The Most Useful Tree.
From the Dundee Advertiser.
Probably the most useful tree In the
■world is the cocoanut palm, every por
tion of which is put to good use. The
trunk Is used for building houses, for
making furniture and farm Implements
and countless other articles; hollowed
Dut it makes a canoe. It^Jeaves are
. used for thatching, the leaWstalks for
paddles and fishing lines. The blossom
In bud makes preserves and pickles,
besides serving as a staple vegetable.
From the pith of the trunk Is derived a
kind of sago, and from the flowers
sugar, vinegar and toddy, which, af
ter fermentation, becomes arrack. The
ripe cocoanut is a valuable articles of
diet. The white kernel produces a de
licious cream, a good substitute for
cow's milk, while the oil Is used as a
lubricant, for soap and candle making.
It Is also applied to counteract the
stings of scorpions. The refuse of the
oil, or oil cake. Is valuable as food for
f animals and poultry, and as manure
for the soil. From the shell drinking
cups, spoons, lamps, bottles, firewood,
and even tooth powder are obtained.
The husk supplies fibre for mattresses
and cushions, brushes and mats, ropes,
cables, nets and even the harness for
bullocks. The webb sustaining the foot
stalks is made Into strainers and torch
es. The tree acts as a conductor In
protecting houses from lightning.
White Powder on Nutmegs.
From the Providence Journal.
"Brush that white powder off the
nutmegs before you begin to grate ’em,”
Ssald the bartender sternly to the young
% apprentice.
"But thafis the bloom, ain’t It?” re
monstrated the lad.
“Bloom!” sneered the bartender. “No,
sir; it is oyster shell powder. The na
tives as soon as they gather the nut
meg roll it in a powder of ground oyster
shells and that protects it, on Its long
voyage to market, from the weevils.
The weevils, otherwise, would eat it up.
"But the powder has served its turn
now, so brush it off.”

AMERICAN LAWNS.
In every human production there is a
touch of individuality peculiar to the
worker and so it is with the American
garden. The smooth lawns with only a
few gorgeous flowers beds or borders and
well-kept trees axe the universal and prac
tically only style of garden in America,
it,; bmh bmh bmh bmh bmh bmh bmh
A Japanese newcomer to this country
writes that seeing these plain green front
grounds for the first time, she was under
the impression that the real garden ex
isted in the rear. Now, knowing that this
is not the case, the striking display of na
tional characteristic appeals to her, and
she expresses herself thus; “The exposure
of a private garden to the public enjoy
ment-cultivating it In front of the house,
along the street, with no barriers to se
clude il—seems to reveal a spirit of co
operation and open-heartedness. What a
boundless benefit it is for the public to
have the roadside thus brightened and
beautified with various flowers and greens,
which man adores by nature. A wretched
beggar may enjoy the smile of spring as
much as the owner of a garden; poor tene
ment house children may be as familiar
with nature as any favorites of fortune.
Here continental magnanimity Is exhibit
ed, in decided contrast to our self-seeking
seclusion, natural to all islandexs.
But i have a slight discontent in this
full decoration of front grounds, for, be
sides its lack of artistic design, I see in it
—perhaps because of prejudice—the same
motive displayed as in making an array
of dishes on dining room walls, or in hav
ing all of one’s beautiful pictures in sight
at one time, the exhibition of all one’s
choicest possessions, which does not ac
cord with the Japanese idea of liking to
use silk lining for cotton clothes."
But she must and does adnadt that none
but such a form of garden could keep har
mony with the commanding American
houses and their practical inhabitants. If
one were to settle miniature rock moun
tains and artificial ponds, with log bridges
and antique stone lanterns upon the sunny
open grounds before enormous colored
buildings, the result would be Incongruous,
not to say ridiculous. No more w’ould an
up to date American woman prove to be a
fitting figure in the quiet colored shady
scenes of a Japanese garden.
The imaginative gardens of Japan, to
gether with their lowly thatched cottages,
may furnish some pleasure-ground sug
gestions for this country while it Is like
ly that the practical gardens of America
wfill be more frequently adopted by the
Japanese.

A Genuine Fisherman.
From London Answers.
If ever there was an inthusiastic fisher
man It was old Jones. He was quite con
tent to sit for hours on the bank of tho
stream, hoping for a bite, and if he didn’t
get one, his mind thrilled at the thought
of what splendid sport he had two years
ago. Thus he wras found by a fellow
angler.
Fished long in this stream?” he asked
pleasantly.
“Twenty-three years,” was the laconic
response.
“Then this stream must be worth fish
ing in,” went on the stranger. “You must
get a lot of bites.” N
Gazing intently at his rod, Jones replied
with zest:
“Two years ago in this very spot I had
as fine a bite as anyone need wish for. Aid
I shall get another yet.”

The Drum and the Sticks,
It Is mighty hard for most people to re
sist temptation to Joke. Last night a band
played In the lobby of the Albany hotel In
honor of the delegates to the laundrymen'i
convention. After the music was over the
band was told to return at 9 and play some
more. The snare drummer asked the cigar
girl if he might leave his drum with hei
until he returned. She took the drum and
put It on a shelf behind her and then her'
troubles began. The first man who step
ped up to the stand to buy a cigar smiled
and said:
"Trying to drum up a Utle business, ara
you?"
The girl laughed, but did not reply to
the Joke. The man bought hJs cigar and
moved away, very well pleased with him
self. Next came one of the visiting laun
drymen. Ho saw the drum.
“I may need the drum when the con
vention's over," he said. "Is it for sale?"
“No,” replied the girl. "But why do
you think you may need It?"
"Oh, I may have to beat my way home."
said the laundryman. He also went away
delighted with himself.
Next came a dudish young fellow who
wanted a package of clgarets. He noticed
the drumsticks.
"Well,” he said, In a loud voice, "a per
son who works with a drum near by nat
urally sticks to his business.
The girl didn't crack a smile. But a

THE TURKEY CROP.
Last fall when I was traveling
through Missouri I noticed a great
many Hocks of turkeys on farms. Often
one would see a bunch of from fifty to
100, big, bronze fellows that would
weigh from fifteen to twenty-five
pounds and when these would
sell from $1.60 to $2.50 each. It will he
seen that the business Is very profit
able. The expense of raising them Is
very small, as turkeys are great for
agers and they pick up their living
about the farm where bugs and grass
hoppers are plentiful. Those who are
very successful tell me that turkeys
are very hard to raise up to five or six
weeks, us they are very puny and liable
to all sorts of complaints. But, hav
ing passed that period, they are no
more trouble and grow very fast. Tur
keys cannot stand confinement as well
as chickens, and It Is best to allow
them to follow their own Inclination
and roost In the trees or on the sheds,
Instead of on low perches. There Is
nothing better than corn for fattening,
and they must be given all they will |
eat for three or four weeks Just before
marketing.
THE CLOVER SEED CROP.
There Is sura to be a very heavy
demand this season for clover seed, and
current high prices are bound to fetch
on to the market a great deal of poor
seed. Thei;e seems to be no way to
effectively debar the inferior seed from
the market, for as one dealer puts It,
eight farmers out of ten will buy the
seed cheapest In price. There Is need
of more than ordinary caution this
season, because of the urgency of the
situation. There Is no economy In
buying seed, 40 per cent, contamina
tion, at $8 per bushel, when clean,
high-grade seed may be had at frefm
$10 to $12. Low grade seeds are slow
to germinate, and a large per cent, of
even the pure seeds will fall to germi
nate at all. If there is anything whtfch
It will pay to buy, because of cheap
ness, It Is not seeds of any kind.
FARM FACTS.
There Is a great deal of carelesB
work about stacking. hay. It Is us
ually a hurry job and not enough pains
are taken to straighten out the fork
fuls, Where the unk iding is done
by slings several hundred pounds are
dumped on the stack at one time. Un
less the stacker straightens out these
rolls with the fork, the stack is bound
to take water whenever It rains.
Farmers who grow clover for seed
should encourage some one to run a
clover huller. Seed threshed out by
the ordinary huller is worth a $1 a
bushel more than seed threshed by the
ordinary machine.
Too often country school teachers
are city bred young men or young
women, who have no thought or lik
ing for agriculture. They are not the
teachers who can show pupils the ad
vantages of farm life.
A recent case of scours among a
bunch of neighbor's calves shows the
Importance of giving careful attention
to the feeding palls. These palls had
been used for over a month, and dur
ing all of that time had not been
thoroughly scalded. The only attempt
at cleaning was rinsing with cold wa
ter. A short time ago one of the
calves was taken with a bad case of
scours and died. Three others of the
bunch now look as If they would not
pull through.
Pioneer days may have past In the
central west, but the pioneer practice
of throwing the manure out of the
horse stables and allowing It to lie
there for months, has not passed by
a long ways. Frequently one sees the
accumulation of six months or more
heaped up against the sides of the
stables. Every ton of that manure
which was thrown out last winter has
now lost at least BO per cent, of Its
value.
The fall Is the ideal time to scat
ter manuie. Why not make one Job
of it and scatter the manure thinly
now, instead of putting it in piles and
then go over and scatter with a fork
next spring. It Is economy to make
the manure go as far us you can, and
then go over the Helds more fre
quently.
Many orchards have been hurt this
season with sun scald. The way to pre
vent such Injury is to head trees Jow,
so that the trunk is shaded. Where
trees have been headed high the only
thing to do is to protect the trunks
with building paper, boards or anything
that will break the sun.
Timothy hay Is the kind In greatest
demand fop horse feeding In cities.
Hera hay sells upon its quality. One
may think he can fool his own stock
with poor hay; but let him send a load
ol over-rjpe, badly colored hay to mar
ket. The returns will show that city
hay buyers are up to snuff.
Sometimes hogs will not thrive, al- i
though they have an abundance of pas- !
turo auct grain. There Is such a thing
as keeping hogs too long on clover and
the system demands something else.
Cut down the rations for a while and
feed some charcoal, salt and copperas.
This frequently will start a hog on the
upgrade.
If the garden has been a failure this
yettr start right this fall for better re
sults next spring. Pile on well rotted
manure and turn up the ground this'
fall for a thorough freezing. And then ’
don't try to grow vegetables and weeds '
on the same piece of ground.
An experiment station states that the :
value ol' the manure made on a farm i
where twenty cows, four horses, fifty
sheep and ter. pigs are kept, Is around I
$600. and that about one-half of It is in
the liquid manure.
There does not seem to be any Imme
diate danger of the American hen or
cow clogging the market. It seems that
the appetite of American people for
dairy and poultry goods Is growing
faster than the output. Just think, the
poultry and eggs of this country are
worth more every year than our corn, i
oats and hay crop combined.
Keeping sheep Is profitable, providing i
one can keep clear of ailments and
pests. When stomach or tape worms
get hedd of the lambs they soon play
havoc. These tilings must be handled
promptly and handled right. i
KEEPING MILK AND CREAM.
During the warm weather tt la dift.
cult to keep cream or milk In the beat
condition without Ice. The greatest
trouble that creamery managers have
to contend with now la this lack ot
condition, as It Is Impossible to maka
good butter out ot poor cream. There
are two things essential In keeping milk
or cream, proper care o£ every utensil
that touches the milk, and the milk or
cream must be cooled as quickly aa
possible and kept cool. A dirty milk
pail sets bacteria to work before the
milk Is strained. Milk setting about
the stables becomes contaminated and
trouble begins. To keep milk, first see
that the cows do not drink muddy or
foul water; get the milk out of the
stables as quickly as possible, and then
cool the milk, and don't mix milkings.
Whut the dairyman most needs Is a
good, cool milk house. Ice Is by far the
easiest and cheapest refrigeration, but
not all' dairymen are situated so that
they can put up Ice, and many who ate
suitably situated will not do IL Where
Ice is not used then one must resort
to cold water, or to the old-faahloned
outdoor cave. Hut In order to keep
milk and raise the maximum amount
<rf cream, or to keep cream In lit con
dition, until It Is delivered to the
creamery, one must have eome ar^
rangement for cooling, or the work will
be done under miuiy disadvantages.
DAIRY NOTES.
Don't get too busy to give the cows
proper attention. Irregular feeding or
milking now will tend to lessen the
milk flow, and no amount of coaxing
or feeding will get It back this season.
Milk palls should always be cleaned
as soon as they are emptied. If they
are filled with cold water before the
film from the milk forms, they will not
be hard to clean. Rinse with cold
water, then scald and sun.
If I were going to move, even several
hundred miles, I should certainly tako
two or three of the best cows along,
and also two or three promising heifer
calves. The freight may he nearly aa
much as the animals are worth, but in
a new country real good cows are
scarce.
Here Is one thing that will stilt stand
harping upon: Clean the cream sepa
rator. A good dairy authority states
that In Missouri there are 25,000 cream
separators owned by farmers, and of
these at least 20,000 are In the hands
of farmers who do not know the first
thing about handling cream.
The success of dairying In any tocad
Ity will depend upon the pains each
farmer takes with Ids cream. The
only fair way to sell cream Is by the
test, and It Is the test that usually
kicks up a row. If you cream Is test
ing low go to the bottom of the matter
und find out where the trouble Is.
Milk fever Is liable to occur with the
heaviest milkers, and cows which have
had It once are liable to have It again.
Such cows must have plenty of exer
cise and laxative foods, just before
calving. The trouble Is not so fre
quent during the full.
Threshing time will soon be along
now. Save the straw for bedding, ma
nure made without plenty of straw to
take up the liquid, has lost half of Its
value. Then plenty of straw used as
bedding keeps the cows dean and com
fortable. Save the straw, and then use
It.
One of our readers writes us that
scours In calves Is caused by feeding
inllk too cold and too much at a time.
The trouble, nine eases out of ten.
comes from dirty palls and dirty sur
roundings.
I have never seen a cow that would
not break over Into the cornfield. If sho
had half a chance. The way to head
her off Is to lix up the fences, before
she discovers the weak places.
Don’t throw away any silage that
may be lefi over. This will come In
very nice In feeding now and will save
Just that much of the pastures. But
by all means clean out the silo every]
year. There Is sure to be some mouldy1
silage left and the fresh silage should'
not be put in on top of It.
This Is hard weather on the cows,
Be sure that they have plenty of good
water when they want It. Don’t ex-1
peet the cows to keep up If they are
put into a dry and shadeless posture.
An Illinois dairyman recently weat
up Into Wisconsin to pick up some!
dairy cows. He paid on an average oft
$100 each for them, and was glaid to
get them. These cows were the get of
pure-bred Holst.-In bulls, and above
the average. This price shows that It
pays to use good bulls.
Don’t sell off the good cows, even If
you are offered twice what they are!
worth. Keep the good ones for your-,
self. In fact they are the only kind'
worth keeping.
Pedigree Is a good thing to look In-,
to, .when buying the dairy sire. But'
when buying cows I would rather look'
Into the milk pail. I would not give;
much for a cow that gives less than,
four gallons a day.
When milk cans are used for carry
ing skim milk from the factory back!
home, be sure that they are cleaned
well every day. This neglect is the
source of much trouble.
Some dairy sections are finding ft
profitable to send out Instructors show-'
lug how butter milk may be produced.
The w hole thing lies’in knowing how to
take proper care of the cow and the
milk.
Farmers wives find some trouble in ’
packing butter during the summer and
keeping it In good condition until win
ter. There is no trouble, of course, if
you have ice, but not many farmers put
up ice. Pack the butter in glazed jars
to within two Inches of thd top. Cover
with cloth and over this fill in salt even
with the top of the Jar. Keep the Jars
in the cellar or some cool place.
df you can’t find any better place,
turn the cans and pails up-side down
over the fence posts. The best way
tu air and sun these things Is on a
shelf or bench on the south side of the
milk house.

subscribers dally with a column of
short pertinent comments on their
town, their habits, and themselves. The
department on account of Its Intimate
personal flavor was the most popular
thing in the paper.
The editor, as he saw It growing in
