Such an action. particularly at this time. when the excitement attend- ing the Zola trial has not yet abated. would it is claimed. have a tendency to cause another antiSemitic out- break. Mme.

This is used as a swab. Fill an old tin pail three-fourths full of ashes. On the top of the ashes place a layer of live wool coals ani on these coals a dish of wax. You are now ready ‘0 80 to Work. The coals will keep the wax warm. With the swab put a good coat ot wax over all the exposed tissue. Be careful that it is not hot enough to burn the wood and tissues on the bark of the small trees. It the denuded sur- face is large, after waxing wind a thick strip of old tender muslin about the tree in spiral form.- Then use a little wax to fasten the enl.

MAKE THE POTATO FIELD FERTILE ordinary narrow. a disk or other deep “orking barrow, until the surface is in the condition of a well cared for gar- den plot. Lay off the land in rows three feet apart and plant the potatoes 18 inches apart in the row. Cover to a depth of three or four inches and after plant- ing go over the field with a smoothing harrow. As soon as weeds begin to ap- pear at all, even before the potatoes are up, go over the field with a smooth- ing harrow again and continue this until the plants are large enough to cultivate. If all this work has keen thoroughly done and the land is not especially foul, the potato crap will he in good condition to withstand the ravages of insects or fungus pests or the effects of drouths. They will also be more easily dug when wanted for table use and of much higher duality than if the field was carelessly prepared and cultivated. HARLEY AND OATS FOR H’X} PAS- TUBE. When the clover crop has failed or if a fielil “as not swede .1 last fall and is | not to he sown this spring. a very good " substitute can le had by sowing a mixâ€" 3 ture of oats and barley.

Have the ground as fine as possible and well compacted i so that if dry weather comes the crop will not be seriously injured. If it is not desirable to sow with a seeder. barrow before seeding until the seed bed is thoroughly fined. then go over the ground with a drill, having it set so that the seed will be covered 2 or 2 1-2 in.

It was a good, cheerâ€" ful, lively song and we used to sing it in school. But as I remember things this song must have been sung more as a preventive than as a cure, because we didn't have any care in those days; we used to sing the song without any adequate notion of what care was; we used to gallop through it in the cheer- iest sort of way possible. “So ‘dull’ care is a brand that never disturbed me in the least. 11. is asso- ciated in my mind with youth; with a period of iife when 1 actually didn't know what care was, and when I laugh- ed at it. as I did at everything else.
