CLEANER FOR RAKE TEETH.
An Interesting Device to Assist the
Amateur Gardener.
Tho nmiitour gardener soon learns
that tho uso of tho rnke Is not ns easy
as it seems to bo. Tlio teeth nre con
stantly getting clogged with tho Hik
ings and It Is nocossary to make a
halt at more or loss frequont intorvals
In order to clean out tho Implement.
IT the means of a nowly patented
t-ihrnent to the rnke It "is possible
3 l perform this operation with little
cr no loss of time. A series of too.h
cler.ners aro mounted by means of a
rock shaft on the head of the ra- n
and as the teeth become clogged up
a projecting member mounted on the
handle of the implement at a conveni
ent point is pulled down and tho ac
cumulations nre dislodged.
Poultry Raising Hlnt3.
S.iinl cannot take the place of grit
for your fowls. Whnt they need Is
something sharp. The round surface
of a grain of sand Is not going to do
much toward cutting the hard outside
h "k of a kernel of corn, wheat or
other grains.
To Increase tho egg yield, to cut
down expenses and to accelerate
growth do not require now breeds,
hut more practical breeders.
For chicken pox or any sore head
an ointment can be made of two parts
lard and one of kerosene.
For soft-shelled eggs give hons
more exercise. Cut out corn and give
vegetables in abundance. An injec
tion of oil into vent may relieve local
inflnmmatlou.
White clover Is rich In protein and
lime, good for both chicks and hons.
When grass is kept short by a lawn
mower it Is much more tender and
better liked.
Let the hens out occasionally whon
they can be watchod for a scamper
after grasshoppers and grass. Thoy
will not hurt anything after the first
crop is cut.
To Tell if Lime Is Needed.
Whether it is lime or humus that
Is needed on your land may easily bi
determined by dressing a strip across
the field with manure and one at right
(ingles to that with lime, the manure, !
of course, to be plowed under before
the lime is applied. This should :e
done nt .least a year before so'., a?
the clover seed. If there is a Ms ble
improvement in tho clover crop jn
the limed strip, nnd especially where
tills strip crosses the manured Btrlp.
then it may safely be assumed that
liming will pay.
In most field experiments it will
not answer to depend upon the eye
alone to measure results per ncio
cannot always be detected by the oyo;
but In tlie application of lime to clov
er the more luxuriant growth on the
limed land If lime is needed is usu
ally such as to leave no room for mistake.-

Scalding Peach Borers.
The hot water cure is rocommonded,
by many for peach tree borers. It 1b'
a somewhat drastic treatment- for
the borer though it does-not hurt the
tree. Tho borora work either at or
direr tly beneath the surface of tho
ground, the trunk. The tree may be
hll'ed up In the form of a aaucgr, the..
dirt packed a little and the PMWM
water poured in. This will invaria
bly bring out any borers. It is not
believed to hurt tho tree, although an
excess of water should not be used.
An emulsion of one part of imptho'e
um to l'O parts of water In also ru
ommended.
Vegetables for Market.
A great many farmers who gro
soma vegetable for market and yetf
do not make a uiBtinrt nusineae or

often prove profitable. Iate be.ms

WHERE WAS BILL?
Jones's Goods Gave an Awful Shock to
His Wife.
13111 Jones Is a country storc-keepor
down In Louisiana, and last nprlng he
went to Now Orleans to purchase a
Btock of goods. The goods wore ship
ped Immediately and reached homo

loud cry and called for a hammer. A
neighbor, hearing the screams, rush

What Was Missing.
An Knglish drill sergeant whoso se
verity had made hltn unpopular with
his company, was putting a squad of
recruits through tho funeral exercise.
Opening the ranks so as to admit the
paseago of a cortege between them, the
Instructor, by way of practical ex
planation, walked slowly down the
iane formed by the two ranks, say
ing as he did so, "Now, I am the
corpse. Pay attention. Having reach
ed the end of tho lane, he turned
round, regarded the recruits with a
scrutinising eye and then remarked,
"Your 'nnds Is right, and your eads
Is right, but you 'avn't got that look
of regret you ought to ave."
Down in Arkansas.
In a part of Arkansas whore .the
natives take life easy, n young man
aud his sister were one day sitting on
the porch when a funeral passed.
The boy, who was sitting whistling
in a- chair tilted comfortably back
against the side of the house on Its
hind legs, remarked. "I reokpn ol' man
Johnson's got about the biggest
funeral that's ever been hold nround
hyenh."
"A purty good sized one. Is It?"
questioned tho sister.
"You betchcr," tho boy answered.
"I would like to see it," roplied the
girl. "What a pity I ain't facln' that
way," '

A REMiNDER OF LA SALLE.
Cross Found on the Site of Old Fort
St. Louis Built by Explorer.
A number of ancient relics have
been found from time to time durum
tho last few years updn tho site of
old Fort Bt. Louis which La Sallo, the
noted French explorer, and his brave
bnnd of adventurers erected in IfiSo
upon tho oast bank of tho Navldid
river, Just above whnro Port Lavacn.
Texas, Is now situated. One of these
historic reminders cj,f the visit of the
explorer Is a cross which is made of
iron. It was found several feot he
neath the surfaro near tho bank of
the river. !t is now in possosslon of
Harry Hlckford of Port Lhvacn.
It was from Fort St. Louis that La
Sallo started upon his Ill-fated expedi
tion Into the interior in search of tho
Mississippi river. He entered Pass
Cavnllo and explored Matagorda bay
In tho original belief, it Is said, that
It wag hero that the Mississippi river
emptied Ita broad waters. He spent
some time exploring the coast In t its
section and then wont np the Navldad
river some ten miles and there built
his little fort. Hie site of this first
settlement Is full of beauty. Tho tim

The trip which La Sallo and h':

Th'e Monkeys' Revenge.
A lady In India, residing during the
hot season among the lower hills of
the Himalayas, had a little terrier,
says a writer in "Answers." "Fury."
as he was called, il'sliked the whole
monkey race, and as thore were bun
dreds of them in the trees surround
ing tlie house, ho had many orror
tunltles for exhibiting ills nntlpathy.
The monkeys made" no distinction
between the house of an English lady
and the cottage of a Hindu. Thoy in
sisted upon sitting upon tlie balconies
and Fury resented their intrusion by
barking and frightening them away
The monkeys resented Fury's oifl
clousness in due time, in n way which
illustrates their revengeful cunning
One day little Fury was walking In
front of his mistress. As they were
passing through a dark thicket of
rhododendrons, she saw a skinny arm
dart out from amid the blossoms,
seize tlie terrier and both disnppear.
Sho rushed to his roscue, but the
monkey bore off the dog, yelping and
howling, to the top of a high tree. The
mistress stood helpless while her pet
was passed from monkey to monkey
thnt each might pinch the hated dog
and pull out his hair. When thoy had
tired of tills sort of avenging them
selves, one monkey took the dog out
to tho extreme end of a brancli nnd
dropped him over a precipitous cliff.

Success with Sandwiches.
When I wish to have especially
nico sandwiches I bake my broad In

porno cans that hold twonty-flvo ounce
(pound cans will do) and when I
mold my bread I 1111 them half full,
let rise until full, then bake. I then
have slices Just a nice size, with only
a thin crust. Hero are two nice flll
Inpi for them: Kqual quantities of
boiled ham and hard boiled eggs,
chopped or ground in ir.ent chopper.
For peanut butter as a filler I use one
quart of ground poanutB and one
