The cool wet weather during
May caused corn to rot in the
ground in many places in the
State, and some fields were re
planted in June. June planting
has been known to make good
crops of corn when frost did not
come early in the fall. There is
one thing pretty sure about June
planting; cut worms will not hurt
it, as their work is over late in
May.

Dow to Make Rose-Beads.
Any girl who cannot afford a
strand of pretty beads can make
some that are delightfully fra
grant from her mother s rose
gar.Ien. Gather five or six pints
of rose petals, the fresher the
roses the more fragrant will be
the beads. Grind these petals
seven times through a meat chop
per, two times using the coarse
date and five times using the
fine plate. After adding one
fourth ounce of tincture of iron,
mold the mixture into the shape
and size of small marbles by roll
ing between the fingers. Only a
little practice will be required to
make the beads quite perfect
When the beads have slightly
hardened make a hole through
each one with a hat pin or coarse
needle. Set aside again unti
perfectly firm and hard. Dip a
velvet cloth in vaseline and pol
ish each bead. Then the beads
may be strung with small gold or
silver bead3. These rose beads
will keep their fragrance a long
time. Other blossoms may be

Shallow Cultivation.
When our land3 were new and
filled with fertility, we could
raise corn on slatelands despite
the way we tore up the ground
and cut off the slender roots with
the big shovel cultivators, and in
a few instances, it could be ac
complished yet, if there should
happen to be enough rainfall to
settle the earth back again to
where it should be, namely, close
to the roots. It is agreed by all
who study their work that if the
slateland seedbed for corn has
been well worked, no more severe
tearing up of the soil should take
place. Plenty of spike harrow
teeth in the cultivator, just to
keep crusts from forming and to
rake off the weeds, is all the cul
tivation such naturally loose soil
should receive-and that very
Bhallow. To throw the soil into
ridges is but to dry itout, cut off
the very small roots that run out
more than a yard in every direc
tion, and retard the growth of
the corn. Better sell the big
shovels for old iron. Do not let
crusts remain, they draw all the
moisture from the soil.

Pianos, Organs, Victrolas, Rec
ords, and Professional Tu
ner, McConnellsburg,
Nothing adds more to the refinements of home than
good music. To have good music you must have a good
instrument. There are good bad and indifferent instru
ments, and to the unskilled eye they look much alike.
The unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a
first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have
lived in this county since my birth,.I am a taxpayer and
in a position to make good any business transactions;
Buy your piano, organ, or victrola from me and if it is
not all right you can come back at me.
There are families in every part of this county that
have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about
me.
Perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano,
or Player Piano; or your Plain Piano, for a Player. See
me. Let's talk it over.
