."—Pittsburgh Dispatch.
