Chloroform administered as above might prevent 

 •sea-sickness, although I doubt it somewhat. A good 

 article of extract of Jamaica ginger is the best thing 

 I know of for seasickness, and nausea from other 

 causes. Several small doses, taken as often as the nau- 

 sea returns, have often banished it entirely. 



Various substances put on with whitewash will keep 

 off mice ; and if you use a whitewash of Portland ce- 

 ment it will probably keep off borers also. I do not 

 think that the addition of copperas would harm the 

 trees ; but a great many things have been recom- 

 mended and tried that have killed the trees, so you 

 want to look out. Our experiment stations are making 

 some thorough tests in this matter. Better follow their 

 advice. I think verj' likely fresh pine sawdust would 

 have the effect you mention. Perhaps our poultrj^men 

 •can tell us more about it.

 Farm Wagon Economy. 



The economy of this proposition is not all found in 

 the very reasonable price of the wagon itself, but in 

 the great amount of labor it will save, and its great 

 durability. The Electric Wheel Co., who make this 

 Electric Handy Wagon and the now famous Electric 

 Wheels, have solved the problem of a successful and 

 durable low-down wagon at a reasonable price. 



This wagon is composed of the best material 

 throughout — white hickory axles, 

 steel wheels, steel hounds, etc. 

 Guarantred o carry JOOO lbs. These 

 Electric Steel Wheels are made to 

 fit any wagon, and make practical- 

 ly a new wagon out of the old one. 

 They can be had in ^ny height de- 

 •sired. and any width of tire up to 8 

 inches. With an extra set of these 

 wheels a farmer can interchange 

 them with his regular wheels and 

 have a high or low down wagon at 

 will. Write for catalog of the full 

 "Electric Line "to Electfic Wheel 

 Co., Box 95, Quincy, 111.
