Frrmanrnt Trellla of 'Wire.
The scarcity of lienn ik1os forces me
to resort to other mentis of giving sup
port to my lima henna, snys a gardener
in Farm and Fireside. At one time I
thought we could get around the dif
ficulty by planting the newer hush
limns. The latter however have never
given me more thnu a fraction of the
crop thnt I enn and do get from my
"pole" llnins, nnd now I plnnt the hit
ter exclusively. They nre trained to a
post, wire and string trellis.
Posts should he set firmly, nnd not
too far apart I use galvanized wire
of fair strength nnd find It good for a
number of yenrs. It has to stand quite
a strain, as the lond of thrifty vines is
very heavy, nnd I, therefore, give as
much support, by supplementary stakes
(between the posts), as is convenient
The wires nre mnde to rest in a crotch

now put several rows side by side, and
connect the posts nnd stakes across the
rows by cross strips fastened high
enough to allow the horse In cultlvat
ing to pass under it
For each row I stretch two wires,
one about six Inches above the ground
surface, the other about five feet from
the ground. Common binder twine Is
wound zigzag around the two wires. It
makes a useful nnd quite ornamental
support for the limns, and the vines
take readily, particularly and remark
ably so, to the strings, even without
much assistance or coaxing on the part
of the grower.
Superiority ot the Male.
The mule is less nervous than the
horse nnd therefore loses less energy In
useless fretting. In fact, one of the
chief characteristics of the mule is his
ability to tuke care of himself under
all circumstances, says Farming. Much
of the apparent shirking which is
charged against the mule is an inborn
tendency to husband his strength and
make ejery effort count The result
of this instinctive care on the part' of
the mule la that he Is able to turn out
more work than would be possible for
a horse of the same weight under the
same conditions. The mule instlnctlve-
Uy avoids holes, sharp obstacles, barbed
wire fences and Various other forms of
danger which nre not so successfully
avoided by horses. It Is a matter of
common observation that In instances
where mules run away tliey seldom ln

Value ot a Silo.
It is very important to provide some
means by which the dairy cow can be
supplied with good food at all seasons
of the year in order that she may yield
milk most economically. Such medium
may be found In the silo which fur
nlshes a place for the storing of food
in the form of silage. It Is a well
known fact that the nearest an Ideal
food that can be obtained for the dairy
cow Is good pasture ; but for several
months in the year green pasture Is
not available. At such times the best
substitute are corn silage and such
roots as mangels and turnips. Corn
yields an average of twice ns much
dry matter per acre as root crops ; and
since the latter involve much more la
bor, and greater expense, silage Is far
more economical.

Spreading Manure.
When the manure Is not decomposed
In the heap It must be decomposed In
the soil before the plants can utilize it
as a food, and the sooner the manure Is
spread the better It will be for the crop,
As It Is difficult to spreud manure on
plowed ground, owing to the labor
of hauling over the rough, soft ground
the method practiced by those who
plow twice Is to spread the manure on
the unplowed ground in the rough (not
harrowing), and when the laud Is cross
plowed later on the manure is more lu
tlmately mixed with the soli.

Ileea and Snioklsf.
Many times bees nre smoked more
than is necessary ; perhaps, because not
every one knows that during a nectar
flow some honey is lost every time a
hive Is opened, snys Farming. When
bees are smoked they fill themselves
with honey and if so much smoke is
used thnt most of the bees in the hive
nt that time take honey, It will be
more than an hour Iwfore It Is redepos-
ited Into the cells and the regular work
resumed. Bees sometimes gather nec
tar enough to make a pound of honey
an hour, so one can see thnt It would
be quite a loss If every colony in a
fair sized apiary were smoked enough
to Interrupt the work for one hour.
Retting Fence Poata.
Some farmers argue that it is best to
set posts early in the fall, when the
ground is solid. Of course, a post care
fully Bet at any time will remain In its
place, but the fall season Is really a
much worse time than in the spring.
Digging the hole makes the soil loose,
and if done hi the fall It has not time
to become compact again. Water fil
ters down through the loose soil, which
will raise the post a little every yenr
until It throws it out altogether. If
the soil has time to settle It absorbs
less moisture, nnd nfter the first year,
If the heaving out has not already be

Slake an AaiHtruKua Ded.
Here is n reminder from one who
evidently appreciates the good things
every farmer may have lu his garden.
He advises everyone to make an as
paragus bed, and says very truly It is
easily and quickly done. Asparagus
needs a rich, mellow, warm soli. Ma-
nure the ground thoroughly with well
rotted stable manure. Flow eight to
ten inches deep or deeper. Flant lu a

plants at a cost of from 50
cents to $1. Open a row with plow or
a cultivator. Set plants two feet apart
In row with crown, three Inches below
surface, l'ress soil firmly about plants,
fill up the row and cultivate same as
corn or beans, and next year you will
have an abundance of delicious and
healthful food, and the same will con
tinue for years If you keep free from
weeds find add each year a fresh sup
ply of farm fertilizer.
To Itlnen Cream.
Cream left to Itself will become sour
spontaneously. This Is the result of
the growth of lactic acid bacteria,
which feed upon the milk sugar, and
as a final process convert it into a lac
tic acid. Other forms of bacteria are
always present In cream; some have
little or no effect In the ripening proc
ess, while others, if allowed to de
velop, produce undesirable and often
obnoxious flavors. To cultivate and de
velop these "wild" germs Is called
"spontaneous" ripening, and Is often at
tended with uncertainty. Good butter
making demands the use of a "starter,"
either home-made or a pure culture.
The former should be niaife of selected
skim niUk.
Keeping: lloaja Clean.
To give the pigs a thorough scrub
bing may appear to be labor thrown
away, but If two lots of pigs are treat
ed alike In every res)ect, except that
one lot receives a thorough scrubbing
with soapsuds once In a while, there
will be a marked difference In favor
of the bogs that are washed when the
time for slaughter arrives, a clean
bed of straw with a dry hftuse, so as
to afford them comfort at night will
also promote thrift and growth. The
ho Is naturally a cleanly animal and
enjoys a bath. If considered a filthy
animal, that devours filthy food, It Is
because of the treatment given. Hogs
will select clean and wholesome food
If glveu the opportunity to do so.

as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when In health and
how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they
enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome
diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved,
not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an Injuri
ous or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist
nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure
and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has
come into general favorjn many millions of well Informed families, whose estimate
of Its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because
they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in Its action. We inform all reputa
ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an
original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and
presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californlan blue figs are
used to promote the pleasant taste ; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence
we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent
medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication.
Please to remember and teach ycur children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs
always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly
printed on the front cf every package and that it Is for sale in bottles of one size
only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having
printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fall to get
the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have
a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children,
whenever a laxativo remedy Is required.

Both Husband and Children How Thousand
of Mothers Have Been Saved From Nervou

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care
for children ; it ruins a child's disposi
tion and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
in; children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The Ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner
vous despondency, " the blues," sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise, from some derangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
