It Is the part of wisdom to be able to administer first aid to the Injured tree, as well as the more permanent aldH. One of the most common of these Is the splitting down of a limb, as sug gested In accompanying Illustration, Fig. 1. If the limb Is not broken wholly off If there Is still left a connecting link of sound wood and of sound bark the limb can with care be saved. This will UIIOKEN LIMB SAVED.. (Fig. 1, split limb; Fig. 2, in position.) often save the beauty of the tree. With as little delay as possible shorten all the small branches of the limb to make their weight as little as possible, then carefully lift the broken limb back Into position nud lash it firmly with ropes or straps. Now with a bit or auger bore a hole through the limb and tree trunk as suggested by the dotted line In Fig. 2, Through this Insert a bolt of Iron hav ing a head on one end and a nut on the other. Turn the nut on the end, with a big washer beneath It, until the crack In the break has been made as small as possible, then cover the crack neatly over with grafting wax. Many a tree has such a gaping wound as that shown In A, Fig. 2. It Is caused by sawing off a big limb and neglecting to protect the wound until nature could extend a new growth of bark over it. The new bark has begun to grow about the edges, but the wood has decayed within, and nature can carry growth of bark no further. Cut out all the decayed wood and fill the cavity completely with Portland ce ment mixed with water. Do not add GAPING WOUND EEPAIBED. sand, . Fill the cavity and press the cement close to the new bark (B, Fig. 3) that there may be left no little opening for air and water to enter. The life of a tree can be prolonged for many years by such aid as this. Orange Judd Farmer. Clover Hay. It Is claimed that clover hay may be baled in the field, but experiments made are not sufficient to show the benefits derived, compared with storing clover in the mow. The clover is cut in the morning, after It is free from dew or rain, and when well wilted the hay tedder is used, so as to give It ev ery chance to cure. In the afternoon the hay la baled and hauled to the barn. If this method is practiced, care must be exercised in having the hay prop erly cured and In Just the proper con dition for baling, as baled clover Is more liable to beat than timothy , or other kinds. Tomatoes. The tomato produces fruit through out the season until frost destroys the ylne. It will have blossoms, green fruit and ripe fruit at the same time, and is consequently a continuous bearer. To do this profusely, however, It should have a liberal application of fertilizer applied broadcast over considerable ground around the plant, and the soil should be kept clean, while the vines should be benefited by having supports. Substitute for Pari Green. As is well known, Paris green does not dissolve, but is held in suspension In water, hence the water must be con stantly agitated to properly apply It The Ohio experiment station recom mends a much cheaper mixture, which la soluble In water. It Is made by dis solving two pounds of commercial white arsenic and four pounds of car bonate (washing) of soda in two gal lons of water. Use one and a half pints of this mixture to each barrel of Bordeaux mixture when spraying for blight, scab, etc. rial-' ' ri'ela- Time Are Different. Not long ago a farmer in Iowa went to a harness dealer to buy a team of harness. He found one that suited him and the price was $45. The farmer happened to remember that about a dozen years ago he had bought a har ness Just like it from the same dealer for $35, and he mentioned the fact The dealer went to his book and found this to be true. "But," said the dealer, "my books show that you did not pay cash for it because you did not have the money. You hauled in 300 bushels of corn and gave It to me for the $35 harnesa Now, I'll tell you what I'll do. If you will bring me 300 bushels of corn I will give you the $45 harness, also a double buggy harness worth $35, a single buggy harness worth $15, a $7 plush robe, a boy's riding saddle worth $5, one whip and riding bridle worth $1.50, two leather halters worth $2.50, brush and currycomb worth $1 and a rawhide buggy whip worth $1." Mound City Enterprise. Growing: Radishes. No vegetable grows quicker than the radish, aw! a few rows only are neces sary to supply quite a large family. Radishes are unfit, unless grown quick ly and pulled at the proper time. As they are ordinarily grown the family Is kept supplied from the same bed until the radishes are hard and woody. Instead of so doing sow only part of a row at a time. The way to have them as they should be, until late In the season, Is to procure quite a num ber of packages, putting In the seed from a package every week until too late to sow them. By pursuing this method they may be had In a crisp, ten der state long after the usual first crop Is hard or gone to seed. Growing; Celery, Transplant celery to permanent beds in May or June, placing a large quan tity of manure In the trench. This crop Is one that cannot be surfeited by too much manure, as it is one of the grossest feeders known. The plants should be frequently watered, soapsuds being better for such purpose than any thing else, and the beds should be kept as clean and nice as possible. It re quires care to have celery that is large, crisp and white, but It Is a valuable crop when grown and pays well for the attention bestowed. If you neglect to sow the seed you can procure the plants from seedsmen and should not fail to have a supply. Wsys of the Green Bag;. Those who have been watching the green bugs say that they fly only on winds blowing from the south, and the minute the wind changes from the south and gets in the north the bugs alight. This was demonstrated one evening last week, according to a Law rence (Kan.) paper. After eight hoars of nagging, blustery south wind the air was filled with these bugs. At 7 o'clock in the same evening the wind switched to the north and the bugs disappeared. The bugs have been coming from Texas for two months, and on every south wind they move northward. Platte City Landmark. Weeds and Graag), The earth Is seemingly able to pro duce weeds or grass, whether fertile or poor, and they always appear at the same time, when the crops need the most care. Weeds are beneficial to a certain extent, although Injurious, for the gardener Is often compelled to era dicate them when he would otherwise give the garden his attention. By so jJoing he keeps the soil In a fine, friable condition for the desired crop. Weeds, however, should be removed as soon as they appear ; by so doing the work can be more easily done, and the stir ring of the soil will then be required only to a moderate depth. Garden Seed. Where several varieties of plants of the same kind are grown together, it will not be proper to save seed there from. The different kinds of melons, peas, sweet corn or other crops have their pollen distributed by the winds or by Insects, and seed saved under such circumstances will prevent uni formity next year. The greatest care should be observed to avoid mixing when saving seed is the object Working; Cabbag-e. It Is an old saying that cabbages can not be worked too frequently. They seem to take a fresh start every time they are cultivated and given a good hoeing between the plants. This Is particularly the case with late cab bages, which have portions of the dry season to contend with. Millet. Millet is easily grown and thrives well on all kinds of soils, giving ex cellent results on sandy land If manure is used. It crowds weeds out and soon takes possession of the land. One point in connection with millet is not to cut it too late. The best time is when the seed-heads are forming. The seed should not be allowed to mature, as they are liable to injure horses. Cows will thrive well on millet hay, and horses prefer it to some kinds. There Is no surer crop than millet if the land la In good condition.
