The First Page Section Contains one of the best and most up-to-date maps Of Indiana it is possible for us to obtain. In striking colors it shows plainly—v The counties, county seats, and all the towns in the state. The congressional districts, plainly outlined and numbered. The railroads, interurbans, rivers and canals. The distance between all railroad stations. Around the margin of this map are good photographs of all the governors of Indiana, from Governor Arthur St. Clair of the Northwest Territory down to and Including Gov. J. Frank Hanly On the reverse side of the map is a complete list of all towns and postofflces in the state, arranged in alphabetical order, with the population of each. The map is indexed with marginal figures and letters, so that a town, however large or small, may be instantly pointed out. With the establishment of rural routes the postoffices of many small towns have been closed and the people served by rural route out’of a neighboring town. This map shows how to address mail for such places.

The Home Library Wall Chart would easily sell for $2.00 at any Book store or map supply house. It will prove a valuable feature in any home or office or school.

THE WOOD LOT. Devices For Making the Cutting of Timber Less Laborious. The increase of interest in timber raising makes the consideration of any devices of aid to the woodcutter of Interest. The accompanying sketch shows a support or guide for a saw, which may readily be attached to a log or timber with ordinary tools to

facilitate the sawing of the log. The details of this attachment are shown. Says the Scientific American: “The attachment consists of a clamp adapted to be secured to the handle (A) of an ordinary ax. The clamp comprises two jaws (B), through which a bolt is passed. The upper end of this bolt terminates in a support. The support consists of two parallel .arms, between which a roller (O) is mounted to rotate. The bolt which passes through the jaws of the clamp is fitted with a Wing nut, and by turning this nut the jaws may be pressed together on the handle of the ax. In use the ax is driven into the log, and the clamp is then made ‘fast with the support, standing vertically. The saw is then guided between the arms of the support, and the back of the saw rests on the roller. With* the saw thus supported and guided, it may be operated in the usual manner, to saw through the log. The roller may be mounted near tbe outer end of the support or close to tbe jaws. la the former case the saw will operate between the roller and the jaws, and the support must be mounted to project downward. In order to permit of removing the saw from the support It is preferable to support the ■aw on the outer aide of the roller, guiding It in the open slot formed by the two. arms. of. the •SMprt. The

The Second Section Contains a handsomely engraved may of the United States, and four smaller maps, in colors, showing Alaska and our Island Possessions. Also a map of the United States showing dates of accessions of territory from 1776 to the present day. This is an exceptionally fine map, is up to date in all details, shows all the state capitols and all the principal cities, railroads, etc. Around the margin of this section are good portraits of all the presidents from George Washington down to Theodore Roosevelt * On the reverse side of this section is shown the population of all the principal cities of the United States arranged in alphabetical order by states, and growth is indicated by the census figures in parallel columns for the years 1880, 1890 and 1900. ■ ' ' ' ■ . f There is also much valuable data and interesting information about the possessions of the United States, and the Panama Canal Zone.

damp is then applied, with the support projecting upward instead of downward.” This useful attachment for ■awing logs has been patented by Mr. Levi Smith of Marshfield, Coos county, Ore. A sawhorse for household use may be made like the ordinary sawhorse, except that at the back Instead of a narrow edge a wide edge is put, with a top piece four inches wide. It can be made wider if desired. Two strips along the side form a box, which will hold tools and nails. It is about the handiest thing the handy man around the farm can have. To bring the forests to their full productiveness they must be cut over. The ax is the forester’s hoe as well as his scythe. Reaping and sowing are

usually for him one and the same operation, and cultivation is accomplished by getting rid of what he does not want. There were cut from the national forests during the last fiscal year the equivalent of a little over 280,000,000 board feet of timber. This Involved cutting operations on slightly less than 360,000 acres of land, or about one four-hundredths of the total area of the government’s forests. In other words, hardly a beginning has been made in bringing the forests to their highest productiveness through use, and their reserve of mature timber has scarcely been touched by the operations under way. There is money in the wood lot, and the average farmer in awakening to this fact Destroying Smut. To destroy the germs of smut on oats and other seeds add half a pound of formalin to thirty gallons of water, spread the seed on a barn floor and sprinkle the solution over it making It thoroughly damp. Then shovel it into a pile and cover it with sacks or blankets for about two hours, so that the chemical may act on the grain. The grain may then be dried for future use, but It is better to sow it at once. The seed should not be so moist as to pack in tbe hand. Thirty gallons will treat 100 to 150 bushels of grain. Utilizing ■ Broken Ho*. Don’t throw away the hoe with a broken handle even if there are only two feet of the handle left. Instead take It to a blacksmith shop and have the hoe straightened out on a line with tbe handle. It would not be amiss also to have the hoe sharpened. You will find this useful In many ways around the chicken house or in the garden for digging weeds or lifting plants ter repotting.

The Third Section Contains a map of the world engraved especially for this chart. It shows the ocean routes, and distances and length of time required to travel between different pprts. The countries of the several continents are all brought out sharply in colors, and the capitals and principal cities are all shown. There are also TWO NEW MAPS OF THE Panama Canal Zone Showing in relief with actual measurements, the great work the U. S. government is undertaking there. The map shows the lock canal as proposed by the latest plans, the artificial reservoirs, dams, spillways and other important features. This section also shows photographs of all the rulers of the nations of the earth, and their flags and coats of arms. The reverse side gives an up-to-date historic sketch of the Panama Canal, profusely illustrated with pictures taken during President Roosevelt’s recent trip of inspection to the Isthmus.

MODERN IMPLEMENTS.

Maks It Possible For the Farmer to Dispense With Extra Help. The scarcity of help on farms may ultimately drive landowners to greater economy and to a more general use of devices and conveniences which lighten the work. It is surprising bow many aim to get along by muscle power alone, never trying any other method, which might save half their work. An old farmer says that his neighbors called him laxy when he first brought a hay his farm, and when he rigged up ,a cable and used a trip hay fork to unload bis hay he had • crowd of neighbors around him, "just to see bow it worked.” The economical and up to date farm er counts all of these labor savers just that much of bis equipment, and it is only by using them that he is enabled to meet present conditions. The walking stirring plow and walking cultivators are back 'numbers. Now the sulky or gang plow is used, and three big, lusty horses will turn over three or four acres a day. A manufacturer has got out a rotary harrow, which is attached to the plow, and the land is turned and harrowed at one operation. If any man is justified in venturing money it is the farmer when he invests it in up to date tools and implements for more rapid and better work on the farm. Early Tomatoes. A truck gardener tells that this is the way he raised early tomatoes: He took a dry goods box 2 by 3 feet and eight inches deep. In each corner of the box be set a 'piece of two inch pipe, so that be could water the plants from the bottom, pouring in the water and letting it permeate through the soil, which was composed of a sandy loom put into the box after the bottom had been covered to the depth of three inches with well rotted and sifted stable manure. The seeds were planted and lightly covered and the soil kept moist, but not wet. In one week after planting the green tops appeared, and tn three weeks they were transplanted into a similar box. being set an inch deeper than they grew in the first box. They, grew in the box in sheltered places for three weeks, when they were ready for the garden. Savoy Cabbage. Savoy leaved cabbages are largely used in Europe. They are marked by a peculiar fine crumbling of all the leaves, particularly those of the head. They are generally of better table quality than common cabbage, more tender, finer in texture and of more delicate flavor. The plants are better able to resist cold, but do not give so large a yield of heads, and the beads are less solid and canpot be handled so wejl as the more common sorts.
