How to Repair Tree.
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

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

sand, . Fill the cavity and press the
cement close to the new bark (B, Fig.

opening for air and water to enter.
The life of a tree can be prolonged for
many years by such aid as this.

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.

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."

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.
