To Clean Buggies.
After washing the mucL dust, etc.,
from your buggies, carriages and wag
ons, let them get dry; then take lin
seed oil (sometimes called flaxseed
oil) and saturate a sponge or cloth
and go. all over the rig. You can see
at once the effectsJ it will take the
mud stains and ' spots all away and
give the rig a gloss and appearance of
a new vehicle. I have practiced ttfis
for quite a while and it gives good
results. E. R. L Freeland in The

Watering Plants. , .
Right "here I want to tell the lover
of hanging-plants how I keep mine
supplied with water. Plants suspended :
from the ceiling are not easy to get at;
and are frequently neglected or for
gotten for days at a time. As a re
sult, they are generally sorry-looking
"specimens. I take a tin can holding a
pint or more. I make a hole in the
bottom of it, just large enough to let
water dribble through slowly- This I
fill with water, and place on the soil
in the center of the basket. Generally
there will "be foliage enough to con
ceal it. If there is not, it can be made
inconspicious by painting it a dull
green. The slow, steady outflow of
water will keep the soil evenly moist
If the hole in the can is of the right
size. This must be determined by ex
periment. It is an - easy matter to
fill the can every day. or oftener if
necessary, and put it in place, but it
is not an easy matter to mount a chair
or the step-ladder and apply water in
the old way. Eben E. Rexford, in
Lippincott'-s.
Foods Affecting Flavor of Eggs.
An interesting experiment was con
ducted not very long since to deter
mine the effects of food fed to the hen
upon the flavor of her egg by the
North Carolina Experiment Station,
and the results are worth recalling,
sine they throw a light upon the sub
ject. Chopped wild onions bulbs and
tops were given in mash to the hens.
At the beginning of thetrial half an
ounce per head was. fed daily to hens
of different breeds, but no noticeable
flavor of onions could be detected un
til the 15th day, when-a slight "onion"
flavor was perceptible. Then the
amount of onions fed was doubled for
four days and afterwards discontinued.
The eggs laid during these four days
savored so strongly of onions that they
could not be eaten, but the flavor be
came less noticeable day by day after
the feeding of onions had been stopped
until a week "had elapsed, when no for
eign flavor was noticeable.
It would . seem therefore that flavor
can be readily imparted to eggs by
feeding but that different foods which
are not so strongly flavored as onions
might probably be fed without impart
ing any distinct flavor ;to the eggs.

exercised to keep them from getting

Clean Food for Hogs.
The hog possesses certain habits
which are apt to create the impression
that he is a lover of filth, and while it
is true that he possesses a few cleanly
habits, yet after all in this matter oth
er farm animals are more circumspect
in their mode of living.
The hog's short neck makes it al
most compulsory for him to partly
climb Into his trough at feeding time
and if attention is not paid to keeping
the feeding ground clean there will be
considerable filth devoured, says the
Homestead, While a hog will devour
more impurities than any other farm
animal, yet his system is by no means
designed to handle these economically,
and successful hog breeders generally
take great pains to feed pure food.
One common mistake in feeding
hogs is to use refuse from the kitchen
that is not only worthless as a food,
but decidedly injurious to the diges
tive system. We have observed cases
where all forms of dishwater were
carefully preserved for the porkers
and in this semi-liquid, semi-solid con
glomeration there is generallv con
siderable soapsuds.
Now soap is an excellent thing in
its proper place, hut as an aid to di
gestion it is a decided failure. Indeed,
it is decidedly injurious and we have
known many instances whefe hogs
were thrown out of condition and
stunted in their growth by its use.
Next in the list of injurious substances
to soapy water, or swill as it is gen
erally called, is that of supplying mud
dy drinking water. We fully appre
ciate the fact thr.t where running wa
ter is not available one. of the most
difficult tasks before the. stockman is
that of supplying his hogs with fresh,
clean water during the summer. Their
nature is such that they simply wjll
persist in taking possession of their
drinKirig fountain with their dirty
bodies, or if there is not room for
the whole body then, they will be
there with all fours. We have found,
that a good drinking fountain with a
surface just large enough to get their
noses in is about the best piece of
apparatus that a hogman can own.
If these are attached to barrels or
tanks and a supply of cinders or grav
el placed around it so as to prevent
a mud hole from forming, one may
hay reasonable success in supplying
hogs with clean water.
Where the old-fashion,ed, V-shaped
.trough is used the top should be well
latticed' so that the hogs cannot wal
low in it and even then the lattice
work should be constructed so as to
be easily removed in order to facili
tate a thorough cleansing at least once
a week. Filth in the water trough
will, in our opinion, weaken the di
gestive system of the hog and render
him a prey to disease quicker than
any other one thing. Many a person
feels that he cannot afford the ex
pense .of fitting up proper watering
places for hogs, but where any con
siderable number are kept the out
lay will be returned to the owner tea
times over in a single season.
The Only Thing They Could Use.
"Virginia, as everybody knows, is a

As the result of a trade, a man from
Ohio came into possession of a store
in a small town in one of the rockiest
of these sections. His first proceed
ing was to take an inventory cf the
stock on hand. Much to his surprise,
he found there was not a plow in the
store. He immediately dispatched an
order for a dozen plows to the near
est wholesale supply house, 50 or 100
miles distant.
The next day he "hitched up" and
took a drive over the neighborhood,
noting the general outlook and making
inquiries among the' residents.
On returning to the store, he sent
this message to his wholesale house :4

STRONGER THAN MEAT,
A Judge's Opinion of Grape-Nuti.
A gentleman who has acquired a ju
dicial turn of mind from experience on
the bench out in- the Sunflower State,
writes a carefully considered opinion
as to the value of Grape-Nuts as food.
He says:
"For the past five years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
"Thfc-crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispensa
ble necessity- in my family's everyday
life.
"It has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition as a preventive of
disease it is beyond value. I have been
particularly impressed by the beneficial
effects or" Grape-Nuts, when used by
ladles who are troubled witii face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"A to its nutritive qualities, my ex
peience is that one small dish of Grape
Nuts la superior to a pound of meat
for breakfast, which is an. important
consideration for any one. It satisfies
the appetite and strengthens the pow
er of resisting fatigue, while its use in
volves none of tihe disagreeable conse
quences thatvjfomstlmes follow a meat
breakfast." Name- given by v Postum

A FEW
CUTTING
REMARKS
The Tvuroose of a saw is to cat. i
It should cut easily, cut cleanly,
and cut with every movement.
I prefer an Atkins Saw. . Its blade
is "Silver Steel", recognized the
world over as the finest cruicible
steel ever made in ancient of modern
times. It is nurd, close-grained and
tough. It holds a sharp cutting edge
longer than any other Saw. Its
blade tapers perfectly from thick to
thin, from handle to tip. Thus it
makes leeway for itself, runs easily
and does not buckle. Its temper is
nerfect. When bent bv a crooked
thrust, it sprinprs into shape without kinking.
The Atkins Saw cuts and does it best of any.
We ni:ike all types and sizes of saws, but only
one grade the best.
Atkins Saws, Corn Knives, Perfection Floor
Scrapers, etc.. are sold by all good hardware
dealers. Catalogue on request.
