less bounteous crop of roots and snags but anything that is worth doing at all is worth doing well i always take some pains and do as good a job as possible preparing the land having the ground plowed the next task is the harrowing on this point i want to place special emphasis be cause many a crop isdoomed to failure or diminutive returns because the seed bed was not properly prepared in the case of a heavy june grass sod a disc is necessary to cut it up the disc should be followed by a spring- tooth harrow to mellow the ground my experience has been that usually a disc was not needed on new ground because there was more briers and roots than sod i use a steel framed harrow with adjustable teeth and the first time over the ground i set the teeth rather light this picks up the most of the loose roots the second the way or the ground is too rough a regular fivetooth adjustable cultij sv ii a with a vital necessity in peace or war i tthe operations of hydroelectric and 1 public utility

blow as the little tubers are setting on about that time it stands to reason that if the vitality is sapped from the plant at this critical period there will be fewer tubers set on and they will not be so vigorous as they will in the case of a last time over the ground i go corner- wise of the field which makes the marking out easy if the ground is not very rough three harrowings will do but i usually go over the land five or six times work spent in preparing the seed bed is not lost the first time over i follow the furrows and thus avoid turning any of them back as would likely be the case if the har row were dragged crosswise there are usually little hummocks made by trees uprooting years ago we call these cradle knolls to level off a cradle knoll i stop the team just at the base of it and put my harrow teeth down to the last notch then i stand on the frame and pull through this takes off the top of the knoll and stopping again and raising the teeth we go on to the next one a few doses of this will level off the knolls and put the ground in pretty good shape putting in the seed the next step is the planting while the drill method works very well in old ground i prefer planting in checks in new ground for two reasons first the soil can be thoroughly stirred around the hill promoting a healthy expansion of the tubercluster and killing the briers and grass that would otherwise line the rows second when the crop is harvested there is no living thing in sight the wild growths have been thoroughly sub dued and the field is in excellent shape for any crop that i want to plant

pupils arrive the our children if at the same time and teacher is certainly not the person of some heavy hooks in the barn to hang the chains of various sizes on so that they may be readily seen save a lot of time hunting when one is needed in the same place we weaken them and make them unhealthy so that they can not use to the fullest de gree the education they receive that is like trying to fill

form i place two to three tablespoonfuls in a twelvequart pail and fill it with wa ter then stir until the lead is all dis solved i apply with a whiskbroom and keep constantly stirring the solu tion while i am applying it i wait until the first crop of young bugs begin to hatch and then i apply freely to every hill being careful to get the dope well into the centre or heart of the plant as here is where the young bugs first congregate i treat every hill the same whether there are any bugs in it or not when i am done the potato patch looks as if it had been whitewashed the bug troubles is ended for some time if there are no other potatoes near this one application is all that is required but if your neighbor neglects his bugs they will often invade your crop and necessitate another application later on i have never had to use more than two applications and usually only one last year i raised a patch of potatoes in an isolated spot and treated them in this manner after a others who never wear any head cov ering but i do not remember to have seen any account of them certainly savages shave the hair from their heads for what we call cosmetic effect or perhaps for fear it may fall out from diseases but such diseases as fevers which result in loss of hair are not very common among them as long as they are free from the vices and restraints of civilization we can therefore say that baldness is one of the ills which has come with social development dandruff often causes baldness and means an excessive supply of the oily greasy substance provided by the sebaceous glands to keep the hair smooth and soft under normal con ditions when it is very abundant in the form of dry scales or small oily lumps it loosens the attachment of the root of the hair to its follicle and the hair falls out or may be easily pulled out if there is an insufficiency of this same oily material the hair becomes dry and brittle and breaks or splits off there are numerous diseases of the scalp in which the hair is lost when these diseases are cured the hair will grow again in some cases period of two weeks i carefully ex- seed to two eyes and planting ortb amined the plants and failed

it previously was obscnt and if dandruff disap pears it is fair to say the prepara tion used had something to do with it fashions in hair remedies change like fashions in clothes a few years ago pomades and oils for the hair wero popular and oiled and scented ringlets were marks of beauty such overdosing of the hair and sur rounding tissues probably caused much baldness and perhaps that is why it was given up hair that is dry and brittle needs oil hair that is normal does not hair that is greasy from too much seba ceous matter needs an astringent to dry up the excessive secretion simple diluted alcohol or bay rum will do this as well as expensive lot ions and tonics if the hair has fallen out and tho root structure is not dead stimulant substances like cantharides or mus tard or nux vomica will often start a new growth and hair tonics contain ing these substances may be useful if the matrix and the sebaceous glands connected with tho hair struc tures are dead no tonic will revive them the treating of the hair even by those who are skilled is therefore in many cases a matter of experiment and it is wiser to get the opinion of a dermatologist as to what may be use ful than to

housekeeping the farm woman whose house shines from attic to cellar and from kitchen to parlor has yet sent her children to schools which received only a yearly cleaning the injury to health is due to dust breathed into the lungs dust is of two kinds organic dust that which is thrown off by human beings and all animal life and inorganic or mineral dust organic dust is the kind which car ries germs but we are finding out that disease is only occasionally con veyed by the air so that the part which this form of dust plays in ill- noss is no longer considered to be very groat it is inorganic mineral dust when this becomes sharp and gritty which is our real danger dust of this kind is blown in at the windows and ia brought in on the feet of the children and ground up into small particles upon the floors thorn when it is stirred up and mixed wlthj the air it is breathed in and it cuts j and scratehes tho breathing passages and lungs leaving upon them rough surfaces which are just what germs breed on colds tuberculosis and many of the childrens diseases thus find an opportunity to develop black- 1 boards chalks and slates also scatter theso tiny bladoliko particles nil around tho rooms windows must be opon and dust fly in through them children must walk to school nnduntil we are as polite os tho japanese and leave our shoos outside bring in tho dirt upon their foot blackboards and chalk are al most necessary for school work so what shall wo do about it there is just ono answer we must employ some one to sweep tho school- house every afternoon when school is dismissed and to dust it in the morn- floors covered with wet sawdust wet paper torn into bits tea leaves or other damp substare to which tho dislodged dirt will cling and which can then be burned a still better brush is the kind whose bristles are slowly fed from a little tank of kero sene coaloil very little dust can escape this weapon a vacuum cleaner is by all means the most thorough cleaner there is as will be seen when one is passed over a surface which is supposed to have been well cleaned al- ready and yet picks up a generous and dangerous quantity of dirt the dusting of school furniture must be done with a damp or an oiled cloth dry dusting is merely a danc ing party for the dirt slates have been done away with in most schools because doctors have shown us how harmful is the sharp gritty dust which crumbles from them p when it is breathed into the lunr the ordinary plasterofparis is also injurious and shoisl- placed by what is called the dvsciess crayon it is not quite dustless but is an improvement upon chalk still better is it to substitute for a black- board a paper roll known as a muroj scroll one thousand feet of paper four feet wide revolves in a large standing frame upon rollers turned by knobs play and gymnastics should take place out of doors whenever possible for the feet stir up the dust which we wish to have he quietly until the afternoon cleaning gets rid of it when it is necessary to have reces and exercise indoors the window should bo wido open if the schoolroom is cleaned ever day and dusty implements are n longer used not enough dirt will 1 created
