their rubber plants eventually grow sc 
tall as to become unwieldy and hard to 
handle. It is a simple matter to remedy 
this difficulty, and applies to the Dra 
caena as well. By a little surgical oper

other low-priced watches. 
Ingersoll watches are reliable, 
sturdy, honestly good-looking,as 
well as sold for so little money.

Announcement 
By an arrangement completed on 
March 3 i st, the Ingersoll assets were 
purchased by the Waterbury Clock 
Company. Thus Ingersolls are now 
marketed directly by the manufac¬ 
turers, who have made Ingersolls 
from the beginning.

Dad showing Billie and Bess a trick of the trade 
makes a picture you want of the fishing excursion. 
There will be plenty of such trips this summer 
—even if you only get away a day at a time—and 
chances for pictures are endless. The farm itself is 
full of them. 
It's all easy the Kodak way.

lwill have been formed just above the cut. 
|Then the moss can be removed, tlie stem 
severed at a point below the roots, and 
the new plant potted in the usual way. 
The operation is best performed in a room 
where the temperature remains at nearly 
<0 decrees, ami where there is consider¬ 
able moisture in the air: in other words, 
the kitchen. E. I. fakiunuto.n.

Thread for the English Sparrow 
Some of your readers have asked bow 
to prevent English sparrows from destroy¬ 
ing lettuce, pens, etc., in the garden. 
After considerable annoyance and loss 
from this pest. I found a remedy, at once 
simple, effective, and cheap. 
The sparrow is naturally a very sus¬ 
picious and wary customer: in fact, his 
wariness is his Undoing. I find by plac¬ 
ing ordinary (black! sewing cotton aloug 
each side of the row of peas. etc., at a 
height of from four to six inches from 
the ground, and stretched tight. Mr. Spar¬ 
row. in flying down, comes against it. and 
THE DIFFERENCE 
BETWEEN SUCCESS 
and FAILURE 
Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N. Y 
The Kodak City 
Often lies in the ability to hoe when 
the crops need it most. The SPRY- 
WHEEL TRACTOR makes this possi¬ 
ble, for no matter how high the plants 
or how close the rows (down to 7 
inches) this wonderful little tractor will 
cultivate better than by hand-hoeing 
and five times as fast. 
Thoroughly proven by years of practi¬ 
cal use on the market and farm gar¬ 
dens of this country. Low in first cost 
(only $150), practically fool-proof, this 
little wonder tractor may be converted 
from a power hoe to a power lawn 
mower in a jiffy. Its uses ’round the 
place are many, and it does every job 
within its range without fuss or trouble. 
Dealers wanted to sell the 
SPR YWHEEL. Attractive 
proposition to workers.

collecting Rent from Delinquent Tenant 
Is there any law in this State whereby 
|house rent Could be collected such as is¬ 
suing a landlord’s warrant? If the r.oi- 
ant was notified to vacate, how long 
would they have? I let a house to a per- 
son without drawing up any papers, ami 
tne.v will not pay their rent. r. t„ 
An application to your local justice of 
the peace would procure for you a war¬ 
rant to evict the tenant who does not pay 
ms rent We do not recommend collect¬ 
ing agencies, but would suggest that von 
give your account to your local attorney, 
lie will charge you no more than a col¬ 
lection agency, and the chances are that 
any collection agency would finally refer 
the account to a local attorney, "x r
