Tallest Tree In the World.
The tallest tree in the world so far
as hus been ascertained is an Austra
lian gum tree of the species eucalyptus
regnans, which stands in tbe Cape Ot
way range. It is no loss than 415 feet
high. Gum trees grow very fast. There
is one in Florida which shot up forty
feet in four years and another in Guat
emala which grew 120 feet in twelve
years. This corresponds to a rise of
ten feet in a year, or nearly one foot

The two inn In pieces In the frame
of the sweep are ninde of 2 by 4 Inch
pine scantling; they are 12 feet long
and about 20 Inches apart. The teeth
are made of 2 by 4 Inch scantling, and
are 0 feet long ; they are beveled ou the
lower side to slide over uneven ground.
The arms for hitching the whittle trees
to should project about , 2 feet 0 Inches
over the end of the sweep; these are
made of 2 by 5 Inch stuff. The gulde

inch stuff; this Is rnised nbout a foot
above the sweep to keep the hay from
sliding back too far over the sweep. It
should be braced about four feet from
sach end.
The wheels are 18 Inches In diam
eter; and a piece of Inch gas pipe Is
used for an axle. It Is clumped to the
teeth, two pins with washers being
used to keep the wheels from sliding
sideways and rubbing against the teeth.
The piece projecting at the back
under the sweep should extend about
two feet; it Is beveled like a sleigh
runner; It is to keep the teeth from
raising too high where riding ou the
empty sweep.
In hitching horses to a sweep that
have never been used on one a person
can get best results by tying the halter
shank to the end of the guide-arms and
making both lines the same length on
the harness; then fasten one line to
each ring of the bit. When It Is desired
to turn the horses to the right, simply
hold the off horse back, and drive the
nigh one ahead, and he will naturally
wing around to the right.
In drawing a sweep load of hay on
to the stacker draw It as far ahead as
possible, then back the horses and raise
ends of teeth, and drive ahead again;
this will pack the hay on the stacker
and less of it Is npt to fall back on the
ground when being raised to the stack.
The most convenient size of stack to
build Is 1Q feet wide by about 23 feet
long. Montreal Star.

Tomatoes from Italy,
Tomatoes are imported In lnereasbig
quantities ench yenr from Itnly. The
quality of these tomatoes Is stated to
be good and the prices low. Large
quantities of canned tomatoes are also
shipped now each season from Itnly to '
the eastern part of the United States,
nnd the American shipments to Italy
are much smaller than formerly. It Is
suggested by one of the leading Import
ers in Liverpool that the American to
matoes are frequently packed before
they are fully ripe, and that this prac
tice renders them undesirable for use
The Italian tomatoes are carefuly se
lected, and are only packed after they
have attained a ripe and rich color.
Ars( Wo Scrub Formers f
We are nil npt to practice scrub
methods of farming, For Instance, we
allow the winter to pnss without mak
ing the necessary preparation for spring
work. We plow around stumps and
big stones year after year; we plo.v
through mudliolcs and harvest n rrop
of weeds when a few tiles and a little
labor would cause them to grow iho
iK-st crops on the farm. We do not mow
our roadsides nnd we allow our grass
to become overrlpo before we cut It
Doesn't pay.
Keep DlKWlnic In he Corn Field.
Some ambitious farmers are anxious
to lay by the corn field very early ; but
It Is not wise, for the grass and weeds
are always more forward to grow about
this season than any other, and the
ground will become very foul where tho
corn is too early laid by and, more than
this, a great proportion of the nourish
ment of the crop is derived from the Hlr
and dew conveyed to tbe roots. Tills
can be done only when the surface is
free from weeds.
Invest In a Sprayer,
No farm work pays better than
spraying the trees, berry bushes ami
grains vines. Attention to this matter
at tbe proper time assures immunity
from Insect enemies and good crops of
perfect fruit are the results. Don't
sprny fruit trees while the bloom Is on,
for thnt kills bees nnd bees are vnlunble
assistants in pollenlzlng fruits. A
spraying outfit for the farm need not
be large and costly, and will have Its
own value the first year it is used
