Simple Cures, ,Easily Tried.
For colds there are a dozen and
more pleasant cures in the garden,
Beans, bruised and boiled with garlic,
will cure the most obstinate cough, as
well as supplying a nutritious supper.
Red or black current jelly, with a
wineglass of brandy and some hot
water, nearly always nips a cold in
the bud.
Other cures for coughs and colds are
the juice of red cabbage, made into a
syrup with plenty of sugar, and taken
in teaspoon doses, Peel and squeeze
a few turnips, add three ounces of
sugar horseradish at meals and at in-
tervals all day for the persistent cough
following influenza„ Relief will be
speedy and lasting.
Corns and.warts you can cure by
applying boiled potatoes, the juice of
green figs, dandelion juice or elder-
berry juice.
Better still is a thin slice of pine-
apple bandaged over the corn and Left
for eight hours. The corn is then
quite soft, and can be easily removed.
Io brace the nerves, cut celery roots
into small pieces, dry and grind thein,
and make the powder into celery tea.
You can take it with cream and sugar,
and it will cure neuralgia if you suffer
so. Rosemary tea quickly removes
nervous depression; and a headache
can be cured by thyino tea or lavender
tea.
Earache is cured by a warmed cab-
bage leaf placed over the ear.
For sleeplessness hop tea or a hop
pillow never fails.
For burns apply red currant jelly
without delay. .
For the brain, apples strengthen it
by means of their phosphorus ; aspar-
agus brings forth one's genius ; sage
and balm improve the memory ; cres-
ses invigorate the intellect; prunes
and hops soothe the nerves ; and both
celery and slop gin remove brain
to, fteg.

FAULTS.
When speaking of a person's faults,
Pray don't forget your own ;
Remember those with hones of glass
Should seldom throw a stone ;
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those that sin,
'Tis better to commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge a min
Until lye's fairly tried,
Should we not like his company
Wo know the world is wide;
Some may have faults, and who has
not;
The old as well as young—
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty Lo their one.
1'11 tell you of a better plan,
And find it works full well;
To try my own defects to cure
And not of others tell ;
And though I sometimes hope to be
No more than some I know,
My own short -comings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all when we commence
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word can do
To those we little know ;
Remember, curses sometimes, like
Our chickens, "roost at home";
Don't speak of others faults until
You have none of your own,

It should be the best spot in the gar.

the crown is just below the surface.
have the roots of each plant well
spread out and cover lightly with the
richest dirt you eau Sind, or If you
are in no burry for results you can
plant the seed either In a bed to be
transplanted or where they will re.
main In the bed. I prefer the latter
method, declares a Virginia corre-
spondent of Farm Progress. And
when I say "bed" I mean what the
term "garden bed" Implies—that is, a
rich, deep soli, full of humus as well
as fresh organic matter, In a dry and
sunny place and have the rows to run
east and west.
If you plant three-year-old roots yon
can eat somo asparagus the next sea-
son if you are in a hurry, but it is bet-
ter
etter not to. Enough space rnust be left
between the rows to • cultivate and
wallz in when cutting the roots in tee
spring.
But I would not stop at merely mak-
ing a bed or two, If you have some
rich land alor : fence rows where
there is space enough for something
to grow scatter some seed, and the
chances are that in a few years you
will be getting as much asparagus
from these out of the way places as
from the beds that you cultivate and
pay special attention to. And another
point, when you are planting aspara-
gus if you are near a good town it
may be well to plant for a great deal
more than the family needs. No oth-
er vegetable is more salable,
If there are any who feel the need
of more information they can get bul-
letins on the subject from their state
experiment station cr the department
of agriculture at Washington.
As to those who already have as-
paragus beds, I will say that it will
be well worth while to put on them a
good thick coat of good barnyard
manure free from weed seed.. It is
better to do it in the fall or winter.

HELP ALONG YOUR ALFALFA.
Spring Tooth Harrow improved by
Changing Shape of Teeth.
"I inclose a photograph of two teeth
of a spring tooth harrow, one showing
the broad point as sent out from fac-
tories, the other showing the point as
I have had it changed to cultivate al-
falfa," says an Ohio correspondent of
the Iiansas 1+ armer.
"I bare this season used a harrow
with the teeth made over, as shown,
in my alfalfa. I believe it is superior
to all other implements so far put out
for this purpose. It will destroy the

FUNGOUS POTATOES.
Cid Messes That le Caused by Toe
Much. Wet Weether,
July Last a Jy atc4 early in August we
bad considerable Wet weather, The
potato tope suffered badly from a
blight. However, the vine recovered
sufficiently to mature a fair crop,. Ail
through the winter the query was,
"What makes the cooped potato bava
such a sweet taste?" And again on
cutting the tuber a brownish streak
or blotch appears all through the tu-
ber, resembling a marble cake, '.Phis
is .seated mostly beneath where the
eyes are and about one-eighth of an.
inch from the surface. The potato
ahowa no outward sign of disease ex-
cept that the eyes do not push as rap-
idly on a diseased potato as they do
on one tree from it, 'These streaks are
about one inch long and one-fourth
inch, wide. •
The query was, "What caused that
peculiar streaking in the tuber?" In
looking over a history of fungolds and
fungous disease of the potato we find
that a very similar condition existed
in Ireland in 1845, resulting In a great
potato famine there. 'That year was
a very wet year, and the natural moist
climate of Ireland gave a great im-
petus to this disease. It has not reap-
peared to any great extent till last
year. It bears no resemblance to the
potato scab either on the tuber or the
foliage. In this disease the leaves turn
a brownish black color and drop off,
while the stalk or stem may retain
some vitality even to sending out du.
plicate leaves. though much smaller.
The disease is, however, carried down
to the tuber and is seen there as de.
scribed, In dry seasons or in dry see,
tions no alarm need be felt as to the
disease spreading, but in low moist
sections ears should be exercised.
Ati'ected tubers should by no means
be planted. varieties resisting blights
In general are safer for planting so
as to be sure that this peculiar blight
gets no hold. In some parts of Ett.
rope it is bad, and no doubt but that
it has been introduced into this coun-
try from there. A few years ago we
received from England some varieties,
but nothing wrong was noticed at that
time. Should the disease appear on
the foliage sprayings of Bordeaux
should be given every ten or twelve
days through the season.—National

GROWING ENGLISH WALNUTS.

Eastern Orchards.
English walnuts are a welcome addi-
tion to the winter dinner bill, and
many of them are eaten in New Eng-
land. New are the New Englanders,
however, who have ever seen Eng-
lish walnuts growing. A Boston Globe
correspondent sent in two photographs
of walnut trees of the English variety
raised in this country, with a note
from the raiser of the nuts, Norman
Pomeroy of Lockport, N. Y.
"Few people realize," wrote Mr.
Pomeroy, "that English walnuts can

each cutting, if so often is.necessary,
it can be kept clean, and this with-
out noticeable injury to the alfalfa
roots. It is very seldom that a crown
will be cut off. The spring tooth has-
how bus been used at Ibe Ohio and
Illinois stations with the teeth as sent
out from the factories, but so far as I
know have not betel changed as I use
them.
'With changing they will not cut so
well»in bard ground and throw too
much soil over the young sprouts, al-
though this covering' of the young
plants does not scorn to make much
difference. The harrow es I use it
,'an be worked in the alfalfa till it is

It is certainly superior to any of the
118k or cutaway harrows used la your
;tate."
Some farmers say they have no
use for the experiment stations, or
they care nothing for practical in-
formation, but the man who keeps
posted and is always trying to get
something better to improve his
farm and stock is the man wlio
gets the price for what he has to
